You used an conservative American political dog whistle when you mentioned identity politics and you’re part of western hegemony as an Australian, so I would be a bad leftist if I let it be.
It’s a dog whistle here because everyone has an identity that comes attached w perpetually unaddressed needs and the ruling class of people only considers their own identity to be the national discourse; establishing that other identities are little more than causes for division.
that and religion are no no’s.
i googled it and found lots of treatises on the subject
american politeness requires that we not talk about politics in public and that encourages americans to ignore everything until it impacts them; broaching the subject will label you a malcontent.
also except stopping military & world political support for a genocide
moving from san francisco to austin has taught me that texan “left” is further right than in most places; but yes, they’re defeatists to the extreme and it makes sense given the state’s political recent history.
they’re true and you’ll only see them the most in houston and san antonio and a little bit in a dallas and austin.
source: me, a poor brown man who used to live in texas and tried to vote there for 5 years.
the excuses they come up to de-register you are with are laughable to hear; but texan officials will say it with a straight face and texan “liberals” will justify it by saying “it’s the law”.
barefoot & shirtless == unproductive/no-expectations-from-me and i wouldn’t have it any other way. lol
i can only speak for the western world since that’s what i learned about as an american and there’s a recorded history of punching left significantly harder than punching right.
i wish all city/economy building games had a stronger destruction-by-social/political-means game play elements beyond city/economy building like tropico has in balancing your islands’ political factions from couping or voting you out of office; both internal and world superpower backed rebellions; industry induced pollution & resource depletion; social engineering espionage; pirate attacks; economy & military crippling crime or corruption in your police, military and government officials; protests escalating into rebellions or economic disruptions; and military invasions & economic sanctions from those superpower countries if you don’t comply sufficiently with their interests.
i know that city skylines includes natural disasters like tropico does and that helps with the appeal to me; but i never tried the other 2. do they have anything like those things i described?
think using abortion rights are probably the only way forward for biden to win.
tropico is a little bit better for this.
the later versions still require roads; but it’s possible to create a barest minimum of roads to service freight & industry only and then build lots of train stations and bus stops
moderates need to stop only punching left.
hitler got into power because their moderates refused to appeal to their leftist voters and supported facism and so hitler’s side won the election and, later, the country after they disenfranchised the moderates and executed the leftists; right now it’s looking like americans are going to follow suit.
i’m usually in nothing more than shorts 98% of the time, so i had the same thought. lol
i’m aware that people do judge you based on your appearance; but unless you’re the fit model shown in the image, it’s not going to help much (also difficult to find the right size/fit) and nearly 50% of the american populate is obese and 75% are fat.
this is how biden got credit for “handling” covid; ignoring the cases
i think you’re purposely missing the point; there is no such thing as 24 hour car registration and you cannot register a car unless it’s garaged in the jurisdiction to intend to keep driving it in.
any car owner knows this so you’re clearly no longer arguing in good faith and i don’t see a reason to continue.
compilation would take several hours but it was a learning experience.
the first time i put gentoo on a g3 imac back in 2004; it took 3 days to compile everything and the computer got so hot that it warmed up the entire room like a space heater. lol
that was the last time i contributed; i created a LCARS port and now there are hundreds of them everywhere.
read it, it’s right there in the law: the car has to be qualified by american import restrictions and standards; which these cars do not have and will never get.
the only way to legally drive is it is to return it to a garage out of state and all of the states have similar laws.
the kooky vibe of each episode is the one thing i do remember decades later. lol
Vergas son mejores; te lo doy si te comportas. Lol
