Why would they nominate a guy with Alzheimer's for president? The only reason I can imagine is if they would want to give a fair fight to the orange.

It's easier for people like Nancy Pelosi to campaign against Trump, so they probably wouldn't mind a second term so much. They just have to do theatrics like ripping up his speech while not actually opposing the 'Reaganomics' aspect of the GOP agenda. Their donors are happy, the base is whipped into a furor against Trump. It makes their job a lot easier. I think that, for establishment Democrats, actually beating Trump is not at the top of their list of concerns; staying in power is. It's that way with all politicians. Biden just kind of won by default, after all the non-populist candidates coalesced behind him after he won SC. Maybe he'll win, maybe he'll lose, both options are acceptable to the top brass at the DNC. What they're most afraid of is a groundswell of economic populism within their own party, which is why they've been kicking economic progressives in the teeth since Bill Clinton.

The game determines the level of your companions by their total skill points. You can use CiteEditor to reduce the skill points of your companions until they are level 1.

This doesn't work for this problem, and none of the character editors (CITE or import) do either, unfortunately. This is what it looks like:


This is for my kid that I aged up. If I set all his skills to zero, he still has -200-something skillpoints even though he's at level 1 according to the game. This also happens if an NPC from Family Feud remains in your party after you fail the quest iirc. It essentially makes the character impossible to level. Unfortunately none of the character editors which I've found allow you to edit the 'total skill points' attribute, which would fix the problem and allow you to level your children normally.

Same problem

Could it have something to do with wealth and seniors generally having more of it? And I think in the US elderly vote far more than young people do, and they're probably not voting for young people.

It mostly has to do with the party structure. The older you are the more time you have to build up power within the party, which makes it easier to win the nomination. The only people who really break through this do so by having a disruptive, anti-establishment message, like Obama. JFK is another example of this. Trump's shtick also could have been pulled off by a younger person; he partly leveraged his preexisting brand to outflank establishment Republicans on issues that the base cared about (outsourcing, immigration, China, Middle East wars). Because the Democrats have a younger, more radical element, their primary structure also has built-in mechanisms to suppress candidates who appeal to that element. Republicans were kind of taken by surprise by Trump, the relatively weak measures that they used to marginalize a figure like Ron Paul wouldn't work on Trump because he was already famous, and utilized his rallies and the internet to bypass official channels of communication like debates and talk directly to the base. He also knows how to monopolize media attention.

This is also part of why US national politics are so corrupt. People come to D. C. with big dreams and grand ideas, but by the time it's 'their turn' to take a swing at the plate they've been ground down by years of party politics to be compliant to party demands (which are essentially corporate demands).

The EU is simply trash. Its' monetary system is built to benefit the central countries (aka germany) and to screw over the marginal ones (aka greece, spain).

Taking away the ability of a country like Greece (which historically relied on routinely devaluing the Drachma to manage debt and trade deficits) to control monetary policy was a painfully obvious recipe for disaster, and Germany predictably used their outsized influence to shield their banks from risk after Greece overindulged at much lower interest rates after joining the EU, screwing over the entire country.

It's not like they can reintroduce the Drachma either. Who on earth would have confidence in a currency which we all know is being introduced only to be devalued?

Term 2 for Trump incoming barring any force majeure.

Yeah this is honestly surreal. The Democrats have nominated a demented plagiarist who was an architect of the bill that caused the student loan crisis, has publicly shamed critics of the Iraq War and Bush Doctrine, and has promised to veto Medicare for All. The Dem leaders are talking about raising SALT deduction caps, demanding means testing, and opening the ACA exchanges while Republicans are proposing a limited implementation of universal healthcare and UBI. It's like the whole world has been turned upside down. Combined with the huge upwards wealth transfer that just took place (and passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, even from the most progressive politicians out there), I feel like a big political upheaval is on the way in the next decade.

The most interesting part about Joan D'Arc is that her family successfully appealed to the Pope to have the Inquisition review her court case and the Inquisition ruled it a mistrial based on judicial misconduct, false evidence and wrong court procedure, removing all blemishes from her in her parent's lifetime. Yes, actually, that is boring, but fascinatingly boring in how bureaucratic it was.

Yeah, the bishop who burned her was tied to the English, and did it mainly as a political act because he was being bribed. She was eventually canonized as a saint. It's annoying that it's often told as a tale of Catholic religious misogyny when it was more about temporal matters that corrupted a spiritual leader. Her appeals to the Pope were ignored and covered up and she was put into a prison with men, when she should have been tended to by nuns to protect her from rape (which is mainly why she insisted on wearing pants in prison). The clergy who took part in the trial were threatened by the English lords, and the same case which exonerated her also condemned the pro-English bishop who presided over the case.

It was more or less a political lynching of a prisoner of war, and was condemned by the larger Church in short order (when you consider communication and the glacial pace at which things generally moved back then).

I just reinstalled the third party stuff and restarted my computer and it's working now.

Same problem. Nvidia GTX 745. Can get white screen and a flash of a loading screen with the .exe but that crashes immediately as well. Nothing at all when launched from Steam. Checked antivirus, updated the C++ and .NET. I think it's something that needs to be fixed with a patch maybe.

1.02 also did nothing for me. I also tried additional troubleshooting steps like deleting the file in CNs and changing language and region settings to UK English.

Here are the logs from the Steam launch and the .exe launch if anyone wants to compare:




Launching the Native .exe is the only on that gets me to the running horse loading screen, the rest just don't do anything when I launch them.
