More and more people are saying this.

NGL these are some pretty astounding stats, especially considering how car-brained most of Canada is. Even so, our transit usage (in major cities) completely eclipses the yanks (I have not independently verified these stats but the user seems knowledgeable enough that I did not bother).

Taken from a thread from /r/fuckcars on the topic of obesity rates between different states/provinces (the consensus was that while there are other factors at play such as diet, car-dependency seems to be the overall defining factor for obesity rates).

Ok so I've only ever played this for like one day, and I cannot seem to play for more than two hours without absolutely tanking my economy.

I'm playing as Cuba, and obviously my goal is to liberate the Cuban people from the tyranny of the landowners and Catholic church and eventually establish communism.

I've watched a couple of "complete beginner" videos on the topic, but there's almost twenty "complete beginner" videos in this series and they're all like 40 minutes long lol. This game is insanely complicated.

I've played a lot of Tropico so I am not unfamiliar with "nation building" games, but this is of course way more complex. It only dawned on me recently that the reason that the plantations that I started with weren't making me any money because they're owned by the fucking ruling class and not the state.

So, any pointers? Early on in the game what should I be focusing on? What should I build, research, etc? I've established that I need to first start a construction industry (Cuba starts with none) and build some plantations in order to get some money flowing in, but after that I'm just kind of lost. Plus the Spanish empire seems to immediately gift me Puerto Rico for reasons unknown and it's a completely impoverished backwards starving hell hole, so then I have to deal with that hot mess too.

Thanks in advance Hexbears.

What the fuck is this?

This is the second night in a row that I find myself searching online to try to figure out how to play the tutorial.

I have never before for any other games had to search up how to actually do the tutorial.

I am flummoxed.

After the first few steps it doesn't tell me anything and I'm just supposed to know how to expel the armed forces from my government?

This very much feels like "draw the rest of the fucking owl"

I was out Christmas shopping today and the woman at the till noticed my keffiyeh, came over to me and told me about their watermelon slice soap where the proceeds go to supporting mental health for Gaza's kids.

Of course I'm not normally someone to shill for companies but I thought this was a very nice gesture and very different than most bloodthirsty corporations that unapologetically support the Genocidal Entity.

Honestly I don't know the fine details or exactly what projects/groups it goes to, but if you're out Christmas shopping (last minute like I am) maybe mozy on down to Lush.

You can see how, before we even get to the arguments, just the attitude on display here is likely to provoke irritation, because it is condescending and smug. When Yglesias writes of the “socialist niece who posts obsessively about Genocide Joe,” he is not taking seriously the possibility that this woman could be correct: that she has been persuaded by the International Court of Justice filings showing evidence that Israel is engaged in genocide and posts “obsessively” because she sees genocide as morally urgent. Instead, there is an implication that this person is somehow mentally unwell. Indeed, Yglesias’s reaction to seeing a poem about the Gaza genocide is that it shows the “increasingly porous boundaries between mental illness and leftwing politics.” Setting aside the question of whether Yglesias is persuaded by the ICJ case against Israel, this is the attitude of an asshole.

We should show the same level of respect for the opinions of Matt Yglesias and his ilk that he shows for the “socialist niece who posts obsessively about Genocide Joe,” that is to say, none at all.

Found it on the bird site.

Based on the questions and the fact that they use "liberal" as an insult I'd say it's pretty safe to say that this was made by a commie lol.

It's pretty good! I think it could be flushed out with a lot more questions, but I like it in principle.

She got half of Burgerland to think that everything they don't like is Russian propaganda, that the evil Russians helped Trump steal the 2016 election, Russia Russia Russia, it's the ultimate thought-terminating cliche now. And even in the face of cold, hard evidence to the contrary (ie: Mueller report, off the top of my head) Libs just stomp their feet and insist that it's still RUSSIAAAAA!!!!!1

I guess Bill O'Riely would be the Republican equivalent of her, but his oafishness and toxic masculinity got the best of him and he ~~ended up losing everything~~ got a multi-million dollar severance package from Fox News and then faded into irrelevancy.

Seriously though, I can't think of anybody that could rival Maddow in terms of how effectively she brainwashed tens of millions of Burgerlanders into believing an absolute, absurd fantasy. You can't have anything that resembles a level-headed discussion with any Lib anymore, largely due to her influence (and others of course, but I feel like she's the most prominent figure in this regard).

Can you think of anyone that could rival her impact? Who else would be in the same league of propagandists in this day?

EDIT: Obviously I forgot to mention Tucker Carlson, but he also got kicked off Fox lol

I swear to god these are the dumbest fucking people in the world. Every single top comment is screaming about Putin and Russia. MSNBC has truly rotted their tiny brains.

Is she critical of the war in Ukraine or something? What the fuck would cause them to all scream the same obvious bullshit all in unison?

All I'm reading is that she said that "Russia has legitimate security concerns" - umm yeah no shit?

Then again, I once got accused of "peddling Russian disinformation" because I shared an article from Benjamin Norton. Jesus I just can't with these people.
