Rimworld, Vicky 2, Ck2, Hoi4, Eu4, Fallout 1 2 3 and New Vegas, Morrowind, Skyrim, and currently Vintage Story. My tastes are damned good profligates can you say the same?!

Edit: Also Total Warhammer.

Well I’m either getting raped by a deathclaw, get to exist in the same universe as Dagoth Ur, or WELCOME TO ESTALIA GENTLEMEN!

I’m fucked regardless so ya might as well send me in with those backed by Faith, Steel, and Gunpowder!

I know there’s some animal fossils in New Zealand that date back to its colonization by the ancestors of the Maori, so about the 1400s. Though I don’t know if they are partially or fully fossilized.

Also I’m pretty sure losing folks to stupid wars in England didn’t help, the Great Heathen army and the conquest of England by Sweyn Forkbeard come to mind. No the relative prosperity and peace of Cnut the Great doesn’t make up for the theoretical brain drain.

Folks are just as likely to go after those in power, also we are talking about Americans here. The Feds have been a boogie man for decades it’s entirely possible that the fascists lose control because they can’t hold the narrative to protect Trump and the centralization of power.

Remember Trump didn’t gain more voters between 2020 and 2024, he has reached market saturation for voters. I suspect that that is true for total support as well.

The Soviet Union was the closest to getting to this ideal. The problem they had with achieving was technological in nature, were they capable of more modern forms of communication they could have possibly achieved it. Don’t know if Russia is still trying to do it or not.

Honestly I’m hoping the economic consequences are so severe that it cripples fascism. Basically if everyone’s unemployed and angry the ability to control folks becomes questionable at best.

Good, people thrive when they can acknowledge their failures. I hope he gets pushed into mind breaking anguish I want him to be pushed to his emotional limits and either do mankind a favor and remove himself or reforge himself better.

I feel sorry for their mechanics.

So for quick context the reason why it’s present in foods specifically plants is because the plants naturally leach it up.

Sure if they physically damaged the hard drive, though at that point the failure and the code were largely unrelated. Though if they were using a computer with an SSD only I would have no clue. Assuming they aren’t lying id have to look at the computer physically, perhaps even pry it open to see if there’s any noticable damage.

There’s also the possibility that they are just stupid and overheated their CPU by having too many apps open. Then they blamed their hard drive overheating because they are stupid.

I had it happen to a random hard drive I bought, old bastard found in a bin at a local thrift store. Anyways had a big dent in it and while it started up, even booting into windows XP it cooked itself made a screeching noise and was hot to the touch. Don’t think I need to explain that the big dent was probably the source of the overheating, anyways had to use an oven mitt to relocate it to a metal bucket of water where it boiled for a minute.

Also most blue states are on the coast or have water access of some type (New Mexico and Colorado not withstanding) meaning that if ya really want to fuck with red states you could just ignore interstate trade laws. Let’s see any of these states function when trade is bottlenecked.

Libraries are a scam if they weren’t they’d still have VHS rentals.

My brain is so poisoned that all I heard when I saw this image was “Markus Wulfhart” army movement noise

Mine has been boiling since childhood but is impotent due to the fact that those in my reach would be neither cathartic or useful. This whole load of bullshit is not helping, can we just get to the civil war portion so I can find out if PTSD is a stacking modifier or if im immune to new forms of it.

Sure the simplest reason is that you don’t need to have civil matters centralized just to maintain that rapid military response. Ideally the commander in chief and executive branch would both be elected but separate positions for example. You don’t need a strong executive branch you just need a well working system, sure it’s technically easier to have it under an executive but easy doesn’t mean good.

Also it seems like more traditional bomber dropped nukes will take over once more, this means that the point is just to get them in the air before worst comes to worst. Most of the needed resources will already be assembled where needed meaning it doesn’t much matter if the executive even exists still since everything should’ve been set up long before then.

My point is that the reasoning is flawed since it assumes that the most effective action is to have a strong centralized power. When ideally you’d want a well maintained decentralized network of response facilities.

The thing is they’re fucking over everyone military included, sure they could theoretically give guns to untrained morons but that’s only so effective. Also I kinda doubt there are enough mud boots to lock down LA let alone every city. There may be a million active military personnel but a solid majority of that is support staff that would be hard to shift around if not impossible.

That’s all just looking at the basic military aspect. Plenty of them own property but that’s kinda meaningless if the enforcement mechanics also break down. I doubt any of them have billions in physical assets and yet again would any of it be worth anything could they enforce their ownership properly or would their own security start stripping the copper from the walls.

Also when empires collapse it’s never for one reason, and the US has many reasons. Don’t believe the hype of the rich, they have nothing of worth short of their organs in a collapse scenario of any type.

Didn’t mean to be a dick, just been hearing similar shit for years. Folks will say anything to justify their authoritarian shit.

Specifically his ego, Musk is such a weakling that he sees ANY attack on Tesla as an attack on himself. That may be the point basically using the cars as proxy but the fact he legit gets so upset about it means it’s working. Also as I need to remention Musk is such a fucking weak little bitch that he gets sad when folks burn something his company produces.
