This is the first time it's occurred to me that I might want to enjoy shooters while I can. Never really been my thing but the thought of not being able to do it is kinda sad.

Ah, that's sad to hear.

I don't know what to make of the question but I did enjoy reading this synopsis.

I once encountered a grizzled mariner who assured me that women aboard a ship are still bad luck, even in current year.

Who here makes extra payments on his mortgage? Or has a paid-off house?
I make extra payments on loans, given that the interest rate makes this rational, and do not have a paid-off house.
What in the scam?
See previous response.

Internet retatrutide is currently very cheap. I'm concerned that when it's approved for human use the price will skyrocket.

I hate these things (why are they always made by people who phrase the prompts so poorly?) but here we go.
People shouldn't be treated harshly solely because of some immutable characteristics.
Well which ones are we talking about? Eye color, or compulsion to murder?
The government should be used to incentivize people towards or away from certain actions.
Are we talking about drinking soda or about bank robbery?
Religion and culture ought to influence laws of communities and governments.
What else would do it? Is there an alternative? What is 'culture'?
Sexual deviancy is perfectly fine.
...? What defines 'sexual deviancy'?
Gender-and-sexuality-nonconforming individuals should be accepted for who they are.
Who are they?
Property is odious in its principle and murderous in its effects.
Yes, and still the best arrangement. How's this being counted?
Economic class systems are divisive.
What the hell does that mean? I think my take is "Yes and that's a good thing" but idk what they meant or how it will be counted.
The concept of society and social norms should be abolished entirely.
How would that even be possible without ending all human life? What is being asked here?
Wealth disparity of class groups is due to some individuals working harder.
Oftentimes? Other times not? What?
Okay I got "Jeffersonianism" but had to nullify like half the questions, so there you go.

Sounds interesting. What is it?

Re: Blue Prince I intentionally went in without having read anything, on the strength of the praise I saw for the game, and think that was a mistake.
I have no idea what's going on and it takes a lot of time and gets old fast.
"Just note down the clues in the rooms", people say. Yeah, well, every room is stacked floor to ceiling with numerous improbable decorative items which hint at significance. Which ones are clues?
idk. Everyone else loves it. I must be the one who's wrong. But I didn't find it fun or interesting at all.
I've done a couple Planet Crafter runs but find that they stop being interesting to me right around the point that I no longer need to worry about oxygen.
Up to then it's a race against time for stability; once stability is gained it just becomes a matter of wandering back and forth over the landscape looking for the story-related stuff you didn't find/tag earlier.
Needs monsters. Devs have said no monsters ever.
Also the DNA/creature-gen system is vastly more complex and onerous than it is interesting, which IMO is a bad dynamic.
I'll complain generally that the whole "You are indebted/convicted and must work your way out of this situation for an evil corporation that has the deck stacked against you" is a tremendously-overused trope at this point. Can't we just be pioneers motivated by our own enterprise? Please?
Still, I have ~150 hours in that game so it must be doing something right.

I-
Yeah, that's how that works. Those are the assumptions involved. Society is a trap for normal people whereby they get fleeced by the smart ones. This is good or bad if you like; else it simply is.
What I'm not clear on is what you're asking.

Contingent on you having been insincere, I ask why you are insincere. Maybe you've been forthright, in which case I'd like to know that too.

I think you are joking but would endorse entirely and ask you why you don't.

Well, the upside here is that it can't possibly remain stable for more than a generation or two before the inevitable and utterly ruthless backlash commences, after which whites will never again forget their place at the head of humanity. My two cents, I guess.
Make babies and raise them to rule with an iron fist.

Republicans seem dead-set on killing their voters.
Would you, uh, care to expand upon that?
I do hear a lot of rhetoric about abolishing white people -- even 'kill all white men' -- but it's not coming from Republicans.

Correct.

it seems reasonable to me that the iceman was looking for retribution for the previous car strike, and she gave it to him.
Nothing about this is reasonable. That is an enormous and entirely-unwarranted leap in logic. Possible isn't the same as probable.

Look at the usual preferences of anti-feminist toxic dudebros for a start: ... their own girlfriends to be modest and demure in public but otherwise be their own personal sluts in private
Keeping sexuality within the relationship, and enjoying it to the fullest in private, is anti-feminist toxic dudebroism now?
The world continues to get crazier and crazier every time I look out the window of my church.

I'm in camp "Irish and Italians aren't White" but yeah there's a lot of conflation happening here.

There's even video of him performing fellatio, isn't there?
Can't believe how many times I've seen this question litigated given that I don't care about the guy at all and don't seek out information related to him.
I don't know why 2020's America, a society which produces mass material prosperity on a grander scale than any other in human history, is full of people (on both sides of the aisle) claiming that they are suffering to the point where raising the black flag and starting slitting throats would be an understandable response. But empirically 2020's America is not full of people who are actually suffering to the point where raising the black flag and starting slitting throats is a likely response.
COULD IT BE that there are other forms of suffering than lack of excessive material prosperity?
Have you tried finding a spouse, raising a family, or buying a home lately? Have you tried finding a good career? Particularly if you're young enough to be competing with AI for entry-level positions? Have you tried finding a healthy community to be a part of?
By the grace of God I have succeeded in all these categories. But I can see the writing on the wall and now I'm terrified about the world in which my children are growing up.
Lots of people seem to be settling into pod life. Thin gray walls, netflix, delivery slop, no (or exclusively poor) romantic relationships, sterile sex only, if any. They do not know their neighbors. The prospect of ever having property or children -- especially multiple children -- recedes farther into the realm of fantasy every day. There is no unifying identity; no shared values. Just alienated fragments of what used to be a collective human organism, dying in infantilized isolation. More and more turn to substance abuse just to feel okay for a little while. Others turn to increasingly-radical political movements which blame the pain and horror of modernity on the other side. This is about to get much, much worse.
Man does not live by bread alone.

Furthermore, I think some immigrants get here with visas to take jobs (undercutting domestic labor), then import a bunch of family members who immediately start extracting resources from every government program they can.
But at that point the fig leaf has wilted and you might as well just admit that you don't have principled economic reasons to oppose immigration.)
@FtttG Bad form. >:|
Second. I even have a nice Folio Society copy but haven't cracked it yet.
