you would assume that everything you've ever upvoted would be available, but in fact, no, there seems to be a fixed limit for what is available to see, if anyone would have an idea of where to find a full list, it would be much appreciated.
Cybertronians are the inhabitants of the planet Cybertron in the Transformers franchise, there several different origins for them, and they are varying degrees of organic in each of them, ranging from entirely robotic to almost human, we'll be using the Aligned continuity for this hypothetical, as that is what I'm most familiar with.
Optimus Prime says in the very first episode of Transformers: Prime that he and other Cybertronians are "Autonomous Robotic Organisms", we later learn that they were created by their God, Primus.
Energon functions in near the exact same way as Blood, loss of enough of it leads to the extinguishment of the Spark, the physical soul of all Cybertronians, they have internal organs, such as the Transformation Cog, which allows for them to scan compatible vehicle modes and transform.
And here's the big one, CNA, or Cybernucleic Acid, is the base level component from which all Cybertronian life exists, we can assume then that Cybertronians possess some kind of Cell, albeit, probably nothing like anything that exists on earth, nonetheless, it means that The Thing would probably be able to assimilate a Cybertronian, the primary issue is their metallic nature, as The Thing is shown to not be able to handle non-organic metal, yet Cybertronians very much ARE organisms.
What do you think?
If he had won in 1848, and succeeded Polk, then how well would he have fared as Commander-in-Chief?
We often attribute the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty to Stephen Douglas, but it was Cass to first propose the idea for California and New Mexico. More then that, he was an expansionist, and likely would have supported the Filibuster adventures in Cuba, Northern Mexico and Central America.
Even more, according to his Wikipedia article, he himself was a slaveholder, I am not sure if it's true, but it would not surprise me.
His wish to not see any more humans then necessary involved in the war is admirable, and even logical at a first glance, while we only see direct fighting between Humans and Cybertronians a handful of times, the image we do see appears to show a degree of helplessness. Bullets harmlessly bouncing off of Nemesis Prime, who wasn't even a real Cybertronian. Despite this, Fowler was able to briefly hold back what might have been hundreds of Vehicons in a standard United States helicopter, and it's equipped rotary cannon. We can assume he was able to take out at least a few with said rotary cannon, despite never actually seeing it in the episode.
But here is the big thing, as far as we know, the Autobots were only ever in contact with the United States government, which, as the sole superpower on earth, does make some degree of sense, but the Decepticons make no such distinction, and appear to operate everywhere on the planet. Given their outright hostility to Humanity, and attempts to render the species extinct on several occasions, they are a global threat, and as such, the United Nations absolutely should have been involved.
The problem is that it would require revealing the existence of such a threat, the shock that aliens exist, that a civil war between said aliens has come to earth, and that the United States knew about it for possibly years, would cause some degree of mass panic.
But as the seriousness of the Decepticons became more widely understood, earth could shift it's resources towards total war, officially joining on the side of the Autobots, it would be costly, without question, yet it could shorten the end of the war by months, if not years.
so, according to this youtube video I discovered on the lore, London fell on the 14th of February, 1862, and was apparently the fifth city to fall into the Neath. I only discovered the game yesterday, so this question might be rather silly, but, is there any indication of what happened on the surface? London was, in many ways, the capital of the entire world in 1862, a centre of business, finance, trade, and of course imperialism.
Everyone who was in the city on that day, Queen Victoria, Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, the MPs, and a lot of other important people, would suddenly vanish without a trace.
It should go without saying what sort of havoc this would wreak on the surface, the government of the most powerful nation on earth is effectively decapitated, while everyone COULD be replaced with enough time, so many things could go wrong during that time.
There's also the matter of what happened to the people who fell with London, what happened to them?
Sun is in the unique position of being revered by both Nationalists AND Communists, despite disagreements on whether he was the Father of the Nation or the Forerunner of the Revolution.
Whatever the case, what's less talked about are his ideas, namely, the Three Princples of the People, Mínzúzhǔyì (Nationalism), Mínquánzhǔyì (Democracy), and Mínshēngzhǔyì (Socialism).
That last one in particular was heavily influenced by American Philosopher Henry George, in that he believed in the "Equalization of land rights". Later on, when the Cantonese merchants formed their own army in counterrevolt, they accused the Kuomintang of leading a "red revolution" in the city, which it was. Sun died in 1925, before later events would shift the KMT rightward, so what do you think?

the most recent issue I got had to do with a terrorist attack that had killed and injured several, and the media coverage of it, how the face, the motive, and the manifesto was all publicly shown, the option I selected was for a code of conduct to be created, as, giving that sort of person attention would only increase the liklihood of it happening again, it seemed reasonable, and my rating on civil rights plummeted, was it worth it?
