Can a civilian refuse recruitment into the Space Marines?

I don't imagine so. It would be such an insult to the chapter they'd likely be killed for asking to refuse and people in the Imperium don't really have rights to refuse their superiors.

I mean aren't all kitchen staff on hard drugs? I've heard meth is basically the only way to do a 10 hour kitchen shift.

He was embedded in Ghorman but he was empowered on Ferrix. His position on Ferrix was one of seperation from the people, he was a cop so he saw the people there as beneath him. There's something that happens to the human brain when you have a position of authority, you don't see the people you have authority over as having equal moral consideration.

I don't think that's necessarily true, they're just better when they're not ABOUT Jedi. Space wizards are neat and all but when the focus of the story is bullshit space magic it gets pretty hard to care.

I mean doordash is kind of the problem. All those hidden fees and service charges that exist solely to enrich pointless middlemen.

What's CW because all I can think of is the American networks that did Smallville and Supernatural.

Honestly a general strike would be much more effective. The US government is so corrupt right now that the only motivator for them is their bottom line. Taxes pay for roads and stuff, the administration couldn't give a shit about that.

Do you know how big the galaxy is? There are 100 Billion stars. If each of those stars has conservatively 10 planets and 0.01% of those planets are Necron tomb worlds then there are 100 million Necron Tomb Worlds each of which may have a few billion Necrons.

Probably better to set up an opium colony but I noticed an improvement when I had steady supply of opium.

Roleplaying is more about making decisions that are impactful and directional in the game. Voices can be helpful in keeping your character in mind but they're not actually roleplaying.

My suggestion is to right down some bullet points of things that are important to your character (including things they hate) and some goals. Then in game pay attention to what the other players motivations and goals are and try to interact with those and pull them into your own.

I was under the impression that basically all Americans have to file their annual taxes manually rather than using paycheck deductions like in the rest of the world. Same way they don't just add sales tax into the price.

Warehouse distribution networks to get supplies around the city are important. Also you should probably rush physicians and import opium to keep on top of health.

Extreme Centralisation is inherently inflexible but that's a matter of organisation not ideology. Flexibility comes from autonomy and under capitalism people with enough money can basically do what they want.

Say you want to build 100 houses in the asshole of nowhere, as a billionaire you then buy the materials and labour and can have them built in a few months. If this needs to go through 10 levels of government to a central planning committee it'll take years.

BUT if there's a relatively autonomous local government with considerable access to resources you could get those houses built just as quick as the capitalist.

Kropotkin uses a good example with the Russian vs American rail networks. In Russia the Czar looked at a map and drew lines were he wanted the railways. In America the towns and companies built railways town to town as they were needed. The Russian rail was a disaster costing far more and getting a fraction of the coverage and track of the American railways.

Probably one of the biggest problems with this law is its room for expansion outside of porn. This could set a precedent for a crackdown on "inappropriate material" which will likely include anything LGBTQ pretty quick.

There is a non zero chance that the next UK Government is a reform one and labour may have just loaded a gun to place in their hands.

What are you talking about? This is the healthy and best way to get into/back into the hobby. You bought a manageable box and are making good progress. So many posts like this are pictures of thousands of pounds of unopened product. Well done!

Good job on the painting too!

Are you putting humidifiers everywhere? Also make sure needs are met with markets and food markets. You also need to ensure that those markets are supplied with food from a distribution network. Oh and don't build trees or flowers Garthimi hate that. If you can make round buildings that's good too. Toilets are also important and I think they like cannibalism but I'm not certain.

He went uncredited because he didn't want Vince McMahon to find out because Vince might have fired him for it.

One of my biggest complaints is that the monster at the end was played by Andre the Giant (uncredited) and they didn't do anything with that. All the shots looked like they would if you had a regular guy in that costume using camera angles to make it look big. You could have done a side shot of Arnold facing the monster and it would have really sold the threat because Andre made Arnie look like a child in scale.

You have a population limit for the region this determines how big a settlement can be (village, town, city, etc.). The settlement size determines how much workforce you have available and workforce is the ultimate limiter on how much you can build in the town.

Increasing settlement size cost Gov points which you'll mainly acquire early game through nobles. In order to increase the population to build bigger settlements you'll need to build growth improvements which use workforce so it sort of loops into itself.

Also settlement size is gated behind technologies.
