Hudders fan. I work in a pub and a care home in West Yorkshire.
I tried it again on PC and it was really depressing. Empty a world as LA Noire from 15 years ago.

This is the first truly right wing US government since the war though, snap, usaid etc are all at heart state socialist measures to artificially create internal demand. And in fairness, Nato's shield allowed anything close to actual democratic socialist societies to exist, in Europe.

There are vaults in Iraq with preposterous amounts of dollars the Americans flew in. One university in Zakho I went to had a safe with millions. Everyone on the faculty had five family members who also got paid in cash every week.

One doesn't need to be called a tankie to recognise their western hemisphere dominance doctrine has mostly been a disaster. It's really ironic that nato has been the one true multilateral success of the entire American project, and that they now hate it.

You can buy all the media corps and control the info but reality does ultimately exist particularly for the poorer but engaged section that makes up the majority of non partisan voters.

Sad chat after doing the pub quiz tonight with an old tory councillor who's been a member for fifty years. There's no one at meetings. They're lib dems or reform now.

It actually worked a bit like the virus at the end did on the human crew, making me aware of the commonality even between insects and mammals. We've all got a common ancestor eventually.

I honestly put it down to curing my arachnophobia. Started seeing them as cool little guys like ladybirds or small mammals.

I've got this flask made out of laptop heat sinks that cools formula down to from boiling to room temp in about 45 seconds. It's pure alchemy and makes the milk making cycle 95% easier.

In the first it was great until all the equipment was just type IV upgrades. Still tempted even though I'm being delusional on prospective playing time.

I do a rendition of "if i can dream" by Elvis that has had a dozen people come up to me after and say they didn't know I could sing.
