Was your grandpa a member of the court of owls?

Is there any legitimate argument that cartels aren't terrorists? They seem to have successfully terrorized the local population in to compliance. They run militias and have military equipment.

I've tried a few space RTS games, and it's not my favorite. They tend to be extremely slow paced to simulate the vastness of space. At super low prices it can be worth it to try out, but it's definitely a different experience to consuming a map with an ork waaaagh.

Most the must haves are older, some aren't on steam, but are worth checking out if you end up liking some others.

• dawn of war 1 and 2.
• StarCraft 1 and 2.
• Warcraft 3, 1 and 2 are very dated, but if you like the style/setting try them.
• AOE 2 and 3. Maybe 4, I find it a step backwards.
• age of mythology.
• Rise of nations and legends.
• beyond all reason

Kylo killing snoke isn't actually a subversion though. That's how sith worked, the apprentice would eventually get strong enough to kill the master.

There are people that still hate the prequels, but they are the clear minority. Even on release the hate wasn't as strong for the prequels as it has been for the sequels. Some of it may be the toxic behavior of Disney outside the movies themselves, but that's a self inflicted wound.

I doubt the sequels become more well thought of. It's already been 5 years from ROS a decade from TFA and nothing has really changed in a positive direction.

Subverting expectations also needs to serve a purpose. If you have people use a window instead of a door to get in a house, it subverts expectations, but if nothing comes from it then it's meaningless. Most of TLJ feels like subversions that don't actually change anything.

It could also just be champagne isn't as superior to other alternatives now.

A 40k quote with democracy on the end feels so awkward.

Most the successful MMOs are similar to that. Warcraft, final fantasy, elder scrolls, swtor...

The DNC removed delegates for an entire state during the primary, they argued in court in 2016 they didn't have to respect the voters as a private company. They've been actively suppressing democracy in primaries ever since Obama skipped the line.

Good luck on number 3

Elon musk is great at buying companies that could be promising and getting them to massively grow. It's likely mostly about being able to secure funding, but it's something I guess.

You can picture a clock or a track. If you have one going forward and one backwards, they meet at the halfway point (6), and again at the full lap (12). This happens twice in a day.

If you have one going twice as fast, they only meet when the faster one laps the slower one. The two clocks would be at 3&6, 6&12, 9&6(18), 12&12(24)

Odin is looking good for being a few thousand years old.

No, if you go twice as fast, it would only align with one at 12 and one at 24. It's not about speed, it's about the intersections of forward and backward laps.

Lots of people know a broken clock is right twice per day, but many are unaware that a clock running backwards is right 4 times per day.

You'd rather rely on feels and a mythical silent majority?

We just had tons of exit polls. Foreign policy was a primary issue for around 5% of voters. Support for Israel was considered not enough or about right by a significant majority 60%+. You can pick whatever news source you like, the results are within a few points of each other.
