By any civilized standard democrat politicians are far right extremists (a few token exceptions are closer to right or even center-right on some points, but they have little effect on the whole). Republicans are outright deranged lunatics, mixed with a worryingly increasing percentage of fascists.

Seems like a reasonable demand.

Every Lemmygrad account I've been exposed to seemed to be a Chinese and / or Russian bot single-mindedly trying to sell the idea that despite all evidence to the contrary China and / or Russia are somehow not oligarchic dictatorships as far as you can get from Marx's views without going full fascist.

As for Hexbear, they appear to be adolescent or younger far right lunatic trolls affected by lead poisoning and foetal alcohol syndrome acting like they believe leftists and "woke" people would act, for shits and giggles, and just to try to derail any serious conversation in the fediverse.

Therefore they're both essentially spam, and despised as such by anyone who doesn't find them funny.

And then, we could start selling meat of the "problem animals" that we have way too many of

For a moment there I was thinking you were about to advocate for cannibalism... (sadly, prions are terrifying.)

They've been sinking boats off the Iberian coast (possibly for fun, possibly for vengeance) for a few years now, so at least some seem to be trying...

Sounds more like an enlightened centrist to me, but same difference really.

If a maniac wanted to shoot someone ten times, and the victim wated not to be shot, the enlightened centrist would smugly proclaim that the maniac shooting the victim five times would be a just middle ground that'd be fair to both parties, and that the victim would be unreasonable, intolerant, and antidemocratic for not agreeing to it.

Same result, orders of magnitude more hypocrisy and idiocy, and of course you can't criticise them, since by enabling the maniacs they're just debating and trying to find a compromise, and disagreeing with them is being hostile and going against the very principles of democracy itself.

Malignant asshats, the whole lot of them, wouldn't recognize the paradox of tolerance if you violently hit them in the head with it.

Good, ban boomers too, then.

I'm not sure Townscaper can be called a game either, but it certainly is an excellent relaxing and enjoyable way to waste one's time.

That's monstrous. When I send a PDF I don't want it to be editable, if I wanted an editable format I'd use an editable format. Exporting to PDF is supposed to be a digital equivalent to printing.

He set The Hobbit (which he wrote for his kids) in the world he'd already built... not because he particularly enjoyed worldbuilding, but because a culturally complex fantasy world with a rich history and mythology was a prerequisite for the epic poetic sagas he felt needed to write in order to properly develop his fantasy languages, which is what he really liked to do, as a philologist.
