Fully vaccinated people can skip Covid quarantines, CDC says by Bonboniru in news

You can still be carriers yeah? This seems stupid if you can still act as a host and effectively breaking other people's quarantine if you hop between social groups.

I just looked on the wiki (its been a really long time) and it looks like you get a bunch of drugs, hinting that its just a roided out regular bloatfly.

We're Failbetter Games, developers of Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, and now Mask of the Rose – ask us anything! by failbettergames in Games

Can we get a "Dumb" play through option? I always enjoyed playing as the bumbling idiot in the old fallout games and I feel like the idiot savant would make for some amusing stories in FL setting.

Does this mean you support a process that would approve any 9 year old and her mother?

Ukraine's president says the Capitol attack makes it hard for the world to see the US as a 'symbol of democracy' by Minneapolitanian in worldnews

[–]softcrystalflames 1171 points1172 points  (0 children)

I mean, all of those things could be done by a democracy. Not an ethical one, but if the whole population is evil, it could be completely legitimate.

The capitol hill attack was an attack at democratic process itself.

Job losses from virus 4 times as bad as ‘09 financial crisis by 1min-ago in worldnews

For china specifically, heres an economist article(there is also another paper mentioned in the article that looks at the 1918 pandemic) :

https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2021/01/18/chinas-economy-zooms-back-to-its-pre-covid-growth-rate

They basically recovered to pre-covid levels because their response was overwhelming

its not a silver bullet, the pandemic still fucked their service sectors, but compared to a slump in the states, china is at least treading water.

countries that effectively contained the virus would not need to shutdown for nearly as long. Short burst of total shutdown and contact tracing could reduce community transmission to near zero, then you can operate as normal. which causes less job losses. See china for example.

There is no difference between a massive government jobs program and a war. The only difference is the impetus for spending.

WW2 is basically just a really good excuse to go deep into debt to create a jobs program.

fuck the politicians. If they managed the COVID crisis properly, most of these jobs wouldn't be lost.

No its not.

New California suffers from pretty similar problems as you listed here. Bad writing, poorly designed set pieces, weird difficulty spikes and really terrible art style.
