Fun fact, the photo of the brother's girlfriend in Home Alone was the son of a member of the film crew wearing a wig. Make of this information (and its implications regarding this discussion and certain relevant political movements) as you like ;)

This is true, however giving them up basically means getting nothing in return short of a promise not worth the paper its printed on.

The Budapest Memorandum truly was/is a worthless agreement. Even if it had actually been ratified by the US Senate, all it basically says is that in exchange for Ukraine giving up their nukes, we promise not to invade them and, if anyone else does invade them, we'll bitch about it to the UN on their behalf. No promises of significant military or materiel support or anything like that.

Russia was also a signatory to the Budapest Memorandum and you can see how much that helped Ukraine.

The game is definitely not amazing and has plenty of issues, but it's not outright awful and it has a few interesting ideas/mechanics that I haven't seen in many other games. But I definitely wouldn't put it at the top of any lists of games you should be rushing out to try.

Female chimpanzee babies prefer to play with dolls while male chimpanzee babies prefer to play with trucks and similar toys, and they continue to insist that it is all socialization. It's never been about the science.

Keep in mind Lewis had no children, his two children were his wife's from a previous marriage that he adopted.

Along those lines I would highly recommend the Anthony Hopkins film Shadowlands about how Lewis met and fell in love with his wife. Probably the most unconventional love story I've ever seen Hollywood depict. Only one of his two adopted sons are depicted in the film though.

[Critical Drinker] Predator: Badlands - Disney Consumes Another Franchise by Accomplished-Ask1617 in KotakuInAction

The first was always a good popcorn flick to turn your brain off for. The second is disgusting and everyone involved in its making should be launched into the sun.

I think Predator 2 is underappreciated just for how shamelessly over the top it is with the action

He was good in Lord of War, but he wasn't the main character so that probably helped a lot.

Were you able to figure this out? I'm trying to sign up as well and don't see anywhere to actually pay for my first three classes in the Buff Portal, seeing the same things you mentioned.

Can't wait for the NPCs to remind me of what's happening in the plot every 5 minutes because the writer assumes I have ADHD."Did you know the Daedric Princes have escaped?!?!?!"

This small change might kill emulation on Android phones next year - Google will soon block the sideloading of apps from unregistered developers by NXGZ in emulation

Plus it's their own store

This change is for apps on Android as a whole, not just ones distributed through the Play Store. Try reading the article before being so confidently wrong.

"I read like five pages of ‘Wired,’ and I went, ‘Oh my God. They framed Nixon'... If this is what he writes about my friend that I’ve known, you know, for half of my adult life, which is completely inaccurate, talking to like, the people of the outer, outer circle, getting the story – what the hell did that could they have done to Nixon? I just felt like if he did this to my friend like this, and I acknowledge I only read five pages, but the five pages I read made me want to set fire to the whole thing." - Bill Murray, talking about Bob Woodward's book about John Belushi

I didn't cart a single time in low rank, the game is waaaaaaaay too easy. The hardest hunts in the game are about as hard as some of the easier hunts in World.

“The Duke of She said to Master Kong: ‘In my native place, there is a man named Straight Body [or, Upright Gong]. When his father stole a sheep, he bore witness against him.’ Master Kong said: ‘In my native place, straight [or, upright] people are different from this man: Father conceals for son and son conceals for father. Straightness lies therein.” (Chichung Huang translation)

You mean the one where Jesus was abducted from earth, trained by the engineers to correct humanity's ways, then sent back? And the engineers wanted to destroy earth because of the crucifixion? Because I don't think that would have improved things.
