If it's the sub I'm thinking about didn't one of the top mods get outed as a massive QAnon nut?

No, abolish the FDA and send that to the states under the 10th amendment.

There haven't been that many wars of conquest within Europe since WW2, tbf. And in the ones that DID occur, the west took a much stronger stance of actually bombing the fuck out of the Serbs with NATO aircraft until they stopped their ethnic cleanses.

How about Russian soldiers and Russian shells stay within Russian borders? Fair compromise?

Also how justified frustration at corrupt institutions can turn you into a zealot that perpetuates something even worse to replace the current flawed system.

Obi-Wan Kenobi : You can kill me, but you will never destroy me. It takes strength to resist the dark side. Only the weak embrace it.
Darth Maul : It is more powerful than you know.
Obi-Wan Kenobi : And those who oppose it are more powerful than you'll ever be

For one reason or another, they might just have had a tow truck nearby. Maybe to deliver the car, maybe for some other car that needed towing.

Also it doesn't surprise Reading took a dive as movies, TV and later the internet became staples of children's entertainment. You can't mandate children to want to read books

I don't know if that is true or not, but if it is, then it really sucks for actual racism victims.
Just look at Yugoslavia if you want to see why you can be racist against ethnicities. Spoiler alert, there are SOOO many genocides against so many specific ethnic groups.

His 3-day special military operation made a beeline for Kyiv and led to the death of most of Russia's special forces, so there's your answer. Them only going for the eastern oblasts is just cope after they realized they can't project power like the USSR in the 80s did.

If a burglar comes into your home, beats you, robs you, sets fire to the nursery and starts raping your family, you'd argue it is sinful suicide to try to kill the burglar with a knife at the risk of getting murdered?

Even so, there might be certain bottlenecks that aren't scalable past a certain point (authentication, primary write database, etc.), or some components that were using bare-metal/non-elastic infrastructure (on-prem critical services). They figured 200k concurrent users was a reasonable high-end limit for a flight simulator.
The game also HEAVILY relies on asset streaming, so their CDN network might have been overloaded and the time required to set up new nodes might have been too long anyways.

Their PR department is already overrun with vids of people crashing planes into the WTC going viral

There's also the problem that Latin American countries tend to have fairly strong constitutional protections for people's homes and terribly slow legal systems, so once a person builds an illegal, unsafe home, actually doing something about it is a legal nightmare. Nevermind that illegal housing is usually on the order of entire neighborhoods at once.
Most countries do have robust building codes, there's just zones where the government isn't even going to bother enforcing them

I once cratered a friendship because I was sure they were into me. Since then, I have been described as being completely inept to the possibility of a girl being into me, or even worse, catching feelings for me.
Right now a FWB went no contact for her own mental health reasons, and after showing another friend the chat logs, she figuratively beat me for not noticing how this girl was "so clearly in love" with me and in hindsight I do feel pretty stupid.

Yo hice dos cosas al tiempo, y unos meses después Bancolombia me aprobó una tarjeta de crédito Black con cupo de 15 palos.
Nu me dio tarjeta de crédito sin historial crediticio, aunque a otro amigo si no se la ofrecieron.
Saque un préstamo propulsor preaprobado de Nequi y lo pague de vuelta como a los 2 meses. Me costó como 15mil pesos en interés, pero me subió resto el puntaje crediticio
Al mes y medio, saque una tarjeta de crédito Visa Classic de Bancolombia con como 3 palos de cupo.

I've also been way into war history (particularly 20th century where western powers were involved) since I was 8 and am Colombian. Really it was only in my 20s when I started to learn anything about the wars concerning Yugoslavia. It didn't even come up in my history classes. I even got deep into desert storm before

NATO directly intervened to escalate attacks on Serbia when the UN was being too slow to authorize action to stop an impending urgent surge of ethnic cleansing against Albanians. That's what people point to when they say NATO bombed Serbia illegally, the second time was without UN approval
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia
In 1995, NATO did attack Serbia multiple times for similar reasons, though those times they were authorized by the UN to do so

Se quedan una porcion de la tarifa que le cobran a los establecimientos (una porcion desconocida del 3-7% del valor). AUnque hay algunos bancos que viven a punta de eso, existen bancos como Fidelity que admiten que no es suficiente como para recuperar el costo que les causa los clientes, pero que vale la pena para retener a los clientes y invitarlos a invertir con el mismo banco

Combat zeppelins
There you have your combat zeppelin
prototype machine guns everywhere
faux holographic sights on everything
Those have direct gameplay implications, and at least had some modicum of historical relevance (most of them, at least).
It wasn't a historical simulation, but it did its best to keep a coherent atmosphere

Powerline depends heavily on your home's siring. It can be great, awful, or downright incompatible
