Sounds like the right policy for after the bubble pops, not before.

Public opinion is/has turning/turned on Trump, and yet the libs still manage to make it about Russian bots... you can't make this shit up.

I'd like to think it will actually make a more stable Europe, once enough of them realize the US is not their friend and they need to fast-track decoupling.

It wasn't all that long ago, this was the pitch for a capitalist world; everyone is too economically interdependent to realistically go to war with each other.

Obviously in practice, its a lot more messy than that. Great powers are pretty much free to make war on whatever small countries they like. But we may not see any of them take a total war footing in our lifetimes. Peer to peer conflict is self destruction. The columnists and news pundits and other such clergy, the people who exist to find justifications for whatever rich powerful people were gonna do anyway, they may not like it -- but this is the world they argued for.

Being polite to others in your day-to-day even when you strongly disagree can be... aggravating sometimes... and people need an outlet. I would consider most of the language here to be venting frustrations - which (in any setting) trend toward the colourful and hyperbolic for the catharsis of merely saying it, rather than expressing genuine intent.

Is a joke. Mostlyes.

oh my bad, I could have sworn it was free... it's also been a decade since I've looked at it...

I miss TF2 updates, cool to see this formatted like one.

Earmarking the boat docked in the harbor is interesting, Borealis reference maybe?

Game you buy vs free game, if we're taking this seriously. Any free to play game is gonna have a larger install base of kids, simply because they don't have money.
