know its better to change to electric cars but for those that cant.

Cash for Clunkers precedes being able to buy an EV by a lot, that was always just a subsidy to car manufacturers

It's not really bad advice just because it's unrealistic advice

I think it's just more of the rot. Americans couldn't ever really afford cars to the extent that they were used, no society can. And I don't mean this on a moral ground or whatever, just economically it is a terrible, terrible system to uphold and only ever functioned due to absolutely gargantuan subsidies at every point

But, you know, that works for a while if your average consumer gets a nice treat, but it's simply unsustainable

Cars have always all been rental properties in pretty much everything but name.

Who the fuck buys new cars?

Companies I'd imagine

But I’m specifically thinking about our liberal democracy, however debased it may be.

Truly believing in nothing but process. Doesn't really matter what is done, as long as it's done democratically. Motherfucker liberal democracies come with an enshrined set of rights by way of constitution, once you change those enough it's not what is understood as a liberal democracy anymore. This is defending nothing against everything

Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, the VR Title. Super fun if you like to fuck around with weapons conceptually and out of interest.

Also the Sosig enemies are really growing on me, especially in VR. I played some blade and sorcery and I was like "no, too much, this just feels wrong". The Sosig enemies are good foes for a video game but they sidestep the whole feeling like a psychopath issue

Metal Gear Solid - been meaning to play through the franchise. Hoping a collection with MGS4 drops in the next year or two because emulating it still a pain

Don't fall for the people saying you can just watch it. It's like 99% true, but that 1%, comes right at the end, just can't hit the same

Who wouldn't be. Imagine if you just saw like a 12ft guy
