It wasn't even that hidden back then, games like candy crush admitted to journalists that they changed the difficulty based on spending habits. The fact they might have that formula fine tuned even more shouldn't be surprising.

Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.

You don't chew unless you have too and you are ok with puking after.

Vietnam is a good example of a bad example. WWII is a better example of the necessary evil part, especially countries that were invaded.

The Linux development is about maintaining a viable option for a store if Windows went walled garden.

Conscription.

Sentenced 5 months for an average 3 year sentence. Sentenced to 4 years only served 19 months. Expected to serve 9 of an 11 year sentence that was nearly two years shorter of a sentence than her male peer.

If you want to commit crime, be a white woman for best results.

Arrested development and it's always sunny.

I really don't care for cringe humor where everyone is an idiot.

The first season of breaking bad is pretty slow, and the show runners really like the pattern of a slow start with an intense finish to each season. It gets better, but if you don't like a slow burn it's not worth the effort.

In your defense the mandalorian only has about 1 season worth watching, and most of that is pretty repetitive.

Michael Jackson didn't go to jail, but it effectively ended his career. Cosby got destroyed. R Kelly eventually ended up in jail.

Also remember the positive and negative of jury trials is that it takes one idiot in the 12.

The first ME is really awkward to play if you choose the caster focused classes. Especially so if you played on console or with a controller. If you played the more fun focused classes it was a decent shooter.

I made it fairly far through 4 without vats and playing in third person. It just feels so much more tedious than Skyrim without anything more to show for it.

I've tried 2 and 3 and just can't really get into it. Story wise I see what people like, but everything seems a bit more clunky than it should be and it's just more frustrating than enjoyable.

Also the important rule here is everything not explained to be different is assumed to be the same as our understanding of the real world.

It's going to be close, they barely passed it the first time. The speaker really didn't want the senate to make changes and they did. It passed the senate in a tie, so the house really can't change anything, which could be a problem for marginal supporters and hardliners.

The GOP just like the Democrats aren't a monolith. The Dems may be more fractured, but there's still 2-3 major groups in the Republican party and not all are 100% behind Trump.

Also you need to consistently break conventions once you do it or you really screw with people and make a shitty world.

I'm pretty sure that last decade or so has shown that Europe doesn't spend enough. It's not just Russia's invasion. Military action in Libya was reliant on the US to sustain more than a few days of action.
