Well, it's no secret anymore that you guys actually speak German at home and have your funny Dutch language only for the tourists, so no wonder you like how it sounds!
You're earning how much? (Well, inflation is a bummer)
You're taking dance classes without being forced? WHY?
You have how many cats? Man are they cute!
I don't believe a word about your relationships and sex life. And shame on you, if it would be true!
A lot of time has passed since I was 19 and looking back at that 19-year-old dude, he would have the hardest time understanding how I got to where I am now. If I could, I would try to beat some sense into that guy, which might have made things along the way easier.
Just look at the military decisions Hitler made, that was luckily an incompetent guy thinking he's smarter than everyone else. That rings a bell, doesn't it?
In the long run, making less stupid decisions wouldn't most likely have changed the outcome, but even more people would likely have died (and unfortunately the people executing the murder of the Jews weren't as incompetent as their glorious leader).
If you have never played Civ before it would be a good time to start with Civ 5 or maybe even Civ 3. They are cheap and quite polished.
In my opinion (having played Civ since the first game, yes I'm old), Civ 7 is quite ok in it's foundations, but it's clearly released too early and like the other parts before it's mainly a game about optimizing numbers, not so much about strategy.
Biggest turn off for me is the introduction of "rogue like" mechanics that give you to play certain characters and nations in a certain way to access others. Why would I want to have that crap in a strategy game?
A phone reacting to "ok Google" or the equivalent for the other assistants already requires to listen to what you're saying - doesn't seem to affect battery life all that much.
They give you the stash space that you bought for PoE1 in PoE2 as well - I would never have expected that. And the money you spend for the EA gives you some ingame stuff and currency too. Quite fair, imo.
When going for brands, like Lounge Underwear or even more expensive ones like Marlies Dekkers, Aubade or Lise Charmel (instead of cheap imports from China) there's almost never a problem with the size. There have been maybe 2 or 3 bras (cheap ones) that did not fit in the last twelve years and everything else has the same size and fits her.
Funnily I saw the playthrough of your game in YouTube and it really looks like a labour of love. As the guy who did the playthrough suggested, still need to buy it as a thank you.
Or is that another game with a red button? The maker of the game I'm thinking about wrote a comment on YouTube
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).
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.
I highly recommend "Dicht & ergreifend" (band) for a first (shallow) deep dive - Wanda dog is a good start. The video to the song is available online.
