If people won't eat a burger made of pea protein, what makes everyone think that a vat grown slurry will have people running to consume it? Just don't eat meat!

Oh I see where you're coming from then, in wanting to be extra critical of the Liberals. Carry on!

It’ll have to suffice for me to just say I believe the current Labour government has many many deficiencies in its leftism, and I think that’s being seen by others in current polling. Thank you for your comment.

Don’t you love it now that both UK and Canadian governments are moving heaven and earth to implement policies contrary to the views of the people who voted for them?

Could be crazy, could be traumatized, could be anything just like any white dude. This collective punishment is criminal.

First single-dose vaccine approval, and the first to be given a recommended range outside of childhood (qdenga). A wonderful achievement.

Eugh this reminds me that FIL is being continuously fed AI-generated Alberta Separatist vids on his Instagram reels. “We have 16 Morbillion dollars of money buried in our ground, and the Laurentians don’t want YOU to have it!”

Rightism by definition is about hierarchy and submission to authority. We’re unfortunately watching that play out in real time amongst the worst people we know over and over again.

Yes! It took a literal toy (Victoria 3, a political/economic video game sim of 1836-1936), before I started on the path toward learning these topics in earnest. Most professionals aren't given an education on anything regarding the forces and relations of production (for obvious reasons).

Thanks for the article. People will ignore a lot to buy "sanitized" animal products. Not to mention the class implications of wanting goods of a higher moral quality to differentiate themselves from other consumers, while still not be willing to look deeper into the production.

The true magic that makes a man go insane is learning another language and finally getting to see what a solid portion of that people are actually saying at any given moment.

Man, why do our societies make the mental issues of the upper class a constant national-level problem? I get to read a 10k word breakdown of the worldview of a guy who, if he had a poorer daddy, would be another person you'd regret sharing a few words with at the supermarket.

The tension between rightists wanting "their" ppl to retvrn to a one-income household to raise children, and then seeing it in action today is kind of funny ngl.

Ya but couple things iirc from Book of Lost Tales:
-They were mostly of the second host coming to Alqualondë (who were misled/confused)
-Suffering while crossing the Helcaraxë
-Going *back* that way as soon as the Doom was pronounced to repent.
-Some got taken by Mandos even when they came back.

I liked 4e and 5e for different reasons, but 5.5e is rubbing me the wrong way for some reason. Now in part thanks to the 5e boom, we have a ton of TTRPGs to go around for everyone!

Rimworld was my intro to the genre (Only 1 z-level helps compared to Dwarf Fortress 💀) The Prepare Carefully mod can help make learning things even easier. Clanfolk and Prison Architect are other options for games too that imo are simpler.
