Yeah, I made the candies look more shiny with red lead dust, so what if your kids keep dying? capitalist-laugh

I think it's more a horizon zero dawn scenario, where they modernize the military with drones and AI until there's a bug in the code, and oops our killer bots have wiped out the biosphere. When the only reason the killer bots were being used was for corporations to wage minor wars against each other in the pursuit of increasingly smaller ecological niches.

capitalist-laugh sure right after we get the line up a little bit higher. Maybe in 3 or 4 decades, you know after I'm dead and buried.

Probably in my late teens. My parents were pretty dull meat and potatoes type. My dad never spoke about politics and my mum was fervently anti communist (and to this day refuses to believe communism can ever work, just look at the Soviet union and china! Oh china is only beating us now because they're becoming more capitalist!) so I was pretty conservative or libertarian. Because you know no world experience. I distinctly remember super hating green arrow in the justice League unlimited cartoon when I was like 18. Oh a big leftie who wants government to help people? What a joke of a hero!

Thankfully working and participating in a union, getting a degree in history from professors that seemed fairly liberal but not really in favour of capitalism or communism. Also my major concentration in history was military history (such a cliche I know sorry) but specifically ended up with lots of classes on the Soviet Union. Which made me more amenable to seeing other sides of coin. Learning that much of the popular western tropes about Soviet participation in the war were utter fabrications really helped introduce me to the concept that the west was desperately trying to reframe history around how the Soviets were incompetent and only won because the west was so awesome.

Disillusionment with Obama becoming a complete joke of a president, not accomplishing much of anything and the discovery pseudo left gaming spaces online helped guide me further towards things while I also fell into the Chapo subreddit and was introduced to how leftists are always right and we need to become communists or else everything is fucked. I think the west wing thing podcast helped alot as well.

Elbows up though right Mike Myers? Fuck anyone who thought this banking scum bag would be good for anyone but the richest in society.

Oh I haven't read his book that reveals he does care about doing the right thing? Really because it seems like he's a fucking banker and doing the right thing will always be making sure the economy and business is supported before the actual people in the nation get support and only if he can figure out some genius play to make both happen at the same time can normal people get any assistance.

Typical lib shit whereby they can never just do the good thing, they have to give us a lesson on why doing the good thing is bad because x. Where x is usually "companies and rig people lose money".

Alternating between horizon forbidden west and my Kotor 2 playthroughs (playing along with more civilized age, so I'm doing light and dark side).

Finished lies of P Overture, and it's really great. The initial release was insanely overtuned and boss would basically kill you in a single hit. They added difficulty modes so turning it down did result in you surviving two attacks but that was it. The patch that came out after week basically fixed them below new game plus 3, so you didn't have to perfect parry their entire movement to win the fight. I liked it and it establishes some more cool lore for that setting.

Damn I barely made it through one playthrough of the game. The gameplay is good, but they constantly are burying it under horrible exposition, and what passes for a joke to gearbox, and terrible pseudo open world levels that make you learn for the days of the corridor shooter. Don't even get me started on that God awful home base hub ship that seems designed to frustrate you. it's not big but suffers from one of the worst cases of "big town problems" than most RPGs with actual big towns.

I do love me some numbers go up though so maybe I'll dip into Tina's wonderlands some more.

I'm sorry but maybe-later-kiddo this is obviously fake.

Everyone knows North Korea doesn't get the sun. It is always perpetually overcast to give the nation a doom and gloom look to it. Everyone knows the people of North Korea haven't ever experienced happiness and if they do they are taken by a commissar of emotional regulation and given 5 minutes to control their outbursts before they are killed and sent to work in a gulag.

Fully expect Carney to cave and cancel the tax. All the ghouls don't like it anyways, scares the corporations away, and we can't have them threatening the economy after all. Goodness no. The austerity will just have to be 20% more expensive as a result. Sorry poor people your dental care is cancelled.

Yeah unfortunately that is a new attack Avenue available against women. They can just ask a LLM to generate fake revenge porn of someone. They don't even need the modicum of skill to produce fake shit these days. The internet truly needs to be banned from everyday use.
