You forgot “I used to be a liberal until radical leftists started putting people up against the wall for mistakenly using the wrong pronouns. So really, it’s your fault that I changed my screen name to 14Pepe88, changed all my opinions about vaccines, want to abolish the income tax, and am now okay with concentration camps at Gitmo. So, like, now I’m a full-blown centrist, and you have only the Marxists to blame.”

And those are just the officials who have been caught by law enforcement.

I say, open season on the voters themselves as well- by everyone. Out them to their families, employers, religious groups- go wild.

If you insist on non-violence, why are we not seeing more cyberwarfare? Ransomware. MITM attacks. Social engineering. Catfishing. Expose the thousands of pedophiles in the GOP- politicians AND voters. Disrupt or intercept communication. Hit them financially. Protests are easily ignored. Cyberattacks aren’t.

Out-tech these guys. Outsmart them. Even the clever, crafty alt-right assholes at the end of the day aren’t PARTICULARLY bright. The “left” in the US, such as it is, is very much not living up to its self-proclaimed intelligence relative to the right.

Sounds like it’s time to try something that isn’t as easily ignored.

This is the part where Americans shirk responsibility by telling me “you first” and then telling me “then keep your mouth shut” when they hear I’m not from the states- which is 1) hilarious coming from Americans and 2) helps them to go on pretending someone else will come to save them.

Hey, Beavis. He said “fat nut.” Heheheheh.

Cool.

I don’t quite know yet. I’ve played every Civ game since I started on the first with my dad when I was about 11 years old- and I’ve loved every iteration for different reasons.

I’m approaching this one kind of the same way as always- I’m playing it kind of leaning on what I know about the franchise as a whole rather than trying to understand every more granular system, because a lot of things change while all the patches start rolling in and the expansions release. I play each new game sort of the same way I played the previous one, learning the new systems by making mistakes.

It’s early enough that I still don’t really understand most of the new systems- I will say that I am enjoying it just about as much as I enjoyed 5 and 6 at launch, but less than I enjoyed 4 at launch. Fully tricked out 5 and 6 are both excellent as far as I’m concerned, and I’m thinking this one has potential to get there.

Having said all that, I absolutely HATE the “Civ-switching” mechanic. It very much takes me out of the game. We’ll see how that develops.

If you genuinely believe in this and haven’t taken action, you’re a huge coward.

You boys aren’t nerds, are you?

Because this isn’t the nerd taxi.

“Tyranny” over the people doing nothing but handwringing. The majority could at least try to make it harder for them?

Not sure, but someone’s probably going to find me on the 8th hole wrapped in plastic.

Supermarket jalapeños these days are really lacking in heat- I’ve done zero research on this but 15, 20 years ago they had much more of a kick.

I put Avowed down last week after finishing up the first map- no reason, I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, but for some reason am finding it hard to pick back up again.

Been screwing around with Civilization 7 this week, dipping my toes into Pikmin 4 (still not sure how it suits me but I like its uniqueness), and playing through Final Fantasy VI on my retro handheld.
