Please man, you must realize just how speculative so much of that Buzzfeed article is? Surely? They're drawing incidental information and context clues and past actions and drawing it together to create links to Russia's central government in a way that is about as well supported as would be...

Games like HOI4 sell in Germany, you just can't put in Nazi symbols and I think SS? You'd know better. Hitler himself minus the regalia is left out because it's Hitler and people are pussies, not due to legalities.

On my cleric I would get CONSTANT buff and rez requests from out of fucking nowhere. It would drive me nuts because the people usually weren't in range for buffs or even in zone if asking for rez. Trying to tell someone you won't go to them and buff them makes you an elitist asshole. Refusing to...

That would create rather awesome uniforms, since Al Nusra soldiers would look like Nascar drivers and various rebels would have Israel's star of David - awkward! Assad's men could probably get away with looking cool sporting Iran's emblem over Russia's tricolor.

Polygamy. Edit - yeah, uh, basically on one side dynasties don't really struggle with dying out the way European ones do. Things like personal unions due to marriage politics don't come up. You can even see it with something like the Osman dynasty that was discussed, or various other muslim...

We did a solid job of interventionism for the sake of our economy. We pulled China and east Asia off of the USSR and they're a huge trade partner to this day. We got the house of Saud to use US dollars for petroleum and get the neighborhood to do it as well. Our stock exchange shits all over...

Actually I believe we're relatively bad at election rigging. US interventionism history has a lot of propped up dictators and election winners who proceed to immediately shit on us. I don't believe we fucked with our allies elections beyond perhaps advice and a normal amount of aid, no rigging...

The DNC blamed Russia, as did Hillary Clinton, and Intelligence officials. So when I say the DNC blamed them for hacks my statement is true. Meanwhile I saw more evidence for Iraq's WMDs than this bullshit. Russian methods, Russia has a history of it, Russia likes to do it, it must be Russia! I...

Canada was a baller in WWII and they started re-funding their military thanks to Afghanistan. At this point they could probably conquer Europe...

Nations are calling for Russian leaders to be tried for Syrian war crimes, so Putin tells them to get their families out of the west. USA moves weapon systems into the Baltic region so Russia moves weapon systems to Kalingrad. Looks like a bunch of reasonably logical and stupid dickwaving to me...

I suspect Europe wants to use Muslim ties to obtain access to and leverage over the middle east, rather than the other way around. You and I suspect they'll just end up being bullied and manipulated by the Islamic world but I surely doubt the Germans and Swedes think that way. Germany sees its...

It's the opposite of nobody will nuke because nobody will nuke back. Nobody will full conventional-only industrial war because the loser will still nuke back. Nukes don't just stave off nukes, they stave off anything that would result in nukes. Soviets rolling tanks towards Frankfurt would have...

Syria is Russia's regional ally. They're the only place outside the former USSR housing a military installation - a naval base which gives Russia a port with Med access that's not reliant on Turkish permission. They've been quite friendly with Russia historically, even to the point of refusing...

Allah smiles upon your logic.

Hmm, true, changed my vote.

"In a patriarchal society all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not in a strong enough social position to give meaningful consent-an assault on individual female autonomy uncannily reminiscent of old arguments for why women should not have political rights" Post...

That's sort of true but it gets exaggerated, and often conflated with future outcomes. The Qin were unifying China parallel to Rome defeating Carthage. The Romans end up arguably about two centuries behind the Chinese, conquering Gaul and dominating the whole of the Med and materializing as an...

Good shit like this amidst a sea of crying almost makes me want to come back and play again. Almost. Is GOD still planned for an OOW bundle?

I don't mind the forged. The incentive has to be doing harder dungeons is better for gear, and it is, but these mean you MIGHT get something out of a normal etc. Timmy getting an 880 off a quest? Good for him. The problem is there is not the stable alternative. Forged is not giving you some...

I agree with this sentiment as you put it. What if, however, the raid version was actually slightly easier than the group? So the idea was you could choose to do the easier version at the cost of herding, or do the harder version but with the advantage of less pleb interaction. I suspect both...

I enjoy raids and raiding. I dislike that they are perpetually the highest form of progression. I would be very happy with a game where larger raids are relatively simple and used to gear up, in order to allow you to complete the more challenging solo and small group content. I just came back...

I won't play the personal net worth dick size game. Ask Cad.

I am the bourgeoisie sir.

I hate this phrase. Stones rhymes with bones. Words does not rhyme with me (or heart). Fuck that. I'll try anything else: ...are for the birds, ...can only upset turds, ...are usually lies when said to the Kurds, ...get SJW emotions stirred. Anything's better than those two shit options.

I've avoided the aids that is DBG forums, have they fucked up unlock timers any more? Is the GOD+OOW abortion rescinded yet?

With the glyph it is basically exactly the same as resto would be. Fun fact: if you are glyphed and in chicken and then use the legendary from firelands to turn into a dragon the entire dragon is all twilighted out. It's pretty fucking awesome looking IMO.

I like the idea of having servers separated but as a social distinction. My mindset comes from EQ TLP servers, where they generally released 2 at a time and they were the same fucking thing, and each time would have benefited from just making one "hardcore and competive players go here" and the...

I am voting 3rd party, and straight Democrat otherwise - I should be considered Dem regardless of what my registration ever says (I change it to do primaries).

THE Mongols weren't until 1200 but there were Mongolians, or more accurately Turkic and central Asian groups, obviously well before then. That entire stretch of the silk road overland is lined with settlement, as are all the river valleys on the many large Russian rivers. You read historical...

The Armenian region and the southern end of the Caucasus mountains had been marches or buffer states for a literal half millennium. Trajan went and ran apeshit over the Mesopotamian region (arguably the apex of the Roman Empire) in the start of the 2nd century and was followed by Hadrian and...

Depicting them as a sort of backwards tribal people is a mistake. Similar (and worse) to how people depict most vikings versus reality. These were important trade centers as eastern Africa was developing and India was rich and progressed. Tribal people describes the groups in the interior but it...

Islam had several advantages that often get overlooked. Most people note the incredible drain that their crushing Persia had. It runs far deeper than just depleted manpower - it includes depleted finances, and it is all underscored by incredible religious division brewing in the Empire. The...

Go south to Miami, Oregon and visit Tyen?

Yes, but you support a dietary lifestyle that encourages the excessive use of fossil fuels in order to foster agriculture in regions better suited to grazing. Scumbag.

I see. So crossfit and don't play pokemon go and not voting for either candidate and the like can all congregate here. Makes sense.

My thread is better, and has reference links in the OP JUST SAIYAN

I'm going with the idea that lightning can't strike the same place twice. Come on baby.

This is a glory hole, yeah? So I can't see who's on the other side? Lena Dunham has a lifetime of experience playing dirty with genitals... let's do this!

Sure you do. They have coca cola being sold, it's 9/11, so they take their products and do something to remember the event with them. I'd be cool with these coming out routinely, maybe with a soda battleship on Dec 7th and a soda rocket on Jan 28th...
