What I don't get as an outsider - this guy (like other equally weird persons as for example Mrs. Palin) is in a rather high political position.

How in the world are these people elected? Is it only about being in the preferred party or were their opponents even more incompetent?

He basically forgot about the winner, has to be reminded and years later the guy received something that was way off from what was promised.

You can find a much better and more accurate description by searching, but maybe that's good enough.

This strategy might have only worked with the destruction of cities by nuclear weapons in Japan.

The resolve of the German population was not broken by the bombing of civilians. If they wouldn't have hit the military production capabilities and invaded with ground forces the war would have dragged on much longer (and Germany lacked vital resources in their territory, unlike Russia).

So even if your suggestion to bomb the civilians wouldn't be quite reprehensible by itself, it's extremely unlikely that this would end the war on it's own.

Just look at the numbers of soldiers Russia has lost, this didn't seem to faze the support of the general population so far either (families and friends if those who died it who were severely injured).

Totally agree. Just finished it. My SO and I had a blast playing it - highly recommended!

That cop has a tattoo that's considered a recognition symbol of right extremists on his arm and was still hired several times.

I guess the damage is done and once there is an actual smart guy without conscience and morals it'll get really ugly for democracy in the US.

While that article has some good, relatable points, Vance still managed to be elected, so there are a lot of people that won't be swayed by this at all. Maybe some of the Democratic voters that didn't vote last time will take this as an incentive to go vote.

You also have the option to give up newborns at hospital sites anonymously and safely without any fear of persecution. I would have expected that you would know such a thing if you're smart enough to become a lawyer, this was anything but a rational decision.

Give Victorious Dino Gods from Victorius a listen for a metal interpretation

The main problem with all the alternatives is for me (as a hobby photographer) the lack of models on these platforms. When looking for models, I find them on Instagram and no other platform. As with WhatsApp the majority of "normal" people have decided to use that, so if I'm telling them to contact me on Signal, they shy away from that (and stillI I refuse to use it as much as possible).

So looking at Signal, it's free and very, very close to WhatsApp and yet still people don't want to use that. Getting them to use pixel fed would be much, much harder.
