Just some guy. Love talking about Byzantine history and science fiction. That's it about me. New Mexican in Oregon.

I feel like skyrim is the wrong comparison people keep making. It is more like a first person Isometric RPG like the other Pillars of Eternity games. Viewing it that way I've really enjoyed playing it. Also love the weird world.

I'm digging it a lot too. It reminded me of bioshock for some reason.

American Evangelicalism is anti-Christian.

It really makes me worry that all online information will be filtered through LLMs. How can you trust any information you get from them is real? Makes me want to buy an encyclopedia set.

Oh for sure! Getting anywhere outside of the Northeast/parts of the Midwest will be difficult and time consuming! The Southwest would suffer for sure, along with the Rocky Mountain States.

Half tempted to just quit my job and take the train haha. But seriously! They need to get a handle on it or the entire air travel industry will collapse. Which might be good for the environment in the long run but we have nothing to replace it.

I was thinking about taking a long ass AMTRAK ride back down to the Southwest in May instead of buying a plane ticket because of all these plane crashes. it would be literal days on the train though, and who has that kind of time off from work?

Please don't tell me this is a still from his Odyssey! I get doing the classical hoplite look but at least make it look good! You're Christopher Nolan! You can get a good costume designer!

Also didn't mean to imply you have a child's understanding of things, just that the meme's sentiment does.

Yeah no problem. I get the feeling. I've been in a black mood since November. The only thing I can say to fight that mood is to fight for the institutions that do help people and build new ones that can survive the storm. It's going to be difficult and scary but we have no other choice.

At most something like dividing the US and Canada like that would at best only delay the reaction to the dissatisfaction and not solve it. After all provinces like Alberta and Manitoba are almost as reactionary as American red states. What needs to change is how our economy is run 2/2

Gladly. The problems we are facing are a crisis in capitalism itself and the liberal world order that was created post Cold War. The feeling of being abandoned by the ruling class in favor of the rich is happening in places like Canada as much as they are happening here. 1/2

Yeah me neither. I'd be more for West Coast independence 😂

Not to mention all the people in red states that are not conservative themselves.
