Context: Miranda Frost on the Villains Wiki

Suppose in a parallel universe, Miranda Frost, the traitor who outed James Bond as an MI6 agent during the events of the 007 movie Die Another Day (setting the events of the film in motion) DIDN'T betray Bond and remained loyal to MI6.

Does this mean Col. Tan Sun-Moon gets killed by Bond, prematurely ending Die Another Day? Or would he still fake his death and Miranda's role as the traitor would simply be replaced by someone else? If the latter, who can you see replacing Miranda as the traitor?

This is how I processed the quote (I’m autistic and I have a simple minded approach to very complex moral issues): Then why do you bully and harass pro-lifers? Stop wasting your energy baiting people into pointless arguments (2 Timothy 2:23)

Cody made a video titled “What if the Mongols conquered Japan?”

The objective is to map out a plausible way for the Mongols to pull it off.

1. This article concerning the Essenes
2. Backstory on the Essenes in Jewish and Christian History

The Essenes (/ˈɛsiːnz, ɛˈsiːnz/; Hebrew: אִסִּיִים‎, Īssīyīm; Greek: Ἐσσηνοί, Ἐσσαῖοι, or Ὀσσαῖοι, Essenoi, Essaioi, Ossaioi) or Essenians were a mystic Jewish community during the Second Temple period that flourished from the 2nd century BCE to the 1st century CE.

Your objective is to have them survive to the present day

“Then Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of Israel following him, and he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, or you will be swept away in all their sin.” So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and their sons and their little ones. Moses said, “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not my doing. If these men die the death of all men or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. But if the Lord brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you will understand that these men have spurned the Lord.” As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open; and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions. So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.”

The following events happened in the Pax Belligans Universe:

On June 22, 1941, the Third Reich attempted an invasion of the USSR, intending to seize Soviet territory.

Soviet military districts in the border area were alerted by NKO Directive No. 1, issued late on the night of 21 June.

It called on them to "bring all forces to combat readiness", but to "avoid provocative actions of any kind".

It took up to two hours for several of the units subordinate to the Fronts to receive the order of the directive and the majority did not receive it before the invasion commenced.

German communist deserter, Alfred Liskow, had crossed the lines at 21:00 on 21 June and informed the Soviets that an attack was coming at 04:00. Stalin was informed, but apparently regarded it as disinformation.

The attack would never come due to an unexpected “seismic anomaly” that would ultimately doom the invasion of Russia to failure. At around 03:15 on 22 June 1941, the Axis Powers commenced the invasion of the Soviet Union with the bombing of major cities in Soviet-occupied Poland and an artillery barrage on Red Army defences on the entire front.

Air-raids were conducted as far as Kronstadt near Leningrad and Sevastopol in the Crimea. At the same time the German declaration of war was presented by Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, first delivered at 05:30 Moscow time by German ambassador Friedrich von der Schulenburg to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov. Meanwhile, ground troops crossed the border, accompanied in some locales by Lithuanian and Ukrainian partisans. Roughly three million soldiers of the Wehrmacht went into action and faced slightly fewer Soviet troops at the border.

Accompanying the German forces during the initial invasion were Finnish and Romanian units as well.

But they wouldn’t get very far. Three hours into the invasion, multiple powerful earthquakes struck the USSR, opening a massive canyon that swallowed the entire invasion force as they were crossing into the USSR.

There were no survivors: the entire invasion force-all 3.8 million personnel, their vehicles, artillery pieces, mortars, and even their horses-perished when they fell into the canyon caused by the earthquake.

The earthquake also killed approximately 50,000 Soviet citizens and injured hundreds more. The epicenter of the quake was the German-Polish Border. The earthquake was found to have been a magnitude of at least eight points on the Richter scale.

According to some reports, Adolf Hitler was traumatized when he got the news that the entire invasion force was lost, unable to accept that his plan to invade Russia was foiled by an earthquake.

The very next day, on June 23, 1941, Adolf Hitler suffered a sudden stroke while publicly announcing the tragedy. He died that same day.

The timing of the earthquake swarm event, as it would later come to be called, was seen as supernatural by followers of Christianity in the United States, the USSR, Germany, and even the UK, with many openly comparing it to the story of Korah, son of Izhar, a Levite whose blatant rebellion against Moses and Aaron brought about his own demise as well as the deaths of everyone aligned with him (Numbers 16:1-40).

This was by no means the first time a seismic event foiled a major military operation. In fact, the first time it happened was ten years earlier, during an attempt by Japan to invade Manchuria.

In a parallel universe, Spider-Man gets ahold of a Sling Ring before the battle on Titan. After Thanos beats everybody, Spider-Man secretly follows Thanos to Wakanda.

After he witnesses Thanos insert the last infinity stone in his gauntlet, Spider-Man (MCU) uses his Sling Ring to send Thanos (MCU) to an alternate reality before he can Snap half of all life out of existence.

The issue? Spider-Man sent him to 1943 Europe, specifically during Steve Rogers’ mission to save Bucky Barnes from HYDRA.

Thanos realizes too late he’s in the wrong time period but by then, he’s already Snapped.

Half of all life in the universe as of 1943 is now dead. The deceased include (but aren’t limited to):

1. Arnim Zola (MCU)
2. Johann Schmidt/Red Skull (MCU)
3. Chester Phillips (MCU)
4. Dum Dum Doogan (MCU)
5. Peggy Carter (MCU)
6. Various members of HYDRA under Schmidt’s command (MCU)
7. Loki (MCU)
8. Odin (MCU)
9. Heimdall (MCU)
10. Hela (MCU)
11. Fenrir (MCU)
12. The US President (Assumed to still be FDR in the MCU).
13. Adolf Hitler
14. Emperor Hirohito of Japan
15. Joseph Stalin

The following characters are confirmed to have been spared:

1. Steve Rogers
2. Bucky Barnes
3. Tony Stark’s parents.
4. Thor
5. Benito Mussolini

How does pulling off the Snap during Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) change not just WWII but the entire MCU?

Author’s note: This post retcons an earlier version of this scenario posted on r/AlternateHistory.

Lore:

1. Donald Trump is not nominated by the RNC.
2. Marco Rubio is a Protestant abortion abolitionist instead of a Catholic pro-lifer.

Presidential elections were held on November 5, 2016. The Democratic candidates of Wesley Bell, former Missouri House Representative, and Gretchen Whitmer, former governor of Michigan, defeated the GOP tickets of Marco Rubio and Vivek Ramaswamy. 

Bell ran on an aggressive campaign of sweeping military reforms and the further expansion of abortion rights in the United States. He also promised to crack down on “religious bigotry” in the United States. 

In contrast, Rubio ran on a policy friendly to Christianity. Disturbingly, he made campaign promises that horrified Democrats, namely the immediate criminalization of abortion for all parties, the overturning of Oberwell v. Hodges, and a “rededication of the United States to King Jesus.”

Bell won the election in a landslide, with 279 votes to Rubio’s 220. 

This is a follow up to my earlier MCU post.

Suppose in a parallel universe, Matt Murdock, AKA Daredevil, takes Peter Parker/Spider-Man under his wing and mentors him instead of Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man (Say this happens sometime after Captain America: Civil War).

How would Peter Parker/Spider-Man's life (and the films) be different if Daredevil mentored him instead of Iron Man?

The Griffin family moves to Stoneybrook, Connecticut, where they meet the Babysitters Club. Stewie ends up being a sitting charge under the care of Dawn Schafer, who moved to Stoneybrook from California. Dawn is the stepsister of Mary Anne Spier, a fellow BSC member.

Stewie is overheard talking about world domination, prompting Dawn (who opposes guns and violence), to debate Stewie about whether taking over world domination is a bad idea.

Who would win?

Breakdown of the combatants:

• Dawn Schafer is a member of the mentioned Babysitters Club. She is not only a health food fanatic, but opposes guns and violence.
• Stewie is a short, tubby, infant with an abnormally shaped head that resembled sort of looks like a football, formerly being regularly round shaped after sustaining it from accidentally crashing it at the ceiling from leaping from the bed. He has 9 strands of black hair that are combed over his head from front to back. His eyes are big and round and far apart. He wears a yellow shirt and red overalls and light blue shoes. He has demonstrated insecurity and narcissism. However, according to the lore of Family Guy, he is eventually revealed to be an insecure little boy who wears his airs of superiority and sophistication like a security blanket because he is afraid of being like everyone else, unremarkable and average. Stewie can't stand for anyone else in his family or their friends to feel good and proud of themselves or their accomplishments compared to Stewie's own, whether or not his own pride and achievements are justified, which they usually aren't.
• Stewie can't stand for anyone else in his family or their friends to feel good and proud of themselves or their accomplishments compared to Stewie's own, whether or not his own pride and achievements are justified, which they usually aren't.
• Dawn, on the other hand, is sensitive, but says what she thinks. She is confident and an individual. She is very neat, and she has a clean room. Dawn is not afraid to take a stand. She rarely gets angry; sometimes she pouts or feels cross but doesn't often scold. Dawn is extremely supportive of her friends and very caring.
• Despite being a baby, Stewie acts very much like an adult.

Win conditions and rules:

• Dawn wins if she can successfully prove to Stewie that world domination isn't a good idea.
• Stewie must defend his vision of world domination without resorting to violence and/or harming Dawn.

Does MAGA still exist with the RNC nominating Vivek Ramaswamy instead of Donald Trump?

Suppose I want to get this outfit but I’m not willing to spend money getting enough credits for the Santa Muerte Pack and decide to splurge on Crates instead. Do I have a better chance getting this from Spec Ops, Ghost War or Prestige Crates?

Sorry, I am not familiar with the different crates and what they give you.
