Sadly how it goes in the western world
And then there's people wondering why nationalism is making a comeback, and politicians are seen as traitors in need of a hanging

XSI

One should see the economic growth along with inflation If it is expected to grow by 0.2% this year, but inflation will be 1% or more this year, then it will be a 0.8% net loss even if the numbers go up Same for any raises or wage changes you may have- If you get less than inflation, or nothing, the...

Over here, public transport works fine Or fine-ish anyway. It's been getting steadily worse for decades now But of course, to encourage public transit use the gov raises vehicle and fuel taxes And then the next government decides to encourage vehicle ownership by raising tax on public transport fare...

XSI

It's still cheaper, or more 'economical' to just make a shitload of single use plastic shit

And a lot of people still believe 'economy' more valuable than anything else in life
I'd call it insanity, but society has determined that these people are 'sane'

XSI

Being entirely fair If it is a failed continent, it's in part because the US has been fucking about the place for ages and messing it up for their own profit and political goals There's a lot of bad shit down there, but it's at least got potential to become good with some effort. Unlike Africa or th...

It's also what happens to large parts of the population under communism

XSI

I thought that game died a long time ago

XSI

Their razors are shit anyway
Shaves like crap and then they're useless with just a few uses. Planned obsolescence at its worst, you basically have to keep buying more of their shit if you get started

Or you know
Get proper quality razors from somewhere else

XSI

The hard part is mostly the AI mismanaging their parts of your kingdom, and you can't just own everything yourself
Vassals are tards, but you're essentially forced to use them

And then eventually your ruler dies and the next heir is a lunatic moron, then the vassals all try to fight you

XSI

Makes sense to me

They're not in the business of judging what you're into. They just give you a platform to upload it to

XSI

Everything has been done, at least you copied one that won't sue

XSI

I'm pretty sure what's going to happen is just more mess and more drama with less results

XSI

I think I'm suffering from vidya midlife crisis. Like despite having quite a lot of time to play, I can't engage with a long story or open ended games anymore. I've bought all the dlcs for Stellaris, I've played few hours, it was fun, I did enjoy it. But, then, I stopped playing, and I can't bring ...

XSI

They're never going to agree on anything because of multiple factors

There's people actively trying to sabotage it and everything is fucked

XSI

There are some advantages to taking things historically, but there is nothing stopping you from deciding that crusades aren't worth your time, the new world is unnecessary and France should really colonize Siberia instead That is, unless you care about doing things the best way, because historically...

XSI

I just realized I'm a weeb

Someone linked me a comic and I tried to read right to left while wondering why it made no sense
I've eaten a full meal with chopsticks only before
And I've watched at least one season of anime
How can I live with myself now?

XSI

They are and have admitted to such, so...I'm not really sure what the point of that was

XSI

"Motive unclear" is how they try to skew the statistics, since 'racists' are using statistics to show that some religions are just more violent and incompatible with functional civilisation

XSI

Most mass shootings are not reported by the media
Are you asking for how many media-spectacle shootings or the total shootings including those forgotten by everyone not directly involved?

XSI

Almost done with 2k18
Any predictions for 2k19?

XSI

Might have something to do with how you can just make the rare resources on your planets
Which of course means that they'll never be truly expensive, or rare. Just a manufactured resource you can make along with consumer goods and alloys

XSI

Playing the occasional touhou game
I used to be really good at these. Now I'm not

XSI

They have this weird thing where species population will always grow toward an equilibrium of diversity So if you have a planet nearly full of your native species and get one immigrant, your native species will go into decline because the game always works toward a 1:1 ratio between all species, ev...

XSI

That they're not capable of coding a system where both species can grow at the same time, probably
Yet you can have pop growth at the same time as robotics being build

XSI

They're trying at least
Even if we really should expect better than 'trying' from a game costing more than AAA titles

XSI

"just pointless posturing" describes the entire Brit government as far as I can tell

XSI

Don't those usually fit together?

XSI

I saw those servers

Played on one once, and then it just didn't seem like it was anything special

XSI

They should just let you play as the crisis invaders
At least that way you can say the AI deserved it when you beat them up again and again

XSI

>Shouted another advert for Allah's snackbar

Suuuure

XSI

Pretty sure there's no winning for her
Sucks and all, but that's part of the job

XSI

What I'm saying is that I should be in charge of everything so I can tell idiots everywhere to stop trying to fuck up the internet and other things Also that experts should be advisors who are listened to for technical details, realism and at times moral quandaries, not people told to just make the ...

XSI

Delegating the power to make laws is a pretty terrible and bad idea for many reasons. Most of them obvious That's the one thing you should expect government to do, it's literally the reason government exists in the modern world I don't have any idea how anyone would deem such a system acceptable Con...

XSI

There used to be treaties about individual things and that worked fine Then the EU showed up and combined them all, adding on a layer of attempting to unify europe on top And now we suddenly can't do individual things anymore because the old treaties were combined and NOPE no going back ever? That's...

XSI

The easy solution is to take every single topic and reach an agreement on a per-topic basis. Airspace stuff? Make a treaty that governs that so airspace isn't a problem anymore Inteligence sharing? Make a treaty for that so that counter-terrorism can continue working Border stuff? Make a treaty just...

XSI

Could always get some mods to tweak the difficulty to your liking

XSI

I'm pretty sure 'contempt' is the only thing brits feel for any branch of their government at this point

XSI

Don't say it too loudly, he might actually win

Macron isn't very popular after all

Really all you needed to say.

Nobody reads that shit because it's written in legalese and has more pages than most short novels
And that's the entire point of it, make it as difficult to read and/or understand as possible so they can push whatever they want

XSI

I'm not a fan of article 13 purely because it's more EU shit being thrown around without ever giving the national governments any real input Written by lobbyists, for lobbyists. I've not read it, but I also don't believe for a second that it can be a good thing given how cartoonishly stupid the prev...

XSI

To be fair sarcasm does not at all work well with just text

XSI

I'm trying to tell if this is sarcastic They have to be kept out by teargassing them after they broke through the first set of obstacles I'm pretty sure that means its time to actually fund some manner of security rather than using the army Also >Ireland >Fights against the Brits to keep an Irish I...

Being self-sufficient is always good It's nice to trade and everything but if you don't have to trade then you're in a much better position on deals you want to make You could just walk away, after all. You've got your self-sufficiency so the only things you're losing out on are luxuries you can't m...

XSI

Sorry, you'll have to get used to that
For the majority of people, their time in education will be the time they are asked to abide by the harshest standards in their entire life

XSI

See, that shit is why nobody takes the news agencies serious anymore. Among many other reasons They're not even hiding that they're told to push an agenda and are given a script to read Fucking schoolkids know that they need to change a few words and maybe intentionally mess up spelling if they copy...

The entire ranking/matchmaking system is pretty much a joke, so I figured I wouldn't include it

They stopped after they were found out
By the Catholic church of all people

XSI

At this point you would need to be stupid to not believe in some form of conspiracy theory There's been a shitload that have been declassified too, so it's hard to blame anyone who doesn't believe the government on anything The UK and Germany have hidden immigrant crime for decades, US based NGOs ha...

It's only been 11 months, anyone could make that mistake
