It’s from Guards! Guards! :)

“Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia. And stupidity, too. They’ve all sworn the oath, he thought, but not a man jack of ’em has even asked what a figgin is.”

GNU TPratchett.
He certainly knew what’s up!

Damnit this would’ve been my immediate response, too.

Well, this is actually the easy mode. On hard you see lettuce next to a politician’s face.

Brilliant :D

Hey OP, here is some serious DD you might like

The Sim X: Terror from the derp. Yeah no Jake, we want a successor to X-COM Apocalypse if you don’t mind.

I do not believe asking questions should be labeled as a crisis.

Very sound advice.

And a million years after the skies have darkened we’ll realize there is a whole universe to kill… wait, I’ve read that storyline somewhere.

Sadly I am waaaay too stupid for those. Couldn’t get clingo to move some animals across a river within a certain ruleset :[

Also, I’d rather play a well fleshed out 8 year old game, than getting a bare boned husk with each iteration - which sadly tends to be the norm for 4x games.

Wake me up when the popover API is in. Might be next version, nice!

Right, I knew I had forgotten something :)

We’re on a run.
Cannabis decriminialized, now abortion legalization (shoutout to our french neighbours for setting the pace!), Deutschlandticket, energy gets decarbonized (yes, former governments made some mistakes there…) and the list goes on.

All that to be killed off because the fucking boomers will vote “conservative” next year, the country is moving too fast for them or some BS, LMAO.

I don’t find that bizarre at all, it’s what he is going to do!

Took long enough for an Archer reference ITT. Thanks.

In Germany, we have a word for that: “Leidensdruck” and I think that’s beautiful.

“They thought they were free”…

Tencent only got preference shares AFAIK (i.e. they can’t vote with them).
