Congratulations, I think this is the most obnoxious Lying Day prank I’ve ever seen.

Getting your opposition to do that while remaining calm is a great rhetorical tactic. Especially if they rage out with little that directly ties their outburst to you being “unreasonable”.

How 'bout just ‘Tram’ for the on ground on and ‘Air Tram’ for the suspended ones? This making Motor Tram the non-cable variant.

Current generations despise our society. It’s just a matter of despising it enough to want our leader’s heads on pikes.

Middle of the road public transit in the European context is likely better than the best available in the American context, which would be from NYC. Then there’s the matter of sub-urban sprawl in the USA; it’s illegal to make walkable, reasonable to live in, places in this dystopian pit. The few that still exist are dramatically better places to live than just about anywhere else in the country but our corporate masters simply do not care.

Sounds like a good incentive to make small EMPs or malware to screw with them.

Honestly, I’ve never really liked the expeditions to begin with. I’m only doing it because something’s broken on my main save preventing me from getting a bioship and the end reward from this one is a bioship.

The whole ‘start again without any of the stuff you’ve spent days/weeks/months/years procuring’ has never been appealing to me on it’s own but Hello Games tends to be good at coming up with extrinsic rewards for putting up with it.

Alright, that makes two moons where I’ve tried and failed to find all the animals. I’ve got some nanites so I guess I’ll just go to the anomaly and get what I can afford.

tRump will probably instruct her to do that because the world’s worst apocalyptic death cult is itself a useful weapon for the few ideologies that are worse than itself.

You know, that applies when we had either or both of 1) an executive branch that gave a damn about the rule of law, 2) a legislative branch that would hold the executive accountable if they did not. We have neither now. It’s the 30s again and the rich and powerful just did their ‘break glass in case of dropping profit’ option again. Except this time we don’t have either of the major players we did last time to put it down.

I agree entirely. It’s impressive the act of deception that produced a nation so anti-socialist while looking at it’s own history it’s been the socialist who’ve done the most for the people.

Yeah, the sadistic ratchet-effect of American politics. D Party moves nanometers in the right direction, R Party moves kilometers in the wrong direction, D Party moves nanometers from the new center, repeat until… well this shite.

I appreciate that you’ve got some hope for our rotted out system. I don’t. The only hope for the future I see is a present in flames.

That being said, while I don’t think there’s any hope of reform the point I was making was that incrementalism has brought us tRump while bold action, not even revolution, almost a century ago staved off fascism for this long. If I’m mistaken and reform is possible I find it wholly inconceivable that it would be brought by the incrementalists, rather it would come by some stroke of luck that someone like Sanders… probably a bit harsher than him would attain high office and force positive change like FDR did.

I don’t think anyone wants the conditions of a revolution or the immediate aftermath thereof but it is a question of how bad would that be in the short-term verses how bad will it be in perpetuity, barring revolution at some later date. As is I couldn’t morally justify bringing kids into this apocalyptic hellscape.

The people of Vietnam rebelled against their French overlords with effectively nothing but their chains to begin with and then fought off a superpower to keep their independence. The people of Cuba deposed a fascist tyrant from similar destitution. It’s not easy but it’s entirely possible no matter how totalitarian the state is.

Honestly, we’ve had the “little steps in the right direction” off and on for eight decades now. Look where it’s gotten us.

• When was the last time a powerful politician gave a damn about the poor rather than going on about the “middle class”?
• Where have all our Unions gone?
• Has the federal government ever done anything even approaching the scale of change needed to address Climate Change?
• What’s happened to our infrastructure?
• Where has our freedom gone? Has it taken peace with it when it left?

We’ve already lost everything that could be said for the United States being good, setting aside any claims of greatness entirely, and have lost almost everything that would qualify it as decent. The politicians have realized they can get the votes of some of the people who want change by branding themselves incrementalists and then putting indefinitely many increments between what we have now and meaningful change.

Contrast with history. When has incrementalism ever worked for us? We got the New Deal from one President who knew how to lead. He didn’t give us a 1/2*Xth measure of making the American economy work for the workers. No, he got as much as possible then died wanting to do more.

This can/will likely be truthfully said about every tRump appointee. Mango Mussolini should’ve met the same fate as default Mussolini, not be rewarded with a second time trying to put the nation into a nosedive.

So, exactly what is to be expected from the new Nazis. Wholly unsurprising, however still something that everyone should be aware of.

Why are we assuming there is a why to the universe? Most of us don’t look at natural phenomena and truly wonder why. We may use that word erroneously but what is being wondered is “how”.

Modern headlights are blinding to anyone not in the vehicle using them. Oncoming headlights if you’re in anything shorter than whatever is producing them makes it near-impossible to see the road.

Truly disgusting. The culture of genocide, slavery, and colonialism with only the thinnest veneer of decency haphazardly draped over it and people who could see through the big lie about it become entangled in its trappings for fucking what?

Ah, yes another example of the exceptional moral fiber of the religious. The higher standard that the religious hold themselves and their leaders to that makes all of us atheists look bad…

Oh wait that’s never the case. They use their vile faith as a shield from the consequences of their own abhorrent actions. Seriously, can someone differentiate faith and infectious disease for me?
