Check out stuff published by Baen. Most of the Sick Puppies authors are theirs.
The great Gatsby is only good if you are taught to read it and pull put the symbolism. The whole point of the book was to pack in as much symbolism as possible. If you read it without looking for that its utter trash.
Dredge was delightful. I didnt know it was possible to make a cozy lovecraftian horror game.
I remember seeing stuff stuff about Last Train Home a while back. I'll have to check it out. UBoat sounds interesting too
I had a hell of a lot of fun with Blood West.
A lot of people are describing it as a immersive sim but there are no vents and no doors or safes opened with the combo 0451, so it cant be an imsim.
I'd describe it as an open world, 1st person sneaker/shooter.
India functioned when the caste system was strongly enforced. The untouchables didnt live in squalor because they were oppressed. They were oppressed because they were disgusting and would shit in all the wells.
Nicolas could be a turk. I doubt Norbert is though
We didnt start with 4k books. My wife and I are 40. If you buy 10 books a month for a decade you'll end up with a respectable 1200 books in your personal library.
Which is why we have over 4k books in our personal library.
I have a problem with the way the early German invasions are portrayed. There were regions in those countries that had majority german populations who lived on land that had been part of Prussia prior to Versailles. The germans in those regions were being persecuted in many ways, including rapes, robbery, and murder, either by state actors or with the tacit approval of state actors.
The guy who viewed himself as the protector of the German people included all German people in that group no matter what country their lands were now considered part of.
When the governments of the places where Germans were being persecuted refused to do anything to stop the persecutions, Germany took back land that had been theirs just 20 years before. They had to take over the entire countries to force capitulation.
If you want some good books to read on the subject:
This one covers all of North America and is sourced from diaries, letters, and memoirs of those who saw the brutal savagery in person.

This one is just concerned with the wars on the plains. Cowboys and indians stuff but as it actually happened, not the hollywood shit. It is brutal. Fans of Corman McCarthy will love it (you sick fucks) Everyone else will probably want to vomit.

I was going to say pretty much anything by sowell
Obviously.
Spain was vibrant and diverse for nearly 800 years after the Jews opened the gates of Toledo to the Moors. The evil Spanish Catholics spend the entirety of those 800 years fighting against multiculturalism and religious tolerance, education, culture, civilization, and baths. When they eventually conquered all of spain they turned their ethno and religious zealotry towards the Americas and parts of Asia as well.
Here's an article about custody
I guess the retirement one was in Argentina
A bunch of spanish soldiers have done the same thing to get better housing.

I cant find the articles now but I know there was at least one spanish "civil servant" that offically changed his gender to female so he could retire earlier.
There was another case in spain where a guy changed his gender so he could get custody of his kids.
The spanish laws on gender stuff are hilariously fucked up. They have all these preferences and protections built in for women but then allow any adult to officially change their gender on a whim. I do not understand why Spain has anyone who is officially registered as a man over the age of 18.
This is the only one I've seen that's decent.

Mensa does have an online practice test that is half off until alAugust 24th. I'm not sure how much it normally is though.
I'm in Mensa and pretty much all of the online tests I've seen are crap. That link I posted is a good one for the pure pattern recognition side of things but Mensa's actual test has quite a bit of things like analogies and solving logic word problems (still pattern recognition but language based rather than symbolic or numerical)
Muhammad, piss be upon him, had a unibrow and gaps in his teeth according to the only description we have of him. He was an ugly bastard who fucked little girls when he couldnt catch a goat.
How is there no diversity? The player is gay and plays as a monkey
For real. The solutions for such behavior can be found in Of Mice and Men or The Turner Diaries.
Was going to say that but I've drawn the attention of the eye of sauron a couple times recently.
As a veteran of the Global War on Terror who also didnt do anything other than sit in a office this definitely read to me like a write up I would do if I wanted to pull the wool over someone's eyes. Is it stolen valor. Ehhh. But its easy to be dishonest without actually lying.
People too stupid to know right from wrong should never be allowed to walk free in society.
The real crime here is that he won't be locked up for life. He will harm someone when he gets out and the people letting him go should be held accountable for his actions once he is released.
Being proven too mentally incompetent to stand trial should be immediate life in some sort of institution. Preferably where they are required to do simple, repetitive tasks to help defray some of the cost of segregating them from the rest of society.

The trusted flaggers will keep statistics on how many of their complaints were acted upon and if any platform doesnt censor as much as the others, that platform will be prosecuted by authorities.
