Like 2/3rds of Americans are overweight or obese. It's probably the biggest crisis that faces our military readiness.

But Drinky Pete doesn't care about readiness, he cares about how it looks. And he certainly doesn't want to take a constructive hand in actually fixing it.

The most vile among them are at best ambivalent towards Trump. They'll say he's part of the same [Jewish/communist] cabal as the rest of the globalist NWO government and would be glad to put him to the torch as long as they get to put everyone else to the torch. He doesn't go far enough quick enough, basically.

It doesn't need to be absolute in success, it just needs to be applied arbitrarily to further abuse out-groups.

The short version is even the seemingly well-meaning ones are making or alluding to promises they just can't keep.

The key problem with cryonics is that water expands into ice crystals when frozen, and the human body is 70% water. Tissues, including critical brain tissue, are destroyed. Dessication before freezing would also cause damage. Some firms say they have the secret sauce or are close to it, but nobody has answered this question AFAIK.

And then there's the longevity. These facilities claim to be able to run decades or even centuries, without failure, but that is an extremely high bar regardless of how much money you throw at it. Power fluctuations and equipment failure take their toll. There are already stories of cadavers turning into soup in their care.

No different that any other cryonics grifter. They even tend to operate as morticians to avoid legal scrutiny.

Why steal from living people when you can bilk their estate when they're dead?

Personally I'll avoid sending any Western money to the Russian economy that I can. BSG has been able to weasel out of political controversy thus far...but it's a milsim, the devs are probably more pro-Russia than not, they're just smart enough to keep their mouths shut and keep accepting Western patronage.

You got me, officer. I'm a coward who's all talk, I would never do anything I described.

I believe in proportionality. So long as their current actions stay in damaging inanimate symbols that's where it should stay. If they were to Remove places significant to LGBT+, then I'd consider it. If they were to start straight up shooting LGBT+ people, well...

They've been riding their train of manufactured victimhood and rage for decades and found great success, they don't strictly need a reason to abuse people.

Staying your hand because your enemy might get angry and retaliate is the mindset of the battered housewife. People should stand up for themselves even if that means violence in the end.

So long as conservatives continue to exert exceptional effort to try and erase LGBT identity, people should attack Christian identity in equal measure. Tear down billboards with gospel on them. Deface publicly displayed crucifixes. Burn bibles in public.

Base World and base Rise both had quite weak endgames as well. Rise was literally unfinished at launch. It only really takes off as a complete experience once the paid expansion comes out (not title updates).
