Even worse is they reply to themselves figured it out and say nothing else.

Combat is pretty integral, but you can avoid some of it by being a hacker. Looting I guess you can mostly or entirely avoid it but it'll make the game a little harder. There are some scenes that take place at parties or whatever and you have to talk to people, but you are given some limited dialog options and the game will progress regardless of the choice you made. You may just get a different outcome.

Biden may have small stones, twigs, soil, pumice, some grass, gravel, and rocks instead of brains but I would vote for a bad slice of pizza rejected by the NY subway rat, a slice that has experienced so much rejection in its short life. the pain it must feel. the abyssal sadness. i would vote for this slice to protect democracy. only this slice can save democracy.

most theft is internal but it's the company stealing from the employees and not the other way round.

I haven't really been following this particularly closely. Does this make the president a king? It sounds like it sort of makes explicit what was previously implicit: that you can't prosecute a president for their crimes. If the president is king now, they were king then too.

It would be like the dunk tank but without rule 8. People don't have to subscribe to it. I will continue not posting to it, but you can feel free to make me a mod. I will be there like an absent father.

Also I don't really know where this post should go, I guess we got rid of the user union at some point.

We are literally just wasting time by shitposting on the internet. I don't see why we need to have any sort of standards at all. This is just mods being busybodies for the sake of being busybodies.

the_dunk_tank becomes a hell-hole of slop? Great, let the piggies feed. There are like 1000 active users on this site, it'll be fine.

It's being posted here because rule 8 exists there. Rule 8 should not exist. The dunk tank should be the abyss.

And I don't really understand the point..I guess? Like it's about a group of kids who are part of an oppressed caste of people forced to go to war and fight on behalf of the decadent republic that they are not citizens of. They have a "handler" who sympathizes with them but does nothing but cry. Ostensibly the show seems to be about finding happiness despite your lot in life but I find that really unsatisfactory for a few reasons.

First the world they've established is extreme. The child soldiers are slaves being sent to die as part of a genocide. Second the republic is pretty much demilitarized except for officers who are in charge of the "86ers" who do the fighting. Third the show is about an elite unit and their politically well connected handler. The republic is losing the war that they are sending the 86ers to die in.

To me this seems like a good setup for a show about a revolution, but instead it's a show about accepting that you can't change anything so just try to be happy despite it. I feel like you could get that message across more effectively without making the world so evil. And besides it's not really that interesting of a message. What is the point of making the viewer angry at the world if the characters do nothing? Why do we care about these characters?

Nitter is shutting down (nitter.d420.de)

Annoying because I'm sure people will keep using the xird site and nitter was the only good way to use it. I still won't make an account though.
