Imagine being so counter culture you are scared of saying the fuck word on the internet lol
Any news about Musk ventures should inspire cynicism.
In what fucking universe are mergers and acquisitions difficult my man
Fucking despicable.
And if you think this is a just India thing, that Twitter is not trying to tip the scales toward fascists in your country’s elections, you should think again. This is important to consider wherever you are.
I thought it was a bad game and a worse made for TV movie, but I’m glad you had fun with it.
David Cage is the hackiest of hacks and wouldn’t know subtext if it punched him in the head.
See, if might makes right, then the almighty is alrighty!
Even worse, heaven is a never ending church service. An eternity of God fellation, as if that isn’t torture as well.
When were you born, 1950? Who the fuck has a pension at this point?
It can be designed ridiculously
People need to expect to pay reasonable prices on a reasonable basis for art and entertainment, and pretending everyone should be cool with fifty different streaming services and never owning anything again is its own sort of immorality and lack of ethics.
Agreed. Capital, states, etc all have issues in the same way. I just think the state can work for the people and I’m not convinced of the alternative. Both libertarians and anarchosyndicalists have some wild basically religious ideas about how everyone will basically just work together and not dick each other over because of… Social norms, I guess? I just have a hard time believing it.
It is, a lot of people just have pseudo mystical beliefs about how people will act when there is no state. They like to imagine everything bad about humans is capitalism/the state/insert Boogeyman, not that the state and laws exist because we tried the alternative and no system at all always does work out to might makes right. A warlord always moves in to fill the power vacuum.
Some people are bastards and any system you create has to be created with the explicit assumptions that people are bastards. Some people just want to believe no one is a bastard or that there are not enough bastards to hurt the reasonable people. I think those people are wildly optimistic, and removing power structures does not remove the temptation to exert power or the ability, only one specific means.
Aren’t you the guy chomping at the bit for China to take Taiwan and Hong Kong over? Like a jingoist might?
No, I am proposing that sufficiently large groups of people have some right to self determination, to only be part of nations which they choose to be part of. I’m saying Hong Kong is culturally, philosophically, and historically distinct from the People’s Republic of China at this point, and pretending they’re not is silly. You’re talking as if, like, Singapore doesn’t exist, that if any city state exists that’s somehow an absurdity.
Hong Kong has some shared history with China but not a shared philosophy. That’s why there’s the AND clause there. If you have shared history but not shared philosophy, it’s merely imperialism with a patina of historicity, i.e., “we should own this because we did at one point, regardless of the wishes of the people.” If you have shared philosophy but not shared history it may work out, but don’t be surprised when different cultures within your state react to issues in ways that are informed by their differing histories.
You are effectively saying that you don’t have an issue with colonialism, just that the wrong people were doing it before and now the right people can do it. I’m saying that the people of Hong Kong deserve self-determination if their political will is not represented in the state of the People’s Republic of China, which it will not be.
That people who desire self determination should be able to have it, that they should not be expected to be ruled by whomever is most powerful and happens to be ethnically similar. I think states should be based on a shared history and philosophy rather than ethnically segregating them to suit China.

It’s pretty alright. As a base game it’s quite good. I think releasing without mod support was a huge mistake. Wait until it has mod support and the map builder. It’s still waaaay more full featured than CS1 was, basically having the industries and mass transit DLCs bundled in.
This guy posts literally nothing but Assange spam.
If you think science fiction is laser fights in space, this opinion makes sense. If you like characters and setting, it’s probably some of the best sci fi on TV.
