I agree he’s too old, and I wish by now he would have mentored someone to stand behind to replace him.
It’s not like we aren’t already irreparably fucked, but losing having any rational voice in the Senate will feel like another blow to our corporate owned zombie of a nation.
That said, not like our single digit collection of leftist Congress people are able to do anything but spin wheels. The Neoliberals have more respect for their old guard Republican opposition than for people like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez.

“Cancel D-Day or ve vill gas all ze Jews!”
Kind of an empty threat considering that’s what you were actively doing anyway…
Because we the sucker peasants of the west have largely been propagandized by the owner class from birth into embodying this meme:
NEOliberals absolutely would. I’m not accusing the minority within the majority members like Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez of such things.

Both parties literally put blinders on for places like Saudi Arabia because they’re good customers for our military industrial complex.
Externality: Noun - Capitalist term for “I already got your fucking money, so my mess is your problem you fucking sucker peasants 🖕🤑💰”
"What an absolute disgrace! We must not allow this travesty to continue!
The Union of Concerned Scientists must be punished, in order to protect our beloved economy and the quarterly earnings of private shareholder portfolio staples like Tyson foods/TSN!"
-Neoliberals to fascists, probably
But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders!
Thats why I choose to be a pessimist. It eliminates disappointment.
Expect the worst from humans and you’ll usually end up being factually correct, you’ll never be disappointed, and occasionally, if the moon and the stars align, you just might be pleasantly surprised about something at some point in your life, just don’t count on it.
Optimism looks fucking exhausting when dealing with our gem of a species. Being let down most of the time and still putting on a smile for the next disappointment you won’t expect 5 minutes later. Looks like masochism minus the sexual pleasure. Good luck with that optimists!
Human self-importance.
We think we’re magic, despite the fact we aren’t built for high g dogfights at all.
Kind of the same reason us being space colonizers is a pipe dream at this stage in our civilization. We can get a dozen highly trained peak human specimens to grow potatoes on Mars as a symbol, and I’m all for that, but not regular people. One mistake everybody dead, one cabin fever victim in the right position everybody dead. We literally can’t even care for the almost infinitely forgiving habitat we evolved out of that’s perfectly suited to our biology, and all that would require is stop actively, recklessly fucking it up.

The base game is prettier and more stable in my few playthrough hours with the update.
I miss mods, but this was a significant improvement to the base game imho, especially base visuals, and mods will come.
Honestly the last time I launched the game in an unmodded, un-community patched state, a couple years ago to be fair, it crashed every half hour or so for me from runtime errors, so this feels like a more stable bedrock on which to build.
Just one Bethesda fan’s perspective.

Capitalists don’t care about making quality products/services.
They care about squeezing more profit out of you as time goes on.
Probably, in the same way Steamboat Mickey is.
Just part of the whole valuing property, in this case intellectual, over actual labor and people that our species loves so fucking much.
Imagine if IP from drugs to technology to fiction had a 5-10 year max window before other people could work with and expand on it. It would be a better world for most.
Oh you only get to make exclusive income on that thing you came up with for SEVERAL YEARS OF YOUR LIFE before you need to contribute in other ways to keep making money, boo fucking hoo. Where’s the sympathy for people working 2 jobs, burning their life up to meet basic needs, who don’t get several years of passive income on an idea that popped into their head 4 years ago.
