The anglocentric bias is ever stronger on the internet. And I say that as a Tolkien fan: in no way he is worthy of a Nobel prize.

Just to be clear, this government isn't trying in any way to masquerade itself as centre-left. FdI is right wing through and through, it demonizes the left all the time and treats insignificant changes such as this one or occupational rate (obtained through Draconian revision of national contracts) as "real work for the people", not "like the elitist left". They are populist, that's what they are.

Technically, Half Life is correct. Armor, which constitutes half of your entire life points, is also 100, and you don't have it from the get go.

S-silk... S-silk...

Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

I'm from Italy as well. I always like to remember a quote from Charles Mingus, who at some point in his career had an entire black band with the exception of his sax player, Charlie Mariano. When asked about it, he answered something along of the lines of "He's not white, he's Italian."

I'm the groom!

The "white" tie actually has a small deep blue pattern in it, the photo really doesn't make it justice (but I'm still open for changing things up). I tried some double breasted but none of the models I tried on felt "right"; and yeah of course I'm going to try to fix up some of the hair ahahahah

the fact that "80% of Turkish people use it for pure Turkish symbol", when it is clearly associated with a paramilitary fascist group, should really make you think about why Turkey isn't looked upon nicely by the EU in general. And I'm frankly surprised that even as a "non right wing Turkish", you still think it's fine to use the symbols that are now widely associated with that political group. I can't think of a world where I, an Italian, would use the Roman salute because it's a "patriotic" salute and because "everyone does it here" (even if a large majority of Italians don't, thank god).

never found Joyce to be pretentious (the man knew what he was doing, and definitely succeeded in doing so) or obtuse (I mean, how many writers you can think of that could pull out the mastery of language and human sensibility out of nowhere like he does). I might be biased because I believe Ulysses saved my life: it's definitely one of the funniest, most touching, humane books I have ever had the pleasure to read. I'd push Ogre to keep up with the good work.

Knight moves to C-2, black responds by expanding the chessboard with rook to H11.
