They would.

A collective laugh across the world.

War would be an exclusively defensive prospect. Truly defensive. Like attack our shit first. No more strategic bullshit “in American interests”

Stagnant wages, weakened unions, at-will employment, low corporate taxes, etc. All Reaganomics. Supply side economics. Basically destroyed the economic powerhouse that won the Cold War. It’s still a goliath, but instead of an immovable industrial bullwark its all debt driven gambling now. Speculation and financialization.

Are you proud of yourself? You ruined it.

I hope you step on a lego every time you get out of bed. Twice. For the rest of your life.

Thank Reagan. He ended the Fairness Doctrine. Which is the only reason Trumpism ever happened.

Nah, we’re gonna balkanize sooner or later. Economy is fucked beyond fucked. (Thank you Reagan) It won’t be able to keep going. Especially not with republicans at the tiller. The end of the US will be the same as every other empire. But with nukes.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Dude my brother-in-law.

Fuckin’ aliens built everything! Baghdad Batteries? Aliens. Pool of mercury in a pyramid? Alien Power Cell that we don’t understand yet.

Lol. I actually had one. Bought it used the year after the series consoles dropped. Fuckin’ thing was rock solid. Seriously. It still works. Friend of mine uses it as a media center for his parents now. lol.

Started on a DOS1 PC which I upgraded over time first to DOS3 then finally Windows95. Owned a couple consoles. Then a WIndows PC around the Win8 era. Then more consoles. Now on a Ryzen laptop.

I know both sides.

We had efficiency answered decades ago during the 70s fuel shortage. Big oil didn’t want to normalize cars like the Vega, Moodymobile, VW Rabbit, later the Geo Metro. They wanted us to burn more oil not less. And that hasn’t changed. Cars don’t need to be designed in wind tunnels.

As it always is when cops are involved.

Nah. The assholes that killed it are.

Which is beyond insane. People are broke.

I just want cheap economy shitboxes back. User serviceable ones. Without an extra half ton of plastic and unnecessary electronics. Bring back wind up windows and normal radios. Vinyl seats. Hell, bench seats. Wind up windows.

He has a chance because the rest of the ME is waiting for what He does. If this shit goes hot Israel ceases to exist. Attacked from literally every direction. Not a piddling couple retaliatory strikes either. Full bore, fire at will, real fire_everything.gif hours. Israel knows that. So does the US. (The US can’t stop this btw. Basically existing as moral support in the region right now.)

Had Starfield been contained to like a dozen star systems with way denser planets it probably would have done better. Its just too damn big. And BGS is scared to death to go for what everyone really cares about, the species that built The Armillary. Had they focused on that I’d still be locked in. I like the game. But its too big. They went all the way in on the “kill, loot, return” playstyle and neglected everyone else. I never cared about that shit. I hated it in F4. Give me lore, story, details, actual faction choices that actually matter.

My very first playthrough of Fallout 4 I sided with The Institute because I had plans to take over and free the synths. Imagine my fuckin’ surprise when the credits rolled. They lost the plot long ago. And if they don’t have a “come to jesus” moment and figure that shit out then ES6 might be their last game. Big Daddy Microsoft isn’t gonna keep humoring Todd and Emil. They want their goddamn money back and a cargo ship more as interest.

Bullshit.

Because PCMR are the no holds barred title belt holding all time all stars of being whiny little bitches.

inb4 - Yeah I see you typing. You know i’m right. You know it in your soul. You know your own kind.

Over the course of half an hour. With lots of revisions and proofreading. If i’m putting in the effort, I’m putting in all the effort.
