Blizzard controls the whole thing end to end, so I wouldn't be surprised if they artificially inflate the prices. They want their $20 and don't care how much gold enters the system. It's actually a good economics case study for how the US Federal Reserve operates.

MULEs don't really make a lot of sense even with Kojima babble about delivery obsession. What do they eat?

Yes, Every ancient empire was brutal and relied on slave labor, but Rome is uniquely mythologized by modern Western culture as the ultimate model of civilization.
Again, Rome's so-called law and order was a facade masking rampant corruption, exploitation, and a violent cult of personality around emperors. Their economy was parasitic built entirely on endless conquest and slave labor, incapable of innovation or sustainability. Also Technological progress stagnated because reliance on slave labor discouraged real development.
Recruitment failures forced them to arm the very barbarians who would later destroy the empire from within. This desperate move came because Roman citizens increasingly refused military service, tired of endless wars and poor conditions, forcing Rome to rely on outsiders they once considered uncivilized.
For example, Gladiator games and blood sports reveal a society obsessed with violence, not progress. they reflected and reinforced a society obsessed with violence and conquest, a war-addicted state that glorified bloodshed over genuine progress
In addtion Rome's cultural achievements were largely borrowed from the Greeks, repackaged and spread across their vast empire. While Rome excelled at engineering and administration, much of their art, philosophy, and literature were adaptations rather than original creations, revealing a civilization more reliant on cultural appropriation than innovation.
To praise Rome without acknowledging these brutal realities is to glorify a failed, oppressive regime that survives today only as a misleading myth to justify imperialist nostalgia

>1. Most North American natives were agrarian civilizations
Not really. Only a few regions, like the Mississippi Valley (e.g., Cahokia), had semi-urban, agriculture-based societies.
But most Native groups in North America were hunter-gatherers or practiced mixed subsistence.
These weren’t "civilizations" in the centralized, urbanized sense like the Aztec or Inca.No writing systems, no large-scale bureaucracy, no imperial control.
in short, The majority of North American Native societies were not agrarian civilizations, but rather decentralized tribal groups with localized farming or none at all.
>2. They collapsed due to European plagues
Partially true, but misleading.
European diseases devastated many communities, yes — especially those with higher population densities. But in North America, most groups were already decentralized and mobile.
There was no continent-wide state infrastructure that <collapsed> like the Inca Empire.
It’s a stretch to say entire "civilizations" disappeared when most weren’t centralized to begin with.
>3. Sioux and Comanche = Mad Max with horses
Wildly inaccurate and disrespectful.
The Sioux and Comanche were militarily powerful and politically organized. They had leadership councils, legal traditions, diplomacy, and even complex trade networks.
Calling them "Mad Max" implies chaos and anarchy, when in reality they were adaptive, strategic, and structured.
e.g) The Comanche, controlled massive territory and negotiated with European empires as equals.

Is your sister on your friendlist?
Go to options in her account, and remove the "share booster pack" option. This way any new pack she opens won't appear and you will be more likely to get her pack in wonderpicks. She will be offering that pack, among others she also pulled, for 3 days before being removed forever.
But even if you get it you only have 1/5 chances so not really helpful anyways.

also I don't think tests can really quantify autism because sometimes I have some schizo moments that I have learnt to control over the years and I guess that's considered autism too
