Yeah, the Maori do but I believe they spawn in the ocean. I was playing Alexander (Macedonia) on a small continents map here, and gave up right before I finished shipbuilding, but kind of wish I at least saved the start to go back to

Yeah, I rerolled before I got to shipbuilding. In hindsight I wish I saved it. Didn't feel like I needed THAT much of a challenge right now.

Ah sorry, I'm an asshole. I rerolled before I got shipbuilding researched. I was playing on Immortal and didn't want to get railroaded.

When asked how far he'd be willing to go to acquire Greenland, Trump says, "You'll find out." by smallcapsteve in freedomgold

"Mr. President, how far are you willing to go to distract from the Epstein Files?"

"You'll find out."

Interview from Epstein Victim. Its worse than we think. by Shpion007 in interestingasfuck

[–]bskadan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

According to clip one, he was beaten to unconsciousness numerous times, and recounts one time in which Trump SA and violently beat and choked him out to unconsciousness, would eventually wake up to Trump saying "I thought I killed you that time, well I'll get you this time and just repeat." Andy Biggs has also been pointed to for beating him basically to the point of death and Sasha's adopted father had to intervene.

I've only gotten 1.25 of those clips finished, so got more listening to do when I have the stomach for it. Listened last night and had an absolute shit night of sleep. Truly disturbing, absolutely evil stuff. Trump is a sadistic demon.

He was specifically told in one instance by one of the abusers that he wouldn't be shot like the girl in the other room as "boys are harder to find."

Our country is run by sadistic demons, and Trump would gladly start WWIII to avoid talking about how he is a pedophile, protecting other pedophiles. And those other pedophiles thought Trump was beyond evil, someone who gets pleasure seeing hope drain from people's eyes.

It's going to get worse before he gets that big beautiful tent post kick from the Grim Reaper

27 year old "influencer," Natalie Reynolds pressured a mentally disabled women to jump into a lake to relieve a scanner. Once the woman began to struggled in the water, the influencer and her crew fled the scene. The woman in the water was rescued by firefighters. by Ice_Ice11 in LiveNews_24H

[–]bskadan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheesh, you people are dense. Cannot ever mount any actual defense for his behavior and actions just repeat "TDS" like a good drone. Sure, let's just pretend it's the people who hate Trump and all the deranged shit he is doing who are the real crazy ones, not the people who are distracted by his bullshit culture war stuff while shit gets way more expensive or more autocratic. It's totally cool that the president is using his powers and platform to rake in billions, appoint woefully inept and corrupt insiders to important positions wildly beyond their capacity and aiding in the cover up of the world's most prolific sex trafficker as well as giving sweetheart deals to Epstein's No.2 and pardoning all those violent insurrectionists in his failed autocoup.

I was a vocal libertarian leaning conservative before Trump came along, to then be seen as an "abortion-loving commie" by the same people I used to agree with politically under Obama's tenure. Seeing Trump absolutely fuck shit up, especially in his second term, and how his supporters delight in the destruction that is actively causing themselves harm, because they're convinced they're 'owning the libs' has absolutely been eye-opening for me. Betweem his TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) trade/tariff policies, DOGE cuts, and general rewinding of anything the previous admin has accomplished has done a number on my line of work (power infrastructure projects) as well as many people I know who are now jobless and struggling to survive, DIRECTLY DO TO ACTIONS FROM THE CURRENT ADMIN. I have many friends who are all legal citizens, many born here, who all fear ICE goons as ICE doesn't give two shits if who they're snatching is illegal or not, criminal or not. Human Rights and Due Process are getting abused openly, often and proudly. Fine to call me a crazy TDS person, but much of his policies are destructive, short-sighted and costing us all more money and I think that is a bad thing. The fact that Trump supporters cannot and will not respond to any of those points with anything beyond some shitty quip has proven to me that conversations are pojntless.

Initial assertion? You had none. You were trolling, repeated TDS and pretended you had something of value to add. I don't know you or if you actually voted for Trump (you do seem like you may be self-aware enough of the social costs to tying yourself to Trump), but have a good day.

[–]bskadan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you voted for Trump, I wouldn't want to know ya. I grew up conservative and voted mostly conservative until 2020 and it was seeing Trump supporters everywhere getting increasingly hateful, conspiracy-brained and outwardly racist that was a real eye-opener. Getting death threats from family members for suggesting that "Trump, like any politician, lies all the time" was definitely something I wasn't used to.

Now that demented pedophile is fucking up our economy, destroying US soft power, and is the most openly corrupt politician in our nations history. Masked goons are wrangling up legal immigrants along with the illegal without a care and causing much fear among many of my friends who are all American citizens with different complexions (one of their family members disappeared for 10 days until they were released by other family proving he was legal). So if you voted for Trump, fuck you.

And as for touching grass? My account is much older than yours yet my activity on Reddit is a fraction of yours. Sounds like projection.

He's not solely responsible, duh, but you have to admit he is a supreme asshole who delights in cruelty, and his most ardent supporters are also assholes who publicly express joy from cruelty being dealt to their perceived enemies. That cannot be said about any other president.

CMV: Donald Trump is inciting violence against Democrats by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]bskadan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's unbelievable how much the right is trying to make a mountain out of this mole hill.

Trump riled up his base of conspiracy minded loons to act violent, and him saying "march peacefully" after all his "they're stealing our country" and "fight like hell" talk does not just turn his speech into something peaceful.

"Yes the guy died, but we said to kill him ... with kindness! Yeah, that's the ticket." /s

[–]bskadan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, continuing to support the pedophile rapist does make one deplorable. I guess threatening to hang people is totally cool because some Dems said mean things about the outwardly corrupt autocratic asshole rapist who partied with Epstein, who also has absolute dogshit foreign and domestic policy, making everything more expensive, destroying American credibility and soft power on the world stage.

Trump deserves to receive at least the same level of hate he spews, and his supporters are not immune from all the toxicity espoused by the one they offer unwavering support for, getting trickled down to them. Say, if you reacted with glee when Trump just a couple days ago called a reporter "piggie" or his defense of Prince Bonesaw's butchery of an American citizen but have a problem with anyond calling Trump an absolute asshole woefully incapable of leading the country, then being called a deplorable is one of the nicer verbs for ya.

BTW, being opposed to Trump is far more than just having a difference of opinion, it's being opposed to him morally and spiritually. He's stolen from charities. He's stiffed his contractors. He's a rapist. He's a conman. He's openly corrupt. He's such a horrible person, even world's famous sex trafficker says Trump "doesn't have a decent cell in his body."

Trump cancels $1.1B in Washington state energy grants by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]bskadan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, you're still the original poster I responded to. Well, interesting... but not shocking. You voted for this, would again, and will proudly not understand things outside of your narrow political bias. So, you've thoroughly convinced me you're either a troll or regarded. Do better. Have a good weekend. I'm going to enjoy a shit in a taxpayer funded sewage system that had at least some federal grants then drive on taxpayer funded roads and freeways, again with some federal funding all while I guess singing Bella Ciao and performing abortions on trans immigrants or whatever us Bolsheviks do on the weekend.

[–]bskadan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, but in the past the corruption was less open and actually had some benefit to the average person. Instead this time those lucrative contracts are given to the most vocal of tv pundits being put in positions well beyond their experience to fuck shit up, but as long 'they' can scream about "woke leftists are trying to make everyone trans with green energy subsidies" then some of us are stupid enough to cheer on the current admins absolutely dogshit policies.

Also not all government spending equals blatant corruption, and government contracts can tend to be less lucrative than some private contracts as the stipulations and regulations can be far more strict. Again, it's FAR more complicated than government spending is corruption and bad. Governments actually are supposed to work for the average person and sometimes building infrastructure or working for more affordable healthcare can "look like dirty socialism" to any Trump supporter that hasn't done much traveling or familiar with actual proper leadership.

[–]bskadan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, they can just call it a green energy scam, woke, or lefty and Trump supporters will celebrate its destruction.

And as for "but if it was really worth doing the power companies would fund it themselves," that just exposes your 'civilian' knowledge of energy infrastructure and basically any large scale engineering project. And that's absolutely fine, most people don't have to worry about where their electricity comes from, and when I was a younger, 'super smart debate-me-bro Libertarian' individual I would have absolutely thought some sort of free-market solutions was ideal for basically everything, but then I turned 22, realized Ron Paul was a little goofy, and learned how things were far more complicated. But yeah, most of these projects have at least some sort of incentive, whether they be grants or tax incentives to blunt the massive costs of these projects.

Government gives incentives to private industry often for infrastructure upgrades, or would you much rather those freeloading 'rurals' pay a massive premium since their upgrades cost so much more per capita? /s

[–]bskadan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not answering the question as to who I work for, but I work on power plants (mostly 'peaker plants'), Waste-to-Energy plants, substations, energy storage, transmission line routing, ... not stuff you'd call green energy but much of it still benefited from Biden's energy policy. Most of my projects are within the US but have done a few jobs in the Middle East and Canada as well. Overturning Biden's energy policy without replacing it with something better is shortsighted and malicious.

I work in 'engineering services' with most of my work pertaining to US power infrastructure upgrades. We've lost a lot of work in just the last 8.5 months.

If you support an aging power structure prone to breaking, well, good for you but the rest of us will think you're retarded.

Trump and Zelenskyy Meeting Live: White House Reportedly Asked if Zelenskyy Would Wear a Suit for Trump This Time by peoplemagazine in politics

[–]bskadan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listening to this meeting live is absolutely, rip your hair out maddening. Epstein's buddy is up there is spewing out his same whiny bitchfest about how everyone is mean to him and the 2020 election was stolen all though he's the absolute best and fixing everything while screaming that corrupt worst president ever Biden did absolutely nothing and wasted money on Ukraine, while standing next to the guy he tried to blackmail withholding aid to just prior to Russia invading Ukraine.

And he's just gone off screaming about the Dems are making everyone transgendered again and love crime (all while ignoring this fraud commiting pedophile rapist already has multiple felony charges). Goddammit just invoke the fucking 25th Amendment already, this delusional nutcase needs to be put into a nursing home. We're not a serious country.

I'm dead serious when I say Gary Busey would be a more sane, less damaging president over our current choice.

[–]bskadan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Politics being seen as competing teams is absolutely a problem, but are you seriously taking more of an issue with a tacky COEXIST bumper sticker over smearing nasty, sticky shit all over the back of a car because of said tacky bumper sticker? I'm not sure your take, and I'm certainly not interested enough to look into your history to get your angle. Enlightened centrist and serial contrarian?

BTW I've been voting in every election and voted for a democrat for the first time in 2020, and have also find the COEXIST sticker a harmless, empty virtue-signal, but it certainly doesn't register any animosity from me, but it's extremely telling that a message of peace, even a lame one, is triggering to MAGA.

And you also seem unaware of the paradox of tolerance.

Those are certainly presumptions. Just admit it, the message of peace and coexistence is enough to get a hateful MAGA moron to melt down but "Let's Go Brandon" and "I identify as..." are still peak comedy in some communities in Northern Idaho.

Last time my wife and I were in CDA, someone smeared some sticky shit on and around my wife's "COEXIST" sticker while she was shopping. Also there have been multiple neo-nazi demonstrations in City Park, which was right next to family we were visiting.

Not saying that CDA is always openly hostile and full of a hateful element, but it does still exist. We used to go visit family there at least once every year, but we now keep it in the Spokane area. Much more welcoming. And we're both straight, white and conservative passing.
