NEOliberals absolutely would. I'm not accusing the minority within the majority members like Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez of such things.

Both parties literally put blinders on for places like Saudi Arabia because they're good customers for our military industrial complex.

Externality: Noun - Capitalist term for "I already got your fucking money, so my mess is your problem you fucking sucker peasants 🖕🤑💰"

"What an absolute disgrace! We must not allow this travesty to continue!

The Union of Concerned Scientists must be punished, in order to protect our beloved economy and the quarterly earnings of private shareholder portfolio staples like Tyson foods/TSN!"

-Neoliberals to fascists, probably

But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders!

Thats why I choose to be a pessimist. It eliminates disappointment.

Expect the worst from humans and you'll usually end up being factually correct, you'll never be disappointed, and occasionally, if the moon and the stars align, you just might be pleasantly surprised about something at some point in your life, just don't count on it.

Optimism looks fucking exhausting when dealing with our gem of a species. Being let down most of the time and still putting on a smile for the next disappointment you won't expect 5 minutes later. Looks like masochism minus the sexual pleasure. Good luck with that optimists!

Human self-importance.

We think we're magic, despite the fact we aren't built for high g dogfights at all.

Kind of the same reason us being space colonizers is a pipe dream at this stage in our civilization. We can get a dozen highly trained peak human specimens to grow potatoes on Mars as a symbol, and I'm all for that, but not regular people. One mistake everybody dead, one cabin fever victim in the right position everybody dead. We literally can't even care for the almost infinitely forgiving habitat we evolved out of that's perfectly suited to our biology, and all that would require is stop actively, recklessly fucking it up.

The base game is prettier and more stable in my few playthrough hours with the update.

I miss mods, but this was a significant improvement to the base game imho, especially base visuals, and mods will come.

Honestly the last time I launched the game in an unmodded, un-community patched state, a couple years ago to be fair, it crashed every half hour or so for me from runtime errors, so this feels like a more stable bedrock on which to build.

Just one Bethesda fan's perspective.

Capitalists don't care about making quality products/services.

They care about squeezing more profit out of you as time goes on.

I use the "I just want to tell you (both/all) good luck, we're all counting on you" line irl sometimes.

My humble dream is that one day, before I'm dead, someone will get it.

It's not the dev's fault, they make what they're told to make. But the President of media enshittifier MAXHBODISCOVERYDUOPOLY has stated that is what they will continue to force feed us in lieu of content we purchase to then enjoy full stop.

 
 

If you're unwilling to earnestly, critically examine/scrutinize your beliefs, and discard them in failing that scrutiny or in light of new information, you are doomed to stagnate as a individual.

An important sentiment in these times of belligerent, entrenched ideologies imho.
