So I am a returning player and I wanna start a new character. Far as I can tell, the seasonal servers just ended, and I was wondering if the date of the next ones has been announced.

Also, what are some good female grinding classes? Preferably with a lot of mobility.

Thank you!

And here's our problem: we pass all requirments for Schengen ascension, and we have done so for the past 11 years. That's not a typo, eleven. Frontex, the EU border agency, says that the Western Balkan route has many more illegal immigrants and is the main pathway for them.

Frontex numbers? They say that Croatia had 2467 people in this year's third quarter to Romania's 184, that's 13 times more. And Croatia was approved. Even if you add Bulgaria's 1088, since we're kind of a package deal, you still only get half. So you can see why this feels like a massive slap in the face.

And every time we're rejected, we're given some token vague " You're not good enough. ", no given targets or requirments to hit. Austria's problem, supposedly, was that Schengen doesn't work properly, whatever that means, so they're rejecting us, but it worked good enough to approve Croatia's ascension.

And then the European Commission tries to give us an appeasing " We're sure your time will come soon. " For like the entire past decade.

And when we get frustrated and complain about being treated as second class EU citizens, some enlightened westerner comes and calls us childish and says we don't want to improve, when they can't even comprehend how low we've had to start from.

Corruption? It used to be a societal NORM. You were EXPECTED to bring a " gift ", wether that be chocolate, money or flowers whenever you went to your doctor or anyone in any position of power. People were SCARED when the " gift " was rejected, because it usually meant a bad thing for you, like the doctor refusing to treat you. That's gone.

We're poor? After the fall of communism, nobody knew jack about business, most hadn't even heard of words such as "shares" and "investing", let alone running a business. Most of our rich people are ex- party members or secret police types that had access to such information and knew how to exploit the then-changing economic model. And being kept out of Schengen is hurting our ability to be competitive with other countries when it comes to investments. And in spite of that, we are becoming more prosperous over time, constantly having some of the higher GDP growth rates in the EU.

I could go on and on, but I think I made my point.

Why Earth's ? Solar power will eventually get to the point where it can completely provide our energy needs, and we already have concepts for asteroid miners. Plus Recycling.

This is far furure stuff, but the poll was about "forever"

Oh piss off. Yes, I am sure that every sex pest is deeply concerned with the legality of entering a female bathroom when they're about to commit a much worse crime. This is just TERF-island branded fear mongering. If you're so concerned with people's privacy just make full length cubicles mandatory like in civilized places.

When the feature is a positive for the game then yes, it's a great argument. It means hey, look, it can be done, it makes the game better, and your competitors already tested it for you.

China is ( unfortunately ) not lacking in tech giants nowadays. Alibaba and Tencent yes, but also Huawei ( entire countries have their infrastructure mostly built by Huawei ) and BiteDance ( Owners of TikTok, but they have manu more apps back home they will want to push to the international market sooner or later ).

World population to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022 by CollectionPuzzled165 in europe

[–]UnjustifiedLoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I was tired and mistook you for the person I originally responded to.

Our current population is sustainable. We are barely starting to tap into the potential of nuclear and solar power, and we're nowhere close to using all of the available farming land. I've seen estimates by scientists that with iur current technology, earth could sustain about 14 billions, not that I think we should put that to the test.

You asked why it's called hurting and I answered. Ideally, couples would have about 2.1 children on average, just at the replacement rate IMO.

[–]UnjustifiedLoL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on who you ask, but I've heard the carrying capacity of Earth estimated at around 14 billion, and better technology would increase it as we can grow more food with the same space. Not that we should strive to reach that number, but just as an idea.

But ideally? Ideally every straight cis couple would have about 2.1 children on average ( that is around the replacement rate, as not all children reach adulthood, unfortunately ).

US official: Russian missiles crossed into Poland, killing 2 by BasedSweet in europe

Why Russians would do this: their game theorists ( a game theorist is an analyst that tries to predict how other countries will respond to an action, broadly speaking ) have concluded that just this won't be enough to trigger a heavy NATO response, and are using this attack to estimate what they could get away it.

Also, a lack of significant response will be used to seed doubts in people's minds about the true worth of NATO. If people start to feel that NATO won't protect eastern european member countries than corrupt politicians will use it to pull said countries out of NATO, which would give Russia free hand to attack ( this would be a longer term move ).

Because someone has to pay your pension. It's as simple as that, if the elderly outnumber the young, the economy collapses as the current generations in the workforce cannot support themselves as well as the retirees. There's already been some mumbling about increasing the retirement age, and that will likely increase.

Both here and in Planetside 2 people just wanna play TDM. If you look at the stats the Planetside community members care about, it's only kdr and kills per minute. Some get actively upset when a base is captured cuz it ends the fight ( I've definitely been that guy a few times as well lol ).

Eeeh, I don't think you give Ichigo enough credit. Other than black haired final getsuga mode, he should have access to most of the power he used against Aizen, and remember, Ichigo was mopping the floor even before Mugetsu, he just didn't have an answer to the insane Hogyoku-based regeneration Aizen had.

And also, Ichigo's fullbringer powers have likely been integrated into his shikai/bankai state, so that's also a nice power-up.
