You guys are becoming parents?

Why?

+1 for primitive technology. Interesting guy that goes out to some empty land in I think Australia and builds houses and all kinds of stuff with just his hands and tools he makes himself. He is going for forging his own iron knife now, which is insanely impressive.

It's pretty common when people want to have an edgy name in a game with name filtering. You just swap the first letters in two words. Like datfick4, bamrutt4, that kinda thing.

Interesting! Thanks for the update!

Sounds mostly to me like the free market working as intended. You have a single state expressing the majority of American's values, so everyone wants to live there. California's portion of the GDP reflects what the concentration of blue voters does for the economy.

A nuke costs something like $80,000,000 to produce. It takes time and effort from multiple groups of people. What is an example of losses if this doesn't count?

Thank you for the professional input RimJob4.

Good info thanks for adding on!

They were not the only white people to have ever been there though. The colonists could have been slaughtered and those were French decendents or something though. There is no way to prove what happened.

Okay, I listen to a fair amount of history podcasts, so let's see what I can pull out of my head for fun:

There was Rainbow Man, who famously went to sports games across America, holding up a sign that read "John 3:16" in an attempt to convert people to Christianity. He later died in a hotel shoot out where he took a maid hostage in his hotel room full of guns.

There was the time the President of America secretly went on a trip to Panama on one of two ships. While trying to show off to the president doing drills, the other ship accidentally shot a torpedo at the presidents ship. He pulled a pistol and attempted to shoot the torpedo with it.

The settlement at Roanoke, which was one of the earliest attempts by Europeans to settle in America and by the time ships got back with supplies (I believe years after they said they would be back) the settlement was empty. Still unsolved to this day.

America has dropped at least two nuclear warheads on itself accidentally, which have all failed to detonate.

Benedict Arnold was one of the best military minds ever born in America. He paid for his own troops for years, and when he asked for repayment or even his own salary, the Republicans claimed he actually owed the government money. They gave him tje reputation of only caring about money and refused to ever pay him until he finally took money from Britan to make ends meet.

George Bush senior crashed into German electrical lines and flew the plane back to base causing an international incident. He never received punishment for this and continued to fly for the military. He also did a bunch of drug smuggling and no one cared.

Look into pretty much any time people wanted to explore an area for the first time and there was most likely a massive loss of life and money. Australia and America seem to have the funniest stories of people's attempts to name every river and mountain they see.

That's what I got off the top of my head. :)

Gonna add another vote for osrs. Very good mobile game for when you wanna mine the coal rocks and make number go up. :)

I think because most mobile web browsers are terrible. I've not looked into them at all, but the default ones are always so bad.

More likely it'll think 1+1=5

What are you even talking about? I don't have to do anything. And I don't at all understand why you told me that tge definition of democracy is in fact, not where, "what you can't do is to say, "everything is rigged because the outcome is not what I wanted" and call it a day." That is wild.

Everything is rigged, and I can't imagine anyone being crazy enough to say otherwise. I make okay money and would need to work for like ten thousand years to make what some others in our country make in a second. Are you telling me that a system where one person can be placed on such a pedestal could ever be a good thing?

The flawed rule is what leads to the wars.

This sounds like a successful efficiency study presented by a horror director.

Guess it's wait for the war then.

No? My hope would be we would overthrow the ruling class, but we've never even gotten close to deciding as a nation that 12 people having all of the money is a bad idea. So it all only really matters so much.

But again no, my hope was for a leftist party in America, ranked voting and at least 5 competitive parties trying to attract voters, a removal of jerrymandering, senate votes in some way tied to population size, so whatever insane percent of the population California is, is not represented by 2% of the voting power. I want a lot of things, and on a lot of these the majority of Americans agree. The IRS should send you a bill for the taxes owed like other developed nations, but because of lobbies we can't have that. I want a health care system that makes sense and doesn't have to charge $600 for an Ace bandage. I want and I want and I want. Most Americans do. I want children to not be starving in a nation that screams we are the greatest Earth has ever, or will ever see. We have plenty and we refuse to spread it to those in need. People need to petition the government for years and hire lawyers just to ask for help because they can't work anymore. We continue to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars testing unemployment benefits receivers for drugs ever though almost no one has been caught and kicked off benefits for it. We have legalized slave labor with our prison system hiring out manual laborers for dollars on the hour and paying tge inmates pennies as low as 13 cents an hour. We have legalized child labor still because the agricultural sector has always been exempt from that rule. Our wages are kept as low as possible for the price of goods to still be purchased, slowly pushing more and more people into the lower class. We have more homes with no one living in them than we have homeless people by something like 2.6 times. We regularly refuse ambulance trips when they are required because they are so expensive, there are ways to not pay, but most people who know that can afford to pay it.

If this is a functioning democracy how do you defend it? If this is a developed nation why do we insist on grinding people at the bottom for fuel?

Two steps forward and two steps back until it's your kids turn to pick up the mantle.

I'm not seeing the connection. Historically when people like the Republicans rule a country they eventually have wars they lose to end the regime. We already have political prisoners in super max from twenty years ago. I wonder how long the rest of the world let's us get away with our bs.
