    I agree with this, and by all means healthcare should be provided if that is what you need. However, there’s a bunch to be said that if you’ve developed a bunch of coping mechanisms that fix or address certain aspects, that getting medicated could completely fuck up your flow of what you used to do and now need to learn new ways to deal with things with medication. But knowledge is power, but I don’t always agree that if you’ve lived 50 years unmedicated, and then getting medicated is always the answer but it absolutely should be available.


  • Okay I just finished playing over an hour, I have to fully disagree with it being closer to BF. If you like Squad you’ll like this, but there’s no dedicated kit like BF or Squad. You have inventory management like Arma, and you have to pack your magazines. You can specialize however you want to your play style. The maps are absolutely massive. The vehicles have a lot of weight to them and overall the pacing is close to Squad and Arma. The first match from start to finish took about an hour and 40 minutes.

    Obviously a lot of these games have some of that BF spirit but this game is much slower in pacing.

    Edit: also I’m playing this on Arch, and the game ran flawlessly, with proton 11.










  • But isn’t this specifically by design as well? We don’t actually want to invest in Africa, we want to keep it destabilized so we can continue to exploit those countries and its people for resources. It’s a form of imperialism. We can overload them with aid, they in turn have to be dependent on that aid. This then de-incentivizes those countries from putting any resources into the problems.

    So yes, John Green is right. I haven’t read the book, but I don’t know if he talks about how the geo politics, all of this is by design. The Global Perspective: Reflections on Imperialism and Resistance by Torkil Lauesen talks to how the global south gets exploited for profits.
