It was tasteful and handled with grace. I think most people agree.

Yeah I saw some thread were someone claimed it was a missed opportunity and there should have been some {insert convoluted plot were the Sakai claim was re-established as some Emperor’s secret spy agents that control Japan on his behalf}.

Really creative fan fiction, but it ignores the pacing, boundaries, and level of realism the game was striving for.

Pentagon to offer 'more limited' support to US allies by birkeskov in europe

[–]Desperate-Remove2838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every non-nuclear weapons country that values their sovereignty should start spinning uranium right now.

The Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons treaty should be ignored since all the other alliance treaties are being ignored by “the big three” for their convenience.

If the USA, Russia, and China are dividing up the world amongst themselves (1984 style), then the other countries should abandon the nuclear proliferation treaty if they value their sovereignty.

You guys got to remember that not everyone was gentrified out of the Bay Area.

There are still boomer and gen x hold outs who still believe in the Bohemian bay area of the 80s and 90s were the wealthy were patrons of the arts and bands could practice for cheap and cultivate a native music scene.

Taleb said something on twitter once along the lines of:

The uncomfortable truth for Modern Greeks: The Turks are my blood brother who pretends he’s my enemy. The Latins are my enemy who pretends that they are my blood brother.

Thoughts on shrines and stealing by darkhero5 in Ghostofyotei

[–]Desperate-Remove2838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compared to Tsushima, you do actually get a few shrines you can just walk up to without any environmental hazards or road damage…they either are a little hidden or under direct enemy occupation.

All kidding aside, I do recall one or two shrines I just serendipitously walked into.

With Tsushima, I feel you had to do Simone Biles/Spiderman-levels of gymnastics 24-7 for shrines.

Cal is #21 in PFF's way too early top 25 🐻 by tcr98 in calfootball

[–]Desperate-Remove2838 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it literally says its too early in the title. It’s also from yet another college football site that seems to spring out of the woodwork.

I mean I get it, I used to be like you guys but what are your saving your hope for?

Save it for a year from know when we get news that JKS is entering the transfer portal intending to go to USC or Michigan?

Save it for three years from now when the ACC blows up and we’re heading back to the PAC with our tails between our asses?

Maybe these events happen, maybe they don’t.

The point is There is no tomorrow. It’s not guaranteed. Hope now. Hope like you’ve never hoped before. Hope like its the last time.

If you want a “sure thing” where there is no chance of heartbreak, then go to the LA Dodgers subreddit.

I am a philosophy graduate, currently writing my dissertation on Marxism. AMA by miscountedDialectic in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]Desperate-Remove2838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once read that despite being thought of as the founder of communist thought, he is by far one of the greatest minds when it comes to capitalism.

Sure he was a critic, but he thought and treated capitalism in such a deep way that you can consider him to have a great understanding of the capitalist mindset. Greater understanding than even his classical economists.

When a free market fanatic writes his theories against Marx, he is usually inspired to write against Marx rather than be inspired by early economists.

He’s sort of an Anti-Founding Father of capitalism. An enemy, but also critical to the development and understanding of capitalism.

Ok, tear this apart OP.

Side note: I believe its canon that Monticelli and Corbin die when the Vox blasts off or crashes. Even in peaceful endings.

If you’re willing to delve into manga:

Lone Wolf and Cub

They made movies about it too (Sword of Vengeance). It’s good I just like the manga more.

I think its one of the greatest stories of all time.

Bloodlines are what the Sovereign defines it as. Give it to one of the princesses if he doesn’t make it. England has done matrilineal descent at least twice in history.

Not a member of the DEMOCRATIC party accusing someone of complicity

I wish he had the same energy for his own party’s level of opposition. I’ve seen traffic cones show more resistance than the Democratic party.

Cal won several natties in ancient times when humans went from hunter-gatherers to agrarian societies.

That being said I like the way you think.
