Terrible examples. New York and Tokyo made the bulk of their investments in transport decades ago.
Look at China for an example of it working. Things are not congested at all there, and they just keep expanding the network if it gets near any bottlenecks. Like adding hundreds of miles of metro, light rail, high speed trains etc. per year.
But if you legalise all drugs, as you say, no one will want to use shit like fent at all. Fent was legal for decades, it’s older than most opioids. It wasn’t an issue until the crackdown on pills.
It’s all really power in the end. Which is why you see many of the most powerful people in the world nowhere near the “Forbes” list. Money is a representative of power under capitalism, but having more money than everyone else isn’t necessary to have power over them.
Case in point Elongated Muskrat. Sure he is powerful enough to destroy one of the biggest social media networks, but he can’t change the system as a whole, and if the system deems him too much of a nuisance he is gone
I’m sorry but saying the president can, so they have to, is the most reductive thing I’ve ever seen. It’s the epitome of absolute ideology. Thinking a piece of paper absolves the genocidal actions of anyone……
Capitalism is when it turns everything into garbage and then you hoard it among a handful of people. Garbage is the product of human activity that is useless. So it’s not that there is a difference between the two, but capitalism is both garbage and produces garbage itself.
Lethal Company has literally one single person as the dev and Battlebit Remastered has 3. I don’t know why it’d be hard for game number 700 to also have a solo developer, or maybe two.
That’s not the point. Nazi officials, generals and party members were integrated into the nascent west German state and NATO right after WW2. Explicitly by the US to help “fight communism”. Cause you know, the best anti-communists are the Nazis…
Music. My parents weirdly never listened to music. When I was a kid, the most they would listen to was a Queen greatest hits album and another greatest hits from this 80s band from my country. But like, only on road trips.
I don’t know why, but ever since I was very young I loved music. One of the first birthday presents I remember choosing myself was a copy of Dookie (Green Day). I didn’t know what it was, but I loved the cover. Less than a month later we were back to the record store and I bought this brand new album by a band I had never heard before, In Rainbows by Radiohead. And that was it. I was hooked forever. Music was to become the most constant and important part of my life.
I spent years finding and listening to music. Trying to understand the history and development. Music really was my main hobby in high-school, like listening to music.
Nowadays I also play guitar and produce a bit, but I still listen to music as a hobby.
And my parents still don’t listen to music at all lmao. Even after enduring years and years of me hogging the AUX cable and forcing them to listen to everything from Wu Tang Clan to Burzum and Sufjan Stevens and Nirvana… but I love them. The most they would say is “wow this is very heavy” as I blasted black metal lol
I honestly feel that was some sort of psyop…. That sub changed so quick to being basically an altright cesspool. Many “conspiracy” or related subs did that around the same time in fact. This seems like… a conspiracy.
I will always love Willie Nelson. A great human being, and amazing singer and guitar player, and one of the best country songwriters ever.
Red Headed Stranger is just such an amazing album. I’d recommend that first. It’s a concept album, and it’s really beautiful and sad.
I also recommend Townes Van Zandt as others have here. A really haunting singer. Waiting Around To Die is amazing. Maybe the first song about lean ever.
I think having a little area that has some history, interesting characters and “ongoings” is pretty good. It doesn’t have to be deep, but if you have a bit planned out it can easily seem that the players can find “lore” everywhere they look.
Then as time goes on, and they explore and ask more questions, you can start filling in the gaps in-between sessions or improvise them on the fly (based on things you already worked on for example).
Not built by, but rebuilt by. And all the tram networks were bought and purposefully destroyed by car and oil companies in the early 20th century.
