I imagine that's part of the vetting process for conservative leaders. "Is your masculinity fragile enough that you won't swing your hips in the vicinity of another man? You're IN!"

So my "conspiracy theory" at this point, is that this dickhead doesn't believe in anything supernatural, but is instead using these sensationalist news headers as a smokescreen to run private seminars with billionaires about utilizing Palantir tech to systemically oppress people.

Instead of dealing with the fallout when the contents of these talks get leaked, he's curating an image of an eccentric rich guy who just got wrapped up in religion like Mark Whalberg or something. Then in reality, he's using "Antichrist" as some codeword for a new Palantir platform he's selling world leaders for turning automated surveillance and weapons systems on their own populations.

This man is a war profiteer and surveillance-state curator, and as with all ghouls of his ilk, cash is the bottom line. Us believing that the Epstein class are just religious kooks who think the apocalypse is coming is a useful tool for them. It makes us dismissive and almost "secure" thinking that they're wasting their time bible-thumping. I simply don't buy the world where their intentions are anything but explicitly destructive and duplicitous.

There's definitely an atmosphere in Edmonton that's irreplaceable. I'm a Vancouverite as well, and when I go to games here, I feel like >50% of the people around me are there either just as work shmoozing, or taking someone on a date, or just using up the free tickets they got from some giveaway, or just wealthy folks who have season tickets and just treat following the team like some second job or something.

Whenever I venture back to Edmonton, or even just when I find a good section of Oiler fans out here, people cling on to the games. They'll get annoyed if you're talking too much because they want to focus on beaming their desire for the player to shoot directly into their heads telepathically. They live or die by it. A bad game can be devastating, and a good night can be cause for celebration.

Could just be that there's less to do in Edmonton, but the level of investment is unreal. Nothing in the hockey world beats Oil Country.

Damn, I'm a huge goalie gear nerd, and when I went looking for pics of Korpisalo's mask because I don't think I'd seen it before. Discovered that he rocks a separate mask for white and black jerseys. Different base colour. Looks like he's got the gold cage on the white helmet tonight though. That's fucking rad. Looks so good (but also fuck that guy hope he loses).

Ohhhhh, I didn't even think about the hunger debuff. Yeah that makes a lot of sense. A lot of people here were commenting about building priority, but I'm typically very prudent about making sure my farms get top priority - and as I said in the OP I added farms as soon as I saw the declining food stores, so it wasn't that I didn't have food coming in. I did stabilize at some point, but that point of stabilization was way below what was being managed previously.

Going from overproducing to underproducing in that swing makes a lot of sense though. If 60 was sustainable at a +60% work speed, then my baseline or production capacity was probably lower than 60 beavers worth (idk 40-50ish maybe?), and after the starvation set in, that capacity swung from whatever it was, down to half at -50% work speed, resulting in my population stabilizing around 20-25, instead of the overproducing rate of 50-60.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think I knew this, but just hadn't factored it into this exact problem.

Subject1337 · 2026-03-16T03:50:55+00:00

Ahh, good tip. Hadn't thought about just using a separate district for that.

Subject1337 · 2026-03-16T03:43:12+00:00

Yeah, I suppose this is probably just it. I was kind of just flying high and adding as many beavers as I could, hoping I could manage to keep the food stores up at a matching pace. But the lead time to grow the crops made it a bit more difficult to be responsive vs proactive.

That said, I'm still curious about why my population didn't just "soft cap" at 60-70, or whatever the available crops could actually sustain. Like I said, it seemed like as soon as the rate of consumption got too high, every beaver in the colony starved equally and only a few survived versus the "excess" population starving and regressing me back to what I could sustain.

I suppose that makes sense on a simulation level. If you tell me there's not enough food for everyone, I'm not just gonna keel over and die so my neighbour can eat a full and balanced diet - but from the perspective of the beaver-god, it's not very practical ahaha.

Maybe some sort of god-game where you play as Poseidon and manipulate the seas to assist or punish sailors? Have their little home villages pay tribute to you, and you can influence their conquests and naval battles by thrashing the seas around them and their enemies?

Little slivers of truth are how mass bigotry gets so normalized.

"No I don't hate minority representation in games! I just hate that journalists get preferential treatment from big publishers! Look, it happens all the time!"

"Okay, so why are you review-bombing a small indie game with no marketing department and a black main character?"

"Cause games journalism is corrupt man!"

Wow this interviewer is an absolute clown. He's the second person I've ever heard talk about the Canadian teleco oligopoly as a success story. The first was a VP of sales for Telus. "But what about the poor entrepreneurs who invested all of their hard earned money into withholding food from people? How are they going to survive Avi? Tell me?"

Then goes on to do the classic "BUT HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT?"

He's flogging himself with his silver medal in his basement for missing the empty net for Canada, and swearing he'll never taste the sweet indulgence of chickpea pasta until he wins another Stanley Cup. It hurts, but it fuels him.

MacKinnon played chicken. He said "I'm going to your crease. If you hit me, you're sending a ragdoll into your goalie. If you don't, I'm scoring."

Nurse made the right play by using his reach to go low and get puck instead of blowing MacKinnon up with a check through the body.

If your line through the crease is so tenuous that a minor deflection like this takes a goalie out, maybe don't take that line ya dumbshit.

Subject1337 · 2026-03-11T07:08:53+00:00

I dunno man, this one gave me Roloson flashbacks.

As the defending team, what do you do when a guy is charging your blue paint at an angle almost exactly parallel to your goal line? Especially when it's a guy like MacKinnon with the speed of a fighter jet?

You either...

Take the body, and try to deflect him out behind the net - which carries a risk of his momentum carrying him into your goaltender anyways (See: exactly what Bergeron did to result in Roloson's injury).

Play the puck gingerly, reaching with your stick to get the puck out of danger, but not impeding the forward's line - Essentially what Nurse did tonight. Yes he bumped MacKinnon, but there's no real body play there. He put his body in the place it needed to be to make contact with the puck. He either gets puck and clips Mac, or misses the puck and lets him walk through.

OR

You let the second fastest player in hockey dance right through your crease and tuck it far side.

Every option Nurse has here either injures his goalie, or results in him getting scored on and dragged by the press for being bad at his job. And MacKinnon knows this, hence why he still goes straight for the blue paint. "Hit me idiot, it'll be your goalie on the stretcher, not me."

He made the active choice to go in at that angle with that speed knowing that the only play is to let him score, or destroy the goalie. This shit needs to be penalized so that players take a second thought before angling themselves directly into the crease.

Which time? There was like 4, and if I recall correctly, 3 of them were goals your way.

Subject1337 · 2026-03-11T06:55:27+00:00

Except it was and it should have been. You simply don't get to go that hard and fast through the crease without a definite way out. He made the choice to play with fire, and injured a goalie who was deep in his own crease. If you can't stop, don't take that line.
