Sometimes they even fight a War On Terror

Some of us live in functioning democracies where "switch to USB-D" won't come with an "it's illegal to give your son a name that wasn't previous a job title" attachment.

A calorie is a unit of measurement. In terms of how much energy you are consuming, which is what matters for weight gain, there is literally no difference between one calorie and another.

"Empty calories" does have a meaning and it's that something is 'just' calories with no additional nutrients. Not eating any nutrients will make you sick, but not obese.

I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway ("what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!") but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you'd just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it's obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

The fuck does "won their union" mean?

Are you going to be brave enough to name and shame?

This is a future prediction, not a current observation.

I'm not saying it's correct as a prediction, but "where are the extra power plants" is not good counter-argument.

It was 3.6 years after? And it was pretty dead at that point. Like it was popular with a core group who were making Niantic and TPC tons of money, but the phenomenon was dead by the anniversary.
