I'm pretty sure they mean The Company Formerly Known As Electronic Arts.

Because Paradox have a track record of buying studios and monetising their games in a similar way that EA monetised Maxis's The Sims.

Maybe maw and paw share the same line...

Informants and traitors, especially.

The Provisional IRA was an explicitly left-wing socialist group (if not quite Marxist like the Official IRA were), the defanging of which has let right wing rats like McGregor get a bit brave.

The IRA would've put this prick in a wheelchair. Perhaps we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater.

How do you think those protections were won in other countries? Indeed those few that are in America? By asking nicely? By quietly waiting through six months of the demolition of rule of law and any form of backing for the little protections you do have?

Your comment belongs on X, with the other variations on "No, it's fine, just sit there, eventually the right date to express your dissatisfaction in a completely safe and risk-free way will come around and your children will thank you that you didnt risk your mortgage even if they express it mainly by sterilising themselves so they never have to be so beholden to a future that will never come as you were."

I'm starting to think you mostly don't know what "assertion" means, which is the sort of literacy I expect from the illegal border-running English teachers I met in Cambodia.

I am asking you for clarification, and have done twice now. What the fuck are you talking about? Even the guy from Florida who asserted he wouldn't sleep with any prostitute over 45kg because they were "basically a man" would understand that question.

I hate to break it to you then, you are terrible at communicating what your actual assertions are. Because you made those assertions simple and concise. Whatever you imagined you were saying, you didn't. Hence: what the fuck are you talking about?

These are your assertions:

  • Americans with a passport are guaranteed a high paying job
  • Anericans with a passport don't have to pay US income tax
  • Americans with a passport also don't have to pay foreign income tax
  • Americans with a passport can move 'instantly' (even with some leeway for figurative language) to somewhere with 50-90% lower cost of living.

Are you an illegal border-running English as a Second Language teacher in Cambodia by any chance?

You lads are hilarious. Can I have the day off to protest the fascist oligarch boss? Please?

This doesn't happen in native English speaking countries (when the movie language is English, which it is 99.999% of the time).
