As I said before, that sort of change is going to take longer than the few months we have left before the election. Right now the choice is Biden or Trump for the next term. It sucks, but that is what it is. Don’t forget the down-ticket elections too.

What do you mean the next few months? Hasn’t Biden been president for almost four years?

It’s the same thing with the Washington Generals, they’re playing their hearts out out there on the court but the opposition is both composed of better players and is willing to use every tool at their disposal in order to win.

Move the Radio Free Asia one to the good pile. I like that one.

And now, the people of Donetsk and Luhansk can live quietly without fear of nazi missiles blowing up their city centers for no reason.

This part’s not actually true yet.

The Last Ringbearer came out in 1999. It was a Russian LOTR fanfiction from the perspective of Mordor. In it the “orcs” are just normal humans who are dehumanized by the men of the west. It was a pretty big deal in the former USSR. So it probably wasn’t you.

In this war the term Orc was popularized by an english tweet from Azov about greasing up their bullets to deal with Chechen orcs. So originally the term orc only applied to Chechens (and probably other Muslims in the Russian Federation).

They’re not dying from zombie bites, they’re dying with zombie bites.

I know, he was an absolute stand-out and Canada’s standing ovation for a honest-to-god Nazi shocked a friend I know from being both anti-west and anti-Russia to being full on Death to America (and the west) mode.

I really doubt the western MIC can actually develop something like that.

I know that, my tone was probably a bit too sardonic there. I completely agree that Azov (and friends) are all Nazis or neonazis, it’s just their image in western media that I was trying to make fun of.

I was mostly looking for something else I could show to libs to prove that the west is unambiguously supporting Nazis (again). There’s something about Hunka being a member of the actual historical Waffen-SS and swearing an oath to Adolf Hitler that makes libs not be unable to deny that he’s a Nazi.

That’s Azov, they’ve had their image rehabilitated into being either not-nazis or being the good kind of Nazi (the kind that fights the Russians) depending on which lib media you listen to. I was thinking the UK had applauded one of the original members of the Waffen-SS. They haven’t yet been rehabilitated in most western countries. You also missed my favorite picture from this.

Wait, when did the UK have their standing ovation for the Waffen SS?

You should probably pay your taxes. Those bombs are largely funded by the government (really the banks) printing money. What your taxes do is prevent that money printing from causing too much inflation. That’s also the reason the US government really supports the petrodollar, it spreads the inflation out amongst everybody using the petrodollar instead of just US citizens.

Regardless, the IRS can really fuck you up. You’re just in such a position of weakness relative to the US government.

The Jewish Autonomous Oblast flag was a very nice touch.

They mobilized a mod of r/Ukraine recently.

Why wouldn’t the workers be allowed to become part of the party?

I picture choosing them as being something you unlock through some sort of metacurrency pretty early on.

Some thoughts.

1. Retiring is rather idealistic for a cyberpunk game. I would name the button something else. “End life” would work but might be a bit bleak.
2. Having 12 hours for recreation sounds really nice but I don’t think that’s really what’s intended. I think split it up into sleep, chores, and commute. Still the same 12 hours but now split into thematic components.
3. All the lives are a bit samey. I think adding a random trait would really help things stand out. The random trait would be something mildly beneficial like reduced need for sleep, faster leveling for a specific skill, being healthier, or something like that. Early game you get one random trait and that’s it. Later you can get upgrades that let you select from multiple traits or even get more than one at once. Maybe you can even level the traits and that’s another method of progression.

Edit: It’s also a bit weird that you don’t need to eat. Maybe make a 0 cost default food? DoleStarch? AdvertStarch?

Edit2: If free time doesn’t give any benefits it should also be renamed. Maybe change it to “unallocated” time.

If people fighting for their freedom against a totalitarian regime is your definition of unnecessary then maybe you should reevaluate your political opinions.

Is the totalitarian regime the side with or without elections?

A European commissioner also threatened Georgia’s prime minister with Fico’s fate.

Here is some “propaganda” for you to refute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Iran

Following the pro-Shah coup d’état that overthrew the Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, the Shah again cracked down on his opponents, and political freedom waned. He outlawed Mosaddegh’s political group the National Front, and arrested most of its leaders.[13] Over 4000 political activists of the Tudeh party were arrested,[14] (including 477 in the armed forces), forty were executed, another 14 died under torture and over 200 were sentenced to life imprisonment.[13][15][16]

During the height of its power, the shah’s secret police SAVAK had virtually unlimited powers. The agency closely collaborated with the CIA.[17]

According to Amnesty International’s Annual Report for 1974–1975 “the total number of political prisoners has been reported at times throughout the year [1975] to be anything from 25,000 to 100,000.”[18]

Wow, that is super fucked up. I hope somebody overthrows the Shah.
