Russia does not have a planned economy. The state does like to extort, terrorize and rob business owners who get big enough, but you can have that in capitalism. In communism, there is categorically no such thing as a business owner.

People need to learn other words for "incompetent centralized state" than "communism", or you just look like the mirror of one braincell leftists who call everything they don't like "nazi fascists", except you're not winning.

fellas, is it gay when a woman speaks in a piece of fiction

Ok, I mean, I get the desire for gritty warband-society fiction, but having zero women is not a natural or optimal state of most societies. The Harry Potter example is strange - I have never seen a single complaint that it has too many female characters for the male readership's taste, until now, I suppose. And superhero comics? Really? You mean those superhero comics that famously don't have women acting with agency on par with men, ever?

A future of "everyone is suiting up in hazmat or staying home in a manner reminiscent of COVID paranoia but justified" does not sound appealing either. Also it's not just hazmat but a thousand other precautions against any number of threats. It just won't be viable to live in a community larger than the Dunbar number, although I see how some people would see that as a plus.

"Land of the free" was coined in the era where the average TTK per capita was quite a bit longer than what the author is proposing.

As I understand the strait did not need American escorting until the decisive victory of America. If true, then for how long does America need to expend extra effort escorting ships through the strait before it stops looking like America gained something?

Welcome back, Tropico 2!

Started a fresh Quasimorph save recently as well. It is, as usually, a bit tiresome that some upgrade branches are bottlenecked by things like raw ore which seem to only be found in a very select few stations in the inner system, or half a year of travel away.

Your thought process kind of sounds like all the trans people who end up calling themselves some stripper name like Lola or Lilith or Brayden.

So... did you get laid?

I haven't checked all of those links but from what I recall of your previous LLM Evangelion smut, it was just watering the prompt down with meaningless (and very aislop-coded) prose. If that's your criteria for good authors I suppose you can stick with AI. Any amateur "bad" human author would add more creative input on accident, let alone if he tried.

Cowards! I see it as a very good laugh.

The warrior class in the past seems to have been a lot more at ease with naked conquest. It wasn't until mass citizen-conscript armies were a thing that "defending things" became the go-to casus belli.

The warrior class is still there but you can't conscript those en masse, there aren't enough of them. Hence the frustration that young men are being "lumps".

I think it's less about the economic zone thing and more about all those things you listed not actually being "defended" by aggressive adventures across the globe.

I count personal concern as something that immediately threatens your person. Being concerned that they might hurt someone, or themselves, is more like civic concern.

I think it is more likely that a room is abandoned for a decade or a few than that humans collectively drop back to the Stone Age.

In any case, if we do drop back to the Stone Age, we have bigger problems than not being able to read the classics.

As the joke goes...

The average encounter a citizen has with a cop is in the negative context. Copwaver Georg, who is in the cohort of the people who call the cops, including in situations that don't personally concern them, and makes sure to wave to every passing patrolman, thus racking up 1000 positive interactions with cops per month, is an outlier who should not be counted.

It might also be so that there is no longer an incentive to learn extinct languages such as 2026 English.

My intuition tells me it's easier to lapse in maintaining climate in a warehouse than lose disk reader technology.

I don't mean store the dead trees. I mean store the data, in free public access.

I think this is one of those moments where you'd want to step in in favor of the scoundrels of books, if you want a principled defense of the books you want saved. It seems like it was only yesterday folks were lamenting the original Dr Seuss books. Do you want to entrust anyone but yourself with the right to decide what is archived, and what is fed into the slopmachine and then wiped?

It was bad that they were sending them to the dump, too. It doesn't become less bad just because most people wouldn't think of it until now.

We have the storage. Billions of pulp novels must be uploaded. They were worth printing once, they are certainly worth archiving.

Would I rather be told that I'm worse off than I can feel I am, or told than I'm better off? The former.

And evidently even professionals who are proud to perform well aren't ashamed to do very fake and gay shit such as diving to scrounge up some extra points, if the game allows it.

I do not believe you can't imagine two kids who are equally good yet are of different races. I'm not talking about groups.

If I have to pick between being two equally good or retarded kids, but one gets charity while the other gets shut down and diminished for being a part of the group who "has it good enough as is", I'd rather be in the former group.

I wouldn't take the CCP's criticism as principled opposition to the values exhibited in the novel.

Now the thing with WtC is that it still has all those ruthless things and people, it's just that the protagonist has the cheat power to become stronger than everyone without resorting to doing things the hard and nasty way. It is also plainly stated in RY that Fang Yuan also tried to do things the nice way in his original life, it just didn't work out. I'd say both novels present their worlds and the way their dwellers react to those worlds consistently. It is also telling that, while Fang Yuan's antics are captivating for the pure number go up appeal, it's all the other major characters who are actually interesting people.

According to the research I remember it's more like "don't drink distilled water regularly" than "one glass and you suffer", and only the latter story would make sense as being made up so students don't drink lab-quantities of it.

As for technical ethanol, pretty sure they do treat it to taste foul at least.
