Civ 7’s Antiquity Age is fine. A different take in many ways, but it was interesting enough. The age transitions and general gameplay loop of the following ages get progressively less enjoyable though.

It would matter if I saw a single person trying to refund the game denied. Generally, when something like this happens on steam, valve gets very lax with the refund policy - just look at what happened with helldivers 2.

Sorry reality gets in the way of your corporate bootlicking 🤷🏻‍♂️

But have you considered the other platforms that aren’t GOG suck.

I want things on a platform that is either utterly unobtrusive, or useful. Unfortunately, that means either steam or GOG.

people

Without reading the article, one can very safely assume it doesn’t target white people.

unions

Article only says the UAW, which has more retired members than it does active, and a pathetically small percentage of the active automotive workforce.

I’m not super well versed in “healthy union demographics”, but a quick wikipedia perusal says the three largest US unions (National education association, service employee international union, and the american federation of state, county, and municipal employees) have between 2-15% retirees.

Something tells me the UAW is just led by chuds but what do I know?

police excelling at anything other than enforcing a state monopoly on violence

I, too, would love to live in a fantasy world

art AI imitates life imitates AI

Yep - both parents and my only sibling have done it. Thanks, guys, glad I didn’t call this a decade ago.

Not if it gets started further than a month out from the election and doesn’t mysteriously disappear immediately after

Electric motors work by inducing a magnetic field with coils of wire, so I’m sure a strong enough EMP would disrupt it temporarily, but I don’t know if it would meaningfully damage anything after the EMP ceased.

Disclaimer - not an electromagnetic scientist wizard

My understanding is that EMPs are more of a concern for the tiny electronics on computers versus relatively large motors or batteries. So, an electric vehicle is still at risk, but I don’t think it’d be any more at risk than any ICE car that’s all computerized anyways.

Dude I love the guys that are like “well WaPo isn’t reporting it and the Americans didn’t email me specifically about their plans to resist so they must all be rolling over”

Regulations? Being written for good reason? Preposterous.

I hear barotrauma is pretty much instantaneous, hell you could even send me to go work on some undersea cables for a bit and just don’t tell me when my time’s up

I don’t really support death row, but I did always wonder - do they ever ask the prisoners if they have a preference? I feel like I’d take the good ole’ guillotine over asphixiation.

The judges already have the power and legal precedent to do so. The trumplets have already demonstrated zero care about needing either of those things, so I’m really not seeing what you hope to achieve by not using one of the few legal avenues actual consequences could be enacted on the fascists is?

Whatever you let them do, they will. stop complying with fascism.

As always, it’s projection - anecdotally, the only people I have personally known to be abusing government programs have been conservative. That’s more of a quirk of “most people using government programs are poor and uneducated and therefore conservative”, but still.

Frankly I think the only thing that’d give me faith in my countrymen would be learning there’s actually truth to Musk/the repubs at large rigging the election, and that’s a long shot.

There’s already mods doing it now that are absolutely doing it better than Bethesda will.
