In roleplaying situations, authoritarians tend to seek dominance over others by being competitive and destructive instead of cooperative. In a study by Altemeyer, 68 authoritarians played a three-hour simulation of the Earth’s future entitled the Global Change Game. Unlike a comparison game played by individuals with low RWA scores which resulted in world peace and widespread international cooperation, the simulation by authoritarians became highly militarized and eventually entered the stage of nuclear war. By the end of the high RWA game, the entire population of the earth was declared dead.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Compensation needs to be paid and motherfuckers need to go to prison for their part in prosecuting people that they knew damn well were innocent.

You know it.

Brit here, all the windows in my flat have this system.

Could be you smelled American.

Yes, but the vast majority of us do have some insecurities and you can at least be honest with yourself and your partner about them.

No, it will make good tinder, means it’s dry. You can’t burn wood until the moisture and sap ages out of it.
