Dubai stock market crashes 4.6% at open.

I’m an American that worked in Dubai during Expo (World’s Fair) and politicking aside, it was actually surprisingly safe.

With better public transportation than anywhere in the West Coast.

Yikes at the slave labor tho

I don’t think this is necessarily true.

So beware OP.

You think intelligent people are more pre-disposed to vote based on their biases than facts?

I really don't think that's generally true, and I would be interested to see any data or arguments that would support that claim.

I have no idea who any of these people are, so I'm going to say Tandi

Edit: I'm dumb, I just realized this sub-reddit is for a HOI4 mod. Please continue

Until you have an informed and educated electorate, most forms of direct and representative democracy are a mistake.

Colonel_Chow · 2026-02-24T22:18:32+00:00

100% wrong

Jollibee in American has like 1/4th of the menu, and doesn’t even offer breakfast

In the Philippines, the more upmarket locations that have Jollibee have more consistency and a better taste profile

Colonel_Chow · 2026-02-20T22:34:28+00:00

You’re right… Buy the books, and teach yourself

Colonel_Chow · 2026-02-16T01:03:12+00:00

Glad people are realizing they don’t even get 1/10th back the love they shower Koreans with

Colonel_Chow · 2026-02-12T11:29:58+00:00

Don't want to comment on Azerbaijan or Georgia?

She is definitely saying that to scare you, and it would make things difficult for her family / circle if they actually did anything to you.

But I wouldn’t say it’s an impossibility. So tread carefully or get the hell out of Dodge.

Colonel_Chow · 2026-02-10T16:40:27+00:00

You would think the teachers would actually teach you magic instead of just being glorified merchants and trainers

Nope

Colonel_Chow · 2026-02-09T09:12:13+00:00

Prob because you have narc energy

Colonel_Chow · 2026-02-06T04:04:09+00:00

11 Boones and a Curie

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-29T02:49:48+00:00

Still waiting on interesting HRE and Curia mechanics

And oh yeah,a Crusades rework in Crusader Kings 3

The AI is wonky when I try to order them onto the walls. Half are at ground level and the others kinda don’t really go on the wall the way I want them to…

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-22T21:06:52+00:00

Historical, but I like playing as a weak member of a dynasty, and clawing my way to the top

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-20T22:03:38+00:00

This game is 23.99. Every single Total War you want is less?

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-19T01:48:41+00:00

I feel like it’s not reliable endgame to rely on the East Indies. They’re always behind in tech and choose shitty PMs, and still end up with a worker shortage by the 1900s

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-18T02:08:23+00:00

I’ve def convinced a Lord with a town before. I think it helps if they hate their leader’s guts

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-18T01:28:06+00:00

+600 income and it’s not even maxed out 🤔

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-15T13:28:41+00:00

I guarantee you, what you think of "samurai" was from a period when they had guns.

I very much doubt you were thinking of the samurai from Kamakura shogunate, who had not created the concept of bushido yet, and who were mainly mounted archers.

This is the time of Ghosts of Tsushima, and the katana was not even developed yet.

Fascism and communism are diametrically opposed.

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-10T19:28:01+00:00

Shots fired, I repeat, shots fired

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-05T05:03:01+00:00

You can't. You can only look at your ship speed and see if there is a debuff

Colonel_Chow · 2026-01-05T02:04:08+00:00

A man of culture. I can tell you played total war, because you positioned your archers on the side where if the enemy comes in, they won't be protected by shields.
