For every post and comment where China and the United States comes up there’s at least another companion post and comments talking about it. Just like this thread.

There’s about a dozen users who have been arguing with each other for about three years now. Discourse simply cannot be neutral about this dynamic with how they approach the topic.

And just an FYI; Some of the same folks will also crashout if you oppose Zionism, or insult the Epstein class.

Vibes, probably. Admins might not have liked a username made of text followed by numbers. It’s the kind of stuff the folks running it scrutinize.

Consider the context that World War 1’s conclusion left multiple imperial monarchies in ashes. The kind of government in question is one that is directly being sanctioned by aristocratic monarchy. The bourgeioise were and were working with kings and noble families as a matter of status quo, who had just spent years sending entire townships to the meatgrinder.

Yes, but at a time when social democratic parties in europe hadn’t quite formally formed or split into discernable socialist factions. The Social Democrats in Germany were in active coalition with monarchist anti-republic paramilitaries and had inherited the government from the abdicating kaiser. The KPD didn’t exist yet, and this was technically an internal critique of the Social Democratic Party of which she was a member.

At the same time, the Social Democrats in Russia included Lenin.

At any rate it isn’t worth giving the freikorps a pass by omission when unearthing conflicts about the SPD.

The investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing.

Blanket looka comfy. I hope it is the perfect combination of weight and insulation.

The whole ‘run government like a business’ idea usually entails running it into the ground. It’s just a more diplomatic way to express wanting to remove social services from people.

We allow it if they’re cut into really teeny tiny pieces.

It was the most basic analysis you can imagine. How to Run a Campaign 101, if that.

I have known a number of Marines. What they tattoo’d on their bodies is the least of my concerns. They’ve all done fucked up shit having been in the USMC.

They’re also the most steadfast and active anti-war and leftist organizers that I have ever known.

Hell, you can go back a century to Smedley Butler. He was not wrong and should not be discounted.

Xcom and Morrowind have high degrees of dicerolling in the gameplay. Progression has a lot to do with controlling or improving your odds. You can have a whole lot of different outcomes based on adapting to each roll.

Souls games usually lack that level of randomness, at least in the calculations phase of gameplay. That’s how you see speedrunners standing still and circling around all these explosions and attacks without repercussions, etc. You either know the steps or you don’t.

Stalker games are a bit different in that they’re FPS games. I think when you can stealth headshot snipe something, the whole dynamic changes. (Which probably also flows into Elder Scrolls a fair bit.)

the Souls games are both Western RPGs

From Software and Hidetaka Miyazaki might disagree.

Cartels serve the function of monopoly. Streaming services, and tech industries in general, are cartels.

Luigi caused a wave of insurance companies to pause killing people for profit for a moment.

Nothing else has ever come close so far.

Old Boy. The 2003 Korean one, at least.

proceeds to pay $100,000 in lawyer fees to fight a $5,000 ticket for dumping.

Can fit an apartment complex through those loading dock doors.

Wandering into spaces just to throw hands is usually the basis for most people getting banned or their comments deleted. The content of their commentary is usually notwithstanding at that point.
