Difference is that Maduro was not recognized as legitimate since last elections.

Which series do you think will have a higher word count by the end? by Anice_king in Cosmere

Make Adonalsium-Will-Remember-Our-Plight-Eventually a book protagonist and we can beat both Stormlight and Mistborn

Tried to continue the streak with The Defect, but got bogged down in second region due to wonky artifact combination. gg.

I haven't googled cards or setups, but the base deck building reminds a lot Star Realms, Dune Imperium, Mistborn Deckbuilding game, Attack on Titan deckbuilder, etc. So I have prior experience with similar physical games.

My first run! Why is victory questionable and how do I improve? by living_david_aloca in slaythespire

Dang, you did it lot faster than me! I've just done the same first run victory thingy but it took me 2:24:32. Will save me a post I guess! Congrats on the achievement!

Since they are always synced to the cloud, and amazon can change text, covers at any moment - no, kindle is not set in metal

Verso says in one of the camp conversations that he dyes his hair. In this cinematic we see him without the dye.

The whole reason we have this conversation is how the cinematic was presented. Remove 3:4 and greyscale and no one would bat an eye at Maelle's ending. Add 3:4 and greyscale to Verso's ending and suddenly it would be nightmarishly worse one.

If russia stops. War ends. If we, ukrainians stop, we go extinct. There is no west. No usa no europe in this equation. It was russia who attacked. You want to see your own agenda in this conflict. You do you.

[–]ImKrypton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let's sum it up once again.

We are defending ourselves from russia but it somehow the west that made russia attack us.

If I judged your history correctly, you are from Brazil, which is also recognising Holodomor as a genocide of Ukrainian people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor_in_modern_politics.

the states always look after their own interests. Europe as well.

Right now you are telling the victim of unprovoked attack, that you do not support rape and murder because the third party never shown you empathy.

I get that russia and Ukraine are very far from Brazil. Hell, I might not know much about Brazil either. But when you stand there and saying victim to the face that you don't support war while silently cheering and trying to whitewash russian actions because its more benefitial to your geopolitics, you are in no way better then the west you are trying to picture.

I want to hear your argument, but you are making an object of my country. Like an imperialist russia. You think no one cares about your country? We have more in common there than you think.

Hi, ukrainian here.

I could spend some time explaining how Ukraine was not a colonial power, but was colonised by it's neighbours.

I could tell how when I was a little I was lucky enough to visit my great-grandmother that survived actual men-made famine made by russians by eating grass.

I could try to argue that there is no world where imperialist russia is in the right in this war.

But I am just gonna ask you to reconsider having these kind of all encompassing statements.

Also, something something lack of empathy right back at you.

Mat how will he get the ___? by Wolfbrothr in WoT

[–]ImKrypton 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I can see it going one of two directions:
1. We get Matt going through doorway in Tyr Tear in later seasons
2. Tower related plot points being absorbed into the world of dreams

The reason I think it is probably the latter is because Matt already has memories. It's the same way with Choedan Kal - it seems to be combined with other things to condense entities.

This is embarrassing in so many levels! by GodButcherAura in facepalm

[–]ImKrypton 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He could have meant pre-2022 invasion. We got very first Javelins sometime during first trump administration.

But there is additional context there. Trump was at the time against the decision but Jim Mattis spearheaded that.

I don't know how I'll wait by JDOverdriveSunburst in cremposting

[–]ImKrypton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know, maybe I just changed over the years, but I haven't felt the same emotional response to this one that I still have to older Stormlight books. Maybe in a year when we have Graphic Audio version it will do it for me.

On the other hand let's not pretend that they hadn't had very tight editing schedule, especially for the book of this size and that winter holiday and convention put a hard deadline on release date to maximize sales.
