He could be / is a dick. My biggest problem with him (and not just him) was that he read things wrong. It could be a news article, and he’d be stating that Reason supported X position. ‘It’s a straight news article, dude. No commentary given.’ He also often wouldn’t really read more than the headline, and totally misinterpret the jist of the article.
I guess I give him a bit more latitude than other posters who talk shit, but that’s because he’s been there longer than I have. And I’ve been there for 12 years.

Yukio Hatoyama (鳩山 ユキヲ Hatoyama Yukio?)
93rd Prime Minister of Japan, first of the Democratic Party of Japan to put the traditional Liberal Democratic Party out of power. In the OVA, he is an obedient puppet to the Chinese leadership. It turns out he acts this way because he had been infested by a squid-like alien.
Maybe that’s the same reason Trump is Putin’s Pinocchio? Has anyone done a screening for a squid alien on the orange one?

John Titor
Last I saw Japan was a little weird still because of the new vassal mechanics. They really need a micro-HRE or something to reflect the sengoku period. Japan tends to break due to patches a lot (at release they uses to be under perma-rebels once the Catholics made contact), don’t know what it is like now, but they’re a good non-European colonization option. Vietnam, proto-Malaysia and Korea are also good.
By the way, I’m an idiot, you want to kill that France-Venice alliance and get Spain out?
1. Find someone to declare on, a minor or easy win if possible, that you can pull France into. Declare that war.
2. Declare war on Venice. Because France is in the other war, they can’t say yes to a call to arms from Venice. Spain can.
3. Crush Venice and Spain. Get enough warscore with Spain to cancel their alliance with the Ottomans.
John Titor
Ah see, I haven’t been paying attention to the new expansion info, Mandate of Heaven sounds like what I wanted Paradox to make THREE YEARS AGO, instead of overhauling Native Americans and African minors that barely anyone plays and making the Ottomans more OP.

Oh, thanks to reddit I found out my desires of kebab removal have hit another shoal.
Because I’m technically a Great Power, if I go on a kebab run, it’d be 3 on 2. So another GP would jump in. And I just know it would be fucking Austria.
Current plan – take 100,000 Mad Poles and 36000 Brandenburg Space Marines and invade Austria. This pulls in Palatinate, so I can make them break Otto-alliance and Great Britain, which will hopefully do the British thing of sitting on the island reading The Sun while the war is in progress. Then I’ll have truces with both and hopefully that means they can’t go into Otto mess (already have truce with Russia).
The tables turn on a 70-year-old homeless man accused of trying to rob a Barre Town couple at gunpoint in their own home.
Police say Kenneth Pecor was able to get inside a home on Little John Road Sunday morning. He allegedly demanded cash and a car while pointing a rifle at two of the residents.
But after a struggle, the homeowner was able to fight back.

Well, it’s looking like the Democrats have shot themselves in the foot, once again. The fake “Russia stole the election” propaganda has backfired. Now the DoJ has a good reason to look at exactly how the Obama administration got that October FISA warrant to bug Trump, why the earlier request was turned down (a rarity for FISA warrants), and how the information was handled. Oh, and how convenient that Obama loosened the rules for handling surveillance information, just before he left office! In a way that makes it much harder to catch leakers.
The cries of “worse than Watergate!” from the expected quarters might actually be true. There are severe penalties for misusing FISA data. I would not be surprised if Obama and company were consulting with their lawyers right now.
