I haven't played these games but the way I see it, if 2020 was playable offline this really should have been too. I doubt whatever graphical bump they managed between then and now was worth this kind of insane trade off

But then again idk, maybe it was

Capitalists need to be regulated (forced) to play nice, without that it's gonna be the same song, same dance for the rest of time. And it's not gonna happen anytime soon by the looks of things

Same. And I'll chalk this up to there being multiple providers (fiber and broadband) in my area so no one can really afford to be too sloppy

Yep, it seems that behind all the smiles and handshakes Zelenskyy has seen the writing on the wall

as long as states like Iran aren't getting access

This is kind of the whole argument against nuclear proliferation though. The more bombs that exist, the harder it is to keep it out of the hands of completely unpredictable groups like iran. You have allies to radical Islam all over the world, it's how you get the kind of coordinated terrorism on the scale of 9/11 and the Paris attacks. Even one single security slip up might be enough to completely fuck us all.

The barrier to entry between terrorists and nuclear weapons needs to be kept watertight, rock solid, and a mile thick, and you really can’t expect that on a global scale, it's just the law of large numbers. The risks of proliferation therefore, in my opinion at least, are completely unacceptable

Edit: also I just want to mention that the swords/guns metaphor really doesn't work because this is a problem that potentially concerns the security of literally all life on earth. There is no historical precedent beyond a few decades of REALLY precarious history. That precedent is being set every single day with every policy and every minute to minute decision. The danger to humanity is very real

Thanks for the (second!) completely unprovoked swipe in this thread but it's a minor inconvenience and I like my instance just fine

Mike though? How is there any universe where this wasn't scripted

Ohhh wait does it depend on the instance your account is hosted on?? And not the instance you're on?

You think Putins imperial Tsarist regime is gonna save you from capitalism? Russian imperialism and western imperialism are two turds from the same ass moron. All these people know how to do is steal land and inflict suffering
