It used to be a bag of chips was a 3-4 bucks and it was a weeks worth of snacks. Now it significantly cuts into my food budget to get anything like that.

At some point, I just asked if I'd rather have a bag of chips or like 3-4 extra ingredients to season my regular meals.

The quote means something like this: "Religion is used as a way to escape the crushing reality of the world and dull the meaninglessness of being a common person"

Imagine if you broke your leg. You'd very much welcome some opium (or painkillers in a modern setting) but we all know the solution is to go to the hospital and get it fixed. Marx is warning against mistaking the lack of pain for healing.

Religion is a way to soothe the pain of capitalism/feudalism but it would be better for that pain not to exist.

Yes, the bourgeoisie are bad. Ergo ex factorio, all bad things are bourgeoisie.

What do you know, another mayo refusing to eat something because it has a strong flavor.

Have you ever tried non-seasoned beans? May as well be a literal cracker with how tasteless they are.

"People play ham-fisted political commentary on current reality to escape from reality. "

I always side with Graham but I think Daniel is a solid choice as well.

The White Legs devolve into raiding parties or are wiped out regardless of the ending. The reason why Daniel is correct is that the increasing militancy leads to conflicts between the Dead-horses and the Sorrows, the two tribes friendly to you. As long as there are two war-like tribes in Zion, it will be a place of war. Getting the Sorrows out of Zion isn't necessarily good, but it leads to both of the tribes avoiding conflict.

The problem with leading the Sorrows in war is not that destroying the White Legs is bad, it's that you doom them to same warish behavior of all the other factions. Is land worth killing for if you can live without warfare somewhere else? Even if it is, is it worth the risk that the tribe will view war and violence as a solution to all future problems? We very well could have created the next White Leg faction by giving the Sorrows a reason to use violence.

No age limit, you could literally be 80 at my door in a walker and you'd still get candy.

It's not like Candy is a valuable resource, if they want to dress up to get some M&M's then more power to them.

The amount of young people who would pay almost double to get something delivered instead of just taking the 5 minute drive is borderline insane.

Young folks do not like any aspect of social interaction anymore. I don't blame them too much but god does it suck.
