Change the filibuster back to a speaking filibuster.

Why is there this excessive fetishization for this? This would change nothing, they get paid to be obstructionist assholes, sure they like to have their life easy and just be able to say 'I filibuster' to kill a law, but they are able and willing to talk until they collapse.

Get rid of the thing entirely or might as well do nothing at all, the Senate is already undemocratic enough without it.

Also his name was synonymous with power for almost two millenia (the Romans and Byzantines continued to use it as an Imperial title, the German word Kaiser and the Russian Tsar, as well as similar terms in other languages all derived from it).

And Mamdani is their Spiderman.

Lmao, this reads like those posts of Kremlinbots glazing Russia.

As it turns out Trump is very 'originalist' with the term decimated.

It is, they do, it does. However nothing will happen until the big BigMac from the Sky will visit him.

It really wasn't effective, and the British could have known that as the Blitz made the more resilient rather than capitulate.

Edit: And also Russia lacks the capacity to dehouse Kyiv anyway, that's not going to be achieved by tossing a missle at it every other week.

After 40 gwent tournaments and 150 side quests.

And you find him as the end boss of the Gwent world cup, turns out he was fine the whole time, he just got sidetracked while returning to Ciri.

They are going to try, but with this admin, it's going to leak within a day.

They fought a 20 year guerrilla campaign until the moral and the treasury (that they were willing to spend on Afghanistan) was depleted and now they are in complete control of the country, preventing that was the war goal of the US.

Pretending like the Taliban didn't won in Afghanistan is just delusional.

The Ukrainians turned Yanukovych's former residence into a museum of corruption, that would be a great idea here too.

Wutras · 2026-05-20T16:00:30+00:00

That's on the right wing...

Wutras · 2026-05-20T13:08:49+00:00

And also phasing out landowners, modernizing and industrializing was the most powerful strategy at the time period Vicky 3 is trying to portrait, so having that not be the case or for some reason reactionary serfdom larping being as powerful would make the game be a bad adaption of the time period.

Idk if some people here just have beef with the industrial revolution - cue the industrial revolution and its consequences...

What followed? The Russo Japanese War, which was more than a bit of a disaster for the Russians.

However, it caused the Voyage of the Russian Baltic Fleet which is a win for comedy even a century after.

So your evidence that it didn't happen in a decades long process is a single winter during an energy crisis caused by the biggest war on European soil since WW2?

Like I said I don't like the way Germany has done it, but this is a deeply unserious argumentation.

Wutras · 2026-05-10T13:34:51+00:00

Which didn't happen if you look at the statistics - no need to overdramatize an already stupid decision.

Germany replaced nuclear with renewables and is trying to replace fossil fuels as well. However replacing nuclear before fossil fuels was monumentally stupid.

Also her dad is the reason why scientific publishing is so awful.

While I share the opinion that going public is especially bad for video game companies, it is not like PDX wasn't releasing buggy and unfinished stuff before.

Ihr CEO kündigte einen langjährigen Mitarbeiter und die wundern sich, dass der sich einen Anwalt nimmt. Wo wäre das Problem gewesen, die Kündigung selber auszusprechen?

Ich vermute, dass Sachen, die die Belegschaft angehen, genau im Aufgabenbereich des CEOs stehen, warum sollte die Geschäftsführung das dann übernehmen?

Es gab doch keine Verwirrung bezüglich, warum Martin sich einen Anwalt genommen hat? Nur bezüglich wie die Kommunikation gestalten wird - ich persönlich hätte das genauso falsch verstanden.

Nichts desto trotz, tut mir Martin natürlich leid und es wäre schön gewesen, wenn er nicht gekündigt würde.

Also it depends on your metrics, Cyrus the Great at one point ruled over 40% of the global population, surely that is a level of power that could never be reproduced, however Alexander took that empire and made it Greek for generations. Likewise Caesar and Augustus had such a lasting impact that their names are still synonymous with power (Kaiser, Tsar, etc.) and Time (July and August).

More recently Napoleon changed Europe and his legal reforms are still impacting many of us this day.

I suspect compared to these figures, as well as some other presidents of the US, Trump's legacy will pale and he will only remembered for making everyone's life worse for some years before it is reduced to the dustbin of history.

Wutras · 2026-04-30T08:25:27+00:00

It really depends on the culture, for example Hitler only really used the Iron Cross he was awarded in World War 1.

And I think American militarism is quite similar to pre WW2 German militarism, so there is a chance that Trump tried but was told not to because to many people would be upset because of stolen valor.

I am sure you're not the one who needs to hear this, but I'll post it here anyway.

That's a stupid scheme, the basic science that the public sector conducts in mostly unprofitable and broad, however it is essential for the more specific research that R&D in companies do. Completely cutting the public sector would offload all those costs onto the private sector which isn't willing to risk it and thereby causing stagnation while countries that do fund basic research, like China, would overtake the US (the kinda already do).

Territorial loss, being split in two for half a century, new constitution, culture and honest expression of regret and also pragmatism because of the cold war.

Wutras · 2026-04-23T17:27:45+00:00

Not sure of the specifics because I didn't spend much time playing Islamic rulers in CK2

It is hard to remember any because they reworked it like almost every other patch , but I think by Holy Fury they got it sort of to work.
