Favourite game of all time. Gorgeous looking and jaw dropping plot. Only complaint is I find the gunfights a bit samey.

This is how I managed to fix the same apparent issue.

It is illogical, not to mention callous. And yet the exaggerated rhetoric persists and whips up negative sentiment towards literal life savers from braindead segments of the far right.

They're wrong about encouraging fleeing too (as if that even needed saying) as I've pointed out elsewhere on the thread.

Why do you believe this? It's never been evidenced. Read the section "CRIMINALIZATION OF SEA RESCUE NGOS: A SMEAR CAMPAIGN" in this.

Ah and I'm sure you have a source for these "facts" and I'm sure they will stand up in court. It's not like the Italian government would just bring unsustainable allegations for political reasons.

oh wait

they do

all the fucking time

Seeing people suggesting that rescue efforts encourage more people to take the risk of crossing. Not true if you look at the data.

these results strongly suggest that...the absence of SAR operations...has little or no effect on the number of arrivals

Oxford study.

Yeah, externalities create opportunities for coordinated price behaviour. It's implicit price fixing in a way that would be illegally anti-competitive if made explicit. The CEO of EE/tesco/next or whoever can just go "due to input costs we are forced to pass on price increases to consumers" and all their peer companies can safely bump up prices, knowing that they aren't going to undercut them on price. The companies all get higher margins and the consumer gets screwed. Without the externality they'd have no idea about the pricing strategy of peers and would have to price competitively to retain or grown market share.

Searchable rules are good. List building I'm underwhelmed by. Handling wargear is a PITA considering how simple the rules about it are now, shoddy GUI design. "limited time only" indeed, I certainly ain't paying for it. Honestly I managed to put together a list quicker in a spreadsheet.

Absolutely. Smaller communities are often even better, more a conversation and less of an overwhelming hive mind.

It's kinda poetic for them to go down next to the titanic, itself a story of complacency and excess/opulance.

It's just been the crashes really. He has every right to co-lead jumbo at the tour, the strongest team. He would even be more likely than vingegaard to win over Pog IMO if they all get the the end safely as he maybe has a tiny edge in TT and is tactically the guy to sit on and finish faster while vingegaard attacks (think Thomas '18 with vingegaard in the froome role).

Honestly if jumbo only cared about the tour (they obviously don't and now could conceivably sweep the GTs) they should have had him focus so they can double team Pog again, I think his absense really hurts them.
