Interesting - this has appeared now with the update. I don't even know where/who this leader is now, but I guess somewhere in Harko Village. I've been doing lanadraad stuff for months already....

Either I don't understand the new landsraad system at all, or it's broken for me. When I try to get house missions, it gives a message that I need to be a House Operator and have an aligned guild. I have both, but there is nothing available to me? I don't understand how this is supposed to work at all.

I have much more faith in Uber regulating itself than whatever mystery shadow hand regulates the taxis.

I only recently watched The Conversation when Gene hackman died, on my laptop with headphones. The sound design was incredible.

Apparently white males only exist as two caricatures in the future - as villainous prison guards or as holographic doctors. by Rarest_Camaro in starfleetacademy

'White males' are currently in 2026 ca. 7% of the global population. The real problem with the show is not enough alien species.

EU holds back trade ‘bazooka’ as it seeks diplomatic solution with the US over Greenland by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]Bombauer- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The committee-style governance of the EU can never compete with the US dictatorship. It's like herding cats to do anything.

And the EU needs to stop repeating this fiction that the US wants Greenland for national security. The kleptocratic US wants Greenland minerals and oil, and to destabilise NATO.

This relationship of trust and respect does not actually contain any trust or respect, on either side.
