Rich people

Is that… 5 AC10’s in CT? Or a really weird looking RAC20?

Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.

Helldivers 2 is 25-35 on medium and smooth. Very little stuttering.

That mentality is surely broader than fascism itself. You see it in any hypernationalist state. Rome had “the barbarians.” The British Empire had “the savages.” Nazi Germany had “the jews.” There is always an “other” when the state needs it. Unless you’re painting a broader form of fascism, perhaps.

Let’s take a page from Helldivers and call it “Managed Capitalism.” Surely far better than rootstock /s

It’s more to the point that tasks are easier for neurotypical people to accomplish because the world was built for their minds. Neurodivergent people have to build up skills and workarounds for functions that seem to come naturally to NTs, eventually creating a mosaic of little crutches and scripts to follow in order to fit in or even function at all in modern society.

NDs don’t have “the box.” NTs are born with “the box.” Society says you must stand on the box (that it’s assumed everyone has inherently) in order to participate. So the ND makes their box out of the many tiny tools and workarounds they build to “stand on the box” that they don’t have.

I now explicitly trust this writer and take his word as gospel.

Sci Fi is a flavor of fantasy that favors grounded explainations over magic, yet can’t escape it entirely. In order for something to be sci fi, it must have something in it that can be percieved as “magical,” even in the “sufficiently advanced technology” sense of the word. Jump/warp tech, laser weapons, space warfare in general, most life support concepts, AGI… All magic as far as we know now. Any sci fi without the roots of fantasy is really just modern fiction.

Protection from grit. And because polymers that can resist balistic shock and heat had only very recently been invented by then, and it was “cool” to find a way to make it useful.

Universally incompatible.

Question: We’ve seen sand-filled missiles due to corruption and cronyism, and they were actually transfered to the front line expecting to be live munitions. How many Russian ICBMs do you think are truly functional between the “new” ones and the 70yo cold war hulks?

To be clear, I don’t revel in the idea of a war between the Ruskies and NATO, but Putin is certain to be wondering this, too. How effective are his strategic assets, truly? I’m sure the CIA has figured that out and is guiding US response on that intel. They know exactly how far an insecure dictator can be pushed.

Hey OP, that site has enough trackers on it to give me cancer. Can you link an alt from a more consumer friendly source?

Ahoy should host

I have had 0 issues with it and it’s only gotten better. I’m running a flat, stable 30 on high currently. That’s more than I can say of hogwarts…

Thw books, obviously! Been decades tho

Su Cuy’Gar, Mando’an!

That was the point. In the books, the bugs had been flinging rocks towards the outer colonies for years, but the attack on Buenos Aires is heavily implied to be an inside job to rally support for an invasion, since they did not have hyperspace tech and no attack had reached the inner worlds, let alone Earth.
