This is all your fault.

apropos of nothing, here are some loading screen quotes from Spec Ops: The Line

we weren't true rural (small town) but we lost power once for 11 straight days in a winter storm. We were fine, but that absolutely could have killed people.

Rlly funny to try and complain about me by pointedly misgendering me to my manager. Congratulations, he is now automatically backing me up regardless of what I did.

The lack of self awareness is just flabbergasting. He'd rather die trying to make something he believes in, like Toy Story 5, then allow "crap" like queer representation

The boomers are obsessed with ensuring no one inherits anything. They're paranoid they're going to die so they've chosen to speed run destroying America's international goodwill to deny their pending demise.
Thanks guys! I didn't want a functioning ecosystem or international order!

Born and raised in Appalachia here,
did that actually happen? Because I seem to have a different memory of the fallout of that.
Also, Asheville isn't rural. It's a city

At the same time, we are deeply disappointed that Governor Newsom chose to veto AB 554 and SB 418 β€” two commonsense measures that would have removed barriers to HIV prevention and safeguarded access to care for transgender Californians,” continued Hoang. β€œAs the Trump administration doubles down on its efforts to restrict access to care for transgender people and dismantle federal protections for HIV prevention, California should be doing everything possible to protect those most at risk. These bills would have guaranteed that transgender people and their families could continue to access essential medications without disruption and that people at risk of HIV could obtain PrEP quickly and affordably. The Governor’s decision to veto these measures undermines California’s longstanding leadership in advancing health equity and protecting the LGBTQ+ community.”

Lol at citing them saying they're disappointed in his vetoes.

I wonder if you would say that if it was your civil rights being thrown under a bus for political expediency? Because words drive actions, and Newsom is showing where his values are

Too often Americans fail to ask ourselves "What would I think if this happened to me?"
So we act like monsters and then are surprised when we get bitten

BD-1 has been solidly kicked out of the number 2 slot for my favorite droids. I love this queen

Finally got around to watching Solo and I love L3 so much I cannot put it in words.
One of my main beliefs about Star Wars is that it has never seriously engaged with the concept of droid sentience enough and L3 is PERFECT at it. She finally is the droid I've wanted

New Vegas is a continuation of 1 and 2 into a new world, not the ashes of a dead one forever

Is it? Because Fallout 1 and 2 are inherently about the world rebuilding. Tandi was a child in 1 and is the leader of a proper nation by Fallout 2. The series has been based on the idea that mankind will recover. it is optimistic, not pessimistic

Every New Vegas DLC is riffing on this core theme.
Honest Hearts is about letting go of innocence and embracing the world.
Old World Blues is being stuck in the past. Never growing.
Dead Money is letting go, beginning again.
Lonesome Road is about learning to change.

That's because New Vegas ISN'T post apocalyptic. New Vegas is post post apocalyptic. The old world is dead and the new world is taking its first faltering steps. Vegas is about rebuilding and what comes next!
There is a reason Dead Money is about LETTING GO, AND BEGINNING AGAIN

it is rlly heartbreaking as an a Appalachian trans woman to see this happen without a word of backlash. It's a real "you can't go home again" for me. To feel glares every time I go back

Katherine Thompson, a former deputy senior adviser at the Pentagon during this Trump administration, said then-President Joe Biden had diminished some of the stockpile of interceptors by sending them to Ukraine.

β€œIt was a short-term win for the Biden administration but a long-term strategic problem for the United States as a whole,” said Thompson, who left her Pentagon position in October and is now a senior fellow in defense and foreign policy studies at the libertarian Cato Institute. β€œI would hope that the Trump administration doesn’t make that same mistake here.”

we love the short-term gain of degrading one of our main geopolitical adversaries vs the long-term gain of starting a new forever war in the Middle East

I think they're bad parents because doctors and nurses are telling them what they should do and instead they're listening to a 22 year old nick shirley fuck on tiktok or a man with literal brain worms.
