  That’s fair and a much better response than mine above. I’m just a bit disenfranchised from it all, especially the non action and non voting suggestions of many on the left.

  But you are right, it’s basically a center right and a far right party, and that super sucks and needs to be complained about a lot.

  Someone I worked with had a great rage quit. He worked his ass off for the whole year doing insane overtime and sacrificing way too much for a thankless corporation. When it came to raise time, my boss gave him a 0% raise, citing that he already made more than average/benchmark.

  After that meeting he just left. He left all his work stuff on his desk, he didn’t tell anyone he wasn’t coming back from lunch time ish. It took a full month before they stopped paying him, and my boss would come around almost every day to ask if anyone knew where he was or how to contact him. I think they just assumed he was blowing off steam and would come back, meanwhile he moved to another city.

  I assume all those “vote third party both side same” people were bots or Russian trolls. Obviously trump was always gonna be way worse

  Cool! I’ll try it out. The trailer has some severance energy to it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I really enjoy that kinda mid game, where a slightly longer drought or bad water would really mess you up, but it kinda falters shortly after that and becomes solved.

  I want them to do what Factorio did and make the end game stuff (rockets) feed you into what becomes the early-mid game. Like make water the whole map" or have “insanely deep water” or some resources that are hard to make the requirement to do the NEXT thing, which should be so big the whole map you were worried about becomes a little trivial

  I’ve played a fair bit of timberborn, and it’s a great city builder! I get obsessed for the first dozen or so hours of a settlement but it’s always fallen a little flat in the more later-game parts.

  I’m hopeful that their continually adding content keeps it fresh deeper into the game. The mechanics and aesthetics are great

  A super fun counter argument I heard once is that if it’s intelligent design, surely it’s not for humans. The universe is BIG with lots of empty space, lots of massive elements to it. Surely it was designed for something much bigger than humans.

  The term snake oil is actually especially fitting for this, due to its origins.

  In Britain in the 1700s there was a somewhat common recommendation for using rattlesnake oil from the fat of the snake for skin diseases/rheumatism. The efficacy is debated but it’s got some amount of potential for change (if not help).

  This turned into people in the US selling mineral oil as “snake oil” as a total panacea. So a product that actually could do stuff being used as the poster child for a completely useless product that can solve every issue ever, buy as much as you can today.

  Snake oil indeed.

  I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. I mean, Trump is just the marketing of a president. All sizzle, no steak. He has appeared in debates but it’s a huge stretch to say he’s shown up well in them.

  In fact, a lot of politics are purely a popularity contest these days, aren’t they?
