Some great updates that I was not aware of - more for the wishlist with ever-decreasing time to play! Thank you!

Looks beautiful. Not played one of these for years.

Thanks for sharing - will download and add to!

communityclothing.co.uk is another option for those interested!

That’s sort of the point… no policy or seemingly priority change from the EU despite the enormous geo-political changes.

It is just sad to see the same short-sighted pettiness undermining Europe’s common interest. I’m not sure your specific points hold any water; obviously nobody anywhere in Europe has voted for this in a general election / referendum, and the current UK governing party (which won a large parliamentary election last year) was for remaining in the EU.

This is utter madness in relation to the UK if the EU keeps insisting on including other crap (e.g. fishing rights) in any third country defence agreement. The UK is as much a part of Europe and has as much of an interest in its defence as Norway and Ukraine, for example.

Oooh very difficult. For representing moments in time rather than necessarily being the best overall games, I’d say one of Rome: Total War, Dino Crisis, San Andreas, Oblivion, and Mass Effect

I think you need to take some time away from the internet

I am on a very similar journey - good luck! WhatsApp is going to be the most difficult to shift I suspect, but I’ve changed my pic to let people know to contact me on Signal instead so let’s see if that helps!

In practice there is no way non-US intelligence agencies are sharing intelligence that is critical to their agents’ safety or national security with the US. I doubt they ever have shared that intelligence with anyone, save in very discrete circumstances. In public they will continue to pretend that they’re sharing, as they have always done.

Great bunch o’ lads

Fair enough. I think the discussion ends there; I cannot use reason to dissuade you from a position that you clearly did not use reason to get yourself into.

So should there be any penalty for lying under oath?

Is she holding a bottle of Riesling?

Great stuff! I’ve found loads of the posts helpful for overhauling my digital tendencies, so thank you all!

Needed after the US so publicly ended its “leader of the free world” circle-jerk. Ukraine needs to resist long enough, and Europe needs to rearm fast enough, to mitigate disaster. This and other financial support will buy some of that time.

Cringe.
