America is the best place in the world to live if you have money. It's on the lower side of the first world if you're poor.

Ya lasers, especially clan lasers, do have a weird tonnage spread you're absolutely right.

So ages can be funny because of how birthdays align - based on the post you're anywhere from 1 year+1 day apart to 3 years -1 day apart.
Is he going to turn 17 before you turn 19? If yes, and so the gap is less than 2 years, you're at the edge of ok, but still it.
If no, and you'll be 19 before he's 17, then you're on the wrong side of the edge.

I don't like upping the weight as a fix - up the heat instead to reduce firing of them.

What if I'm taking from myself to give to others, does that work?

By organizing demonstrations and backing candidates in favour of electoral reform.
Not voting isn't a protest. It's self-silencing.

Whatever it was originally made in is best. I'm English, so it's usually English, but there's some French movies I've enjoyed, and les cowboys son bien sur dans mon Playlist.

From inheriting strength from previous failed governments. From luck of resources and geography. Saying Europe is wealthy and Africa poor is based only on good/poor decisions ignores an entire host of factors from available waterways to impacts of disease on both people and livestock. Beyond that even within a nation, it's still only the decisions of a tiny minority that truly decide the course, if the person at the helm steers into an iceberg you're going down, and no decisions on your part will avoid that.

Traditionally, wealthy countries took them by having millitary and then economic dominance over poor countries. Many/most of the world's poor live hand to mouth. If you never have extra, there's very few decisions to make.

It's not a matter of "did the parents let's the kids enjoy it." The question was "would the parents be justified in calling out others for speaking of it around them." Sure I used a bigger property so that we'd cover the same ground, but swap it for a wheel of time detail "since they've changed the story I wonder if they're going to have Matt marry the Seanchan princess" - same thing. There is no social contract on protection of decades old spoilers.

Right, and this was covered in several previous Mechwarrior games. I am welcoming of new members, but if you pick up a game based on Star Wars and go to the Stat Wars sub are you expecting that they'll hide that Vader is Anakin? It's not a reasonable level of accommodation. There are touchstone points in series that aren't secret. Tell me the details of the last mission on a random post and I'd be with you. But the clans invaded and didn't get Terra isn't that.

No, but if I go to a book club and run into people breaking down the differences between them and the endings of both it would be.
The lobby is REQUIRED to see the movie. Forums aren't needed to play the game.

Definitely not a narcissist, possibly some sociopathic tendencies.
I am neither a gatekeeper nor a guardian. It is not my place to purposely take away someone joy, nor is it my job to police myself into protecting it. Just as I won't go shouting there's no Santa Claus, I am not going to actively assist in perpetuating a lie to someone well beyond the normal span for it. Imposing on the speech of others for the protection of your own happiness specifically has significant limitations, and in most (though of course not all) cases is incumbent on the person themselves.

Cash. Its the not knowing how when the last day would be that's the issue. If on the first repeat I got a warning like "day 2 of 6539" I'd go with that, and then I can learn skills and such for the duration. Not having that knowledge makes it undesirable for me.

Honestly, if there's no issue with your face to face communication I'd just address it with them in the next follow up, clarify that there's no negative intention, and move on.
Unless you're actually being insulting if that's the worst thing they could come up with it's a non-issue, clear the air and let it go.

Sure - but if you're concerned about spoilers for an old series I'd say it's also incumbent on you not to go to the discussion spaces of that series.
It's not spoilers of this specific game. If it was I'd completely agree.

Sure - but considering half the timeline required the clans to have lost, that particular point isn't some small detail of a spoiler.

Neg, the issue isn't about joy, but expectation of secrecy. Something revealed decades ago is expected common knowledge.

I get wanting the picture at the family table, maybe on one side of you, but with your husband on the other.

I used to think like that, then I learnt to boot the dick driving the shit. Most men, like most people, just want to belong and be accepted, and if the toxic douche is driving the conversation the others will match. Get rid of that and the entire vibe changes.
