NEOliberals absolutely would. I’m not accusing the minority within the majority members like Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez of such things.

Both parties literally put blinders on for places like Saudi Arabia because they’re good customers for our military industrial complex.
Externality: Noun - Capitalist term for “I already got your fucking money, so my mess is your problem you fucking sucker peasants 🖕🤑💰”
"What an absolute disgrace! We must not allow this travesty to continue!
The Union of Concerned Scientists must be punished, in order to protect our beloved economy and the quarterly earnings of private shareholder portfolio staples like Tyson foods/TSN!"
-Neoliberals to fascists, probably
But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders!
Thats why I choose to be a pessimist. It eliminates disappointment.
Expect the worst from humans and you’ll usually end up being factually correct, you’ll never be disappointed, and occasionally, if the moon and the stars align, you just might be pleasantly surprised about something at some point in your life, just don’t count on it.
Optimism looks fucking exhausting when dealing with our gem of a species. Being let down most of the time and still putting on a smile for the next disappointment you won’t expect 5 minutes later. Looks like masochism minus the sexual pleasure. Good luck with that optimists!

The base game is prettier and more stable in my few playthrough hours with the update.
I miss mods, but this was a significant improvement to the base game imho, especially base visuals, and mods will come.
Honestly the last time I launched the game in an unmodded, un-community patched state, a couple years ago to be fair, it crashed every half hour or so for me from runtime errors, so this feels like a more stable bedrock on which to build.
Just one Bethesda fan’s perspective.

It’s not the dev’s fault, they make what they’re told to make. But the President of media enshittifier MAXHBODISCOVERYDUOPOLY has stated that is what they will continue to force feed us in lieu of content we purchase to then enjoy full stop.
Probably, in the same way Steamboat Mickey is.
Just part of the whole valuing property, in this case intellectual, over actual labor and people that our species loves so fucking much.
Imagine if IP from drugs to technology to fiction had a 5-10 year max window before other people could work with and expand on it. It would be a better world for most.
Oh you only get to make exclusive income on that thing you came up with for SEVERAL YEARS OF YOUR LIFE before you need to contribute in other ways to keep making money, boo fucking hoo. Where’s the sympathy for people working 2 jobs, burning their life up to meet basic needs, who don’t get several years of passive income on an idea that popped into their head 4 years ago.
I for one back the blue.
To be clear though, I mean the ocean, fuck the police capital defense force.
Yep, intellect and capacity for introspection are curses in this bad joke of a civilization, especially in poor socioeconomic circumstances.
No one will even be honest with them in childhood and just tell them “because some sociopath families who were born before you called generational dibs, and convinced some of the other poories that are dumber than you to defend their dibs at gunpoint.”
Nope, they have to parse through the bullshit of bootstraps and can do attitudes that tend to be thrust upon children for years after the Santa Clause jig is up.
Or shove a bag of cocaine in its blowhole and claim it was resisting…
Also there’s no confirmation as to whether this dolphin was at school.
It depends kid.
What’s your parent’s net worth?
Shit, I thought he was saying paper is majestic.
That fucker has been pointing and laughing at me for 10 years in my head.
He’s not wrong, but still.
This is American af 🇺🇸
Fun fact: Everyone with hundreds of millions+ in holdings either trades with insider information or pays others to do it, because our metrics and enforcement for insider trading are a gallows joke.
Pathetic watching ancient, feeble rich people about to return to the dust from whence they came still frantically positioning to boost their ego scores.
It’s as if they believe their preferred invisible sky mommy/daddy will accept a bribe of earthly currency.
I promise you the Pentagon has already spent billions working to weaponize both AI and AI derived robotics.
Their philosophy is that if a new technology even has potential military applications, they demand getting it first, best, and in larger quantities than any other nation on Earth would even consider. Our military industrial complex is the largest surpassing the Joneses continuous effort humanity exerts.
That’s how we get to spending more on our military than the next 9 nations combined. That’s why we have 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, France has 1, and that’s all there is on Earth.
I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s the reality. Whatever we consumers have access to is behind what our military is testing and throwing basically infinite money at.
