That is the whole point: to keep your mind occupied with stuff like this, so they don’t notice how the ruling class is raping the planet and stealing the fruits of your labour. Culture war so you forget the class war. We must still fight this battle, but it is important to remember what they are trying to cover up with this, and attack them for it, as well.

Okay, now you’re truly fucked.

Yeah?

You murricans and your weird units. In Europe, we use the lettuce!

Conservative values

I don’t think the dollar values in their accounts have eroded. Or where you meaning something else?

“Leader of the free world” 🤡

Yeah I know. I had a much longer comment all written out, but after reading it, it was just too depressing and I deleted most of it.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz

He won’t be around for much longer anyway. His chancellorship will effectively end december 16th with a vote of no confidence. The one who will likely succeed him (Friedrich Merz, CDU) will do less then nothing for the environment anyway.

What difference would it even make if they attended this useless greenwashing feel-good event, if that attendence never seems to be followed up by any meaningful action?

The 4B movement predominantly sees transgender rights movements as incompatible with feminism

Interesting, that his since been deleted from the Wikipedia article.

not understanding why I’d have to kill everyone around after making this choice (Maman Brigitte for instance)

That actually happened to me, too. Luckily, I didn’t mind too much, but yeah, it was a bit of a surprise.

Love it to pieces. Paid absolutely no attention to it before it was released, and due to some friendly advice from an online mate, waited a few months before picking it up, when most of the really bad bugs were already ironed out.

I love pretty much everything about it:

• The score. The music is just so fantastic.
• The settings. Brilliant. Any RPG that isn’t set in a plain vanilla fantasy world already has a big advantage when it comes to my affection, but this setting is just super cool.
• The representation. Absolutely not in-your-face, yet so much there.
• The world building. I think they paid absolutely absurd attention to details, like “where does everyone’s food come from” and “where does everybody’s garbage go”.
• The story. I like it.
• The characters. They feel relatable and their motivation makes sense, which is not always the case in many games. I find myself caring about (some of) them.
• The quests. I like them.
• The combat. It started out okay, but now, it is so much fun. I absolutely love what they have done with it after 2.0. I love being able to actually throw people at each others. I love the various melee finishers. I love the cyberware. I love using the wrist rocket launcher to blow up attacking cars. I love being able to throw knifes and axes without constly having to craft more. I love all of it.
• The mods. I love what dedicated modders have done to make a good game into a really really great game. There are such fantastic mods for this game, it keeps bogging my mind.

So yeah, love it to pieces, and absolutely one of my all time favorite games.

In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.

I actually really liked that, too. Fudge the critics!

“they can’t rely on the left to support them”

Worse, they do not want to. That would be bad for their billionaire buddies. The same buddies that funnel untold millions to both parties at the same time, to ensure they get what they want either way.

I had not heard of this book. I just read the interview, both parts, and I must say, I did not think it possible, but I think I love Nana Visitor even more now. I will definitly buy and read her book.

But will he make sure you guys keep the lead pipes? They are essential for good health!

If you want to horse around, I think I have two coconuts in the trunk.

Do you even joust, bro?

To be honest, I thought that trailer was very weak. I am not sure it would make me pick up the game if it was free - and I loved the original VtM:BL.

Like Milei’s strategy, Trump advisors see a leaner, stripped-down bureaucracy as the key to long-term national wealth.

I rather suspect that “national wealth” would have to be interpretedas their personal wealth, not the wealth of the nation or any of its non-billionair populace. Policy by billionairs for billionairs.
