I think, but don’t hold me to it, they’re talking on how since China isn’t exactly democratic, things get pushed through a lot quicker, like climate policies. I wouldn’t say it’s China’s intention to look like the “green superpower”, just that it gives a better geopolitical look to China. Just to make clear, I don’t support China, and likely never will without some national revolution and major reform (cough cough, fuck the CCP), only giving my thoughts.

Dude, you’re name is joking about native American genocide, stfu

Not sure about engines, but when you “break in” a horse that doesn’t seem like much of a “rest” for the horse. More so indoctrination or submissive tactics.

“Don’t let the flame die out!”

I’ve gone through (I think) the whole Culture series of Banks. Weirdly enough, they got recommended to me by a barber when I was ~15yrs. Sweet guy, he had no tv & read a shit tonne. I love the philosophical and/or societal talking points overarching each of Banks book most, I’m awful at recalling the actual stories. There’s identity crisis in Consider Phlebas, purpose in Player of Games, excession in the aptly named Excession, the list goes on really. Plus hyper sci-fi, so a bunch of wobbly physics and warfare situations going on. If you can’t tell, I love these books lol

It’s great! Got it running on a surface laptop, integrated iris GPU, well enough using the potato setting preset (yh it’s a thing). Guns feel good, loadout system is vast, and relatively low toxicity in the community.

This, so much this. I also find it rather coincidental that fb cam out with threads soon after the twitter implosion. Opportunistic feasting on a dead carcass perhaps?

They transitioned to trying to be a “serious” platform the moment they removed the fun gaming related loading stuff.

Dude they see the light, the oil industry isn’t going to be a crutch the Saudi’s can use forever, and they know. What with the mega spending sprees for property abroad and such, it’s the usual “fuck the people, how can I escape with my cash?”

I think there’s about 3 in my city. Always seems to have people in it playing something, and event nights look more packed when I go past. But I don’t really have the friend group for that kinda thing though

Way too much logic with this approach for a game publisher/company to follow. Gotta milk every IP for all its worth, seperatley, to get the biggest cash cow’s out of the nothing burgers served.

Love using oat milk for porridge. Double oat, so oaty.

Of course the US government are going after open-source licensing. God damn bunch of public/private revolving door leeches. Any good thing in this world and their immediate reaction is " alright, but how can I extort the thing for all it’s got".
