With the way federation currently works, it's impossible, sorry. It's one of the pitfalls of a decentralized system without consolidated ownership: any of the nodes could fail at any time and the responsibility of bringing it back up is the sole job of that node owner.
Biden isn't trying to destroy the world. Everything isn't black and white no matter how much you want it to be. We're back in the Paris Climate Accords despite how the man-baby in the previous administration pulled out because Obama.
I mean, if you want to argue that we are going to destroy the world no matter what, we could speedrun it by electing the fascist who wants to destabilize the entire world by pulling out of NATO. I however would prefer to live out the remainder of my natural life instead of nuclear Armageddon deciding for me.
53% is not disastrous. In polling that isn't head-to-head, that's a landslide victory. It means that no consolidation of any other options will beat the majority. Trump is at 24%, and the rest is scattered with people that are more likely to tip their vote to Biden or not vote.
I don't think he will get removed from the ballots, at least not in current state. I feel like the argument is going to be the presumption of innocence until proven guilty; an indictment is unfortunately premature. We need to apply the law equally or we'll get Republicans finding every way to do the same... albeit with no arguments for it.
I'd rather have Biden lose to Nikki Haley instead of Trump. Yes, I know she's a legacy Tea Party candidate, I don't want her, but at least she isn't campaigning on ethnic cleansing and actually criticized R bullshit like TC&J.
You really need to get over this persecution complex.
2020 was extremely high stakes and the general population doesn't think the way you do, and it wasn't about fucking anyone over.
If you're not going to hold your nose and sit out from picking a centrist and a far-right fascist, good luck ever getting any leftist policies implemented ever. Cutting off your nose to spite your face isn't how we move forward.
I know I won't change your mind, but try to at least practice some introspection instead of telling everybody to "get fucked". The stakes are even higher this year than in 2020, and your choices are maybe a little bit the next four years and some real change after, or no chance ever. Throwing a fit will push us toward the latter.
Just a reminder, this is what happened in 2016. If you wrapped up all the Green Party and Libertarian Party votes and gave them to Hillary instead in the swing states, she would've won. Instead, those third-party voters helped doom us to a lifetime of higher taxes due to the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, the politicization of a deadly disease that is now endemic, a court system with a supermajority that is more interested in stripping away rights rather than granting them, and the very real threat of the discarding of our democracy as we know it.
There's more to it than that, but both of these men are known quantities, and one is orders of magnitude worse. Any vote not for Biden will be a vote for a massive increase in genocide rather than status quo, which while unfortunate gives us a chance for a tomorrow where that doesn't happen.
If Korean culture places dogs on the list of eaten animals and it's done in as human and sanitary condition as possible for farming the animals, then it's not my place to try and stop them.
What if I told you that dog slaughter is commonly done at the height of adrenaline, which intently means violence, due to the belief that it changes the flavor of the meat? Because that's part of the practice. There's nothing humane about it.
Keep in mind that I haven't played Starfield despite getting excited by the hype, and then tempering my expectations after remembering getting burned by the hype and purchase of the Collector's Edition of Fallout 76. My opinions are more of a collective skepticism bolstered by post-hype reactions. The unfortunate reality of the game is that it is a "Bethesda game" with a lot of the magic stripped out.
The promise of 1000 planets rings pretty hollow when a vast majority of them are desolate chucks of rock, and procedural generation is just an exceedingly lazy way to achieve a bullet point on the hype sheet. The only reason I know it's 1000 planets is because Todd would not shut up about it like it was some type of huge achievement.
The fun of "discovery by exploration" -- going to continue on a quest and getting stopped by a dozen different interesting things along the way -- is completely broken by "fast travel". A "Bethesda game" that requires you to skip a lot of the in-between and not lose focus on a singular objective does not feel like a "Bethesda game" to me.
Some of the Bethesda charm comes from the jank of the 20-year-old Frankenstein "not Gamebryo" engine their games are built on. We give them a pass on a lot of this because it can add to the fun. Unfortunately, they spent a lot of time hyping their pride on being their "least buggy" game on release. For a game that cooked as long as Starfield did, they should've spent that time rebuilding something modern from the ground up instead of cramming their ambition into their aging platform. Given the time it took, this may be my biggest disappointment.
