the little “world tension” meter in HOI4 just went up by like 3%

losing half of my income to imagine a version of myself with the other half of my income? I can do that for free. what on earth is supposed to be the upside here? one that’s so great I’m losing half of my money?

No? They killed the most people they have since recording in 2022 and then killed more next year

jesus fucking christ. last i heard, 2022 was the deadliest year on record for police murders and that’s already been overturned

shrug and say that things will have to get worse before they get better

sorry, it’s been a bit since i’ve been to the news mega

what?

Yeah…he literally put $1400 in your pocket, assuming you’re American, at the beginning of his administration in response to the covid-19 virus.

I am American. He literally didn’t do that. I’m not going to dox myself any further than I already have on 3 years of hexbear but I was disqualifies from claiming any money out of a thin pretext. I absolutely could have used that money and frankly I deserved it as much as any other American did. $1400 was already a point negotiated down from $2000, and this was in direct response to a century defining global catastrophe

Americans will not line up out the door out of the polling stations to vote for a guy who, in time of great crisis, did the absolute bare minimum

I’d bet money on it. Joe Biden’s failure to do anything material for the public, the crushed railroad strike followed by what happened in East Palestine months later, his unquestioned backing of Israel, failure to materialize any meaningful student loan debt relief. He’s running the Obama playbook without any of the charisma.

My 100% honest, best guess is that Joe wins the popular vote and loses the EC, just like how Trump won last time

SOMEONE FUCKING HELP ME I’M STUCK IN THE FUCKING WALL

Boooooooo

Ah, a restaurant run by the head chef and the head chef alone

Rotting in prison is too good for that bastard. Let him rot in hell instead

Just because you 100% bought into western media bullshit about WMD in Iraq and the incubator babies doesn’t mean you have to double down on the next round of obvious bullshit

Clerk: “Um, sir, that doesn’t look like a banana. Are you sure you entered the right code?”

• The jig is up. Run

• Apologize profusely

• [Rhetoric: Heroic 15] Convince the clerk you don’t know what fruits are

EVEN 58%

+1 You look terribly frazzled

This is a Red Check. It can not be retried

Rhetoric: [Heroic: Success] “Is this not a banana?” You say in the most genuine tone you can muster

Savior Faire: You may have been caught, but you managed to feign enough innocence to get trouble off your back

The clerk gives a dumbfounded expression

Clerk: “Uhm, no sir, that is an avocado, not a banana”

Half-Light: She is too terrified of your empty skull to properly correct you on this

yeah just double checking we had this one

I get around this by making so much pastaroni that I have the instructions memorized by this point

now with 80% more intellectual rigor than the original!

storing raw meat on the same shelf as ready to eat foods

oh you best fucking hope the health inspector doesn’t see this
