I ' ll be on in a minute . <| sep |> This is about giving warrantless access to metadata as we started calling it after the Snowden leaks . That means the website , but not the page , that you requested , as well as date , time , number of requests , etc . HTTPS doesn ' t encrypt the destination of your request , nor that it ' s being made , so HTTPS won ' t do anything . HTTPS would help prevent the government snooping on more information if they decided to focus on you specifically . <| sep |> Looking at this , it makes me really happy to conceptualize it as reverse USSR . Instead of everything up to and including Poland from the east being revolutionary , almost everything up to and including Poland from the west is . Borders are wonky I know . I didn ' t eat Portugal because what did Portugal ever do to anyone ? Really they had a huge colonial empire and thats a pain in the ass warscore wise . Napoleon had the same problemI wanted to go right up to Hadrian ' s wall in Brittania but after I ate all the Channel provinces from him Britanny , exiled to Africa , vassalized him somehow , and thats a PITA war . Spain still has Italy because he was an ally until I went revolutionary well a little before , he violated the treaty of whatever that gives you 200 relations with them because he was Hapsburg . Russia was also Hapsburg , and ended up in a PU under Spain , which meant I had to spend 60 % warscore in my first Rev . War with Spain freeing Russia instead of annexing southern italy . Mantua , Ferrara , and Venice still exist because I ' m lazy . Kiev , Tinywealth , and Polotsk are the same . I couldn ' t core those last two fucking Otto provinces and neither Russia nor Persian vassal Syria wanted them . Denmark was actually the one who formed Scandanavia , surprisingly . I allied Mamluks after getting France PU ' d in mid 1500 s and Ottos only tried to fight that alliance once . They eventually formed Egypt , which was the first time I ' d seen that , so that was cool . Oh , another interesting tidbit , Ottos and the Spanish minors I released went Constitutional Republic after revolutionary rebels popped up . That was cool . Also , this is my second Revolutionary game , and I ' ve found with the Spread the Revolution CB that the only stopping me from expanding indefinitely is OE , which will fuck even the largest of empires . how to deal with that ? How do folks WCing deal with that ? They must have to go over 100 % constantly
