its a death cult. other people have it better than me/us, lets burn everything to the ground. can only assume this condition has been here and there throughout history.
because there is no clear rational argument.
this is some good shit to wake up to good lord
glad i got one of those other citizenships recently. too bad its now an enemy of the US.
part of our country has allowed for a democratically elected leader of a nation being invaded, allowed him to become the villain in all this. america breaks the abject retard barrier, passes go and collects death and destruction. and this is only the preexisting conditions trump is fucking up. wait till the new shit is added to the menu. thats gotta be in months now

ate a bat? uhh huh. that code?
if you want some you can get some
we all gonna die
yeah not feeling it. the era system at its core is the problem IMO. I understand the reasons why they tried it, but its not working. It makes teh game very rigid and eliminates the randomness fun of it for me. I have to basically do the same thing over and over again in each game to get legacy points. ok i guess.
I personally thought the gold age / loyalty situation in CIV 6 was a step in the right direction. That mechanic can reduce snowballing a bit and make it harder to just take over too many cities. Now its the city cap, the crises, same same every time. Its boring honestly.
I believe more map types and more customization of them will certainly help. In CIV 6 I loved playing crowded maps in heros mode as an example of increasing the chaos/randomness of it all. Can't do any of that now, but certainly it must be coming.
i don't see any world where anyone in Europe or anywhere else trusts our country for anything at all.
If there is a new admin in 2029, a democrat lead one, something I think isn't likely because fascism, that admin will have a near mission impossible apology tour. not to mention all the change over and self sacrifice that will be done in the interim. yeah good luck with that.
I can put some value on those arguments ^ and still disagree with Russia's actions on this war. The idea that influence and security threats gives Russia a get out of jail free card is BS. they are acting as the aggressor in this situation, whether they feel justified or not doesn't matter. We take the side of the country at least trying to have a democracy and which is being invaded. well, at least we used to side with the democracies of the world. sigh what a time to be alive.
At the same time the military industrial complex can still be out of control, can still have a hand in this mess, and can still have too much power in foreign policy decisions. All these things can coexist, yellow cake and all.
hey its the purge.
plenty more of that to come
only issue is what is the profitable directive of the new armed forces? selling secrets? what else? invading canada? i am sure whatever it is it will end up being worse than whatever it is we think is bad umm k
well, i can. we put a raging narcissist in charge the most emotionally unfit, yet powerful country on earth.
we get hissy fits that work. there is no stopping them until we simply are not that powerful any longer.
its awful and thats certainly coming.
and as brisket says, don't worry, its only going to get worse.
lolfuckingL. droopy dog lavrov and putin are gonna run a train on the US and Ukraine. Hate those fuckheads all you want, but they are gonna lap up a handful of raging self centered narcissists in a negotiation of any kind. The fucking groundwork is already there and laid bare.
Poor fucking Ukraine
ok so I tried to watched a few mins of the Vance speech. Just gaslighting for the first 5 minutes there. Russia isn't the worry and democratic values, uh huh, coughs in January 6th. Just a massive F U to everyone in the room.
that'll be $9.95
Hey, its summer down this way. Hope you homies are well. I made it all the way to Saturday and so can you.
ha! yes, we are now in the fast lane. Megalomaniacs everywhere being fueled by the dumb and hopeless. Meglos eventually always bump into each other. We the people have let them take over. Now we all must pay for the foolishness of their egos. Whatever is coming will be something we haven't yet imagined. Just hope its more on the stupid side than the bloody side. Not sure what else we can do at this point but laugh it off and appreciate being unnuked
sorry man, its awful. Americans and just dumb. I've withheld that judgement for long enough but now, when you can't pay attention to anything longer than a tiktok post, it is what it is. just dumb as a box of rocks.
I've taken to calling my parents during the national news hour at 5.30. its the least I can do to keep them from watching the downfall in realtime. They are both heartbroken.
Its slow for so long, then all of a sudden its rapid. We are entering the rapid phase now. Toss on a few more catalysts, more war, terrorist attack, and rapid changes to instant and its done.
