It's just an addiction mill now, though. Quite different from when people found it innovative and it drew from a multitude of demographics.

stuffed animals

imagine paying for news.

next imagine paying for news baked with pro-capitalist propaganda.

now imagine cancelling that subscription because the capitalist propaganda wouldn't praise the blue capitalist.

Put mandatory voting in the fucking constitution if you want to coerce me to participate in bourgeoisie elections you fucking insufferable infants.

Uhg, that last quote about average Jewish intelligence; Liberal's eagerness to accept that "pleasant" myth betrays their corrosive latent racism.

I own it and would play with a group.

I have not played it, yet - so I will be garbage-tier at it. Fair warning.

I have experience with many other paradox games though so I imagine I'd pick it up fairly quick.

Cut ties with everyone who watches corporate media (i.e. regularly ingests Western propaganda) during campaign seasons. Don't waste your sanity on people participating in synthetic social hysteria.

You can probably talk to them again a month after the election - especially if their preferred capitalist oligarch "wins".

yes

We hadn't heard from a relative who was in Asheville at the time of the flood until literally like an hour ago. Was fearing that they were among the casualty count, thank god thank fuck. Ahhhhhh

bitwarden works for me

I checked the solution and it was much simpler than I expected; can't the pawn just kill the knight to avoid the king having to move back/forth? Doesn't seem like checkmate since to escape check it is legal to capture the threatening piece.

Every accusation, a confession.

We no longer have to do explosives by physical mail/delivery. We can now do it by email.

I mean I guess is liberal democracy = bourgeois democracy, sure.

A shame they are too craven to give their citizenry a political education grounded in reality to acknowledge the distinction.

Only thing keeping me on brave is the native ad-blocking. But I'll definitely give this a shot.

"Let's be clear"

continues to be vague

It is so patently oligarchic. Sucks that it seems like the election winners will be denied power ultimately but moments like this are a rare, great example of when participation in bourgeoise politics is a good tactic; this will make the French painfully aware of how farcical and hollow their flavor of "democracy" is and will radicalize any prole who is even partially paying attention.

Seems like very short-term thinking on Macron's part - but given the current geopolitical stage we're existing within he may realize that the mask is going to fall off regardless, there are precious few rationales to keep masquerading as an acolyte of democracy.

Would love to hear what the political climate is like in-person from a French comrade.

happy for you

yes, the golden age of "dating apps" is long over. They are monetized to hell and back now. Most of the profiles are bots or scammers. The "real" ones are typically not great people. I'm not sure what your disability entails, but public spaces are where you will find genuine people.

If you absolutely insist on using dating apps, try Hinge.

Hey comrade-

Just seeing this now, sorry - life gets fast.

Still willing to talk about anything that might help you orient yourself for employment, etc.

If you can hit me with a quick (op-sec friendly, use DM) bio about yourself and your experience level along with some pointed questions about what you are struggling with now I will respond with advice on how to proceed.
