  • If everyone were starving, dogs wouldn’t even be the best animal to raise.

    If you want efficienct conversion of feed to meat, you are going to get way more from poultry or fish. Insects would be probably the best, they convert extremely efficiently. Especially if you consider that they can process things that we cannot necessarily.

    If anything, they should be saying that people are having to rely on insect farms. There is nothing wrong with that, I like most insects I have eaten, but you would probably trigger roughly the same revulsion the propaganda is designed to elicit while being far more believeable.


  • They have long since found out that people will believe absolutely anything about the DPRK. People think that everyone pushes trains to work (instead of walking) and have state mandated haircuts.

    Even if you post factual evidence to the contrary, the thing that gets labelled as propaganda is the refutation. Obviously people can’t possibly all be housed, it is far more like that 50% of the population of DPRK are paid actors that just really care what people from the US think!


  • I am not going to say you can’t find love while involved in a political party, the best relationships I have had (including my current longterm one) all came about incidentally while involved in something else. But maybe that shouldn’t really be something the party is spending time focusing on.

    That aside, the terminology they are using is…really bad, both ways. Especially if you think identifying as a trot is a good thing.








  • Just started playing Citizen Sleeper 2. Really enjoyed the first one, and the second one seems to be pretty similar. Great writing and a pretty good adaptation of some TTRPG mechanics. My only real complaint has been that it can be hard to track what is going on at locations you aren’t currently at.

    I am looking forward to Civ VII and Monster Hunter Wilds…both which hit this month, unfortunately for my free time. I have no idea if it comes out this year but I am very interested in Endless Legend 2 as well.

    My Switch 1 was probably the least used console I have ever bought, it basically existed as my girlfriend’s animal crossing box, so I doubt I will consider the Switch 2 honestly. Especially since I have a steam deck now.

    They are absolutely THRILLED that Trump won. It means that they get to pat themselves on the back about being the heroic main character fighting against the evil empire. For four years! When in reality they are a mid-level bureaucrat that never made a stand against anything fascist in their life.

    If Harris had won, they wouldn’t have been as able to yell about what a heroic sacrifice they were making. They would have had to subsist on fantasizing about swooping in to “liberate Taiwan” and being feted by the people there.

    “There are always a lot of comments making false equivalencies about how the US is just as corrupt, unethical or oppressive”

    I agree entirely and I am glad somebody said it. It is absolutely crazy to think that China is anywhere near as bad as the US in those respects. I mean, China doesn’t make slave labour go fight fires even.

    That’s what they meant, right?



  • When I was much younger I lived in a big American Football town in the states, so I admittedly still have some affinity for it. It’s not great, and I hardly ever keep up with it after leaving the US, but it’s hard to totally shake something you grew up with.

    The Commanders getting that as a deregatory nickname is a pretty recent ocurance since they only just got renamed to the Commander, so I am not surprised somebody latched on to anti-communist rhetoric and it stuck. If I am being extremely generous, I doubt most people even think of the political connoations there. Though obviously the idea is supposed to be that “communism = bad”.
