Last post by Josquius - Today at 08:42:48 AMMy interpretation from what I've heard about it is epstein had quite the reputation, self built entirely intentionally, as a central guy in rich an powerful social circles.
He was the one you got to know to get access to everything.
For most I expect this wasn't young girls - though some people would have gone why the hell not and tried anyway when offered - but rather the network.
Also it's been said epstein was a very charming and likable guy.
There's definite questions though even for those we are pretty sure didn't get with children how much they knew /should have suspected.
Also I wonder whether epstein could have been pushing kids on people to collect black mail material. Just in case.
All said though I do think it's pretty clear that trump like prince Andrew was inner circle enough and involved enough he absolutely did get involved with the kid stuff.
Not convinced Chomsky or Mick Jagger or many others had any part of that.

Kentucky has problems.
Some other States have too, apparently.
Oh well. Not that it will change anything for the mid terms. It's all the Dems fault anyway.

Tough time to be a Russian officer. If you are not killed by your own people, it's the enemy that kills you. Not fair.

Last post by Savonarola - Today at 08:13:50 AMQuote from: Grey Fox on December 21, 2025, 07:59:32 PMMy English language favorite is Michael Buble's Christmas album.
My favorite favorite is a French Canadian Christmas country album by a singer call Paul Daraîche.
I could only find Daraîche's songs as part of a compilation of French Canadian Country Christmas music, but that was interesting. I didn't realize that French Canadian Country was such a well established genre. (It makes sense, French Canada had a tradition of folk music, like the United States, so that morphing into country would be logical.)

This is why the game relentlessly pesters you about any piddly army that does not have a commander, and offers a button to automate assigning generals and admirals.

QuoteDenmark insists on respect for territorial integrity after Trump appoints envoy to Greenland
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The Danish foreign minister said Monday his country insists that everyone, including the United States, must respect "the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark" after President Donald Trump announced the appointment of Louisiana's governor as the U.S. special envoy to Greenland.
Trump called repeatedly during his presidential transition and the early months of his second term for U.S. jurisdiction over Greenland, a vast, semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, and has not ruled out military force to take control of the mineral-rich, strategically located Arctic island. In March, Vice President JD Vance visited a remote U.S. military base in Greenland and accused Denmark of underinvesting there.
The issue gradually drifted out of the headlines but, in August, Danish officials summoned the U.S. ambassador following a report that at least three people with connections to Trump had carried out covert influence operations in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally of the United States.
On Sunday, Trump announced the appointment of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as special envoy to Greenland. He said that "Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country's Interests for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World."
Landry wrote in a post on X that "it's an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S."
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said in a brief statement emailed by his ministry that "the appointment confirms the continued American interest in Greenland."
"However, we insist that everyone — including the U.S. — must show respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark," he added.
Earlier this month, the Danish Defense Intelligence Service said in an annual report that the U.S. is using its economic power to "assert its will" and threaten military force against friend and foe alike.

Well, Johan is a quite chill person who doesn't dig in his heels on silly topics, so I'm sure things will get fixed quickly.
Part of me is wondering if his design philosophy is just not well suited to simulations games as opposed to more boardgamey approaches.
