Was a Jew.
Funnily enough, I just increased my international aid budget by 50%. Taxes didn't budge and my foreign aid is still in the negative figures on the analysis page.
You wouldn't believe it by looking at the tax rate but in my mind, it's actually a Conservative government that's in charge of Nuremgard right now.
Bearlong, Mercunova
Oi
No he got himself into power because the Russians wanted him to be in the first place and he doesn't take a stance on that because he maintains plausible deniability on the issue. Wasn't talking about his morality, mate.
Nuremgard
Him and Putin will be talking with no handlers present. I guess Putin likes a bit of privacy when the American President is blowing him.
Yukona
Wow, so he netted himself a seat inside of Putin's circle and knew to maintain plausible deniability on his stances? Like correcting himself when he went and said gay marriage was good in the bible belt because he knew not to get his support base divided?
It's like he acted in a way that "show[ed] sharp powers of judgment" when it came to getting into office by manipulating people. I wonder what word in the english language could possibly apply there?
Anyhow, no, that's really not how he did it. If it was literally just "Russia wanted it "x" way" than all presidents in the future will be the Russian favorite, but instead it related both to his skills of appealing to the groups across the nation through being ambiguous on exactly how he'd do what. Well, that and -as has been said literally a billion times today?- appealing to the fact that people felt betrayed in job-security and were clambering for a market that protected them. But I guess that appealing to a base of people who feel as though they've been betrayed isn't shrewd anyway so *shrug*

Please read and comment on my new factbook. :)

while i suppose its possible you can have existential realizations or other major breakthroughs on PCP, its not common at all.
Yukona, Gualimole
I bounced on my boy's d!ck to that picture.
_)_)===============> ~~~~~ <----------- That's jizz.
Nuremgard, Mercunova
You're on PCP right now.

Seriously though, are the factbooks okay?
No.

We can have different opinions on this, your opinion doesnt have to be fact and you dont have to be right
Alruniea
But if his opinions aren't facts, then how can he continue to be an "expert" and an "intellectual"?
Axeldonia, Mercunova
Sure we can? That means literally nothing to my comment though because that's dodging that people can dissent without asserting that they're speaking facts. I can say "Trump is a shrewd politician for [x], [y] and [z] reasons" while critiquing your opinion's foundation without fundamentally denying you an opinion?
If you don't want to debate (and by that merit, have it be looked at by other people who might well consider it to be ill-informed) then not debating is probably for the best.
Anyhow, the debate itself has been over for hours, so I'm fine with just bowing out of this one, doesn't matter too much to me >.>
Its not so much me not actually having any evidence to sustain my opinion, but more so my irritation with how you chose to approach your answer in such a sarcastic and pretentious way which gives off an air off misgiven superiority. If you chose not to respond the way you did, I would have probably continued the discussion, mate
Unfallious, Axeldonia
Feels nice to sleep in my own bed again
Mercunova
...Thanks.

New poll is up!
Nuremgard, Mercunova
💯💯😤💪🏻Gryffindor CHAD CLUB, WHO UP??! 💪🏻😤💯💯
Yukona
Hufflepuffs are dweebs lol
Oi! Proud badger here! Gryffindors are wallapers. :P
Dont make me give you a swirly you nurd, gimmie ur lunch money
Nuremgard
Smh all you bufoons hanging acting like you're on par with intelectuall Ravenclaws like me
Nuremgard
Fun fact: in the Battle for Hogwarts, Hufflepuffs were the most likely to stick around to fight after Gryffindors. So we're brave too!
Imma stuff you in your locker dweeb
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Mercunova
I always saw myself as a Slytherin because the people in that house tend to be horrible people who are the cause of all of the problems at Hogwarts.
Ravenclaw, reporting in.
Oh no Lex-Senpai, please don't~
Lex Caledonia
This test is biased and mean
I don't want to be a Hufflepuff ;-;
you're a Hufflepuff Kal, accept it
Axeldonia
Love the spreadsheet!
Everestopia, Nuremgard
Good afternoon, my freaky darlings!
How is the region's inhabitants fairing today? :)
Russkov Soviet, Mercunova
Very good Evers, yourself?
Do you have a conflict of interest in liking it?
Nuremgard, Mercunova
You can thank Aghrabia for liking my comment and reminding me about this.
Now, for an indepth look as I wait at my college.
1) A 30mm cannon is neither efficent nor needed. Guns as a whole are dead-space on an aircraft. They serve no purpose typically and serve to take up weight that should be used for either more fuel, more engine, or more avionics.
The only people who advise to carry guns are convinced of one of two things, either stealth is total and retards missiles completely, or stealth and missiles don't work. Both are wrong.
2) You have way too little thrust and way too little mission-weight. With a full after-burner you produce almost as much thrust as a F-135 going dry. This is bad because light fighters are the tool of airforces who don't care to keep their pilots alive (Smol weight = less counter-measures and weapons that work to keep the enemy from merging into visual range) and because the only people who have them unironically are also trying to bump them up all the time.
You also have way too little fuel for that engine to have a really big range like that, IMO.
I'd need a picture for this as well, but depending on what you mean by "mash-up" you might be closer to "pointless", because the P-51 will light up radars regardless of how much RAM you put on it.
There are also problems with the Mig-21I can explain, if you want.
Russkov Soviet
No.
Nuremgard
Oh, okay.
Nuremgard, Mercunova, Yukona
It's alright. We're good here now, than you. How are you?
I see... Take the guns off, bigger fuel load, and some more armaments. And I don't think I have a picture at the moment, but I can make something later tonight. (And the Mig idea is mostly cosmetic and for airshows/NatGuard)
I see all this Hogwarts stuff and all I can think is that I'm proud of my house!
Nuremgard
Sorta. I would suggest making the plane bigger and going with more avionics rather than more weapons.
Honestly, improving the fuel load and engine is essential because you won't go very fast or far with a low thrust engine.
Russkov Soviet
Badgers rule!
Nuremgard, Yukona
Sounds great! I'll put the specifics through to the Equestrian Ministry of the Motherlands Defense. I should also have a picture sometime tonight/tomorrow.
Kalaron
Man... I haven't been on the RMB for like, a month or something. How is everyone faring today?
Russkov Soviet
Doing great! How are you?
I'm doing quite fine, thank you very much.
So what *very* productive things have y'all been doing with your summers? I've been sitting around, that's for sure.
Russkov Soviet
Hey Val, I've been good. I've been making more IIwiki articles and the like, talking to people about the military at times and generally trying to get rid of some myths.
Play any good games, recently?
Russkov Soviet
Not really. I've been away on vacation for a while, and the only game I've played since was the old SimEarth. I had to play it as a web browser game, just cause it's hard to find it anywhere else.
you stop that
Russkov Soviet, Axeldonia
What's it about? I've had to emulate some stuff in old Explorer since a program from 1997 doesn't like modern chrome, but it's thankfully not very prone to crashing.
I've been thinking... I might have found a simulator that simulates Quidditch matches. There seems to be a lot of House pride, so why not field a National Quidditch Team? I might put something together if I can re-find the simulator and get enough teams.
What did we say Slytherclaws vote?
It simulates a planet based off of some old Gaia theory of evolution. Its by Maxis; came out around the time of SimCity (the original) and it ran on OS's like DOS.
When you're the one heretic who doesn't like Harry Potter and everybody talks about their houses
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Yukona, The British Islands Confederacy
RAVENPUFF!!!
Not as bad as me, I've never read a page of any of the Harry Potter books
Cesorion
Neither have I, but I did read a bit of the Harry Potter Wikia about the different houses and I watched an After Hours episode about them.
Mercunova
Please, dear gods, read the damn books. Or at least see the films. I'm serious.
Nuremgard, Yukona
We're on the same foot: never touched any part of it, even the films
Mercunova, Gualimole
Nah thx. NS is enough immersion in fiction for me.
Gualimole
People who don't read Harry Potter are gods? If so, then why should I read the books or watch the films?
Mercunova
Why are we discussing Harry Potter?
Mercunova
Nerds.
Fair enough lol
Mercunova
The poll up today.
Everestopia
Everyone says that to me.
On another note, is anyone here particularly active in the WA?
Russkov Soviet
Not me.
I used to be. I hated that incarnation! So cringey, he was.
Define "active"?
Does more than vote on GA and SC resolutions, like participate in WA forum debates on proposals, drafts proposals, that sort of thing.
Russkov Soviet
Ah... I'm thinking of increasing my participation, but I'll wait til after I get back from my vacation.
I recommend a Netflix movie named Tau. It was good. It's about a woman who is kidnapped by a tech CEO and kept prisoner in his home which is run by an artificial intelligence.
Yukona
Tech CEO? I never knew the culture of Silicon Valley was that toxic to women.
Nuremgard
I got kidnapped by my CEO and he made me do puzzles for his AI project.

Tl;dr it'll have directed energy weapons, AI, more advanced sensors, datalinks like the F-35, plug-and-play style add-ons, a haptic-feedback style cockpit. It will also be more affordable than the F-35 with less infrastructure to make them.
This totally doesn't seem like it's not going to be actually made, Britain is totally going to splurg on this massive project and get something amazing out of it.
In other news, Iran's Qaher-313 is totally real and has the easiest maintenance ever. They said so after-all.
Russkov Soviet
*groans* Sometimes I wonder NS... I've been heavily increasing my Defense Forces thanks to a number of issues I've gotten, but I dropped from 15th to 19th in a few days. I can see why, due to some people having joined with stronger forces or moving up, but come on! I can't drop below 20 after getting this far! I've got to be stronk for the next Z-War in October, especially after I managed to have a streak of being a savior with my Task Forces. (<- See Facebook) *cries*
Nuremgard
Ah, I must say... I'm not really one for Harry Potter.
J. R. R. Tolkien keeps my fictional heart.
Maybe don't support a Commie state then... :P
I am. I've never not been a member.
Ooh, where are you off to, Good Sir?
Russkov Soviet
Though, if I did have to pick one of the four Houses from Harry Potter... it would be Slytherin.
Mercunova
I just cleared out my inbox (I had 2000+ telegrams) and found messages from people who are no longer around, both online or physically :/
Mercunova
Also -> Could I please be put on the Citizenship List?!
I've had an email confirming I am now a Citizen... but I'm still not on the list and don't want to be excluded from votes :)
Mercunova
>Commie
>State
Haha, Indeed
Vista Major
I am really sorry for the Tory austerity cuts to your schools.
Mine was in the home counties, it didn't receive any? In fact we spent more... every child (300+) got given a laptop by the school to keep.
Still got mine somewhere I think.
My school decided to become an academy and then the headmaster made himself Executive Headmaster and gave himself a 350% payrise and put his mate in his previous position.
Nuremgard
He sounds like a cnut.

As Buzz Lightyear would say, "you are a sad, strange little man. And you have my pity."
Mercunova
My university chancellor is even worse lol
Nuremgard
Why is it the ones at the top seem to do less work but think they're entitled to these massive salaries?
Yukona
I agree with Nuremgard, he sounds like a massive cnut!
Should lose his position.
To the stocks!
....
It's true. There's always money for the bastards at the top but when the teachers/lecturers want or need a raise or better working rights, suddenly it's a big problem.

Have mercy on him, Evers.
