Rome has no power in the British Isles!

I did that once by turning down the diplomacy range, the pope was too far away to offer an opinion about anything.

For all the advantages of an anti-pope to the player, I find my traits add up to a goody two-shoes person more often than not and it's just not in character. That and I'm annoyed when the malus to religious authority spawns heretics everywhere.

Just gives you an excuse to declare war on more people.

I was most amused with the “look for someone else” option, because a man wearing those clothes is looking to be noticed, and we should not indulge such ridiculous behavior.

Also, what’s more extreme than extremely treacherous? Reaching the bounds of treachery already, by definition!))

Well, when you put it that way, maybe 40% put something on their profiles. Otherwise it's just like instagram links or a whole lotta nothing.

I can't wait to move into the city to then be disappointed that it's not much better there. Maybe I gotta fall back on being an exotic foreigner again in a year or two. Kagus, they hiring nerds out there? The words 'if you don't like it, leave' are ringing about in American ears this week, and I'd really like to visit a doctor for a basic checkup, hehe.

Still better than what I experienced: 90% have absolutely no profile text at all, most of the remaining 10% just describe themselves using a string of emojis. Or instagram links.

As for hiring nerds, sure... I've got a drinking buddy who speaks about 12 words of Norwegian and works full time as a sysadmin for the national broadcasting service. But as for being an exotic foreigner, I dunno man... 80% of the people in this neighborhood are 1st or 2nd generation immigrants, so you're gonna have to compete with that. And we still get people who tell my Finnish friend to go back to Poland, so...

The fact that a significant part of the population here is originally from Pakistan or Somalia makes it really freaking funny when the ultra-racist populist political parties try doing their little shows down here about how Islam is the most dangerous religion... Kinda seems like they picked the wrong crowd, y'know?

And yes, there are now "Re-elect Trump 2020" stickers slapped along the central bridge here in the city. I still don't really know who they're trying to reach with those.

Americans abroad are allowed to vote, are they not?

I agree. It doesn’t seem to take into account your combat prowess of you decide to fight death either.
