Yeah, I suppose Rammstein were actually a bit optimistic with that line.

That’s really hard to source honestly due to the nature of proxy wars. The list I provided does include large conflicts in which the US was a beligerent in some way, shape, or form, so not just wars. For example, it includes domestic conflicts the US never flagged as wars such as the various campaigns against the American natives, the invasion of Mexico and a whole bunch of others lesser known ones.

pushes glasses well akshually…The US was not involved in an armed conflict from 1795 to 1798, 1805-1810, 1815-1816, 1828-1832, 1924-1939, 1961-1964 and finally 1975 to 1982. Out of the US’ 248 years of existance, it has enjoyed 38 years of official peace.

Isn’t the original line “sometimes war”? Or am I misremembering the lyrics.

This would’ve been a better joke if you changed “lockdown lunacy” to “a restriction not imposed by the government they were protesting” or just “a wild array of conspiracies mostly regurgitated to them by social media”.

I was gonna mention Bugsnax, but you beat me to it. That game starts so innocent.

The DLC for that game was a trip too. Highly recommend checking it out as it really added to Alan Wake 2 for me.

I went into Oxenfree completely blind after picking it up for next to nothing on the switch store. Great story with choices that actually matter. OP, do yourself a favor and play this without a guide.

It’s almost impossible to have not been bombarded with the main story and setting of Morrowind by this point. But when this game came out, it was an experience and a half. Unlike anything I had seen before at least. Sure, Ultima, TES 2, etc all existed. But none of them had never sold their world so effectively if you ask me.

David Cage gets lots of shit for his games, but If you experience them blind without spoilers ahead of time I find they’re pretty good interactive movies.

Well, you already gave me the band in the question so that’s not saying much ;-) Could’ve sworn it was this song. Let me check their back catalogue again.

Oh look, it’s two horrible people fighting eachother. Nobody wins, but it’s still good entertainment.

My biggest concern is that the UCP get a new boogeyman out of that, like how they are treating Notley.

Remarkably accurate. Lanes become suggestions but tire tracks are mandatory.

Alberta gonna 'berta I guess.

Seriously though, the UCP needs to get an urgent divorce from US Republican extremists before they crash the whole province (and then proceed to blame it on Ottawa. Again.)

As someone who moved here from Scandinavia (Sweden) we’re hardly immune to extremist right-wing philosophies and political movements. Case in point: the former Nazi party won the last general elections in Sweden and is making a right old mess of the country as we speak.

And while it’s not Norway, our closest neighbors haven’t been insulated from the right wing populist tide either, judging by the news.

Shock the monkey by either Peter Gabriel or Coal Chamber with Ozzy Osbourne

And here we see the actual problem - Danielle isn’t the crazy lady holding the party hostage (like Kenny’s comment about the “inmates running the asylum” suggested), the whole party has gone off the deep end.

I don’t see how this has any chance of being fixed, unless the UCP suffers multiple crushing electoral defeats over the next decade or so.

I recently mused that it has got to be hard for the Onion to come up with something these days given how reality keeps catching up to satire, but this headline proves it’s not just hard, it’s downright impossible to satirize Trump.
