I was looking for something like dwarf fortress adventure mode or cataclysm dark days ahead and this is as close as I could find.

Sacrifices a lot of the smaller details of CDDA by being easier to play (not a bad trade off necessarily). You’ll still die a million times in Qud though.

Lol yeah I thought it was overly pedantic but 🤷

I hear you, but I think there is still value in voting D, if only to make the Overton window shift slower.

If the election is close or contested, Dems can pretend their hands are tied and let Rs enact their facist bs. If Dems own the house, they’ll need to do something or come up with some other bullshit excuse not to enact more left leaning policies. In an ideal world there’d be real consequences to them if they meandered like they usually do.

It’s not great though, happy to hear your perspective.

What’s wrong babe you’ve barely touched your PediPuree Punch

Keep saying it. Everyone agrees and yet congress doesn’t enact it 🤔 I’m just glad the oligarchs understand the will of the people better than us rabble!

I actually think a lot of people are confused because they didn’t read the article or know what community they’re in, so I’ll take the downvotes in stride.

Trans people are people too no matter which arrow you hit.

I enjoyed reading your replies to this dolt. I think they try to exhaust you by muddying the water but all he’s done is make his position look utterly stupid and exhausting.

I think his goal is to make people afraid to engage and silence others from posting? Or maybe it’s simply to waste your time. Either way, I appreciate your attempt at engaging this bad faith “I’m on your side no really” actor.

Is being a terrible person with bad takes against the rules? I haven’t checked.

The best speech he’s ever delivered

They purposefully distort information to brainwash people.

Prageru is not run by idiots - they are evil with intent and they will train the next generation to be good slaves if allowed.

Props for seeking out answers and sharing

I’ve seen some around in my city. You can spot them because they are completely plastered in makeup. It looks incredibly unnatural in person but gets filtered out by the camera.

Engagement is a two way street, you need to post something worth engaging with.

Occasionally I’ve seen a valid opinion/idea with some downvotes but there’s still usually responses that get a discussion going. Only the true shit has the massive one sided downvote ratio with, unfortunately, a few replies from people who took the bait.

You’re being downvoted because you straw manned, not sure if intentionally or not.

If your solution to a problem can fit on a bumper sticker it’s wrong.

Like…really? Do you think that this community, or anyone worth talking to, thinks that it’s that easy?

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think both of you have the same general ideas, I enjoyed reading both you and Grays thoughts.

You both argue that a heavily regulated capitalist system is preferable to current state, but you believe that is mostly impossible since the bourgeois/ruling class makes the rules and wouldn’t voluntarily self impose restrictions on themselves. How can that be prevented or mitigated within something like the American political framework?

I just loaded the front page without logging in out of curiosity. It’s utter garbage.

The timing of twitter collapse, threads paid celebrity launch, and reddit implosion feels… Very foreboding.

And bots. And sponsored content.

Tax meat, subsidize healthy meat alternatives.

lmao I didn’t know what was happening in this one for a moment

I really like Potholer54 - he doesn’t do any ads so youtube NEVER promotes his videos. He will read, cite, link all his sources and more importantly, will respond to misrepresentations of science in the media. He will usually explain the science behind the articles he sources and explain why the media gets it wrong.

I’ve also found Skip Intro is really good regarding copaganda. He has some great videos on a lot of the media I was exposed to growing up and its good to reexamine it with a more modern take. He also dunks on paw patrols which is fucking terrible.
