This article serves the purpose of trying to preemptively deflect the possibility of comparing ICE to Israel, but rather to project against groups US and Israel fights.

I find oolong's taste too complex and rich to be drinking too much all the time, it is less of a fixture compared to black and green tea.

Putting a gigantic dunce cap on a data center to make us feel bad about being mean to it.

Taking that much land inland is truly against the spirit of the nation of Venice.

I don't think there is any hypocrisy between straddling Byzantium with debt and representing their misfortunes at the time like the Earthquake in Gallipoli or repeated civil wars with events so you have to react to them and navigate them within game mechanics and the game rewarding you doing exact same steps in exact same order with rewards that bypass game mechanics and give you bunch of free stuff so you can take everything easily once you survive the first few years.

Besides Byzantium is favorite country if every deus vulting GSG fan so they get the first DLC anyway above and before many other countries and regions both ascendant and troubled at this time so complaining about them specifically is silly too. We will likely see them given silly amount of momentum for recovery that they compete with Ottomans on expansion into Balkans and Anatolia soon enough.

That's right little Byzantium you are in Ottoman country now, enjoy the earthquakes.

Would you have more fun if there were no obstacles?

This estimation is based on nominal GDP per capita, Turkey currently has higher GDP per capita than Malaysia but these economic predictions that extend further than 5 years are either alarmist or smug with no real basis since they barely ever do anything but extend current trends over standard models. Likely nobody was predicting in 2007 that UK would fall so far behind US in terms of GDP per capita by 2030.

Sure! I didn't because it was not a podcast about this topic specifically but just that episode. It was specifically this episode and it is available on spotify. Gist of it is that they are cutting grants, disallowing student mobility and weaponizing funding to force particular ideologies in the curriculum.

I had listened to an American professor from University of Chicago talking about the manner and magnitude of which the US government is currently outright undermining entire research of American universities in a podcast. It really sounded grim and unprecedented, for narrowest of ideological brain rot too about wokeness and Israel mainly. It is especially funny and ironic in light of all the fearmongering about how "The Left" is preventing science too.

It's interesting how a derogatory term like lunatic was actually less judgmental in its original inception since it implied a common human condition rather than implying an essential character of a person.

You can never forget the one who got away.
