Fines are so the ultra rich and mega corps have more freedom than others. Rules do not apply to them, they pay for it which is far less than their profits. Fines do not hurt them, it allows them to make more money than smaller competition.
I was just a tourist, so take that into account. But in Napoli I felt fine on the main shopping streets, but when I would take a side road I felt very unsafe and watched. It’s clear you don’t belong there and you feel a target on your back, or at least that was my experience. Tourist heavy areas are better, but there are more pickpockets there too. I felt like I constantly had to look over my shoulder and shouldn’t divert too far from the busy roads.
Both the gulags and the front look nice this time of year.
If you don’t need food, then sure.
It’s really bad how the country is so divided. It would be better for everyone if this would change. But there’s a lot of crime in the south, so I wouldn’t want to live there.
Go to a country which is better than the US. So skip North Korea, Somalia, Palestine. Then you’re good.
I wouldn’t want to live near Napoli, or anywhere in the south. Italy is basically 2 countries. The rich north and the extremily poor south. It’s a nice country but also has it’s own issues. I love to go on holiday there, don’t know if I would want to live there. But I have the luxury of living in The Netherlands, I guess anything is better than the US right now. Knowing the language helps a lot, if you do not speak it then for sure learn Italian, even if it’s just the basics. Americans don’t have a great status as expats or tourists, anywhere really, adjusting to the customs and loosing the americanism is recommended.
You just won the troll awards, congrats
Believing in a god, aliens, time travelers or any other fairytale isn’t going to help anyone.
I’m not into pirates, Black Flag was structurally a proper and balanced game. I have played every AC game up to Valhalla, after that I wa done with the crappy gameplay. Sure, I might not understand the game, even though I played it since the beginning and loved the out of animus story next to the in animus stories (with black flag being the last good one, with 3 being shit as well), I may not understand any game at all, I’ve only have over 700 games in my steam library not counting all the other launchers.
At least you’re happy with poorly developed money grab games with endless collectibles and massive maps with barily any proper content other then copy paste grinding spots. I expect more from devs and in the past 10 years, if nog more, only Larian Studios truly delivered when it comes to triple A games.
Ah yes, Unity, the one which was literally unplayable due to all the bugs. I received a free Far Cry game because they were so sorry it was so shit. Origins was ok, except for the bugs, but missed the ships aspect which black flag had and riding through the desert took waaaay to long. Travel times increased with the bigger maps but not the content value. They just add more collectibles, making the games terribly tedious.
Valhalla was shit too. Raiding a place? Couldn’t even kill innocents. Didn’t they do any research into vikings? They struck gold with black flag, the rest was all shit and massive bug simulators.
Yeah, let’s blame this shit show on time travelers and not on the racist dumb fucks we voted into power. Whatever we do, let’s not take responsibility for our actions and blame it on anything else.
You forgot some important aspects:
People will have to give you all their belongings. They will have nothing if they ever want to leave. This can be done by making them pay for the workshops, with levels each more expensive then the other, making them not wanting to give up since they are already this far in and makes them give you everything they have to reach the next level. They must do so, otherwise they won’t have true devotion and they will risk punishment and have fear of being expelled. Look at Scientology, NXIVM.
They need to break ties with friends and relatives. Isolate them, so they have no one to return to if they ever want to leave. True isolation, with only you to lead them. They cannot trust anyone else, they cannot trust themselves. Only you. Again, Scientology.
Reward and punish them, but haphazardly, you don’t want to be predictable. This way they will do anything to get rewarded and are super scared to be punished. Break them down mentally, then build them up again according to your strict plan. Controlling their food and sleep helps (deprive them). They will follow you blindly and give up everything. See the documentary Stolen Youth on Hulu.
What many cults do wrong, is not having a business plan. You need income, so make them work for something you can sell. See the documentary Wild Wild Country on Netflix, they did this perfectly. You have basically free labor so you can compete in many markets.
And don’t forget you need good propaganda. You need new members, they need to think everything is super happy and they will learn new things about themselves (they will, after you break them first). Have a PR division, don’t be scared to pay someone properly to do this. Look at NXIVM, Scientology.
There’s a documentary about NXIVM called:

Other documentaries to watch:
I’m on holiday, so I watched the sunrise at the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. Would definitely recommend.
Hey, where’s Norway? And Iceland?
Combining oblivion, morrowind and Skyrim into one game mod: Bethesda broke it. Fallout London: Bethesda broke it. Both very soon after release by an update which was specifically designed to break the mod. Yeah, they do actively break mods to screw too enthusiastic modders who will create more and better content using their platforms, which will show their failure, laziness and not-caring-at-all-about-their-customers-at-all, because they only think of money and how to get as much as much as possible by screwing their customers over again and again. Todd is an asshole and Bethesda is a rotten company which still profits and milks their old successes from the time they weren’t rotten.
I just want to be sure.
When I play a space game, there usually is a nametag above every planet.
If you don’t see it, go to your telescope preferences, ui overlay settings, enable nametags.
