Please stop the ride, I want off
"Good News, Everyone!"
-Climate Change
I would like to sell my soul in exchange for dominion over the Earth!
"Sorry dude... not with that soul.
Best I can do is assistant manager at the Arby's down the street. I'll even throw in some heroin, you're gonna need it."
Nuclear winter fell way back in the pack, but it's catching up to Climate Change, AI, and biological weapons as humanity's self inflicted doom.
Damn, I was rooting for Skynet.
Also our for profit, punitive, non-rehabilitative, largest population on Earth prison system doesn't help, with more than 2 million Americans behind bars, largely for being too poor to navigate our pay to play judicial system.
You know, freedom!
This again is why modern gamers are just fucking impossible to please. Bethesda gives you BOTH options. If you need to get to a planet from one solar system to another, you CAN just press a button and be on that other planet, or in its orbit if you haven't been on it yet.
But that's just it, you CAN instead pull up your starmap once that mission is active, see the star you're at, and all the little dots youll follow to get where you're going. You can then jump to each dot on the way, look around, scan planets, get hailed by ships, visit places your scans found, etc on your way to your mission. Doing this, you'll often get sidetracked with another mission, the choice is yours. They dumbed down interstellar travel as hard as they could without it no longer resembling what interstellar travel would be like.
I'm of the opinion thats what Bethesda wants you to do, and the fast travel is just for people who want to level/"beat" the game quickly as its own end instead of taking it all in, possibly and understandably due to player time constraints.
Fast travel is a convenience feature. People would be bitching if it wasn't in there. Sometimes you just want to zip back to
WhiterunDiamond CityNew Atlantis to sell some crap.Hello ad hominem slinging capitalist.

Reddit users who switched to Lemmy, what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?
It's sad so many capitalism cheerleaders migrated here, considering most of us are literally here fleeing capitalist greed rot.
Some just refuse to learn. The sunk cost fallacy of "I've committed my life to this thing, and no amount of evidence will ever make me accept my mistake as a mistake!"
Should have just stayed to be disrespected by Spez in the name of his profit. He's a good capitalist.
The United States was dealt its final blow half a century ago at the hands of an Alzheimer's patient by the name of Ronald Reagan.
This is the necrotic stage.
Humanity is doomed in the short term by its own hand, and that is the absolute best fucking thing that can happen for the planet and the other life on it medium to long term.
We appear to be a self-solving blight upon the natural world. As the late, great George Carlin put it, the planet is ramping up to "shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance."
As a species, we've proven beyond all doubt that we are too malicious to be stewards of this world, and too self-important to ever peacefully recede in numbers in order to find equilibrium with this world as inhabitants, rather than have dominion over it.
Our macro-cancer ass of a species has got to go.
Nobody panic!
The only people that matter, who also happen to be the ones that caused and continue to exacerbate the climate apocalypse knowingly for private profit, have built luxury bunker complexes in temperate places like New Zealand to shield themselves from the consequences of their own actions.
No one important is in danger, just us billions of disposable capital batteries, no biggie.
Now get back to work! The owners/Pharoahs/oligarchs/beloved job creators have quarterly ego score expectations to exploit out of you before you die of heat stroke as a result of your bad decisions, like being poor!
Jesus.
Only because I want to see how Right wing "Christians" would react to being faced with their messiah being a middle-eastern globalist communist that preaches love and acceptance.
Cloned, cultured meat just got FDA approval and I feel like im the only one excited about it.
I enjoy eating meat too much, but the cruelty gets to me. Grown, real meat would solve this at a fraction of the emissions to produce.

It makes me mad at myself, but his fear and confusion in that moment was cathartic. You have to hurt a lot of people eyes wide open to actually deserve the suffering of witnessing your own mind and sense of self crumbling from the inside, but Reagan was and McConnell is on that list.
We at least got to witness him experience a tiny sliver of the shame, pain, and terror of the Americans he inflicted his cruelty on for decades with a shit eating grin so he could cut his own taxes and that of his country club friends on the backs of hard working, struggling human beings.
No sympathy for the devil. I'll remember you this way, Mitch. Now go fade away you spooky, sociopathic fuck.
The United States has the most comprehensive social safetynet and system of redress on Earth.
...exclusively for the tiny sliver of the population that already owns everything and controls our government through institutionally legalized bribery.
As has happened for all of human history, we have devolved back to the golden rule: those with all the gold make the rules, and surprise surprise, the rules say they can't lose and you can't win.
It isn't double standards, it's patience for a fledgling replacement platform that seeks to free you from being a commodity to be exploited and sold, and lack of patience for the established, exclusively profit hungry platforms that continue to make your experience worse and disrespect you, solely to squeeze a few extra pennies out of you to meet insatiable, unquenchable growth/metastasis expectations.
It's the difference between yelling at a professional pickpocket trying to rob you and a kid who is screwing up trying to help you. Resources matter, but more importantly, motivations matter.
Fuck China, and fuck the United States I live in. The nations of the Nordic region and a few other developed nations have my respect because they respect and value their citizenry. Their economy is a tool that is used to facilitate the distribution of goods and services for the benefit of their society and its citizens, what an economy is supposed to be, instead of doing it ass backwards as we do, hurting citizens to protect the beloved fucking economy and the growth/metastasis expectations of the owner class.
China/The US/Russia are the world leaders in exporting the notion that their citizens should be exploited to stoke the growth of the economy for the benefit of their respective elites. Whoever wins, their people lose.
Why should I go rah rah America when most stakeholders in our society are not meaningful institutional shareholders in the value society produces?
It shouldn't be about saying simon says or coming out of a rich vagina or if not making perfect economic decisions and kissing ass from age 18, begging to be included and killing yourself for masters who were born into wealth for a small chance of being included in the prosperity of the prosperous nation you're supposedly a member of.
And don't you just love the class traitors here that come out to celebrate the failures of citizens who tried? oh you took out student loans in a subject that in hindsight didn't pay dividends, haha loser. Oh you just started working and didnt get an education and are stuck in the underclass, haha loser. That's what it means to be an American, rooting against one another as the owner class laughs.
Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.
Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I'd go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.
There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It's never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.
It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist's livestock.
