Correction: Olaf is pushing for a bigger Ukraine war with the US involvement. He still plans on having Germany do as little as possible.
The best policy the US could have done was to have all EU countries transfer their military equipment to Ukraine, and sold new stuff to EU. It would have massively boosted the US economy, weakened European rivals on both sides of the continent, and finally made Europe take responsibility for their own destiny.
I think it's true, but I also think there's some important lessons there. The photo is really a beautiful piece of art and I think speaks to the power of how one man, with one photo can use that beauty to shatter the MSM narrative.
They will talk a thousand words to downplay it, but the picture stands on its own.
Oddly enough he was super inclusive of women, even had a section in rules book on "pronouns".
Kuntz/Robilar is the last living founding member, he's speaking out on the real story though and he's pretty based.
Solar and wind are useful and viable in certain limited applications, but indeed should be abandoned as a large scale "solution".
That's exactly why Chernobyl 2.0 will be counter productive. Culture will have to change first, then energy, unfortunately
Critical Role was fine, as they actually play other characters.
The "modern audience" doesn't want to do that. They want to play themselves or a perceived aspect of themselves in a mostly modern world representation but with magic. That's why you have to have a wheelchair mechanic, and race no longer reflects anything of importance.
This focus on "self exploration" has infected not only the players, but the creative teams as well. As someone noted below, many of the dwarves are probably self-inserts. We also get such releases as: "D&D’s Strixhaven campaign has mechanics for ‘what a hot mess college life can be’".
Thus all fantasy productions will just be "L.A., right now, but with some magic.... kind of"
R.I.P. DnD. You follow other greats like star wars and Indiana Jones to Valhalla while the corpos wear you like skin suits.
AI has nothing to do with this. These are human controlled for now. Yes, it will likely change in the future.
There is a good sci Fi video about it though:
Woah, I control Germany?
Beyond Civilization I don't think that's true.
But if Germany is a US vassal, then why is the US paying tribute to Germany for its defense? I think Germany is in the driver's seat of that power dynamic, unfortunately.
What could Germany do? Well, purchase arms for Ukraine obviously.
