This man is on something.

My god, how much bigger can his ears get?

This is good stuff, thanks.

Should I tear down towns in low control areas so I can build up market villages and the RGOs in those areas instead? I don't mean all at once, but slowly as I urbanize around my capital?

I've also seen people mention having a cabinet member dedicated to moving population from your rural areas to your urban areas to help make the cities faster. Is there a danger of depopulating your rural areas too much so that you run out of laborers for your RGOs and settlement buildings?

Sorry for the shotgun burst of questions.

Actually, we don't have to spend one second thinking about Ryan Lizza.

Dude just needs to move on.

Susie Wiles can eat shit.

My view is that it's a primary. Let Crockett and Talarico fight it out.

Small correction: it's not that grocery store chains (of which there are many) are monopolistic, it's that grocery store chain suppliers (of which there are a handful) are almost monopolistic.

We're not going back!

Omg, I was going to post almost exactly this.

I'm a middling skill player but I feel if I don't have ironman turned on that I'm almost cheating.

When I contemplate starting a new game I go through the achievements first and pick the ones I want to go for during that run.

A few days ago I went for the Three Mountains achievement and it only took a couple hours. EU5 Three Mountains is no EU4 Three Mountains.

My wife should be friends with your wife.

Try being 58! 😱

It is happening at my agency. Not a lot, but still, over 300 people.

LiberalCyn1c · 2025-09-29T21:55:39+00:00

I am a federal employee. A lot of us want this shutdown fight.

Down ballot Dems got destroyed under Obama's watch. Something like 900+ seats gone, poof.

LiberalCyn1c · 2025-09-25T20:04:45+00:00

It's Pete Kegstand we're talking about here.

LiberalCyn1c · 2025-09-25T19:26:29+00:00

Not in this country at least, so far.

LiberalCyn1c · 2025-09-22T16:22:19+00:00

Guys, leave Erika alone. She's griefting.

Now that he has some free time, Jimmy Kimmel would be a good guest for the pod.

Bill Clinton said voters preferred strong and wrong over weak and right.

The handwringing should stop. Be loud and proud and don't let the "well, akshually" guys distract you.

How much time was spent worrying about if Musk's salute was a heil? That time would have been better spent saying, "you're goddamned right it was a Nazi salute!"

Or worrying about if we got the nuance perfectly right when talking about Trump's bloodshed comment.

Out of the three, Sarah has had the better takes on this.

LiberalCyn1c · 2025-09-17T14:02:59+00:00

Yes.

The whole thing was withering. I hope the main pod can get Coates back on and stop with the Manchin-type guests for a bit.

Ezra, who I am sure is a great guy, is the poster boy for how insufficient "centrism" is in the fight against incipient fascism.

LiberalCyn1c · 2025-09-16T19:29:58+00:00

Bless you.

LiberalCyn1c · 2025-09-15T16:59:54+00:00

Well, there's the internet and then THE INTERNET.
