Same. I gave Kenshi a try and it didn't click for me. Caves of Qud though, that game is pure unmitigated crack for me. Live and drink, friend.

I'm a simple man. I see Peanits, I upvote.

I'm no Mexico expert but I can't imagine Mexico is wealthy enough to afford this type of protection in the numbers they need. They also couldn't likely rely on local hires without extensive background checking. Bear in mind that they would need people who are experienced and ready to shoot at all times. The best scenario would be to hire PMCs to provide security but they don't come cheap and have their own logistical issues.

Why not just legalize drugs? Then you can just tax em. Fairly of course cause it still has to be profitable. The illegality of the drugs is why there's so much crime down there. Take the money you're putting into drug enforcement and put it into education on why the drugs shouldn't be done in the first place. Give people the tools to make educated choices about what they put into their bodies you know? I guess I just don't get it.

Everyone can join? Even the Uyghurs?

Meet the new war

Same as the old war

Love seeing another person with lots of hours in Caves of Qud. It's rapidly climbing up my hours played list since 1.0 release. Bought it at 17.99, played for 220 hours so far. Math says that's 9 cents an hour, and I'm still not done playing. Live and drink, friend!

Consider Phlebas is a bit of a rough start. I found it to be more rewarding on a second read-through after finishing several other Culture novels. By all means keep reading Phlebas, it's very good, but it's ok to sit back and sort of let the book happen, if you get my drift. It'll become clearer as you read.

mustard on the beat, yo

I had forgotten about this episode!

In my personal experience, true poly couples often act the way that Phlox/Feezal do around a potential new partner. In all cases I've seen they respect the boundaries that the new partner sets, like here Trip feels weird and expresses that later in the episode, so they back off.

Poly relationships would have been a really cool dynamic to explore on Enterprise though, so it's somewhat of a missed opportunity. Oh well.

"You know what she's called? Incontinentia.... Incontinentia Buttocks WILL YOU STOP LAUGHING!?"

That scene is always able to make me laugh.

Gimli, it's a blunt, not a microphone

Somewhat related: that's a dream blunt rotation right there

Don't worry about it.

This is the best answer because all of these other fictional places can be replicated with 100% accuracy using Culture tech.

Not pictured: The dynamic and eternal back-and-forth in the comments section of that article where Wikipedia purist nerds do battle with Wikipedia's cadre of silly gooses.

Purists hate that "cetacean" is used here and feel that the silly gooses are diluting the information on Wikipedia for a pun. They also complain that visitors to that page will be confused by the term, and that it will cause the social credit of Wikipedia as a whole to wane in the eyes of the world.

The gooses want the purist nerds to take a chill pill. I'm with the gooses. If the purists knew how often scribes in ancient times doodled pointless things like mounted snail combat and wildly exaggerated dick drawings on illuminated manuscripts then I'd presume they'd be okay with allowing a minor joke like this one, but I guess you can't please everyone.

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Coffee would have made me an apostate too. Damn, I love coffee. Live and drink, friend.

Hey, that guy is hogging all the happiness! Get him!

If pulling forward into an empty parking space in front of your car is gay, then I guess you'd better start calling me Elton John. What the actual fuck?

that phone bigger then he goddam he
