Exciting- with the release of Avowed and this, I am getting my Morrowind fix in modern games, finally!

I abhor AI on principle. This is the best use of AI I have ever seen so far. Just look at those hogs!

Well, thanks for the new point of view. I might re-watch it at some point in life- if I do, I'll try it with this mind set.

I appreciate the perspective! Gotta say though, Jesus that's some deep-level dark comedy that I just don't understand. I was watching it as more of an art piece, and less of a commentary. I still don't like it, but I never thought of it in this light.

"There Will be Blood" was one of the most drab, boring, washed out, and damn near unwatchable movies of all time, yet everyone claims it's a masterpiece. It's just a story of a man becoming richer than god, and going off the deep-end, culminating in a scene where his adopted kid tells him how much they hate him, and him murdering someone in a misguided fit of rage. None of the characters are relatable, redeeming or interesting. The script has like a grand total of 1000 words across the entire 2.5 hour run time, and none of it is particularly compelling. What a snooze fest.

A place where the beer flows like wine, and the women flock like the wild salmon of Capistrano.

Wait. Nope, sorry- I'm thinking of Aspen, not Tahiti.

Jesus, my heart dropped for a second because this legitimately seems like something this admin would/will do.

None of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the "unanimously" comes from 😇 I've looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷‍♂️

Fair enough! While the vote isn't mentioned in mine, they do talk about the opposition making public statements that they would refuse to run an election in wartime, which was enough in my mind for showing intent. I do appreciate the extra source.

off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?

Primarily that, yes. I appreciate the source of information, and if they are the ones reporting first- that is what it is, I just personally don't read it if I can help it.

I saw news on this yesterday- pretty sure all of Zelenskyy's political opponents unanimously made public statements saying they would not have an election before the end of the war.
