Yeah, the eldest inherits the primary title in that case.

It would only be weird if it was already Primogeniture, or for a non-primary title.

Frees up more time for handstands, man. Live the dream!

In my experience, limited though it may be, evaluations aren’t necessarily objective. They’re expected to give you something to “work on” for the next evaluation. That may be the case here, but it does give you something to focus effort on if everything else is high.

Don’t get too worried about it. If you are indeed doing well in other areas, they won’t be too bothered if you’re average in something else. Indeed, they would be providing you with some help if they think it’s a genuine problem.

As for your co-worker that phones it in... that’s not your problem. He can be mad at you all he wants, it doesn’t have any bearing on your responsibilities.

You’re using percentages. Percentages don’t tell you the real story, and not much beyond trends and proportions.

Prior to the crash, the 1% could buy everything they’d ever need over an entire lifetime several times over, and they still could after the crash. They lost a great deal of wealth, as one might imagine in a crash, but nothing they couldn’t handle.

The crash didn’t level the playing field in any capacity. There are people still struggling to recover (wages are just now returning to pre-crash levels for example) from it, so you need more than superficial statistical analysis to support that claim.

It saddens me that few games do this.

I remember in Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, if you got the maximum rating in every level for every character, you got the B-side audio, which was very funny, if only because it replaced serious dialogue in game about ninjas and conspiracies and replaced it with toilet humour.

I think that being part of their campaign was more to see whether or not it was a turn off.

To put it bluntly, The Tories are cancer in Scotland, and Boris Johnson is the biggest tumour. The Tories were never going to do well - their haul of 13 seats in 2017 was their best performance since 1992, when they won 11 seats - and Labour, despite being the powerhouse in Scotland since WWII, don't seem to be able to convince the Scots they're any better.

5002
On the one hand, sure. The Scots have taken their time, but they know that the main British parties can't represent them properly in Westminster, and it gives them a strong hand going forward, especially into the 2021 Scottish elections.

On the other hand, it won't change anything because the Tories have nothing to lose by ignoring Scotland saying they don't want to come out of the EU.

5003
They've revised that down to 52.

Or 53, they don't seem sure. Scotland's apparently challenging to poll.

5004
Looking like it. Enjoy the economic down turn and hits to social services, please try not to splash the rest of the world as you sink yourself.
Our economy, on news of the 80-odd likely Tory majority, did a nosedive.

Upwards.

The pound rose against the dollar, to $1.35, and rose against the Euro to the value it was a couple of months prior to Article 50 being enacted. Probably a reaction to the most certainty there's been in the last three years.

This is also, of course, prior to the Brexit deal at the end of January, after which nobody knows how imports and exports work to and from Europe, and we don't know how to process goods to and from Northern Ireland.

Then 11 months 'til Brexit actual at the end of the year, for a Canada-style deal which took the Canadians 7 years to hammer out.

I imagine the NHS will be sold out to the Americans, too.

Edit: Jo Swinson, Lib Dem leader, self-described challenger for the office of prime minister, lost her seat in Dunbartonshire East to the SNP, by 149 votes.

He meant modern right-wing, politically.

They know how to do fascism without appearing like they actually want to genocide everyone that doesn't look like them, more... make them not be "here", in which "here" is wherever they live.

Basically white supremacists with good PR.

Scramble on top of the boat that was, until recently, the one I was quite comfortably sitting in. Make sure to pull up as many of my crewmen as are in the sea, prioritizing Henry.

Shout as loudly as possible:

KEEP SHOOTING!

He was fine for the time being, best keep the goal in his men’s mind.

I hear handstands are effective.

Also things won’t unfreeze in January, at least not in the Northern hemisphere.

For srs though, I hope you can move on to greener pastures soon, or they figure out what to do with you where you are a bit more effectively.

For what he was saying he feels the last two digits of his hand go numb. This is the sensitive area of the ulnar nerve, so it follows that the problem must be in either the wrist, the forearm, or the shoulder.

A good way to improve muscle strenght of all those would be to do a handstand

*eyes narrow*

I see you. I don’t know what you’re doing but I have my eyes on you.
