Complacency is not as bad as direct support. The blood is as much on his hands. Tax payers participated indirectly without their consent.

Nope! No interest at all. I definitely don't regret it as a millennial.

I have always been fine with children. I think seeing other people raise them with love and care and real emotional availability is the most heartening thing ever! I've even teared up a little when i see them do it well and with real emotional availability.

I was never interested but i had the question about whether i would with the right partner well into my 20's. I never felt like it was something missing from my life. Now that I'm older i see my friends all across the spectrum about the choice from joy to regret. I am confident, learning about time commitment, cost, and thinking about the liability of a human life, that i would be deep on the regret end. In fact i see not having children as the best choice I've made in life.

I'm thoroughly happy and content being child free.

Yeah... Nixon was flying a cessna while Reagan was strapping into an SR-71... No less culpable tho.

Real men are also able to access their emotions, express their needs(both emotional and physical), develop and share empathy, and nurture deep relationships within their community.

Though i would argue none of what either of us said has to do with gender.

Relentlessly locking your own humanity away behind a strong man facade built on shame is one of the biggest reason these fuckers become so hateful and make "manliness" seem like such a putrid prospect.

Something something 1930's Germany.

Cool, you failed to read the second sentence. That article on mutual aid is fucking insane and paints an idiotic picture on mutual aide. The taliban and religious charity are simply not mutual aid groups, what the fuck. Whole page feels like it was written by a fox news intern...

I'll give ya so much as we have two interpretations i guess. Mine aligned better with the article on "Radical Politics".

Anyone reading in the future just note the timestamp.

Where did you get violent extremism from? That's not radicalization. Though some people who are radicalized choose to incorporate violence as part of direct action it is extremely rare.

Do some mutual aid for starters. (This is what I've done, among other things, i will not elaborate.)

If you want to fight back on this particular issue and have tech skills you can run counter-intel and expose fashy heritage foundation boys or you could do other methods like decoy or feed false identifying info.

I'm happy anyone gets motivated to take action. Just a little surprised that it startes with wikipedia editors and not, just for example, palestine or women's bodily autonomy.

Haha no daggerfall for me.

THIS is the line for you? In spite of everything else?

Each successive TES game has relied more on procedural content, levelled lists, and repeated content(radiant).

These serve to reduce workload for Bethesda, they can make a larger game with less resources/staff, but removes artists further from the specific details in the world.

The parts of the world you enjoy are the one made by the creative process, the ones you don't come to expect, and the ones with thoughtful narrative. That's where the challenge, fun, and the humor in games comes from.

Procedural content specifically lacks this. The artist's touch only able to affect the architecture of the algorithm. It's good for stitching elements between the parts touched by the artist to create seemless transitions. But when used as a replacement for hand placing detail, it removes the creative process, thereby killing the source of enjoyment.

Leveled lists are a big annoyance because they remove danger from the world. Skyrim did have some notable exceptions: giants, a couple odd caster npc's, the frost troll on the way to the greybeards, etc... But then you get issues like normal creatures being more dangerous than fucking dragons, which are supposedly uber powerful(?).

Radiant quests waste time for negligible reward. They're bad, uncreative practice imo.

1/3 normal election with new candidate 1/3 trump dies for whatever reason, probably choking on taco bell 1/3 fascist takeover (though the term "president" may not apply, and it may not be him running things). I think enough dems would flip if threatened with terrorism charges for normal politics being interpreted as protest or whatever other laws originally made in reaction to far right acts of terror.

So imo, 50%, mostly because we have 4 years of extremely uncertain change that can occur.

Lots but a couple of note:

Health insurance already has deals with pharmaceuticals and hospitals to charge a specific rate. The buy in on these deals is cost prohibitive to some degree. Think legal and administrative cost, especially when working between municipalities and States, let alone from hospital to hospital.

Health sharing ministries are a form of this. They have tied the concept to religious roots which is often limiting e.g. women's and queer healthcare. They also have horror stories in the same abubdance as the big corps.

There's nothing technically stopping a coop from forming short of startup capital and legal status. But those are insanely large hurdles.
