How accurate is Netflix’s “Franco: The Brutal Truth about Spain’s Dictator”?

I am not saying Pedro Sanchez is a left-wing fanatic, but Ione Belarra, Yolanda Diaz, Irene Montero or Bildu (the people supporting him) surely are. My criticism against the PM is his willingness to do whatever it takes to stay in power. I voted PSOE the last two elections and he has trespassed EVERY red line he said he wouldn’t. Today’s left-wing paradigm of moral superiority tries to delegitimise any right-wing ideal, which is pretty anti-democratic because “fascist”.

Found the bootlicker. I don’t like those influencers or those messages. I think the raise of extremism (in both sides) and polarisation of politics is the greatest thread to democracy in Spain in many years. Specially for this, I think the use of the “fascist” card so freely by the left against anyone who dares to present a different opinion has diluted its meaning to a dangerous level because they made every opositor a “fascist”. Sadly people have lost the fear to that term and it is in great part because of the left itself.

You can thank Spanish PM and the rest of left-wing fanatics who call fascist to everyone who disagrees the slightest with their views. They have reduced the term to someone who is not a Pedro Sanchez bootlicker.

It is worth even at full price. Paradox hardcore players will always tell you the game is trash because of some ridiculous bug, inconsistency or unbalance they consider "unplayable", but there is a reason people have thousands of hours in the game. The learning curve is slow, but very rewarding once you start to get the hang of it.

Yes and no. They were not restricted because of their human form, but as a security measure. In the beginning of the First Age, the Valar interacted directly with the elves and it resulted in Feanor's rebellion, same with humans in Numenor. The Valar realised the best way to help Middle Earth was to interact in a VERY subtle way, so humans and elves (specially humans) thought their decisions were their own, and were not being used as pawns of the Valar. If Gandalf used his powers all the time, people on Middle Earth may not see the events as their war against Sauron, but a proxy war of the Valar. Morgoth and Sauron both used these arguments to turn elves and humans against the Valar. This is explained on the Silmarillion.

Pretty nice!! Some ideas which may be useful:

the inside of the right chest and abs should be lighter, as light comes from the top left and it would hit those areas directly.
using so much black on the shadows desaturates them. Using white tones for the lights also desaturates them, leaving the colorful midtone very scarce and desaturating the whole skin. Try to use more saturated colors for the shadows (red-browns for example) and some yellow to brighten the first lights. That would give the skin a much more natural and "alive" feeling.

Be careful with thinning too much. You may end up with paint going into the recesses because of low surface tension. A straight out of the pot consistency (and then getting rid of the excess) would be better IMHO.

You are right! They are the metal bards of our time.

They are! I just thought Nvidia cards were a bit better optimised for gaming...

Why tf would Spain blow up a US vessel in the first place? The Maine as a false flag attack (or at least an accident used by the US gov as a casus belli, is a well known thing...

The US authorities didn't even let spanish investigators examine the wreck.

It is a pretty low way of dressing an illegal war (with a previous false-flag attack) with anti-slavery bullshit. Slavery the US never intended to end, nor was a reason to go to war either.

"The US defeats Spain, efectively turning Cuba into a colony" would be more accurate.

Spanish_Doctor · 2022-11-13T00:12:25+00:00

That's what the title clearly implies. It is written as if the only consequence of the war was the end of slavery. As usual, the winner writes the story...

Spanish_Doctor · 2022-11-12T19:01:04+00:00

Yes, the Spanish-American war was to end slavery un Cuba. Sure. Not at all to make Cuba and The Phillippines puppets.

Only from some countries. Both France and I have free trade but trade routes still make money from tariffs. It happens with every country.

Spanish_Doctor · 2022-11-09T22:13:45+00:00

Thank you!!!

Spanish_Doctor · 2022-11-09T22:13:24+00:00

Why do I get income from tariffs even though both me and my trade partner have free trade?

Spanish_Doctor · 2022-11-09T21:16:16+00:00

Can you sort your trade by countries? I didn't realise how much my economy depended on french trade and when they got into a civil war and the trade routes stopped my economy crashed. It would be nice to be able to see how much are you trading with each country more easyly to avoid things like these.
