Lying flat is what I hear it’s called in China. There’s a lot we don’t need on a daily that we purchase because of consumerism. It’s finding what’s needed. Wear old clothes until they fall apart, eat less and less processed food, don’t just stop media consumption but pirate it if you can and show if for those who can’t. We need multiple pain points here that are sustained. The other part is look out for each other. Your neighbor can barely eat while working? Buy some extra non-perishables for them. Have extra clothing? Give it right to people who need it. Collectivism is how we get rid of capitalism.

Really it’s people in key positions that need to do it that’ll affect the common apathetic person in the USA. What’s that, the local food places are closed? Where are they going to eat for lunch sorta thing.

We’re still trying to win enough support to do so is the thing. The normally apathetic need to be against the regime otherwise they’ll just narc on people. They have to feel affected in some way and I don’t think anything less than the next large demonstration of ICE just gunning them all down in the street will do.

Deep Rock Galactic can be played up to 4 players, but 2 is fine. There’s difficulty scaling to what you want to do and you have to want to play high difficulty content to access it. You go around various biomes, mining for resources, fending off enemies. There’s a multitude of mission types to play that can be fun to funny.

It was officially released in 2020 but was in early access for longer than that. It’ll run well on mid range PC builds and supports Linux though with the typical warning it might be a little janky until you get the right modifications going. The DLC in the game is cosmetics and you have plenty you can earn through regular gameplay.

A racing style game that you two can play around in I believe is called Wreck Fest. It’s a demolition styled racing game so crashing, smashing, and bashing are all encouraged. It has from straight racing to demolition derbies with AI.

It released in 2018 and should work fine on a mid-range PC, though might need to turn down some of the physics effects since there’s a lot. Its DLC is different cars which isn’t really pay to win as they have strengths and weaknesses to them. I’ve played it on single player and it’s still fun, with a friend would be wonderful.

If you’d like a rogue lite kind of game, there’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Splintered Fate. It’s a coop rogue lite where you build up power sets and see how they do. Can be up to 4 players but solo is very much viable as well.

It’s like finding those 30 bricks of cocaine meme joke. They’ll lose more and more with each box until they’re just all gone.

You just said “what comes around goes around” in regards to my country’s shitty behavior. You’ve lost all moral standing with me because of that and have shown you’re not reasonable. V

Ahh yes, that’s such a wonderful approach to take. You sir are no better than Trump.

Edit: In fact you’re no better than the United States government at that. You’re sick.

I have a use for it. Put it in the recycle bin.

But do it faster, faster I say! I want to see American bodies in the street on the telly!

If I miss a week of work I’m homeless. There’s some people a single day can bring them down. They precariously positioned us here so by the time we’ll do anything about it it’ll be too late as they sweep us over the edge.

They won’t sacrifice their current golden lamb even if it’s make a lot of things shit. But Kristi, she’s a sacrificial cow. They’d happily throw her under the bus to install another puppet to take the blame.

Not false flag but they did let it happen as a convenient excuse to invade the middle east, especially as a pretext for Iraq, for their resources.

Oh god no, not that time again, no, NOOOO!

I think the second point was to recoup the costs at least would make them too expensive for people to buy older hardware.

Don’t let the kidnappers take you to point B.

I tried the climbing the ladder thing for a while. I just ended up in shitty job after shitty job to then be let go because I wasn’t perfect and the company hired underneath me. I’m done. I’m more concerned about my well being now and know I won’t be able to do that in higher positions where you’re expected to just tank stress on the daily.

I don’t want the BRIC countries anywhere near the USA, but a lot of countries need to realize this is going to continue until the Republicans are out of power. Not just Trump, the entire party.

I’m still not distracted from the Epstein files, but know that until we get a Democrat congress there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of seeing all the files. Even then, I think enough Dem establishment will be questioned by being in them they’d want to bury it too.

I was in college for my second year, prior year I had tried to work full time but work dicked me over thinking since I had “3 days off” I could work more the other days. Those three days were for classes, Wednesday for doing classwork for Thursday. I worked my ass off to ensure I had a schedule work could more easily schedule around then they pulled this crap. I had a breakdown at work and promptly put my two weeks notice in. Time goes on and work dries up due to 2008 so finding part time work willing to work around your schedule was hard when you had families who needed ANYTHING were going for as many hours as possible.

I still had a decent gaming computer, ate modestly well, and had plenty of time for course work with leisure time. Though I was lonely a lot, I started becoming a more social creature in college. It was an awakening of me realizing how much trauma I was carrying, how hard I was to live with, my political views and beliefs hitting the asphalt, and many other things. I was holding on for deal life just trying to figure myself out while also going to college.

In that time I wish I had stayed in touch with a sister of mine more for assistance. We’ve reconnected after college and she learned how rough it was for me that she would have offered help in just food on occasion if she could. The financial collapse didn’t really touch me, I was too busy surviving mentally to worry about it much. But the after effects lasted long enough that they were still felt by me out of college.

I was basically in a crisis of self the entire time, realizing I couldn’t go on with how I was raised, it was wrong, and I needed to change but that was very difficult.

Man, 18 years, it’s wild of me to think of what I’ve lived through before people your age were born. Some good, a lot bad. How I was unguided because my parent’s generation were just “tough, deal with it!” types. Why when I meet younger folks who have questions I answer them and try to provide my experience to see if it helps them. Yall really do need it in these trying times.

Going to the local video rental place is something I miss. Seeing lines of VHS with the latest movie out, NES games my parents refused to buy since we could rent. Then Blockbuster bought them out, it still offered that but it was less personal where you can talk about the latest movies or games that had released.

I didn’t really have a good childhood, there was trauma I didn’t realize was trauma until I became an adult. There’s some nostalgia for the worries of the world not being a thing but I never had the luxury of a blissful childhood.
