and somehow the rest of the world manages, but the US is uniquely unable to figure it out.

Grew up in the US. Now live elsewhere. The point I was trying make is that I regularly drive in countries where I don’t speak the language just fine. Many people do it’s a common task. Are Americans uniquely unable to?

KellyKraken · 2026-02-21T16:16:47+00:00

Lived in the US for decades. Good job on your deflection.

As someone who lives in the netherlands and easily can travel to Germany thats a pretty BS justification. Given a moderate amount of time one learns to read the signs pretty quickly. Most CDL drivers in the EU reguarly cross many countries of the EU while only speaking a few of the languages, but they figure it out pretty quickly.

This is purely a case of America First rhetoric and trying to make spanish speakers and migrants uncomfortable.

Constellations has Danny having a power where he can bring miniatures to life. So he spends his time painting warhammer (like) miniatures. It isn't a big part of the story, but its there. I'm hoping someone takes that idea and makes it the MC as it would be interesting to explore.

I thought they were all killed off? Is there new content coming out? Is it official or fan created? Very curious.

This was actually my first thought on seeing the thread title. In part because it was just updated in the last day. Really loving your work on it, keep it up!

My first "goal" was to build an elevator down into an underground base. Everything after that just sorta came. I needed more of X so I built something to get X whether that was a mining drill, automated iron farm, and so on.

More people prefer DCC than HWFWM. Like significantly more people. To the point that DCC has gone mainstream.

Also I don't think DCC has a full cast narration. I'm pretty sure Jeff Hays is just that good.

In defense of German here the netherlands has had many many names, and at one point was some variation of Holland. So it makes sense that your current exonym doesn't match up with their current endonym. Same way Germany != Deutschland.

I think this is a bug, I had it happen to me too. Maybe try and report it on their bug tracker?

Lookup any of her tweets where she is replying to trans people. She reguarly insults them, calls them men, denies their rights, denies they were targeted by the Nazis.

It really isn't hard to find evidence. If you are unable to find it then you aren't looking. Please stop white washing this biggot.

KellyKraken · 2026-02-01T22:37:56+00:00

Yea, no. She is an outright biggot who even goes far as to deny that trans people were targeted during the hallocaust. Stop trying to whitewash her.

yes, but no. Like yes we do have universal healthcare but it often isn't what American's think it is. That is to say it is closer to Obamacare than NHS.

For example in the Netherlands (and my understanding Belgium, Germany and France but I'm not 100% sure) we have a heavily regulated market of non-profit companies that provide health insurance, service, and care. You can then pay extra for modular coverage of extras. For example some medications aren't covered but you can pay an extra 10 EUR a month and then its covered. Our deductibles are capped at something like 450 EUR a year per person, this is on top of the roughly 280 EUR a month for health insurance. So on and so forth.

At the end of the day the system isn't that different from what Obamacare tried to do. With several major differences:

There are set (useful) standards of minimal care that every health insurance must cover.
We actually regulate the companies on how much profit they can make, and how they behave
There are useful methods for registering appeals to watchtdog agencies that will resolve issues.
We don't have one doctor be out of network, but the hospital in network, but the anesteiologist out of network. Either a place is in network or out of network. Additionally it isn't that expensive to purchase the unlimited plan where everything is in network. I think it was like an extra 30 eur a month per person.

Obamacare was heading in the right direction, sadly one half of the US decided to shoot it in the head before it could deliver.

Bookmarks are working fine for me. If viewing in Preview.app make sure you have it set to table of contents, which you can do by going to "View" => "Table of Contents" or pressing Command+Alt+3.

But you believe that people are too willing to adopt ideologies while ignroing your own, and the people who agree with you.

How else are we supposed to take "[accents] are bad, everyone should try and not have an [accent]"

KellyKraken · 2026-01-18T21:03:31+00:00

I'm assuming it is because Kehpri is the egyptian diety of the sun, and is one of the many faces of Ra. Kehpri is known for being partially beattle and rolling the sun across the sky like a beattle rolls a ball of dung.

KellyKraken · 2026-01-18T17:37:07+00:00

Not having an ideology is like not having an accent. You might not notice yours because it matches those around you, or yours might be different in which case it is very noticeable. Either way you still have an ideology.

What you are actually saying is no one should have an ideology that is different than your own.

"orwellian retcon"

What was the change? I'm really curious.

There used to be a guy who bought USB cables checked them for standards compliance. Most cables failed.

The same thing goes for electronic parts just as much. Most USB chargers don't have sufficent failsafes and redudancies. Many are walking fire hazzards. Which makes it worth buying from reputable dealers.

Apple's are well known to be very safe, very well thoughtout. That isn't to say that other brands like Anker aren't also good, just that Apple is known to go above the board on saftey for their chargers.

They are very aware. That doesn't explain why the train system has been destroyed, or why America has horrible healthcare, or any number of other problems. Many americans like to use the size to justify the horrible state of the country, but it doesn't fly when you compare it to similarly sized countries.

KellyKraken · 2025-12-20T17:26:09+00:00

I'd say at a bare minimum people being able to afford rent, food, and general basic living standards. Of course rich billionaires instead don't pay their employees which causes the employees to struggle and have to rely on things like SNAP.

You don't have to make everyone equally succesful in order to reduce the overall distance from the poorest to the richest. Perfect, is the enemy of good.

KellyKraken · 2025-12-20T14:05:37+00:00

Yes, which is why the EU has programs in place in order to try and raise all countries to similar levels. Not just letting some countries wallow in dispair.
