Switzerland's extremely high rate of gun ownership is largely due to the Swiss militia system. Switzerland doesn't have an army it is an army. Ex military personnel (almost all man and quite a few women) get sent home with their personal equipment INCLUDING guns but NOT ammunition. So yeah, lots of guns but no ammo: who would have guessed that this results in low gun violence. Seriously, one really shouldn't use Switzerland as an example when trying to make a point about gun violence.

Was fun in the beginning but quickly declined into an endless succession of filler episodes.

Okay, thanks. I was looking at that spot but thought it was just shadows and grain. Now that I know what to look for, I can see it.

Wouldn't even have needed the second picture. Just the first one reminds me of the classic CoC campaign Walker in the Wastes.

And a perfect example for an auther who didn't plan ahead. The last books amounted to hate-reading for me. Great beginning, nice character development at least for some characters and some really exciting story arcs. Then, after the author had written himself into a corner and didn't know how to finish the story, an ending that was complete rubbish.

If he is mad at me, I'd choose Grievous. Since he isn't force sensitive he'd have to actively look for me while I'd be hiding somewhere his huge frame couldn't fit.

What, other countries don't have this? I didn't know marzipan pigs were a regional specialty. @restoftheworld seriously, you don't have those?

It's a quotation of general Patton. It makes a little more sense when one reads the quote in its context: "...SS means no more in Germany than being a Democrat in America -- that is not to be quoted. I mean by that that initially the SS people were special sons of bitches, but as the war progressed they ran out of sons of bitches and then they put anybody in there. Some of the top SS men will be treated as criminals, but there is no reason for trying someone who was drafted into this outfit . . ."

Overall, religious affiliation is in decline in vast parts of Europe. Therefore, children growing up around here have a good chance of coming into contact with organized religion pretty late in their development. That is what I meant. I will concede the point that not coming into contact with any religion is almost impossible. But the later in life this contact happens the more unlikely it is to become a theist.

While I agree on the dumbass part, I have to point out that his name was Franz Halder. The argument doesn't hold.

Make that a black lesbian Russian soldier falling in love with a jewish trans Ukrainian soldier. That would be more like Netflix these days.

I love that one, although, I'm slightly worried that the solution came to me immediately.

You've got it the wrong way round. Atheism is the default setting. Unless someone exposes you to religion, you simply remain an atheist. Hence, atheism cannot leave you.
And from personal experience I can tell you that a shaking plane did not make me a believer. It just made me kiss my wife and crack stupid jokes like how we don't have to worry about bombs on the plane or hijackers anymore.
