Losing the game was a clear concept with the joke of losing the moment you were reminded you were playing. It didn’t have huge depth but it was clever.

If this thing is truly just a phrase that means absolutely nothing and has no meaning or message or purpose, sure that’s cool, but it’s no the game.

Damn, they’ve got convicted murderers running for office over there, AND getting votes? Wild.

I would sell so many organs

Do people not still do this? People must still have towers, and they must have on buttons, right?

I’ve not built a tower in a good few years now so maybe I’m out of touch and they’re all voice activated now or use DNA scanners from Gattaca idk xD

If the fascists do attack Europe, it will be with overwhelming force across the ocean to destroy us, rather than invasion. I don’t really see a way we win that.

Sure, we could fight back with our own nukes, but they number in the hundreds, and the USA is too large for that few to truly end the threat of renewed attacks :-(

If anything, it’s gotten worse since this place gentrified.

Used to be, kids weren’t allowed out after dark, this was a proper dangerous estate, we had murderers and even one or two people with actual guns!

These days it’s all weirdly big cars trying to copy the huge American ones, custom reg plates and live laugh love signs. They can even afford a second car this lot, AND fancy security cameras!

Gone are the days we used to get our cameras smashed so people could nick our motor.

What’s the world coming to?

That’s what they all say, socialist scum. You’ll hang for what you think!

Bake him away, toys.

Did the USA invade the UK last night and I didn’t notice?

Now, to be fair I got an early night, it was Halloween and the nutters were out in force so I popped the ol’ sleeping plugs in and nodded off, but I think I’d notice when I got up for brekkie and the yanks were marching down the road xD

She’s a keeper 😍♥️

Main Steam turn on

That’s depressing, but at least there were people like yourself who understood the backwards injustice of it all.

Some people and places have to be kicked and dragged into the modern day, alas.

I remember us giving Hong Kong to China, and Princess Diana’s horrible death.

As for the picture, I don’t know what county it’s from but it doesn’t look like the British Broadcasting Corporation which would have been the dominant broadcaster of that era, so I wouldn’t know.

Everyone? How else are you going to change gear?

I think a more interesting question would be:

How many people learned to drive in a car with a manual Choke?

I played Stardew Valley and suddenly had the overwhelming urge to kill local shopkeepers.

CoInCiDeNcE?!!?!!!??!(:'&((!:;((6_£";!(&6+:

In a perfect world where nobody doing the hiring was ever even a little subconsciously racist, that would be perfectly reasonable, yeah.

Though that said we end up with a lot of nuance in the real world. Let’s say there’s a traditionally marginalised, opposed racial group. Let’s say times have changed somewhat and people suddenly accept them.

Well, the generational and cultural weight is still going to have a lasting effect even if times have changed, and it may be more difficult for people from that group to afford a good education, good job, good home, etc.

The point being that even if we all stopped being racist today and hired purely based on how good an employee someone will be, we’re likely still unknowingly skewing our decisions based on past social racial issues.

I’m probably not putting it very well but hopefully you get the idea! It’s probably pretty common knowledge anyway I guess haha, seems pretty obvious to me and I don’t even think about this stuff much :-)

Anyway, point is, we do still need to work as a society on ensuring diversity and fairness even when we’re not racist at all - I think the saying might be “Equity over Equality”, or such?

Obviously the USA Government are fascists, so they’re more interested in wiping out groups they don’t like, but they’re just another in a long line of evil governments that will eventually fall, no point thinking too deeply about why they’re being evil. They’ll eventually die off as all fascist regimes do. Hopefully we won’t have to fight a World War against them this time.

How is it legal to basically say “We’ll give you some money if you promise to keep the blacks out of your organisation”

Sounds like something 9 year old me wouldn’t have watched!

Now if we’re talkin Star Trek on BBC2 at 6pm after school with my dindins, oh baby!

A match made in heaven!

Campfire and rain at the same time, baby! Aw yisss

Why wouldn’t we capture him and milk him for his eternal energy forever? We will power grand Gigastructures that dwarf the very stars themselves fueled by his essence! WE WILL TOUCH GOD HIMSELF!
