I’m very excited/interested to see how the CPC tackles the housing problem in Hong Kong. This is a great development to see

Fallout 3 and New Vegas maybe fit, can definitely choose to gun down a lot of Americans. Feels good

The Peoples Republic of China lead by Deng Xiaoping mod for Civ 6 is also great, though probably a bit OP. I think its not on steam workshop anymore but you can find download online

Quake, Civ 3 and Serious Sam for me. So glad I grew up on PC games

I’m in western Canada a and while there are a lot of Ukrainian nationalists and hardcore neolibs here I feel like I hear from them a lot less now than I did a year ago in regards to the conflict. Definitely see far fewer Ukraine flags on cars and what not now.

I very rarely hear the topic come up in normal day to day conversation but when it does typically the consensus is that our country shouldn’t waste money on or get involved in the conflict as there are a lot of problems at home.

I couldn’t believe how rough and run down the NYC subway system was when I visited. At least they have a somewhat adequate number of lines and what not, compared to somewhere like Toronto which has probably 1/6 the size of a subway network a city of its population and wealth should have. Hard to say what is worse.

I’m going to see Lana Del Rey in like a month and it’s all I can think about, so excited lol

Vaporwave is so fun, I miss the 2015-16 (i think anyway) time when it was new and popular, always loved the art/aesthetic too

Dance music is my main shit, I listen to primarily house, garage and drum and bass.

Also listen to a ton of afrobeats/afropop, drill, rap, r&b, pop, also like some 70s/80s rock, folk and modern indie stuff as well

I like to think I can enjoy some stuff from most any genre but if I had to pick one probably like really hard metal ? Not familiar with the exact terminology, but I find it very grating and not in a satisfying way. Also isn’t a lot of it pretty nazi adjacent/outright nazi ? I may just be very ignorant of the genre but yea

How could you say they aren’t moving towards economic integration when bilateral trade between member nations has increased significantly in the past decade ? That’s not even to mention the increasing amount of trade being settled in local currencies and the creation of the NDB in 2014.

Sounds like you might not know what you’re talking about but idk

Agreed, I wish my club were fan owned but it will never be possible at this point unless something drastic happens. Can’t stop supporting them though

RT reporting that he was listed on the passenger list of crashed plane and that there are no survivors https://www.rt.com/russia/581729-wagner-chief-plane/

I am so unbelievably sick of reading about Saudi Arabia in regards to European football and the wildly eurocentric and xenophobic “enlightened thinkpieces” that there have been a true glut of recently.

Modern KSA is obviously not an ideal setup, but good lord nothing gets Englishmen foaming at the mouth like a brown person having more money than them. It’s not an issue at all if Americans buy up the league and spend a billion pounds in a year on players, but as soon as it’s an Arab or Chinese it is just a bridge too far for them.

Football is my cognitive dissonance zone, the top level game just cannot be enjoyed if you don’t approach it with a healthy level of dissonance. The corruption and exploitation is rampant all across the sport, please just let me ignore it in peace lol. Can’t even go to r/soccer for news now without getting myself wound up.

I’ve seen the National Geographic clothes here in Canada but CNN brand clothing is just something else

Parties during that week would be unreal

I guess that just goes to show how strong the propaganda and mythology of the “free market” and liberal economics really is. I mean, literally less than a decade ago where I live they finished privatizing the telecom services, and internet/phone/TV have probably roughly doubled in price since then, if not more. Ask anyone and they will say that its worse now, yet many of those people would still support privatizing hydro or insurance or whatever. Mind boggling.

I know for a fact that there are many chomping at the bit to privatize the electricity infrastructure in my province, which is hilarious to me because our significant hydro electric generation capabilities are one of the only competitive advantages we have here. If anything we should be expanding our infrastructure, selling electricity to other provinces and states, and encouraging things like data centers and what not to set up shop here. Instead I would not be surprised if we end up like Alberta sometime in the next 10-20 years.

There is nothing more liberal than getting irrationally upset over things based solely upon how you feel about them and nothing that is actually grounded in reality

All of history is just a series of random unconnected events and coincidences, there is no way to know or analyze anything so why bother trying - Liberals
