The internal struggle of this project is that it's most likely to attract people interested in history, and these are exactly the people who are most likely to spot inconsistencies and dislike the experience. Having said that, it'

I've put the part about Pope Gregory (and St Paul Basilica) at the St Paul basilica in Vatican. Was punished by not putting it in Rome (where by "Rome" the game probably meant "whatever the meaning is in the underlying

I got within 15 years and 200 km but got 7,275 / 10,000. If the expectation is to absolutely nail it, I can hardly imagine who is it for.

But maybe if both sides are using AI bots, then the two bots fall on the same level of authenticity, and then it's not a problem. I have a feeling that shortly it's gonna be all robots talking to robots.

I've read that point, and in my view it contains an obligation to call for a UN Security Council meeting and to seek a certain action by it. The GP said: >> The memorandum also said they would provide assistance The memorandum d

Agreed. Biden however saw Europe as allies; Trump sees them as "free-riders".

No-one is. If that's a hint at Russians, then no: they were on a brink of war throughout the 70s, tensions in the 80s, basically ignored one another since the 90s, however since the start of Ukraine war and both being on the receiving

I don't think this is anywhere remotely likely. The US performs a two-fold security function in Europe: first, it protects Europe from extra-European threats. Second, it protects Europe from intra-European threats. If however the US ex

That's not a good-faith argument, sorry. Please be intellectually honest by attacking the strongest version of Trump you can imagine, not the weakest, brain-dead, reality-detached version of him that's easier for you to attack.

I'm not a military strategist but if one believes that the real power competition in this century is going to be played between the US and China, it would make sense to concentrate on that direction. And if so, Europe becomes a distrac

It sadly does nothing to solve the real geopolitical issue that the US have in this century, namely the rise of China.
376.
by maratc 2y ago
That’s one possibility; a different one is that Trump considers China as the real contender for the US in the 21st century, and wants to pivot the US attention there (and out of Europe.)

I agree, however the unipolar world ceased to exist a while ago. My take on what we are witnessing is that the US finally acknowledges that what has worked in the unipolar world won’t work in the one we have.

You suggest that we interpret "file formats" as exactly this -- no more, no less. This approach is also called "textualism". The other option is to interpret "file formats" in the context of the law that inclu

We can successfully interpret the two words “guinea pig” without it pertaining to either pigs or things coming from Guinea, so I’m sure this is also possible.

Your argument is the same as “Walmart has a $25,000 entry ticket because you can’t access Walmart without a car.”

I have the same thought occasionally, but then never go on as to actually do something. I tried Sublime but it's just not nearly the same level.

I’ll also acknowledge, by elaboration, that there never was a substantiated argument to begin with.

I hope you don't mind if I'll wait for the court verdict on whether it was the same intent or not. Courts usually give more substantiated verdicts with regard to intent when they review all the available evidence, which I assume y

Similar actions can result in different verdicts. For example, an act of firing a gun on one end and having a dead body on the other can result in a whole variety of verdicts, which includes (but not limited to) “terrorism”, “murder”, “kill

To me, the whole affiliate marketing with behind-the-back deals and kickbacks just reeks of corruption. We have made the kickbacks illegal for public servants ... why all the rest are fine? The money that "the creators" and Honey
