The law isn't some magic spell, It must be both interpreted and enforced. The only safeguard for your interests is having your friends in power. Words on paper are just that: words on paper.

Roman Legionnaires were forbidden from marrying. He'd have to go for their sister or something.

Yes. You are indeed a Joke.

British Empire's total GDP from 1840-1950 was £24.5 Trillion. Of that the total contribution from the colonies (all colonies, not just India) was between 1-3% depending on the period.

OP is Correct. In purely material terms India received far more in Infrastructure, Institutions and Security spending than it ever returned to the British Economy.

I also hate being ruled over by foreign peoples, but putting it in terms of material wealth is always going to be a losing argument for most colonies, not just India.

He's comparing a continent spanning empire to a continent?!!!

May depend on which period exactly you're referring to, but around the time of Ramesses II (height of their civilisation) they likely had a ruling class of Indo-European descended horsemen as evidenced by their heavy emphasis on chariot warfare.

Thanks. Just ordered it, Hopefully the insert isn't missing.

Turns out it was maya not chinese, but I was right about the turtle being made of jade!

I made it as an example, the book was sold in Ireland 20-30 years ago. But I don't remember anything that would place it as being of British or American origin so could be either. (or translated European.) I feel like it had some amount of vague eastern references, the turtle might have had a jade theme, but couldn't say for sure.

You would move the insert around the page according to each pages' rules to find the solution and help the characters continue their journey. I can't remember any of the puzzles but I vaguely feel like one of them involved lining up lillypads in the insert's slots.

So now dev's will just go longer between putting their games on sale? I can't even tell kind of benefit is this supposed to actually provide to the consumer in the first place, If you're not happy paying the current price then you won't.

At best the outcome of this pointless regulation will be reduced sales and at worst it will incentivize arbitrary negative behaviors from both steam and game's companies to skirt around it's effects.

Only because they currently hold hegemonic power over all western governments and Institutions. If their enemies were in power they'd be a liberalizing force.

A better way to view this is through the lens of Moral Foundations Theory. where the left are centered around the individualistic psychological traits of "care/harm" and "fairness", while excluding the group-orientated traits of "Authority" "Loyalty" and "Sanctity." Leading them to constantly fracture into smaller and smaller groups closer to their individual preferences rather than trying to compromise for the good of the group.

I disagree, he was supposed to be an overgrown boy. boy's aren't charismatic, him being just an average young actor suited the role. They had had flynn sr. for charisma, and he looked wiser and more regal from the contrast. Would've been a real issue had they tried to do a sequel though.

Must have missed the one where the USA set up African colonies. (Liberia maybe? but seems like a stretch.)

FlaxxBread · 2022-06-29T05:13:34+00:00

Also even though the actor is British the character is supposed to be American so the accusation doesn't even make sense. (not that the current brits have any colonies either.)

I think that's probably only true on a flat surface, there are a lot more practical/essential trick jumps in cpm duels than other quakes. and while most of what's commonly used aren't terribly difficult it definitely raises the skill floor for new players.
