US gained the rights to legally murder its own citizens without due process under Obama.

The best solution for the people of the PRC and the State of Taiwan (RoC), and to undercut US imperial goals in the Asian Pacific is for the PRC to recognise an indepent Taiwan, in return for not being excluded from semi conductors and having free passage through territorial waters (and throw in recognition of PRC claims in South China Sea if you like).

Without the threat of invasion and a normalisation of ties both will help both economically and socially, and the shared cultural links will pull them together over time; and it ties the US's hands in meddling.

Or ended up as a priest caste, or a third gender, or were accepted as the gender they expressed in some non-European parts of the world.

I think it's about the way Charon and Neptune both influence it's orbit and rotation, in ways that, for instance, the Moon doesn't with Earth.

So the Japanese names of the Kanto badges are just their colour.

We can probably chalk the odd name up to the translator not having played the game through and muddling the order, or just bizzare Gen 1 choices.

Addresses is the main one.

But also when talking about objects and categories, e.g. "the oak is a type of tree", not "trees have a type which is oak".

They do tend to do better when more mechanisms of the state are on their side, though. (But yes that doesn't mean voting alone defeats them.)
