“Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia. And stupidity, too. They’ve all sworn the oath, he thought, but not a man jack of ’em has even asked what a figgin is.”

He certainly knew what’s up!

Damnit this would’ve been my immediate response, too.

Brilliant :D

Hey OP, here is some serious DD you might like

The Sim X: Terror from the derp. Yeah no Jake, we want a successor to X-COM Apocalypse if you don’t mind.

I do not believe asking questions should be labeled as a crisis.

Very sound advice.

Not astonishing, as it is in line with THE major belief of conservatives, i.e. a person’s status in live determines their worth and character traits.

As an employee you are a bad person. Simple as.

Pff, just define your own cascade with @layers :)

Best advice I can give: Don’t use CSS directly, use a pre-processor like SASS/SCSS. It really helps keeping things sane and somewhat organized.

I had time to think for a bit. Please be advised that I’m not an American citizen and the following is purely conjecture.
Basically, I believe the US is FUBAR. There are 4 possible scenarios for the 5th of November:

• Trump gets so demented it’s getting impossible to get him propped up, he has to concede somewhere around that time
• Trump finally gets thrown in jail, before election day
• Biden wins - right now it looks like it would be a close call
• Trump wins

The article mentions, as many have before, that the “conservative” way of “thinking” has become purely emotional. So what do you think will happen if either of the three first will come true? Someone will seize the day and shout some bullshit conspiracy or another and now 20-30% of your emotionally driven population will get set to “angry” and “revenge”.
If he simply wins: Mission accomplished!

Now that I’ve thought a bit more, even (maybe especially?) if Biden wins in a landslide, the conspiracy spin could even be made stronger. Yikes. It might be the time of troubles on a very large scale and I reaaaaaaaaaly hope I’m totally wrong with all this!

Been here since Europe got flooded with AOL CDs, same.

The game itself is great, the UI/UX is just on another level. The UI has no ambiguity, is very responsive to input and just feels smooth. The wording on the cards is also excellent and consistent.

StS is a joy to play and I bet it’s also really great on the Steam Deck.

Is there some kind of conversion rate? Like each discovered tunnel justifies 1,000 more dead or something?

It’s in the revised “wormhole aliens” edition .

OT:
I can’t find the critique of this movie from a classicist viewpoint anymore. That was one interesting read.

Just 5 comments ATM and already an Archer reference, keep it up lemmy <3

Will do that, gladly.
