  I mean, every previous ES game has had the modloader as part of the launcher, allowing you to enable or disable mods as well as change their load order from there directly.

  Nationalization of critical industries is in fact a good thing, even when a shit government like the UK does it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US sees third measles-related death amid outbreaks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Measles just hit my area. I’m allergic to MMR, so if it crosses to my end of the state I’ll have to be very careful. Though I hear there’s a newer MMR that has less allergic reactions, so I might try that, but taking vaccines in a doctors office in case I go into anaphylactics isn’t an expense I can afford right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overseas Dalai Lama reincarnation ‘could not be recognised’ by Beijing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tibet was considered the last feudal system on earth. 98% of the population lived short, miserable lives. The priesthood was allowed to kidnap children and force them into service at any time. The punishment for crimes such as stealing food was severing hands and making them wear it around their neck. Literacy was near non-existent. Human rights were entirely non-existent. You clearly haven’t put much research into how the conditions were within the country, if you think anything I said above was exaggerated. The central government offered to maintain the priesthood as the seat of power, if they would end the practices of serfdom and allow education and land reform, among other things. The priesthood refused and organized militias to kill PLA soldiers who were teaching the people skills and providing food for the massively malnourished population.

  Tibet was already an autonomous part of China under the Qing Dynasty, so I’m not sure what you mean by annexed. It still is an autonomous region, but what the current government did was to end the practice of enslavement and sacrifice of Tibetans and guarantee education and healthcare to all, rather than those being restricted to the priestly class.

  The government that raised literacy to almost 100%, ensures the continuity of Tibetan language which was dying out before as only around 10% of the population was literate, developed hospitals and clinics, provides free education with massive affirmative action policies to ensure Tibetans have easier access to high education, builds modern infrastructure including high speed trains that go up into the previously inaccessible areas of Tibet? That government?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overseas Dalai Lama reincarnation ‘could not be recognised’ by Beijing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, whatever happens, the silver lining is that the Dalai Lama no longer has the power to enslave 98% of the population as was done until the 1950s.

  They don’t have to define it as a war. Previous administrations have opened the route of not declaring war but still engaging in boots on the ground assaults. The precedent has been set, long before he entered office, and reinforced by every modern president.

  No, it’s more to do with securing the arctic corridor as climate change opens up new areas for exploitation.

  Russia never agreed to the ceasefire in the first place, the version the US and Ukraine proposed and accepted was not accepted by Russia, and vice versa

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fifty-two years after a U.S. spy plane was shot down over Laos, a family still fights for answers: Did the crew all perish or were half of them LEFT BEHIND?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe don’t fly spy planes over sovereign nations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brazil condemns US after deportees arrive handcuffed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just the president. Biden deported more people than trump did in his first term, Obama deported more than any president before him. The US empire continues regardless of who is in power. The only thing that changes is whether the fox smiles before he kills you or the wolf bares its teeth.

  Imagine calling a war with lower rates of civilian death than any other war in the 21st century a genocide.

  Sanctions have not succeeded in lessening support or created regime change. They are a siege warfare tactic, and a way of inflicting suffering upon the masses of people. There’s plenty of books on the topic, I’d recommend Sanctions as War, edited by Stuart Davis and Immanuel Ness.
