It is! These places are insanely costly, but that’s secondary to what they do to people, imo. If you grow up here at a base level you will not have the full breadth of human experience; you’ll probably never experience real community, you’ll never experience other cultures or people (not even nationalities, you’ll never even experience separate cliques or niches), you’ll never have economic mobility (although that’s rare regardless), you’re basic services will always be in question. The list could continue on and on with various economic or humanitarian problems, and i don’t even have that much experience to compare it to.

Ultimately it makes lesser people. paranoid, self obsessed, isolationist, violent, or addicted people. it’s no coincidence that Republicans only really dominate in rural places.

Nah, those towns should be reclaimed in their entirety by the state and the people forcibly relocated to real cities. I live in one of these places, i can attest to the horrible effect they have on people, they should not be allowed to continue existing outside of strictly necessary farming towns.

It is pretty wild. The alphabet agencies are generally built on American chauvinism above everything, you’d think they would realize that Trump is going to be the final nail in the coffin of the American empire. Just not in the healthy way many people hoped for.

Fucking lunatic

Japan is only decent in many respects if you compare it to America/where America is going, i just knew they were accepting more refugees than they historically have.

Last i heard Ireland is probably gonna be the premier refuge when things hit the fan. I know Japan has also been more accepting of refugees since the Ukraine war, but they still aren’t the best country to live in. Vietnam apparently loves foreigners, but i don’t think they are very progressive.

Iirc the (original) Nazis didn’t resort to camps first either. It’s painfully obvious where this is all going

But they’ll fight tooth and nail to prevent normal healthy sex work, or even sex work adjacent folks.

Think they’ll accept refugees from other states of they go? I’m not exactly the most fit, but I’d join their military or fight their fires if it gets me some actual freedom.

No because I’ve got over two dozen protective spells active!

Conservatives really are stupid no matter where they’re from, huh?

Too late

Still a better story than SAO

Honestly, this isn’t even up for debate. Yes, objectively yes. Anyone who lives in a rural hellhole knows full well that bigotry drives these people more than literally anything else. They would happily suffer if it meant that the people they hate for no reason will suffer more.

My grandma hates Biden for daring to work with a black man, despite the fact that he spent most of his political career as a horrid racist and his pick was literally to appease her and people like her. She’s the perfect example of the average Republican, they aren’t good people.

Obviously it was always going to fail, the more you abstract away ownership the less people will be interested in buying.

I would like to join this alliance

The corporate destruction and subsequent ridiculous fallout is incredibly disco elysium, I’m 100% here for all the successor studios. I’m especially interested in a game about being a reporter.

It’s been awhile, but from what i remember they definitely expected to have more episodes to tell the full story that they just didn’t get.

That’s just a page from the monster musume manga, not a hentai

Nope, girl. If it’s who i think it is anyway.
