Hitler being vindicated should be considered a red flag for Anti Israel protester.
The moment it is written "fuck the Jews" you know it's never been about Palestinians for that person.

Not 100% but 99.9%... IIRC Guild Wars 2 servers had like 1 actual outage in 11 years. They have pretty amazing structure.

Due to abuse, Wikipedia Blacklists Archive.today, Starts the Process of Alternating 695,000+ Archive Links
The Wikipedia guidance points out that the Internet Archive and its website, Archive.org, are “uninvolved with and entirely separate from archive.today.” The Internet Archive is a nonprofit based in the US.
Fuck, I got scared for a second. Glad it's entirely separate.

Who thought that it would be good idea to block gifts if they are over 10% in price difference

I guess if it was only friends doing it they wouldn't have bothered, it was probably because there was a market of third-party sellers abusing the system.

Tell me though, which company will not hand over what data they have when asked by their country's judiciary?
The question here is how much data they keep. Strict legal minimum or more.

Not to defend China at all, but... this happened it many countries, it's far from a China exclusive.
Now, whether it's still done anywhere else I am not aware of...

Hot Take: 5e is too bloated with unnecessary rules and should be simplified
Reply in thread
So why not lean into it fully and make the GM responsible for the whole balancing?
Because having things balanced properly in regard to the myriad options that are possible in people imaginations is hard, especially related to combat. Improper balacing leads to people having a bad time, while having an established, fair ruleset lets the DM and the players focus on other things.
No need for the framework to do balancing, because a good GM will do that.
But at this point why even have rules? A "good GM" can just entirely improvise a system.

Switzerland freezes assets linked to Venezuela's Maduro after US arrest
Reply in thread
You (and everyone upvoting) have no idea what Switzerland neutrality means. It's not like you could just read up an official Swiss government document about it (PDF warning)
This is standard procedure, freezing the assets of toppled dictators so that the country can get them back. This is to help the Venezuelan people. Here, other examples of similar cases.
Ever since the Marcos (Philippines) affair in 1986, the list of illicit potentate funds that have been seized in Swiss banks and later returned to the country has steadily grown to include Montesinos (Peru), Mobutu (former Zaire), Dos Santos (Angola), Abacha (Nigeria), Kazakhstan, Salinas (Mexico), Duvalier (Haiti), Ben Ali (Tunisia), and Mubarak (Egypt).
Edit: amazing, four people below proving my point.

Swiss police cry foul over citizen filming of arrests
If they are worried about unfair representation, then fair representation can be shown through unedited video feed directly from the police.
Garra suggests that more officers should wear bodycams to balance up the available video evidence.
And visibly some police representative think so too. It should really be the norm. We shouldn't kid ourselves that our police are perfect, even if they are magnitudes better than in some other countries. Complacency breeds corruption.

Though to be fair, if you keep getting hit by goblins at a high level, they're probably custom-made.
Standard goblins have +8 to hit, so by level what, 10 latest they will never manage to hit you again.

I mean, to each group their own, but 4176 is the total of all together, which is a very unfair way of presenting it.
You'll never have to choose between all of them, or even a decent fraction.
While leveling up, you'll have to choose between 4-8 class feats accessible at your level, and you would usually prioritise ones available from your current levels to those available beforehand. Plus, at some point many feats require prerequisite, which means you can cut down half of options you can choose from really. Same thing with the race feats, skill feats and general feats.
8 possibilites maximum at every level up might be too much for some people, but really isn't in the same ballpark of having to choose between 4000+ every time.
