The hint was that the Aeneid is Roman and the Odyssey is Greek. Greece is centuries before the Romans.

The biggest party in the parliament, or a coalition, pick the prime minister. I'm pretty sure this one was from a coalition, and she was the leader of her party, and her party was the bigger of the coalition. Members of parliament do get elected into it by the people, who vote for a person and/or for a list. They didn't pick her to be leader of the party, but they voted for the people in the party that she recently became leader of.

I don't understand how but she's supposedly a conservative.

Far right Trump lover who wants a return to traditional values. You know which tradition she's talking about, and it's not a Japanese tradition.

Also, prime minister not president, and not elected.

I mean, it's supposed to force you to run away. It just was never natural for most teenagers and always felt like it wanted you to take your time and shoot your way out, but no, the speedrunner strategy is where it's at. It's not a shooter, it's a survival speedrun.

I really liked the part in that one "welcome to Raccoon city" movie where Chris is blasting every last ammo he has in a panic in a long escape scene, emptying multiple big guns and switching to smaller and smaller caliber whenever he runs out of something until he only has the goddamn knife left, and then the light turns off. Typical! Got a good laugh from me. e: this one how not to play Resident Evil

The original 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica, 0 had tank controls, is that what you mean? After that for the last 20 years, 4 to 6 and most of the rest were 3rd person / over the shoulder, including the remakes of the original 1-2-3 (I think 0 remake is also coming), and Revelations 1 and 2. 7 and 8 are first person. Not counting the shooter spin-offs. Nowadays, they play just fine, you shouldn't find anything wrong with the REmakes - unless you just don't like the genre at all.

Just start with Wikipedia there's no single source, it's pretty widely recognized.

Every base is base 10 dumdum

We should be passing bills that make President Trump’s executive orders permanent.

There was a period around a year ago for several months where we didn't know what was going on with Betelgeuse dramatically dimming unexpectedly, and we thought it might go out within our lifetime. But yeah, we've explained that about 4 zeroes back since earlier this year I think.

So just to correct the record here, the spread of Buddhism was done through severe wars and good old religious rewriting and recontextualizing of historical events and local mythology. It took a few tries and several centuries of propaganda before that settled down. Hell, the only reason Japan became a big Buddhism spot the first time around is the few huge temples that were built quickly by Chinese money (edit for correction: Korean initially) and preachers lobbying the rich and the powerful, because a couple big families near the throne decided that it could make them money. So it didn't really do Japan good until it was completely integrated and everything was rewritten, actually. And the rewriting that worked was "pretend that actually Shinto and Buddhism are really the same thing" (honji suijaku). Which shouldn't be too foreign if you know anything about Christian conversion of countries. ... Or ancient Greek conversion of countries, or anything else, for that matter.

On the other hand, Japan is currently known on that regard for integrating anything they see and having multiple faiths coexist, so it shouldn't really be that surprising that anything would be allowed to mix in. Though I don't know exactly how accepting the people were at the time beside how the ruling class was divided between converts and antagonists - just like when Buddhism came in.

So it's a bit both not really surprising that Christianity was accepted by the people, and also not the first time a foreign religion tried to wipe out the local religion of Japan through the people in power. No matter which way works, it's not a surprise because none of it is the first time, you just roll the dice to see which one makes it through this time.

What's different is that Christianity tends to be the one that doesn't want to coexist. I mean, Buddhism tried that too, but it ended up as part of the mix. So, the usual MO for Christianity is to target a few rich families in high positions and in trouble to get funds, kickstart some buildings, create an illusion of importance, and make that the new normal. Which is pretty much how it went for Buddhism. But here, the Edo shogunate shut down those big convert families (and of course a big war happened around them), so there was no big religious center or two to gather more money and start the cycle, so the converts stayed hidden instead, which diminished the "return on investment" and killed the adoption rate.

Preying on suffering people who already have nothing to lose is a secondary step to all that - though there was no shortage of oppressed people in Japan for a very long time. Spreading a grassroot-like movement would be more in line with what should work, it's just that it would take centuries of the government just slaughtering the sect of weirdos, until someone in power converts the whole country in the name of all the martyrs (that should also sound familiar). But that's not what Christianity has been doing in that period where it just figured it could walk in and do whatever they wanted. It's just not the oppressed people getting swayed in that can change that on the scale of a country. So, shutting down the funding from the rich families is what did it in.

Also, conquest was another drive of the spread of Buddhism, like around the 8th and 9th centuries when they were still wiping out the north, powerful families were still the ones using that opportunity to build more big temples, both in the capital and in the newly conquered territories, and spread more propaganda. That conquest process was killed when the country actually got unified just when the Christians tried to come in.

I think Colbert also kept paying his full staff when in covid lockdown even when he was filming it from his bathtub and then his shed or something.

And then there's also the whole freedom of speech, journalistic freedom thing.
