I believe wholeheartedly that we'll have all our shit straightened out in about 3 generations or so, or at least we will have new problems different than our current ones. Assuming we survive the climate catastrophe that is.

But the next 100-200 years are about to be real fucking bad for a lot of people.

Which you clearly know, because you're a 17 year old girl, right? If not, please do explain in detail how you know so much about the sexual habits of teenage girls. Go on, we're listening.

Possibly all of the above. If I were in her shoes I'd have probably taken the deal as well. Guaranteed all-expenses scholarship in your chosen field, followed afterward by a train of effectively infinite money coupled with political power? And in return she just has to give this old man the occasional shag? It's honestly not a bad deal.

Make no mistake though, she is a victim here. Even if she may have profited off it the fact remains that she was groomed by a middle aged man while in high school and was extremely likely coerced into this relationship, either by offers or by threats or most likely some combination of both. A Faustian deal was struck here, where the opportunity for a regular loving family was given up in exchange for power, but it's not clear to me how much choice was given to her in this deal.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and all that.

I had a look at VaatiVidya's video on this (many spoilers, you are warned) and while this all looks incredibly awesome, all I can think about seeing some of the new weapons are how these things are going to be an absolute menace in PvP. Specifically the >!beast claws.!<

Good thing I'm already trash at PvP and am used to losing, because it looks like we're getting like 8 new variations on what made Rivers of Blood a meta pick. I'm not really that upset about it, PvP isn't my main draw to elden ring and I am going to have a ton of fun with these new weapons in single player, so I consider it a net positive, but even so, yeesh.

Semi-related, are there Leftwingers that are righties unwilling to even say the name of?

Arguably Joe Biden, they've been calling him Brandon for years. But they make up stupid little nicknames for everyone.

This is the sort of use case that VR can be a great fit for if someone put the money into creating it. Roblox isn't the medium for this.

"Could threaten access" what a shit headline. They are already actively denying access in their controlled areas. This isn't a problem that's forming, this is a problem that is already here and already large.

Sure, if you consider the complete destruction of an entire ethnic group of people to be "peace". Can't fight if they're all dead. But if you truly do think that way, you are the problem and I recommend a long walk off a short pier.

That's exactly how you guarantee a permanent guerilla terrorist force.

Us Americans are pretty dumb, unfortunately. I like to think I'm not, and even so really the only reason I clicked into the comments here was to clarify if that meant Georgia the country or Georgia the state because I could absolutely see Georgia the American state trying to run this. I'd expect it more out of Florida but shit's all fucked up everywhere these days. I appreciated that clarifying comment.
