  • See, this is the thing that people outside America don’t understand.

    They are intentionally trying to trigger civilian uprisings/civil war. It wouldnt be a giddy happenstance, its their actual purpose.

    Its why they’ve deployed ICE, Its why ICE is given carte blanch to brutalize and disappear people at a whim. Its why they’ve dismantled any oversight that could stand against them and interupt them.

    and they are getting quietly furious that its not working.

    because they want the excuse to declare martial law. to give the order to kill American citizens to the military, and to cull anyone that wouldnt follow the order. To declare no elections, to make Trump the figure head for the rest of his meager life, with the real power being the billionaires that own the Republicans and the chopping up of the country into oligarchical fiefdoms not to dissimilar to Russia.

    and its why people are focused on peaceful pressure. it infuriates and stymies their plans.



  • I’d argue that SC4 is still the best city builder, even better than Cities Skylines 1 (definitely better than the bullshit sundae that is Cities Skylines 2).

    Congrats on getting it working on linux, I’ve never gotten that far with it personally…

    How did you manage?

    God what I wouldnt give for a remaster of SC4, just enough work to get it working on modern OS without issue, maybe change the engine to 64bit if at all feasible for more ram awareness.

















  • This is the problem with the Democratic Party.

    its not a Party. Its 37 parties in a trenchcoat, and there is no unifying idealism, goal, or outlook that binds them to singular purpose outside of the 2 party system crushing all the non-extrem-right-wing people together into the not-extreme-right-wing party (that is slowly becoming more and more right wing because of all the right wing people being forced into it due to the 2 party system)

    You have some people, that genuinely care about the people and think its governments job to serve them, like Mamdani, and AOC, and Bernie Sanders (Who is technically Independent, but is basically a Democrat in everything but affiliation label, since he’s always worked so close with them)

    Then you have some people that don’t think trans people should have rights/exist, and should be put in prison, but don’t want to actively hunt them for sport, which makes them too lefty liberal for Republicans.

    Then you have the actual Republicans like Fetterman, Sinema, and Manchin, who are actual Republicans running as democrats just to act as saboteurs on any democratic vote or cohesion.

    and a whole big spectrum from shit to okay in between.
