Fascinating video! As a Michigan native who’s spent time in the UP by the Porkies it’s a wonderful and weird bit of history that oft gets forgotten. Thanks for sharing here!

Agreed, and same here! Have to assume I’m not missing out on much lol

Really enjoying Stranded: Alien Dawn! 3D Rimworld in a nutshell lol that or Songs of Syx!

It’s been won in the ballot box already, as recently as 2020. Each fight repeats (here we are looking at the next round in 2024), but the ballot can be won and the overt fascist candidate prevented from succeeding and rolling out Project 2025. Swing states matter most, but as we’ve seen since 2016 unexpected states can still swing their vote. And I’d much rather we handle it civilly through voting rather than go for the Huey Long fix, like happened in 1935.

I’d say preventing the rise of another web of right-wing leaders is just as important as fighting a war after they’ve claimed their power. We see ourselves in quite a similar position to the post-Great War, with many governments swinging hard right, media turning to support that, and the base for those future right wing leaders in the Americas and Europe being solidified. I’d say if anything, the way you’ve brushed this off is quite flippant.

But best of luck if the need flee arises! Hopefully if it’s Europe, it’s nowhere the Balkans. You wouldn’t to hop from a frying pan into the fire of a Russian invasion without NATO at full power with US backing (and odds are if Trump wins he pulls out of NATO).

If Trump had served 8 years we’d be in a much worse place as a nation. That’s a hot take if ever I’ve seen one.

Flee where? Canada is no safer, they have QAnon nuts too. Europe’s not looking amazing. Are you thinking Asia? That’s a bad pick if/when the battle for Taiwan kicks off. Africa is not very developed. And Oceania (Australia included) is just too close to the South China Sea to be safe. Unfortunately, we can’t just flee. We have to make a stand, or we’re all lost to this growing global tide of authoritarianism and outright fascism, the way we had to make a global stand in the 1940’s. Thankfully a world war hasn’t broken out, and we still have the hope of influencing our political systems at home before it’s too late.

Pity the Volute design didn’t work out as well as the normal blower, but the journey to get to that result was worthwhile as always! John Plant never disappoints lol got his hardcover so I can take more time perusing his guides

Excellent advice for newcomers!

I appreciate you taking the time to answer me :)

Exactly my worry about Bibi; they just gave him his mandate on a golden platter. They could not have made a more grave mistake.

Understood most of your comment, but I won’t lie I don’t understand the Yang Unravelling or Hammerfall reference in regards to the Great Filter. Did a Google search but found no results to clarify. What exactly are those?

Gorgeous song! I think “It’s Called: Freefall” is my favorite by them :)

On this note The Battle of Polytopia is an extremely fast-paced turn-based strategy game, like a Civ-lite you can finish entirely in 30 turns or less instead of 200-500 :)

Edit: Recommending Worldbox too lol it’s a fun god-game you can leave and come back to whenever, just save your world’s progress in the meantime.

300 is a military term referring to wounded in action. So he was wounded first, then killed in action.

Not quite what you’re looking for, but I think you might enjoy Worldbox for a nice and relaxed, long-term game! It’s a fun god game with the twist that the inhabitants of your worlds are alive and doing their own thing, be that farming, building cities and kingdoms, forming empires, or making alliances and waging wars all without your input (although you can meddle in the affairs of the world as much as you wish). It’s free (with a single $7 premium purchase if you love the game and want to support the dev).
