The news of KSP 2’s death has got me playing KSP [1] for the first time in years. It’s still abyssmally optimised, but nonetheless fun as ever!

ok but here me out: symbiotes are famously in short supply on trill, they gotta repopulate somehow.

Compared to previous budgets, less. The rise in spending is 1%, whilst the rise in military wages will be 4.5% to reach a $15 Minium wage for federal employees (Neither is inflation adjusted).

I will just point out that most of Christendom does have pretty strong workers protections/universal healthcare etc… (or at the very least has flirted with it in the past between corrupt governments: see Italy/Russia/Greece/Venuzula). America Is very much the odd-ball here.

I’m not sure I see the anti-catholicism?

Hence why I specified iron-working, and shaft mining, not gold working and open-pit quarries.

Just like how preventing the genocide of poles/jews/gypsies in europe required the counter-genocide of the German people?

Confict between Iran and the west does not need to be settled in Gazan hospitals. Why I ought I support the actual in-progress genocide because of the hypothetical genocide that would be carried out in absence of western support, espacily given that Isreali military spending alone is already twice Iranian? Withdrawing support from Isreal would not wipe the nation out, just cause it to place greater weight on international support (and thereby international law) when conducting their war.

$546m the state has reaped in mineral extraction from them.

So, don’t get me wrong, coloninalism bad, but does it actually make sense to describe the colonists as “stealing” mineral wealth when the aboriginal population had no iron-working/shaft mining/fossil fuel demand to speak of? The human cost (~130 million dead) ought to be sufficient right?

whilst people side with neo purely due to their shared philosophical suppositions?

Or one parent was Irish and Jewish and the other was french and atheist

The clones where already phased out by the time of the alliance to restore the republic, it was the empire that had wiped them out (always pull up the ladder behind you).

On a more serious note: the ‘both sides bad’ point is a bit moot when many western nations (including the USA and UK, where most english speaking twit-lords come from) are actively providing financial and military support to one of those sides. If it were discovered MI6 had been smuggling missiles to hamas then we could talk about what how to put a stop to it.

Also empires are always building super-weapons in fiction and not the railroads/bridges/tax offices and all other boring shit that empires tend to do.

The last ‘super weapon’ to be used in anger was made by the glorious republic (USA) against the Evil empire (Japan). The genocides meanwhile tend to be perpetrated with boring old bombs, shells and blockades.

You watched die hard and sided with the terrorists. Join the resistance bois

Hot

The CIA isn’t acting in the interest of the united states either, but still here we are

but does your buff friend ever post on fourchan?

wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.

what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?

So far the XCOM series has been pretty good at that. Each game typically has 1 big pack which feels worth the money and 1 or 2 chea[ stinkers there’s no need/push to buy

Earth: former european colony

Maybe you should seek vengance? It’s much cheaper.
