My big issue with AC6 is that the method they EXPECT you to win with is not explained. Stability damage is not explained until AFTER you beat the “tutorial” mission, which is just bad design, and expects you to have played a FromSoft game with that system in it. If you’re like me who’s coming in from Verdict Day WITHOUT having played a Souls game, it’s just a rough fight.
Does this not directly, nakedly violate the sovereignty clause?
Nah, not alcohol - they’ll start with drugs, because that gives them a convenient casus belli to say “Mexico isn’t doing enough to suppress the cartels, so the carpet bombing began 20 minutes ago”.
Actually they’ve been trying to invoke the Comstock Act constantly to force ISPs to block porn sites. This particular rallying cry is something I remember since the late Bush II years.
I got laid off literally less than 20 minutes after I finished everything that needed to be done for that quarter. They told me they were waiting for me to finish, and that they had lied to my face about finding me a new position when they closed up my office.
More specifically, this lets them eavesdrop on phone calls with other world leaders in flight, conversations he might have onboard, and email/cell communication onboard. All of which the Qatari government will be selling to the rest of OPEC, I’m sure.
Watch for more “gifts” like this from EU countries as they try to close the intel gap.
Yup, this is getting donated to his presidential library after he gets out (rather, it’s supposed to).
That being said, what’s the listening devices per square foot on this?
Other dictators and conservative authoritarians, mostly. El Salvador, Rwanda, Russia, Hungary, Belarus maybe.
Unless they’re on their way to a session of Congress (in which case they get to ignore a multitude of vehicular laws), not really LEGALLY. De facto, they’ve been immune from prosecution in a lot of cases (and moreover immune to actual consequences) because congresspeople are, by and large, wealthy, white, and male.
Some white South African landowners are upset that the government is cracking down on land speculation. The government can seize land that’s not being actively utilized under a new law they passed a few years ago.
Basically trying to do the thing Jacobo Arbenz got killed for.
They just did this in Albuquerque. 71 Guard soldiers are there to “assist” police - ostensibly, they’re simply there to “free up” police from the mundanity of things like traffic accidents, wellness checks, etc, so they can “focus on crime”.
Overtly, this is slow-rolling the idea of using armed forces to occupy cities on home soil.
It was Flavor-Aid, a knockoff brand.
Because it was cheaper.
Jones wanted the whole thing to be cheap, because the man was a skinflint. The entire massacre, including the bullets that some people wound up with after refusing to drink, was done for less than $20 adjusted.
Surprisingly, a lot of the white nationalist organs here in the US have VERY intimate contact with white national South African groups. I’m wondering how many of them are coming here to avoid getting caught in government dragnets in SA. Lots of the bombmaking know-how and quite a lot of weapons flowed into South Africa during the fight to keep apartheid from the 60s-90s (and now the fight to either topple the post-apartheid government or create a separatist state where they can institute apartheid), and much of THAT was supplied by contacts in the American KKK. Weird Little Guys did an incredible deep dive on the interlinking of the white nationalist movement internationally with white South African resistance to the ANC and the DeClerc and post-DeClerc governments.
I was gonna say “or like 10 minutes to Falkreath,” but Falkreath has nothing either.
China sure won’t sit by while people are lobbing nukes at countries on their borders.
You forgot the part where he bundled his whole family into a 4hr roadtrip to chainsaw the head off a dead beached whale. Then rode back with the whale head strapped to the roof with the windows down.
It’s actually a worse idea. There will still be, nominally, federal control, centralized in him. Other than that, every local and state FBI branch will act as, effectively, a terror cell - they work their own leads, make their own arrests on their own recognizance, and generally conduct business as they see fit. This makes for an incredibly dangerous form of secret police - they have no leaders above the local level, no real command and control, and they’re all tasked with only one thing: make less crime.
Imagine the Cheka, but they’re organized like al-Qaeda.
If you ever say the words, “we should separate kids from their families as a deterrent”, you should be immediately shunned from society. Your job should fire you. Your colleagues, your family, your friends should all pretend like you do not exist. The entire community where you live should write you out of their lives.
It worked WONDERS for early modern societies.
Not even that. I don’t think there’s a larger political force at work than “we need to make more money and we can pay kids the same wages we paid those immigrants, they won’t know their rights anyway.”
It’s in the frame. Literally they do not have drains in the frame, it’s all solid metal. So the second you get water anywhere in the frame, it’s there forever.
