I modded it with the ‘no purchasable resources’ and it became a totally different game; It was all spreadsheet/logistics and organizing galaxy wide shipping to central hubs where I had to fabricate all my own materials to be able to upgrade equipment. I found that far more enjoyable, but the game is still meh. Not worth the replays like skyrim was.

seriously - how fuckin lazy it was to just copy/paste the same enemy outpost 500 times.

After running through the main story once, I modded it to where you cannot buy any natural resources - they must be harvested in person and/or setup a base and and ship all natural resources to a central storage planet. This essentially turned it into a spreadsheet-logistics game which gave me a a second, much more enjoyable playthrough. But I agree - absolutely medium-tier game.

I believe they are referring to racial segregation in the US which adopted a ‘separate but equal’ mantra [in theory]. In practice, it was EXTREMELY unequal and clearly racist, with a white majority being first class citizens and a black minority as second class (or worse) citizens. Separation between mens and womens sports is separate and also unequal, the reasoning for which could be debated, but population wise thats a 50/50 split so in practice it ends up being ‘less unequal’ than would a segregation between a majority and minority. The trans population is less than 1% of the total pop, so ‘separate but equal’ would most definitely become highly unequal in practice. Is it compassionate, then, to have the handful of trans kids play sports against themselves in what would most definitely be ‘second-class’ conditions? How many ways must our society tell these kids that they are ‘others’?

Dude immigrants are like the most patriotic people - literally uprooting their lives to come here and work to achieve the american dream - and still the Con’s want to kick them out rather than naturalize because they can’t recognize brown people as humans.

the replacement is probably just death squads

VOA is/was a propaganda media broadcaster and does/did not provide aid. USAID provides/provided aid, and that aid was the carrot portion of the carrot and stick method favored by neolib imperialists. Gain influence with aid while ensuring US dominance over local natural resources and governments.

There are tons of protests going on everyday around DC. There’s some planned for tomorrow at HHS HQ specifically for this concern

A federally managed DoE goes all the way back to 1867 - it became a cabinet-level department with a specified ‘Secretary of Education’ in 1979.

I am at one of these agencies. This includes a pause on scientific publications to journals
