For some reason all of the quests with decent rewards are for the evil faction? The developers don’t seem to have considered that many players want to create a character with a heroic arc.
I wish I knew. I do a lot of urban tree planting and this is surprisingly common. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the chance to ask people why they do it. I normally assume that one or two vandalized trees were not driven by ideology but maybe in this case it was, since they did so many.
I was looking at some trees I planted about 5 years ago yesterday and someone had completely stripped the bark off. Very sad. My typical assumption is it’s just an expression of impotent rage but who knows.
No. I think it’s a pretty shitty thing to do unless you had a reason to feel unsafe, which I personally never have.
I think democrats would, for the most part. Perhaps less enthusiastically, but since they hate Trump, I think it would not be a major issue.
The question is, how would low-information unaffiliated voters respond to having a socialist in the ballot? This is a difficult question to answer. Traditionally socialism is a bad word in US politics, albeit less so with younger voters.
Personally I don’t really buy the “Bernie would have won” stuff but there’s really only one way to find out.
It’s such a broad body of work that it’s hard to list all of the issues I have it it. I guess the biggest issue is just that Marx’s writings were an early attempt at describing a more rigorous case for social reform before more scientific theories of social change and economics were developed. So while his ideas were groundbreaking and innovative at the time they were written, not all of them have held up or are relevant to today’s world. And yet I don’t see many Marxists who have been willing to seriously dissect his ideas and take the useful ideas while discarding the bad or irrelevant ones. And in fact, those few who are willing to take a more critical stance are often ostracized and deemed “revisionists” which strikes me as a frankly absurd accusation. If you are not revising your theories then they are no longer theories but mere dogma, and that seems to be the state of mainstream Marxism today.
Thanks for posting this here. I don’t understand how this article was a violation of the rules on the LW politics community. Perhaps the mod simply did not like the content.
Don’t obey in advance. With the exception of the Supreme Court, most other systems and protections remain in place and may continue to exist regardless of Trump’s intentions, especially if they are fought for and protected.
But direct action of the type the author is discussing has been very successful across many contexts, including brutal dictatorships with no human rights guarantees. So the whole thrust of your comment fails to grapple with the real history of popular struggle.
Is the dilemma that I can’t take the tram to my foraging grounds? If so I agree that is a problem.
Haha yeah he’s not too memorable otherwise but it’s a funny mistake since Romney and Trump hate each other.
Romney? Did you mean Perry?
As promised, a more difficult nut for today!
I will give this one 3/5 difficulty.

Hint:

This nut is named for its most common country of origin.
Answer and some fun facts about this nut:
🌰spoiler
It's a Brazil nut! Brazil nuts are fairly unique among nuts one might commonly see in a grocery store. They are not a domesticated crop like most other nuts, and are mainly wild-harvested from the Amazon rainforest. Some have advocated this as a model of a sustainable economic activity in the rainforest, but other studies have noted that in areas where nuts are heavily harvested, the regeneration of the species is poor.
Tune in tomorrow for more nutty knowledge!
Despite their drab color, I find these quite beautiful!
I expect this one will be fairly easy, so the next one I post will be a bit harder.
Need a hint?

It's in season right now, and is often cooked in a seasonal dish...

It’s not even foreigners necessarily. There are millions of people who were born in the US that speak a non-English language as their primary language. In fact many of these communities have been here longer than English speakers have been, including native people and the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of territory the US annexed from Mexico, which includes the entire southwest region.
