Strategy games are great for busy adults imo. I like either Civilization or Factorio because you can compete or collaborate as desired, and in as much or as little time as you want.

Spoiler: not literally

The point I was trying to convey is that the only democratic socialist countries that I’m aware of are rich off of either abundant natural resources or rent-seeking from more exploitative countries like the US. Is it a sustainable model for poor countries too? Historically they’ve fallen into autocracy. I want it to work everywhere because I believe in justice, but I can’t prove it with math or precedent.

That global democratic socialism can work. Currently the only states successful in implementing it are oil-rich nordic countries, and I want to believe it can work elsewhere but it’ll be hard to prove.

Yep! Just slice it thin so it cooks in the oven. I do about 2mm thick slices.

I recently discovered flammkuchen, which is a thin crust pizza with creme fraiche instead of red sauce, bacon, caramelized onions, and potato. I can’t get enough!

Her grip doesn’t look quite right, maybe the symbol was swapped for the US market.

I’m sure they were safe about it

Could someone explain?

The Spine by Darren Korb and Ashley Barret, from the Transistor soundtrack. Not my kind of game honestly, I never finished it, but I keep coming back to the soundtrack ❤️

The classic love triangle was with Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, where both guys wanted the girl but were also best friends. Does that not qualify?

Oh wow, me too! In my local grocery store I can only use my phone (particularly Todoist) about five seconds at a time before the UI crashes to the lock screen. I’m on a Pixel 5 with CalyxOS.

Can we popularize the word Christianist to refer to extremist Christians? I love the symmetry.

They make shower heads with a stop too, if you were so inclined.

I know this is just a meme, but Wet Bulb 35 events terrify me.

I like that actually, a “break glass” provision in the emergency powers law! It’s so obvious in hindsight.

I agree in principle, but I’m not sure what a good alternative is in the US today. In a crisis the laws would have to stay ahead of the executive responses to novel situations, and the legislature couldn’t pass a law that fast if there was an angry mob at the door.

One can only hope!

The funny thing is, even after the 100% price increase they’re still cheaper than american EVs.

Out to sea maybe?
