There are a lot of people who use the term proudly too, for what it’s worth.

Edit: nevermind, I misread. Yeah your point stands.

Interesting. I have been looking for something to scratch the Populous itch for a long time.

It’s intolerable, I don’t know why anyone is okay with getting posts from the algorithm shoved in their feed.

I wonder that too. And if it’s so close, why not sell it as a competitor instead of trying to pass it off? Legitimately curious.

I feel like it should have been clear to everyone since at least 9/11 and the aftermath but no one in leadership has made the obvious case that renewables are great for national security and not just the environment. Really shameful loss for humanity.

Yeah and it would be a great precedent - if we could trust SCOTUS AT ALL to rule consistently.

Carry water chop wood

Huh new subgenre? I always considered it already part of the well-established genre of narrative driven walking simulators.

Yeah the country has been an oligarchy for a lot longer than most people realize

I mean as a world leader, I wouldn’t be super jovial when discussing the normalization of assassinating world leaders.

Voting is only one of the crucial checks protecting democracy, unfortunately most of the others have been compromised too.

It’s almost like they don’t actually care about the things they promised before Brexit

I took so many pictures of Fernsehturm, it’s so photogenic.
