Funny how “your money or your life” is just a regular business negotiation in some contexts.

For what it is worth USA did require a purge before entering the bold civil oppression phase.

And most administrative people on the political side just continued to rule. There are plenty of German politicians today those parents or mentors were prominent collaborators.

If this goes historically barely anyone in power will be held responsible.

Note that Japan already traded with the Nordics quite extensively, including some more traditional fish options, and the parasite-free salmon was promoted on top of a well-established trade that Norway wanted to expand with a fish they produced in abundance.

It’s still a Microsoft property, probably posted a PS5 trailer to press that this one is on Playstation too.

A true tankie doesn’t sow division among the proletariat.

You vote people in for terms. And Netanyahu has done nothing all his voters didn’t already know he would probably do, what he promised to do, what he is doing is why he was voted in. Regret does not excuse Israel for gleefully electing the fascist multiple times.

And a lot of them are just probably disappointed about the protracted war instead of the swift genocide of infidels they hoped for.

Yes, Trump is what Americans wanted.

Netanyahu is a democratically elected representative, elected multiple times, who is doing exactly what he always advertised.

Netanyahu therefore does stand for the collective will of Israel.

Don’t forget the few “lucky” people doing the most disagreeable of jobs because they’re still hard to automate and the starving population provides a cheap desperate pool of labour to do even the most dangerous and unhealthy jobs for a pittance.

Putin is an intelligence operative, it does not seems unlikely that a country headed by one for decades would do well clandestine operations and falter in war.

American oligarchs are also greedy, base and overall pretty stupid so I think you overestimate the challenge of manipulating them.

? Obi-Wan cries for the whole exchange they have and then turns away before he collapses because his job isn’t done yet.

Anime was already doing laps around Disney by their animation reneissance, hell the Disney reneissance was kickstarted by shameless copying from anime.

Rarely even happens in-universe.

Kias just a few years ago were copies of late 90s cars at a price reflecting that and low complexity making them efficient to maintain. Take a Kia now, it’s just as expensive as everything else and will be scrapped in 8 years when one of the $2000 proprietary led assemblies fails.

I don’t think I even got that far. I remember it being quite off almost immediately, I was already giving it a chance and it just did not get better.

Thing is, if something is omnipotent it has chosen to be evil if evil exists. That is why if you assume omnipotence everything is an irrelevant detail. Whether they’ve chosen to become omniscient or omnibenevolent, and omnipotent being is responsible for all evil anyway. So if either is true doesn’t matter any omnipotent God would be evil as long as evil exists.

An omnipotent being can do anything logically possible. There is nothing preventing them from thinking "I wish I was omniscient or I wish I was omnibenevolent, and so it would be. An omnipotent but not omniscient being is simply specifically avoiding becoming omniscient.

And of course, anything that is not omniscient knows they are not.

Why? Are you satisfied by simple window dressing?

I remember trying this series out in my teens, having already gone trough quite a few, and I remember it being the first book I just dropped under a half trough, but I couldn’t remember why until know. I just remembered it as shallow and depressing to read.
