Breaking community and individualism is kinda a big thing billionaires want because that way people can’t organise to rise up against them.

If History is anything to go by, poor people threatening the rich.

Speedrun strats?

No but they can experience existential fear (first time I took one of my cats on Holiday).

Of fucking course Bloomberg would describe Blizzard as “Microsoft’s ‘World of Warcraft’ Gaming staff.”

So fun fact: In the UK, elections and votes are always on a Thursday because it was the furthest day from Saturday (when people went to the pub) and Sunday (when people went to church, this rule was instituted when people were more religious).

Now my local polling place was my local school (which changed with Covid because they didn’t want to interrupt education even more) so when I was a kid when there was an election we always got election day off. :)

Yeah but you see, the suburbs vote for the people in power.

Since I moved from a red state to Colorado it’s been mind blowing how painless and accessible it is to vote in this state.

I think that is something we need to stress here: A lot of people in America don’t vote not because they are apathetic but because, well, they often don’t have access because they have to work and can’t get time off, and it doesn’t help that certain states cut and limit the amount of voting places to prevent people from voting.

I remember seeing the images from Georgia in 2020 where there were queues around the block, hell, some fucking states have laws preventing people from offering water for people waiting in line, knowing that people will be waiting in line for a long time. And the fact the places where those polling stations tend to be set up in ways to stop certain demographics from voting is another thing. There’s laws there to prevent students from voting in some states, there’s laws making it hard to vote by mail, you fucking name it.

Meanwhile in the UK, I just had to fill in a PDF form and send it to my local valuation office and I could get a postal vote. No restrictions on who can do this, you can just apply.

FUCKING BASED

Simultrans is good but it’s a bit barebones for my liking.

Open transport Tycoon deluxe. Been going for years and it’s still great.

Knowing academics, I’m expecting it to start a Tumblr blogs and post academic shit posts.

PHD in what?

Linguistic nerds, is this written in Arabic or Ottoman Turkish?

Also Tasmanian Peninsula!

I love the defiant cursed energy here.

That’s basically the idea behind these laws.

Conservatives want to make porn illegal, which isn’t easy under traditional means, so they’re taking the “Putin” approach as I put it, make viewing porn hard, unattractive or even dangerous and make delivering porn to people hard, unattractive and dangerous.

Requiring an ID from the government to view porn means the government can tell who is watching what. If one of those people happens to run for office or get a little too campaigny, their porn history can be named and shamed.

And porn providers know this, and know that will drive people away from their sites, and on top of this implementing this will likely be bureaucratic and likely expensive, so they’ll stop serving an area.

And when this is applied to non porn sites that have porn like Reddit or twitter or Tumblr, well guess what’s going to happen, those sites will ban porn from their site.

It’s basically banning porn by making it impossible to get porn in a way that doesn’t end up with you getting blackmailed. Children have nothing to do with it.

Love how they dug a canal between Scotland and England.

Ah, someone of Culture I see.

Aberdeen and Inverness are misspelled.
