To all our well-meaning newly-arrived liberal refugees, who is this "we" you keep referring to when you lecture and virtue signal about Ukraine?

As far as "we" are concerned, you're all 80% as complicit as the isolationists in the current rightoid administration for the current geopolitical state of the world. It was Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal which emboldened Putin. It was years of liberal soft-handedness and tolerance of crossed red lines from Russia, which prevented Ukraine from joining NATO. It was Biden who refused direct intervention even when Russian troops were miles away from Kyiv. From Iran to Russia to Hamas, and soon China, we've warned for decades that authoritarians are deterred by solidarity and strength, not olive branches.

And now you want to lecture about Republican isolationism? My brother in Allah, you're the problem. As far as we're concerned, you're post Molotov-Ribbentrop Stalin lecturing about the dangers of nazi expansionism. Our contempt for isocucks does not preclude our equal contempt for you. So spare us the self-righteous lectures. The prisoners at gitmo are lucky they were only subjected to waterboarding, and not "self-righteous lecture by self-unaware liberal".

"Could it be the fault of Bush fricking up the Iraq War (and lying about WMDs) that Americans are now isolationalist? Nope. It's Obama's fault"

Its time. weather you're 16, like me, feeling unrepresented by the state, tired and ready for change, or a middle aged father or mother struggling to make ends meet. this is not left vs right, this is up vs down. this is their heel, versus our throat. Wake up. its time for real resistance. Peaceful protesting does not work, asking does not work, the truth, if we do not strip them of all other options to lie, will not be enough. it will take the POWER of the PEOPLE. which we have. Do NOT fall to infighting. Do NOT focus on stupid fandom or community discourse, like "male lesbians" because in the end, someone elses identity is unknown to us, ans as a huma, is it not or moral obligation to help our fellow person, no matter who they be? Who do we become when we deny basic of rights to those we dislike, yes, even those we claim immporal, such as prisoners? These people are tyrannical. DOWN with musk, DOWN with meta, DOWN with google, DOWN with microsoft. LINUX. PROTON. VPS. PIRATING, PHYSICAL MEDIA, FARMING, SURVIVAL, COMMUNITY, HARM REDUCTION, LOCAL LIABRARIES, SIGNALING, OGANIZED GROUPS.

STOP FOCUSING ON THE UNIMPORTANT. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. THEY WILL NOT KEEP US LONGER. FRICK THIS FACIST SYSTEM.

what a treat

powerful stuff

At launch, Starfield was celebrated but it didn't take long before a hate campaign began against it and people started posting tons of negative reviews of the game. They complained about ridiculous things like the lack of vehicles (plenty of games don't have vehicles), and the lack of things to do (this is false, there is plenty to do).

The truth is that people had unrealistic standards. They wanted 1000 individually crafted planets and when they realised they were procedurally generated, people lost their shit without realising what an immense undertaking they were asking for. Starfield manages to provide a good variety of games and exploration always rewards you with amazing sights and plenty of opportunities to take photos. At the end of the day, Starfield provides more content than 99% of games out there. It is better than No Man's Sky @BILLYBIGBOLLOCKS. How you can you visit places like Neon and Akila and complain that the game is empty? There are so many settlements with an incomprehensible amount of content. There is also a host of lifeforms to discover and they all behave differently, making it exciting to explore the wild parts of planets.

People complain that many of the missions are fetch quests, but they fail to understand that much of the fun of the game comes from the journey. Traveling to different places, speaking to different characters and discovering new things is exciting, and fetch quests expose you to new content.

What I find strange is that people complain about the writing and the story. This is the best writing in a game recent. It's so fun talking to different characters because they all feel so different and they have varied motivations. I can't wait to meet new characters and it's exciting to pick what I'm going to say to them. I enjoy the persuasion situations where you have to pick the right thing to say to convince a character to do something. These are high stakes situations and I don't save scum so I deal with the consequences of my actions.

I will admit that the game is not perfect and there are some flaws. For example, there are a lot of loading screens. Secondly, 60fps mode isn't particularly stable. However, none of these shortcomings tarnish the game in a major way. Furthermore, Bethesda has listened to fans and updated the game to give players plenty of the features they have been asking for, making the game even better than it was at launch. That is a beautiful thing to do, and not many developers would do that. Thank you Todd Howard.

The hate campaign against Starfield was started by CHUDS who were mad that there weren't many conventionally attractive women in the game. You could see it on /v/, and it eventually spread to Reddit where chuds latched onto the narrative.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16c0z6n/why_are_all_the_girls_ugly/

https://old.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16g935o/why_are_the_npcs_so_darn_ugly/

Of course, this discourse spread to Steam where a bunch of reviews started complaining about ugly NPCs. You can tell its chuds writing these because they use terms like "woke".

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/4035850502436992213/

From here, it became easy to just call the whole game "woke" and the kinds of criticisms that came from this were ridiculous. People were mad that you could choose they/them pronouns!

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3824173464657206483/

So with all this needless hate gathering around Starfield, it became a hot topic in the culture wars which led to the torrent of bad reviews. That is why there is a negative perception of the game. However, for those of us who know what the game is trying to be and are playing it with a pure heart, we recognise that Bethesda has bestowed a masterpiece upon us. This is a beautiful game with so many twists and turns. It's innovative, unorthodox, yet so effortlessly fun.

I'm feeling quite sad right now because @ToeBeans ignored me cruelly and I don't know what I did to her to deserve this treatment. However, I'm about to play Starfield and it's going to make me feel much better. I might not have true friends online, but when I'm playing Starfield, Sarah Morgan and Sam Coe are my best buddies and they'll never desert me. Here are some of my favorite screenshots from the game. Looking at them helps me feel better.

To prevent a dip on drama contracts being carried out and keep the marleycoin economy of the town flowing, all discussion of any kind of ban discussion is banned.

Hmm, no. But I will credit him with being the worst leftist president in modern history (LBJ is a tricky runner-up having started the war in Vietnam).Firstly, what has Biden done well?He's successfully avoided a recession and navigated the economy into a soft landing -- but people still feel bad about his economy largely due to his inability to communicate and conditions deteriorating for the poor and middle class.He allowed Medicare to negotiate for ~20 drug pricesHe restored a semblance of order and gravitas to American foreign policyHe passed a major climate change and infrastructure bill -- but it was all carrot and no stick, and consisted entirely of spending a lot of money over a short period of time.What has Biden not done well?He waited to drop out of the election and deprived voters of an open primary, undemocratically placing Harris at the top of the ticket with not enough time to conduct a campaign -- this directly led to a second Trump presidency.He declined to prosecute...

High COL, open borders, inflation, causing a shit storm in Afghanistan, sending billions to Ukraine, weaponizing the DOJ, pardoning his son when he said he wouldn't. Using the media to hide his declining health. His whole admin was a woke joke. You don't have to agree with me but election results speak for itself. I'll likely get downmarseyd for this which will prove my point. (-2)

I will address each point. High COL - COL was high pre-pandemic. Trumps proposed tariffs and threats of trade wars with our biggest trading partners will make that worse. Inflation was a global phenomenon that followed the pandemic. Every country in the world experienced it. It had to do with resulting whiplash from supply chain disruptions, and all of the aid that was sent out. Most of the aid Covid Aid was sent out by Trump. Biden had the fastest recovering economy from inflation in the world and it's currently below where it was pre-pandemic at 2.1%. It typically floated at 3-4% pre pandemic (ps: that's lower than Trump). Open borders - more border crossings happened under Trump than Biden. Biden administration had a bipartisan bill that was going to bulk up border security. Trump undermined it by threatening republican congressman so the Dems could not get a win and he had some bull shit to run on. What did Trump do for the border? Why didn't he lock it down while he was in offi... (1)

Sorry which part of this did you not want me to call out as bullshit? Biden was by no means perfect but his term saw the most benefit for Americans in terms of a global recovery scale, do we average Americans enjoy that benefit? No, because shockingly corporations used "supply chain distribution" to increase the cost of goods to pad their year over year "record breaking profits". Crazy how the bill to reduce price gouging and increase consumer protections was drafted because of the corporations greeding increases in prices. And side note "it's harder to get the prices to come down" meaning we're fricked no cheaper prices 🤷‍♂️As for Russia and Afghanistan, Russia is not under our governments control and we have always been at odds with them as an enemy super power. In the conflixt we are siding an ALLY OF OUR NATION without being directly involved in the conflict, we are glorified arms dealers.

Arming and funding Ukraine while giving them permission to strike in Russia using US weapons is pretty involved. Why not negotiate? That's often the best course of action when it comes to global conflict. Particularly one with nukes. Russia considers us to be at war due to our involvement in Ukraine. Biden has been drip feeding resources, never giving enough to ensure victory, but enough to keep money in defense companies' pockets. It's a forever war, and Ukraine is paying for it with their blood. Biden did not have to follow Trumps plan. The Taliban didn't follow the terms set in negotiations, so why did we? Biden is the CIC, and the buck stops there. That whole cluster frick cost a lot of innocent lives. Biden upholding the plan of a dog shit president, a plan that failed, is a very bad look. Also, continuing to fund the Taliban for years after is a very, very bad look. Funding a controversial war in the middle east that many of the American people consider a genocide( I ... (1)

I attribute this solely to this community and the solidarity found in it.

Two people went on stress leave and frankly I'd be one of them too if I didn't have this community. I'll continue to do my job and fight for the position I've earned. It took me 10 years of applying and 20 years experience in my field to get here. I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies. I'M NOT LEAVING!'

I was chill and laid back prior. Now I'm digging my heels in out of spite. I'm a big time hater and being petty is my favorite thing to do.

I can hold a grudge like it's my job

I knew my grudge-holding skills would come in handy someday.

I've never been more motivated to stay. Before the "buyout" memo, I was ready to go job hunting, but then a revelation hit. I took an oath under this position to the American people and leaving my job under the current state would be failing to maintain my oath as civil servant.

I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.
