All law assumes single or married with one spouse. If we want to change that, we need a new framework.

Europeans just wallowing in their chauvinistic ignorance of US politics. You can just learn. There are reasons for all of it.

Alisson Jannyey makes for a very unhinged and brutal President, in The Diplomat, but I struggle to understand exactly how she's wrong.

Why am I suddenly inundated with tankies living their comfortable lives and their stupid anti-life propaganda?

But turkey isn't available to africa in the scenario. It's part of Europe 1939.

The scenario is Africa and Only Africa vs Every Country on the second image (and only those), which includes USSR and Turkey from 1939. There is no outside assistance to either party of any kind.

I like the 1939 europe vs 2026 africa discourse. Makes me remember the Ring of Fire series.

I'm sure I'm late to the psrty, I'm almost 50, but why do girls go to the gay whorehouse to do the gay for pay guys? There are straight whorehouses where they can find straight for pay guys. Wtaf?

I looked at all the S-tier builds for season 40 and the only one that isn't a pain in the ass is always on top, and gets next to no benefit from sanctified items. Trag'oul Death Nova.

Just watched Disclosure again. It is my favorite narrarive style. Bombastic A plot hiding what the movie is actually about in its shadow. Sexual harrassment as smokescreen.

Well if they can’t de-escalate the situation, why not just give her a warning and a court date? There’s no need to shoot her.

In Eternity by Greg Bear, Olmy considers an algorithm which allows any program to understand the bounds of its own environment, which is later used by the Jart to exploit all of his implant logic and take full control of him. This is close to where we are right now in our AI war.
