The cut I saw is 1h34min
I cant claim to know the real reason. For one thing its convenient (single syllable), but mainly because in-game lobbies seldom have the benefits of active moderators. Same goes for Discord or Skype.
Sonia Ben Ammar I think
^They gave her only 1 min of screen time in the final edit. How disgraceful!

Between the two stones Upon returning to their dreamed-of homeland it was far from the minds of many Iraqi Armenians that they would encounter so many problems on arrival. Living as a small, separate community, mainly in Baghdad, they had decided to return after the US-led invasion of their adopted country in 2004. Instead of the open-armed heartfelt welcome they had expected, they were struck by difficulties in language, relationships with locals and simply making a living. All utilities and basic food supplies were free in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and they now needed to pay for gas, electricity and other bills. About 16 Iraqi Armenian families live in Darbnik, a village 8km from the capital Yerevan where the population is 90 percent refugees. The village has a history of housing displaced people. In Soviet times it was populated by Azerbaijanis, who then left at the start of the Armenian-Azeri conflict in the 1980s, leaving their village to Armenians who under the same circumstances had fled Azerbaijan. The families have been living in Darbnik’s former agricultural college, renovated by the UN. There are no churches, drug stores, markets or normal transportation. Iraqi Armenians have created a small Baghdad in their apartments, saving memories with photographs and other items brought from their former homes in Iraq. They often spend their time watching news or soaps from their native land on cable TV. They continue to live in a closed community as they did before, neither Iraqi nor Armenian, living, as they say in Armenia, “a life between the stones”. But unlike in their previous lives, there is now no more idealized motherland to yearn for. http://www.nazikarmenakyan.com/between-the-two-stones-2/
Colombia legally recognises union between three men When the officiant at the ceremony says “you may now kiss the groom”, Victor Hugo Prada will have to choose which of the two men standing with him he’ll kiss first: Manuel or Alejandro. The ceremony, planned for Colombia in the coming months, will celebrate the first legalised union of three men in the country – and possibly the world. “We want to make what’s intimate, public,” says Prada, at 23 the youngest of the three. “We have no reason to hide it. We are just helping people realise that there are different types of love and different types of family.” When a public notary in Medellín signed the paperwork last month formalising the union between Prada, Manuel Bermudez and Alejandro Rodriguez, local newspapers declared it the first three-way gay marriage. In a legal sense however, theirs is not a marriage, according to Germán Rincon-Perfetti, the lawyer who drew up the document. “By Colombian law a marriage is between two people, so we had to come up with a new word: a special patrimonial union.” The document states that the three of them constitute a family and are each others’ legal partners. “We are not three friends living together. We are a family, a trieja,” says Prada, using the Spanish version of the term “throuple”, which indicates a stable relationship between three individuals. “We were already a family before this. The paperwork just formalised it.” Bermudez and Rodriguez have been together for 18 years and were the first gay male couple in Colombia to receive formal legal recognition of their partnership in 2000, 16 years before the country’s constitutional court legalised gay marriage. “Back then the issue wasn’t even debated,” says Manuel. During eight of those years they had a three-way relationship that included Alex Esneider Zabala. Four years ago, Prada joined the polyamorous relationship. The four of them had planned a ceremony to celebrate their union. But when Zabala died three years ago after being diagnosed with stomach cancer, Prada, Bermudez and Rodriguez realised that a ceremony was not enough. “As much as we considered ourselves a family, we had to fight hard to be recognised as Alex’s partners when he died,” says Bermudez. The surviving three sought to formalise their relationship through legal means. Rincon-Perfetti, who drew up the paperwork 17 years ago to seal Bermudez and Rodriguez’s union, offered to help. He knows of no other case in the world where a polyamorous relationship between three men has been granted legal recognition. “There are a lot of throuples but it is completely clandestine,” says Rincón-Perfetti. He said he expects other polyamorous partnerships to seek the same legal status after the media attention on Prada, Bermudez and Rodriguez’s union. Colombia’s constitutional court approved marriage equality in 2016, and in 2015 granted same-sex couples the same adoption rights as heterosexuals. But such moves have prompted a backlash from conservatives, who this year attempted to trigger a referendum to overturn the adoption ruling. Calls have been made for a disciplinary investigation into the Medellín notary who legalised the union. But the three men and their lawyer say their union cannot be undone. Bermudez and Rodriguez have celebrated their 18-year bilateral partnership in several different ceremonies over the years. But for Prada, the three-way ceremony will be his first and he wants it to be special. He has asked a female priest to officiate the spiritual part of the ceremony and envisions three dance troupes – representing water, earth and fire – giving each of the grooms away. A fourth – symbolising air – will represent Zabala, the deceased partner.
