Genocidal? For sure!

Military Dictatorship? Sadly not. Because he does in fact seem to have the democratic majority behind his actions. And that makes it worse in my eyes.

And when was Israel a military junta as well?

That would be UNCLOS, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

And honestly I really like the dry humor that some Wikipedia entries (strait of Hormuz in this case) are written:

To traverse the full length of the strait, ships pass through the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. Although Iran has not ratified the UNCLOS convention,[19] most countries, including the U.S. which also has not ratified it,[20] claim the right of passage as codified in the convention.

I also haven’t experienced it myself, so I should have added that I don’t support that view due to my own lack of evidence.

No idea about quokk, but for db0: from what I read here, the blocking of the tankie triad seems too be pretty effective, so in order to be able to still bother the rest of us, some were looking for alternative servers. And Db0 had the problem of being very open, so they went there. People then complained that more and more db0 users are tankies that can’t discuss faithfully.

Ah well, if Red Alert 2 is the game requested, then there are multiple iconic things possible:

Tesla Coil as building

Kirov Airship as maybe most iconic unit

Yuri is probably the most iconic face for Red Alert 2.

As Easter egg you could put a tree on there as well, as the game has the Mirage tank, which can disguise itself as a tree.

This game has no tiberium and neither GDI nor NOD though, so maybr you hide that at the bottom as Easter egg (since Tiberium and the original C&C timeline is the foundation of Red Alert)

While you correctly stated why I find acts such as these dangerous when not done very carefully, you are simplifying things a bit too much. Terry Pratchett correctly countered your argument in Going Postal:

Moist Von Lipwig: I’m just a con man!
Mr. Pump: You have killed 22.8 people.
Moist Von Lipwig: I’ve never so much as drawn a sword.
Mr. Pump: You have stolen, embezzled, and swindled. You have ruined businesses and destroyed lives. When banks fail, it’s not bankers who starve. In a thousand small ways, you have hastened the deaths of many. You did not know them. You did not see them bleed. But you snatched bread from their mouths. There will be no running.

Oh wow, those tiberium crystals look really nice!

Yeah, in my opinion these two faction logos are the most iconic images about C&C for me. The idea with tiberium crystals is nice if you want to do a diorama cake, but the logos are probably better.

… And if you want to take the tiberium idea,please use green food colour in sugar crystals and not uranium glass shards XD

What made them special to you?

Ok yeah, Tunic is cheating! But it is simply awesome, I agree.

You bring a rationality that is not appreciated in investing circles!

(The OP is known for joking 90% of the time, if you read their account name, just disregard the opinion and assume the opposite)

Kind of in German? Because the last “word”-part in the word determines what it really is and the separate parts of the word stay with the same meaning most of the time, so the end result is often connected to the meanings of the word parts it is made up of.

As example:

Fahr = driving-related
Fahrt = the drive
Plan = map, plan
Bus = … bus

Fahrplan = timetable for trains, busses etc
Planfahrt = drive that is according to some plan (instead of outside of the planned timetable)
Busfahrplan = timetable for busses

Congratulations on getting out! I do not envy you for having to make that decision. But not everybody has the means for emigration though. So hopefully they can stop that madness sooner than later.

Protests in the way they are currently done in the USA are meaningless, that’s why I added meaningful in front of it. If the protest is scheduled to end after 6 hours and happens every few weeks, why should the government care?

And don’t come with the “we are economically scared and don’t have enough funds for that” bullshit. Do you think the people protesting the socialist governments at the end of the 80s under fear of being taken prisoner had a big secure funding or did they protest because they were fed up with their situation and protested as long as necessary to bring down their dictators?

Do you think the people protesting the islamist governments in the Arab Spring under fear of being taken prisoner had a big secure funding or did they protest because they were fed up with their situation and protested as long as necessary to bring down their dictators?

That is one possibility, staging meaningful protests are another, less violent variant. At this point all USA citizen are complacent. After WW2 the only good Germans were those in the resistance.

Well, there are two songs which I think answer your question:

We didn’t start the Fire

And

Besuchen sie Europa, solange es noch steht

Which is a song about visiting Europe before it will be destroyed by the then assumed imminent nuclear war.

The Wizard of the Emerald City and it’s series from Alexander Melentyevich Volkov. The first story was a nearly 100 % ripoff of The Wizard of Oz and later books also contain some ideas from the original stories from Baum, but Volkov also created a lot on his own in the sequels. And I love the world he created. I especially like that villains were portrayed in a manner that made sense. While there also were some archetypical “I’m capital E Evil” the character of Urfin was fascinating to me as a child, as it was one of the first instances of a multidimensional charactersi experienced as child. He was an overly ambitious but smart person in a fairy tale village where everybody else was content with their simple life. And that discrepancy was the start of his road to villainhood.

While I hope some old parts are protected as history or heritage, I’m surprised such a rule was only established now. Reusing graves is something I thought was standard everywhere due to place shortage.

Oh for sure! I just thought in their heads was a certain kind of business savvyness to reach their position. But it seems they just hear the echo of their own voice.
