The fae are real, it's just that they're chatbots on the internet that we have to carefully maneuver around

People act as if "bread and circuses" was this scam the Roman Empire ran to keep the people as complacent sheeps or whatever, without realizing that being fed and being entertained are basically the only two things people care about, and that anyone who provides that is going to avoid collapse

The Roman Empire didn't fall because it tried to keep everyone placated with bread and circuses, it fell because it could no longer provide that stability to its people

75,000 Redditors are about to become even more insufferable than they already are

The Metro series has mushroom vodka as well

Retvrn to getting shot at by six men named Ezekiel for daring to cross a border into Mormon territory

I still can't believe that we were all told by Porky and Biden that the giant black cloud engulfing East Palestine was actually perfectly safe, and every Lib just went "okay"

I had literally never seen any version other than the knife one and imagined it was from some schlock paperback from the 70s or something

I have had not one, but three different video interviews

You get sent a link by the company and have only a limited time to set up and answer the questions provided by video. You have a few seconds to read the question, then one take to answer it

Probably one of the most degrading and humiliating anti-autism hiring tests I've ever had to do

Fair, bit of a failure of reading on my part

As a U.S. American, I know I wouldn't trust my government or politicians to do anything but enrich themselves at my expense, but I don't have to; my rights are guaranteed by our constitution

This is meant in good faith: A constitution does not protect or guarantee any rights

A constitution is just a piece of paper that says what rights should be protected, but at the end of the day, it's just words on a page. There is no power in it. Any protections offered by it - and any ability to prosecute failures of it - are enforced by the same state that has the power to change, interpret, or ignore it

Using a constitution as a legal framework for arguments is fine. Expecting it to protect you from government overreach is, unfortunately, naive. If the government - any government - chooses to violate the constitution, then your only recourse is to hope that same government prosecutes itself, and that's never going to happen. And if the government ever turns to full fascism, the constitution sure as shit won't stop a fascist bullet in its tracks either

Also, in what world do US politicians not use their position to enrich themselves at their constituents' expense? That's basically all they do, and occasionally make laws. If you truly believe that any politician of any party in the US is working out of the goodness of their hearts and a supreme love of the constitution and helping people, then I would sincerely suggest you ignore any offers of people selling bridges, no matter how good the deal

He was engaged by the Ghost of St. Petersburg, Ghost of Volgograd, and Ghost of Moscow. It's a pretty tough boss fight, because all three are flying SU-57s and spam QAAMs, and once you take out two of them the remaining one goes into a second phase where he starts calling in laser artillery

The soundtrack is fucking sick though

Anyway once he beats the final boss he'll come back
