I left my bike at the distribution centre and walked. But my partner actually made that drive. I still think walking was faster though. But it doesn’t matter that much… You’ll be out of the tutorial area soon. My advice is to just go. You’ll get things that can traverse faster than a bike later in the game, and you can come back and 5 star things in that area later.

Also, just a tiny bit later in the game you’ll have bikes coming out of your ears. It’s fine to just abandon them when they’re no longer convenient.

Edit: Also, there’s a mechanic in the game that makes a path over your most travelled routes. So it gets easier the next time around.

I actually thought that was a bit of an overreaction, but I still appreciated the sentiment.

I wasn’t able to find what brought that on in the modlog, and his whole posting history was deleted(!). I was really curious about what he said, and after having found and read it… wow. Thank you.

I haven’t played it yet, but in a similar vein, Squad 22: ZOV is a recent Russian game that depicts the Ukraine war. The American response was also quite predictable. Although it is heartening to see a number of steam reviewers calling them out for review bombing it.

Immigration opponents say the crackdown will translate into more and better-paying jobs for native-born Americans.

As a native born of Turtle Island, I would like to wish all these native-born Americans a nice big “Fuck you.”

Odd. It works fine for me on Android and Desktop Linux Firefox. Perhaps Apple specific?

On the Ukraine front, Russia is definitely still winning. You can check the maps yourself for the high level. I’m not sure where these 10s of miles are that they advancing, but I don’t see it on a map of Ukraine.

On the lower level, the Ukrainian armed forces appears to just barely be holding on. Most of their true believers are dead, and they are increasingly relying on people that they kidnapped. They are taking massive disproportionate casualties, and as we can clearly observe from NATO panic, Russia is winning in the materiel war as well. This is a war of attrition, and Russia is decisively winning. Hell, even the messaging from on high has changed from saying that Ukraine is winning to Ukraine can still win if NATO just sanctions a bit more and sends more guns. This is also not working, and NATO knows that they cannot keep up with even their existing pace forever.

I’m honestly not sure that there is a plan. It’s just racism with a side of exceptionalism. The idea is that the great and powerful US military can bomb anyone they want with impunity, so long as they aren’t a nuclear power. And with the meerest hint of possibility that Iran might become a nuclear power soon, it’s a good time to go bombing again. They’ve been talking for years about how much they wanted to.

Is this how the Israelis feel? Tense?

I work with one. She whined about being afraid to the whole company.

Chinese Spy submarine.

See my edit. But here’s the thing. We have video of the moon landing and rocks from the actual moon. That’s solid evidence. We have plenty of evidence of the atom existing, because half our tech wouldn’t work if they didn’t exist.

Where is the evidence of a massacre at tiananmen square? Please read the links I gave you.

Edit: please remember, you said that this was an easily disprovable conspiracy theory.

To deny the events that unfolded at Tiananmen Square is like denying that humans have been to the moon. It’s an unfounded, in fact, disprovable conspiracy theory.

So prove it to us then. All you’re doing right now is scolding us for being insane conspiracy theorists. I’ve never seen any evidence that anything happened at tiananmen square. Reports from people who were actually there all say that there was no massacre

The US has a very long history of lying about its enemies. There are plenty of declassified CIA docs that talk about what lies to tell the media. Why is this one different?

Edit: also, see pen names. Isn’t it a little hypocritical to call us conspiracy theorists when you come to the conclusion that the book was lies written by China or North Korea because you can’t find any information about the author?
