I might be entitled to a benefit, maybe. So you better give me that benefit just in case.

Apply that same reasoning to other situations.

Give the elderly disability benefit, they may be entitled, maybe not. Do it just in case.

Or to another area: you may not need antibiotics, but just have them in case you miss out on them.

Sure, you catch everyone but it costs a lot of money.

To take this to an absurd conclusion: I a 29 year old, may be entitled to a pension. I haven’t checked, or applied, but give it to me anyway, just incase I am entitled.

I get your point, but that is a principle that shouldn’t be applied. You could use the same logic to give anyone any benefit, just incase.

They’ve got nukes though, and plenty of conventional fire power (compared to Ukraine when it was invaded).

They need to invest in a non US lead command structure as that’s all using US tech and personnel.

Maybe not the strangest but here are 2 from my vacation to London last month:

2 women walking past. One of them says:

“I talk a lot of shit, but my fart is bigger than my shit.”

Then in Covent Garden I met a very polite drug dealer:

Excuse me, do you need any weed or coke? No, well then have a very good evening.

Nice guy, big smile.

What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.

Un-fortify the wheat now!

Did killing Cesar at the end of Fallout New Vegas teach us nothing?

The war machine is too far along to be stopped easily.

Or if WW1 is your poison:

Initially, Wilhelm II wanted to halt the German mobilization, hoping for a peaceful resolution. However, Moltke insisted it was too late to stop the complex mobilization process once it had been set in motion. He argued that it was “like a wound-up clock” that couldn’t simply be unwound. His words essentially conveyed that the mobilization machinery, once started, would continue inexorably towards war, effectively removing any possibility of reversal.

They shouldn’t be uncomfortable. Make sure you’ve set them correctly.

Did you send in the Human fleet to defend the Citadel from the Reapers, or did you hold back ensuring Humanity had the biggest fleet after the attack?

Have a looks at the Hobart’s Funnies designs section:

Good luck. Labour ran on a “Not the Tories” campaign. Which worked because of the 12 or so years of Tory madness.

Hitler’s generals we’re largely good generals. Many came from the Prussian school of war.

The Allies didn’t try to assassinate Hitler because Hitler was causing so many military blunders by thinking he knew better than his generals and overruling them.

If they don’t win then they can’t pay it back. If anything it gives an incentive to lend them more.

The Iron Bank.

I’ve never seen one before, no one has, but I’m guessing it’s a white hole

British Private Schools:

Fagging was a traditional practice in British public schools and also at many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the eldest boys.[1][2][3] Although probably originating earlier, the first accounts of fagging appeared in the late 17th century.[4]: 23  Fagging sometimes involved physical abuse[4]: 23–25  and/or sexual abuse.[5] Although lessening in severity over the centuries, the practice continued in some institutions until the end of the 20th century.[4]: 23–25

So what is it?

Break them up!

Might have been black flag. I dont think it was the 1st one.

I remember un skippable cut scenes and the inability to run.

One of the AC games, I forget which, had levels in a games company’s office. I think they were developing games using the animus.

Turns out, the corp was evil and there was an AC fight to escape.

If they’d have been WFH then that evil corp wouldn’t have been uncovered.

Just saying this is maybe a bad move for corporate.

P.S. I’m pretty sure the antagonist (CEO?) was French?

I’m going from 10 year old memory banks so may be misremembering (in case my incredibly solid account threw you).

Agreed but I still agree with op :)

Ahh yes the: we can’t have self signed certificates for security reasons but also can’t open up the environment to the web, and we dont have our own CA server, trifecta.

Solution: awkward, manual, certificate import process from a 3rd party vendor.
