I was looking for something like dwarf fortress adventure mode or cataclysm dark days ahead and this is as close as I could find.

Sacrifices a lot of the smaller details of CDDA by being easier to play (not a bad trade off necessarily). You'll still die a million times in Qud though.

Lol yeah I thought it was overly pedantic but đŸ¤·

I hear you, but I think there is still value in voting D, if only to make the Overton window shift slower.

If the election is close or contested, Dems can pretend their hands are tied and let Rs enact their facist bs. If Dems own the house, they'll need to do something or come up with some other bullshit excuse not to enact more left leaning policies. In an ideal world there'd be real consequences to them if they meandered like they usually do.

It's not great though, happy to hear your perspective.

Keep saying it. Everyone agrees and yet congress doesn't enact it đŸ¤” I'm just glad the oligarchs understand the will of the people better than us rabble!

I actually think a lot of people are confused because they didn't read the article or know what community they're in, so I'll take the downvotes in stride.

Trans people are people too no matter which arrow you hit.

I enjoyed reading your replies to this dolt. I think they try to exhaust you by muddying the water but all he's done is make his position look utterly stupid and exhausting.

I think his goal is to make people afraid to engage and silence others from posting? Or maybe it's simply to waste your time. Either way, I appreciate your attempt at engaging this bad faith "I'm on your side no really" actor.

The best speech he's ever delivered

They purposefully distort information to brainwash people.

Prageru is not run by idiots - they are evil with intent and they will train the next generation to be good slaves if allowed.

I've seen some around in my city. You can spot them because they are completely plastered in makeup. It looks incredibly unnatural in person but gets filtered out by the camera.

Engagement is a two way street, you need to post something worth engaging with.

Occasionally I've seen a valid opinion/idea with some downvotes but there's still usually responses that get a discussion going. Only the true shit has the massive one sided downvote ratio with, unfortunately, a few replies from people who took the bait.

Tax meat, subsidize healthy meat alternatives.

Since Yelp lets businesses pay to revise reviews and advertise for top results, I was wondering if there were any good open source/non-monetized review sites or apps that people have tried out? I usually compare to google reviews and read some of the top reviews to try and filter out the junk, but I know I'm still getting weighted star ratings and promoted content.

A quick search revealed https://lib.reviews/ but I didn't see a ton of content.

It'd also be great to find an alternative to the shitshow that is amazon product reviews. It would be great to find non-manipulated user opinions. Obviously every review system is going to have bad actors but it's nice when the site itself isn't the one in charge and there's some transparency.

Any recommendations or ideas for how to find feedback on stuff to buy?
