Planetary Genocide. Sisko did that.

They certainly are losing them to China. These people making these policies like the China Initiative are just sofa king dumb and racist, they literally welcomed Nazis and pushed out loyal US scientists of Chinese ethnicity. It will be their undoing.

The US is either really fcuking dumb, or they are trying to create China as a enemy by building them up. They tried this shit in the 1930s-1950s with Chinese scientists and ended up driving out the COFOUNDER of JPL, a loyal US scientist, and he became the father of the Chinese Rocket Program.

They are doing it again.

Reminder that China only pursued nukes after the US threatened to nuke Fujian province during the second Taiwan straight crises. So I guess the chickens came home to roost once again. Also, down with war mongers. China was first to make the no first use pledge 60 years ago, why won't the US to this day?

This wasn't an idle threat either by the US, they had Nike Hercules missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, on the island of Taiwan.

America only exists for capitalistic parasites to extract wealth from the working class. By 2050, everyone will recognize America as a second tier nation.

Congrats! LIfe is so much better without alcohol. Especially once you get past your college years. I can't recall the last time I had a drink, I think it's been about a year since my last single beer, and the last time I drank to the point of drunkeness was at a beer festival was in 2018.

I occasionally enjoy a non-alcoholic IPA, I like the taste.

Dang. My late GenXer brain can't remember that far back.

There was only one final fantasy game, a story about the Warriors of Light who must defeat the fiends who darkened the elemental crystals.

This Boeing Rocket Fiasco could end up being the Titan submersible disaster 2.0.

I played Skyrim up until the quest where you had to unite the leaders of the warring factions. I got bored, haven't picked it up since. This play through was this year in 2024, it was the anniversary edition, first time I had played it. The combat is boring, the armor got too good too fast, and it wasn't a challenge, so then go back to story, the story is not good either. Just not a fun game, no reason to keep playing.

They should have enforced a much more rigid class system, warrior, ranger (or thief), or spellcaster, and not allowed you to be anything you wanted. Elden Ring suffers the same, you can start as any class, but become anything you want. It defeats the purpose of class based systems. Also, there should have been much more armor and weapons choices for each of the classes.

Path of exile excels at class based choices and goes even further with ascendancy, so much more replay value.

A big part of all good fantasy games is the specialization and discovering new gear, abilities all the time, and fighting bad guys, not running around all the time doing boring quests, and then fighting boring dragons.
