Vader is certainly Jesus tier, judging by the amount of stuff he's involved into. There used to be a time, in galaxy far far away, when we could have SW product which does not involve Daesh Vader in some way. Then hippies came and gave birth to hipsters. World has literally gone to shit and imploded from amount of bullshit concentrated on planetary surface.

Go hide in your cave and die there, this "o tempora, o mores" act is just too played out.

We replaced Christianity with Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Pokemon and Marvel heroes.

Big improvement tbh, Vader >>> Jesus.

So having taken my first pokewalk today, observations:

2/3 of the time when you catch a pokemon, the game freezes and you get nothing. Given that you need to catch like a gazillion to progress in the game due to the leveling system, this is a bit of a problem.

After this happens and you restart the game, more than half the time you then need to keep retrying ~5min to get past login errors.

1/3 of pokestops work as intended, 1/3 of the time you need to try them 5+ times before they work, 1/3 of the time they don't work at all.

The tracking system for "nearby" pokemon is useless, broken garbage.

Gyms are all going to be held forever by turbonerds who have absurdly high-level pokemon that you can never beat.

So yeah, all in all there is some room for improvement.

There is no question whatsoever domestically: Erdogan killed/imprisoned political enemies, won prestige, gonna tighten his control over his military, his rule is stronger.
The only question is how the foreign power will act: will they change their stance on Turkey, or keep doing the same things? IMO there is still not enough arguments against Erdogan that could be used by western governments and medias to justify a diplomatic switch from friendly/neutral to hostile after this coup attempt.

Are you high? He won, why the hell would they turn on him? They need him as much as ever and now he's crushed dissenting forces so it's clear he's not going anywhere. Have you not seen the news, it's condemnations of the coup across the board. Now he's going to use this as justification to consolidate his power even further and silence all critics in the future, at which point some EU leaders might make some displeased noises, but nothing more than that.

It's over for Turkey, Erdogan is going to absolutely lose his shit after this.

I'm seeing reports that the army are backing off from the increasing street presence of Erdogan supporters because they're reluctant to engage with civilians? Is this coup strong enough to succeed?

According to Imc TV, which I'd rely upon their info, soldiers seized the control of Boshporus bridges, had a shootout with the police, has control over some important places, but the government and the cabines are still making announcements that this attempt will fail. Turkey Radio Television broadcasting is under control of soldiers since 2-3 minutes now.

So all the military currently out in force is backing the coup? Is it basically the whole army together?

So whose troops are actually in control of the situation, loyalists or rebels? What's going on over there? Does anyone even know?

Yeah, either that or just try to reach the finish line with less money, maybe try to kickstart again with a more modest goal and scaled-back plan. I don't want to believe they'd just pull the plug.

Let's not lose faith though, there's still weeks left on this thing and anything could happen.

Yeah, there could be a little more text to accompany that video update and flesh out the concept a bit more. Needs to be more of that going on in general, really, people still have more questions than answers on a lot of points.
