It’s so good! Inspired by Disco Elysium but in a fantasy setting.

They’re still blockading Iran’s ports

I thought this was an Onion story when I saw the first headline.

Amazing to see the Boomer Humor live on in another generation.

Just as one example of how stupid these policies are: Corpus Christi is facing a generational water crisis mostly because the oil and gas industry has been expanding so rapidly there.

Lots of things about American political discourse are infuriating, but this is def one of the worst. Republic administrations are so much worse for inflation that it’s almost laughable to see this opinion shared around. Kind of wild how politics is all vibes and memes I guess.

You just listed like eight examples of minority languages being protected in Europe. What is the threshold you’re searching for here to prove that minority language and culture are, at least sometimes, treated differently in Europe? I’m in no way suggesting that these issues are being dealt with perfectly anywhere in the world, or that Europe doesn’t have plenty of examples of minority populations being mistreated, but I think it’s kind of strange to argue that China isn’t engaging in some form of ethnic cleansing. Especially when it comes to Tibet and the Uyghur people. The Chinese government is using policies like this to intentionally suppress the culture and language of minority populations.

Both things can be true; Europe has an imperfect record when it comes to treatment of ethnic minorities, and China is targeting certain ethnic minority populations under the guise of “assimilation”.

She actually has not taken AIPAC money, nor has she received an endorsement from them. I’d suggest that you do a little research before you start throwing accusations around but you know, you do you, baby!

I think her stance on Israel is more complicated than that.

They’re both good candidates; neither is perfect, but it’s refreshing to have a hard time choosing tbh. We need more folks like this to get in these races.

Sure studio/publisher consolidation is trashing AAA development but I’d argue that the opposite is true of the indie scene - more and better games than ever.

Also, hasn’t public-sector hiring been flat for decades? Not even counting the recent DOGE bullshit? This workforce has been aging out with nobody replacing them, and the remaining folks have to do more and more, pushing more people out to private-sector jobs. Just not sure how useful this data is by itself, except as another indicator of U.S. government in decline

I really think that the defining difference is related to empathy. Either you are wired in a way to feel empathy towards “others”, or you aren’t. Most people who identify as conservative see those others as dangerous, and are unable to relate to their experience, or to imagine shared values.
