My exact strat. It's fine if your mech shuts down after each shot, so long as you don't miss... Just gotta pick em off one by one

Where's this exponentially accelerating train of technology and how can I board it? All I see nowadays is this buggy predictive text engine.

Next year Utena turns 30 and I haven't seen it since it aired. Might be time for a rewatch!

• studio was founded to get away from the 'manga-to-anime' pipeline and have more control
• was meant to be a standard children's show
• nah, fuck that.

Identity is fluid, tattoos are not.

Same studio, but is it the same devs?

... If you're someone who doesn't speak Japanese.

Ah-ni-meh if you speak Japanese.

Shinzo Abe ... humility

Those words don't go together at all... unless you add a "no" before humility. 'Poor health' was an excuse given to cover for him breaking his promise to never resign, and he resigned because of the unpopularity of himself and the party scandals at the time. Wikipedia has a good summary:

Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party suffered great losses in the upper house election, losing control for the first time in 52 years. Agricultural minister, Norihiko Akagi, involved in a political funding scandal, resigned after the election. Additionally, Abe's rejection of a possible female Japanese monarch, which led to the Japanese succession controversy, diminished his support base.[47][48] In an attempt to revive his administration, Abe announced a new cabinet in August 2007. Support for Abe rose by 10 percent as a result; however, the new agricultural minister Takehiko Endo, involved in a finance scandal, resigned only seven days later.[49]

On 12 September 2007, only three days after a new parliamentary session had begun, Abe announced his intention to resign his position as prime minister at an unscheduled press conference.[50][51] The announcement came just minutes before opposition leaders were scheduled to question him in Parliament and shocked many. Abe had described himself as a "politician who fights" and previously pledged not to resign.[52] Abe explained that his unpopularity was hindering the passage of an anti-terrorism law, involving among other things Japan's continued military presence in Afghanistan. Party officials also said the embattled prime minister was suffering from poor health.

Just need to find Benjamin Franklin to charge your patented Super Battery, and wash your carriage to ensure precipitation!

My simplest explanation is that Russia's powerful wanted to be in charge and look out for themselves, just extracting weath from the other union members who they tried to keep in line with violence. Democracy was a farce and there were no plans to transfer power to the proletariat. This lead to separatist movements in many countries, violent and peaceful.

The Chernobyl incident seems to be the nail in the coffin, bankrupting the state if they didn't get outside money. The Russian elite then shut the whole thing down, rigging the sell off of state assets (aka the whole economy) to create the oligarchy and an ultra capitalist Russia, and the reinvigoratation of the church and conservatism, undoing social progress too.

I'm sure there other big factors too but they're the main ones that stuck with me, after going to dozens of museums throughout eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Russia.

• This study utilized a single-arm design without a control or dietary comparison group. Thus, it is not possible to isolate the effects of the WFKD from counseling and/or medication or to know how time alone would alter depression symptoms or cognitive performance.

I think speculative and preliminary is accurate. It's certainly something people could try.

You haven't got any citations, either. The website you linked has a research database. Click on a few on the studies and read the abstracts. It all seems very speculative and preliminary...

Love this game... first time seeing the US version cover art... as usual they cocked it up.
