Not in lotr world. There its the opposite, with the male moon chasing the 'flaming hot' female sun across the skies.

Flaming hot is my addition but its kinda remarkably fitting : )

Flag , 4 months ago to world in Ukraine shoots down 4 Russian fighter jets in weekend killstreak, says air force chief

I read (sorry dont have a source) that russian fighter pilots fly commercial just to get flight hours, cause they dont get enough from the military. So uh... maybe a lot of them just didnt and maybe still dont have much experience at all. Or maybe they do now... those who still survive.

Any single plane shot down isnt small. And they allegedly shot down 4. Not just that, pilots may also be lost, which is just as if not even worse of a loss for russia.

The term used in norway is 'Forvaring', which under conditions such as risk of repeating the offense, or inspiring others to do similar things (probs a few others too) means it can get extended. This extension can happen more than once if the risk is dermed to be real, or if they show no/insufficient degrees of rehabilitation.

So while i cant see the actual future, its extremely unlikely he will walk free, ever. What he's doing here is, again (as this aint the first time he complained), publicity for his views.

And the worst part...

Ultimately he failed in his explicit goal to spark an uprising but in a sense he was successful in other ways. Partially inspiring that dude in NZ (christchurch?) and so on, but domestically his actions did help shift the political landscape to the right, and it was a blow to thenlabour party which they are still reeling from to this day.

Edit: he had also legally changed his name to "Fjottolf Hansen".

Whats that got to do with the risk of other inmates maybe wanting to kill him for his actions?

It may also be a case of protecting him from them.

Why not? If it plays well, has a nice story, interesting setting or whatever else, doesnt have to be the best looker to be a good time.

I mean, you do what you want but feels like to me you make yourself miss out on good things that are out there just because they dont have top tier graphics.

Dusk isnt the best looking game, but its good. Just as an example.

You dont have to leave Israel and palestine to find more groups. Have you seen what kinds of people bibi is courting to stay in power? Ultra-orthodox far right netters who are publically asking for a cleansed ethno-state.
