It is kinda breathtaking that his build has such a shrwed grasp of mechanics, but during the actual match, he's just flailing at the keys. With his tiny, tiny hands.

It's one of those "Great on paper" builds. Makes you wonder how it would have fared with a better player at the controls.

That's what happens when you pay for a max level character without ever playing the game to get there. Great potential but with no idea how to use what you've got.

Mm. And you, of course, never try to convince anyone of your viewpoint.
I argue my cases and whether they like them or not is up to them, I'm not gonna go and try alter their worldviews just to add to my religion
Fucking kekolytes man

Which is what proselytize means, essentially. To promote, persuade, recruit, or convince someone to join a cause. So very immoral. But I still don't think that's accurate for what I'm describing, where nothing is specifically being pushed. Rethinking your beliefs and looking into what else might be more accurate is a different matter than being persuaded to join a specific cause.
Not what proselytize means, literally. You are having a laff if you think preaching to people to join your morality is pushing nothing, ahahahaha

Just to note: Sanders was trying to RP a Druid/Cleric as a "flawed but devoted healer" to make up for the fact that he spent all of his time grinding woodland creatures for 5 xp a pop in the middle of nowhere, he was smart to cash in on the Devoted Followers feat but he didn't invest enough in his background or spell like abilities to counter someone as min-maxed as Hillary with her Epic Rogue that she cross-classed long enough in Wizard to create the ultimate phylactery: a former US President.

If Sanders was smart he would have invested in Bear Form and gained the support of Putin via the Natural Allies trait, but instead he just kept buying obscure ideological backgrounds and pumping his Wis instead of his Int and Cha.

Question for the people advocating the institution of European-style systems in the US: Can the average European nation defend itself effectively against invasion by a foreign military power without American alliance support? If so, how?

If so, how?

By spending half the money that the US wastes on healthcare inefficiencies on the military so they can afford the latest military equipment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Military_Strength_Index
This wikipedia bullshit places 6 yurop nations in the top 20 mil strength of the world
This thing is the wikishit article, but more in depth. Explains how some countries like Poland or Germany are lower in the index because they lack power projection capabilities (they could not for example, attack a country far outside their borders, but they are more than capable of defending on their home turf).

Sweden:
*Will be defended to the last Finn
Britain:
*Island, navy e.t.c.
Germoney:
*Lacking external threats of its own, Germoney protects EU interests in eastern EU sphere with military
Poland:
*Subs and tanks
Switzerland:
*Country is a Dorf Fortress
Turkey:
*Kurds Jihadists must be dealt with after all
Italy:
*Needs a lot of work, but relative to the rest of the world bretty good

Obligatory
Spain and Greece would also be up there, as they usually punch far above their weight, but are kinda suffering due to the eurozone crisis still, Spain to a lesser extent. Countries like Estonia are tiny and would not be able to compete with their neighbours without outside help, so that is perhaps an unfair comparison

The one at the 'obligatory' link is even wierder. Like, what is it supposed to mean if Central African Republic has a score of 3.7343 vs the US score of 0.0897.

Smaller is better

A score of 0 would be the murderkube

So a honey badger taped to one paw of a polar bear and a wolverine taped to the other paw, with a container full of bees inside the stomach so it shoots bees when it roars, and dual miniguns worn in a backpack controlled by the same stuff as these paintball sentry guns?
