You may always start humbly with some M maps on 200% difficulty. Then the only actual rule is "don't run away without admitting defeat in a ranked game". For people who only played HoMM3 20 years ago, Duel type maps may be a

One of issues about WWI was German ressentment towards having so few colonies. If on these maps Africa, India and Americas would look larger, of course they will be super eager to start WWI and get their piece of now-visibly-even-bigger pie

I'm just amazed how, with enough money invested into propaganda of economic liberalism (still a paltry sum in the grand order of things), you can have smart people around the world repeating your mantras without noticing for decades

Just use these cereal that say "Contents: corn" with no sugar. I believe that some Kellog's qualified, but that could be some time ago. Bingo: They will have some sugars, but these are natural corn sugars which would absorbed

I think it's good enough if it's less sugary than apples. I see the typical American quest to eradicate (fats, then cholesterol, and now sugar) annoying.

Sugarless Kellogs with whole milk are super healthy and also very tasty. Unfortunatelt people end up eating junk such as frosty flakes with some milk substitute.

So it's not OK for you watching how Gaddafi vanquishes rebels, but it is totally OK for you to watch rebels getting rid of Gaddafi, and aiding them to do so. Shows the involvement clearly.

Then stop toppling governments[1]. Where you can't do anything, you do not need to want anything. 1. Perhaps one can say that this is already done, since we do not hear of any recent examples. Still, this was not very far back.

I hope that you understand that bombing Lybia, supplying rebels with weapons and then making them kill Gaddafi is a direct opposite of a cease fire ? Or do you believe that a cease fire is when the other side ceases firing so you can get a

EU/US has supported a rebellion in Lybia (equals created a rebellion in Lybia) and then used direct military force to topple Lybian regime. I'm not even sure who administered the city which was crushed by the flood in 2023 consi

There are Russians who do just that, and not an insignificant number, but certainly not enough to affect things. They also do not have any plan even if they wanted to try.

Russia is an authoritarian state. "Hallmarks of democracy" do not work here and likely never did. Meduza and their ilk publishes the same uncomfortable truth tailored at comparatively small demographics. They fail to deliver their

People will stop listening real soon. You will keep the audience who already agree with you, and often bet on that agreement (for example, by fleeing the country). You will, however, lose the rest of your potential audience by repeating you

This is the actual reason why people treat Meduza as parent poster does. The job of a news source it not to criticize, or not criticize, the annexation of Crimea. They're not a political party. Nobody but their mom really wants to know

That rail would be nice to have, but it will not yield a decisive difference on the global warming time frame (~20 years). You could go the Soviet route (had 30 cars per 1,000 people, a lot of train, bus and subway), but do you really want
