OK, but FarCry 5 literally has the villain being right in the end. If they just wanted to make sure the game had no good endings why go with "The villain's predicted nuclear apocalypse happens" instead of finding some other way to have you trapped in a bunker/cell with him after killing his "family"?
(Forgive me if my spelling on anything below is incorrect. As I mention I'm going through the series on audiobook so I haven't actually seen how almost anything is spelled and I don't feel like looking them up right now.)
It probably doesn't help that one of the more recent series I wen through was Dune, so I can't help but compare Rand to Paul/Leto II, the Aes Sidae to the Bene Gesserit, the Ael to the Fremen, etc. and while Dune is a slog (I think by page count it might be the longest series I've ever read, and that's only Frank's six books), I think it's definitely better written. Each book has a main cast of about eight, of which about three actually have their own storyline. I also don't recall being irritated by the flaws in Herbert's characters, whereas the flaws in Jordan's (particularly female) characters often grate on me, which I think is a combination of the fat that the narration in Jordan's books is essentially "in the head" of whoever is the central character at that moment, and that the flaws often remind me of people I know (or know of) in real life that I find somewhere between irritating and incensing.
If not for the fact that I know that the show takes my problems with the series and makes them even worse, while simultaneously destroying the parts of the series I like, I'd probably watch the show out of morbid curiosity.
Irrespective of the factual nature of it, I don't think it's at all reasonable to deny that the Holocaust is a Myth, in the sense of "a story of central significance to a culture." I'm not sure there's anything more universally important across western culture than the Holocaust, to the point where questioning it will get you thrown out of "polite society" on either side of the political aisle faster than calling someone a nigger.
If we count audiobooks I'm currently going through the Wheel of Time series. I'm on the last book Jordan wrote before he died, and while aside from book 8 (nothing happens in book 8) it isn't awful, if this ranks as one of the greatest modern fantasy series, the genre is incredibly sick (or maybe I just don't like the genre as much as I thought I did.) I think the problem large comes from the fact that every book after the first adds at least one character to the cast of "main" characters so you go from seven or eight to past double that a few books in, and they all have their own story (or share a story with one of the other main characters) which means if you don't like a character at some point you have to spend a few chapters reading their story, or (in the reverse) if there's a character you particularly like, you may go (at least almost) a whole book without anything major happening for them.
Remove the "adopted" bit and it sounds like reasons you decided to swipe left on a tinder date.
They screwed up the moment they decided the "sequel" to Arkham Knight was going to be a reboot (both mechanically and story-wise.) Just keep building on that base and you'd be fine, but no, you had to add a bunch of bullshit, and now you're killing a franchise. Good job.
More or less. Back when we only had 13 states and three of them had over half the population (now we have 50 and four have over a third.)
Go read the 12th amendment.
It's unconstitutional for electors to cast a vote for both a President and Vice President from the same state as themselves. Trump and DeSantis are both from Florida (Trump hasn't been a resident of NY for years and he certainly isn't going back now that they are trying to take his business from him through the courts), so the only way DeSantis gets VP is if Trump's margin of victory is high enough to ignore Florida, or congress picks DeSantis in an election where no-one gets the necessary electoral votes. Relying on either of those is dumb when you can just pick someone else as VP and give DeSantis some other slot in the cabinet.
When Desantis went to Israel to sign a bill criminalizing speech, he showed himself to be a standard Neocon. No mere speech can or should be criminalized in the US, and no governor of a state should be taking a trip to a foreign country to sign a bill.
I think I'd heard maybe once before that OJ's son might have committed the murders. Funny enough, if there is enough evidence to reasonably suggest his son did it, then a "Not Guilty" verdict would be legally correct (reasonable doubt. Though he'd certainly still be guilty of other crimes if he had knowledge that his son murdered two people and then covered it up.)
OK, but functionally the difference between total immunity and a pre-trial "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard is with total immunity the president has to be impeached by congress before trial, whereas with the standard you suggest, one judge can go "yeah, you met the standard, he's guilty." And if you think my second scenario is absurd, this is literally what happened in his New York fraud case.
You know, rather than letting "conservative" minorities into the country (that I'm fairly sure statistics have shown don't vote conservative after even one generation removed from immigration) we could solve the problem by making sure you actually have some sort of stake in the system before you get to vote, but that would go against one of the core tenets of western liberalism: Universal Suffrage.
Investing the authority of the church in a group of people unaccountable to the body or the Word made that sort of thing inevitable eventually.
No, just fire them all like Reagan did with the FAA.
The engine is similar but there's some pretty notable differences (terrain and units mainly.) Enough that I don't think it's quite fair to call it "the same", but unlike CIv II and Civ III (for example) there's probably a lot of shared code under-the-hood.
Civilization: Beyond Earth
Civ: BE is OK. I'd personally rather play it (with mods) than Civ V/VI. Diplomacy is pretty weak (and actually worse with the expansion IMO), but you can fix nearly every other problem I had with the game (including "it's not a worthy successor to Alpha Centauri") with mods. I need to play that or the Civ IV Planetfall mod again.
You already have a handful of episodes of the original series, which is great. Provided one of the episodes you've watched is "Space Seed", I'd watch the first four movies, then go through the rest of the TV series in release order through Enterprise (though I'd say there's a slow but noticeable decline in the quality of each successive series after TNG, which is exaggerated by the fact that they all take a season or two to get going.) I think the rest of the (non J.J.) movies can be watched at your leisure once you've finished TNG, but I don't remember much of any of the TNG movies so they're probably skippable. STD is irredeemable trash, don't watch it. I know people that like Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds, but I haven't seen them and wouldn't recommend them. Picard season 1 is bad, and season 2 is Last Jedi type awful, but season 3 is watchable without them and is actually decent.
Under the Biden admin? Of course not. But under an administration actually interested in prosecuting injustice to it's citizens? Perhaps.
Don't forget 20's and 30's...
Now I'm not a lawyer, but aren't both people involved US citizens? If that's the case, and the fag was involved in Lira's murder, presumably the US could extradite and prosecute him, no?
"C" to crouch is helpful in games that have certain contextual movement (sliding/slide jumping and the like.) If I'm sprinting with "shift" and want to initiate a slide it's way easier to use "C" than "ctrl".

I think what you'll essentially see is the "biggest" 50-60 or so programs form a new division/subdivision that essentially becomes NFL-lite and gets "all" the money. The teams that are left out will dissolve due to insolvency (no more big TV deals) or reduce the size of their program to where they can afford them. Whatever is left of the sport after the new stratification stabilizes will return to a more regional sport (aside from the new "FAS" subdivision as I've seen it called) but many historic rivalries and teams will die, and unless your school is in the new subdivision or can somehow get their own TV crew, the only way to watch most games anymore will be to pay for a ticket and actually go.
Paxton being shadow governor while keeping his role as AG sounds like the best possible timeline.
