OK someone keep me up to date… what happened? I think the last civilization I played was 5, and I dont recall that one being able to change civilizations midgame.
Edit: sorry last one I played was 6. And I don’t remember being forced fo change civs. Was it in a DLC or what?
I remember many years ago (like in 2016 or 2017) a Japanese fascist railed at me that they dont want millions of blacks in their country… I found his writing style to he very Japanese. In that he was saying stupid and abhorrent stuff, but was still very polite in that he was saying please in places you wouldn’t expect to find in such a speech.
Even more recently Korean nationals are really hating on black people… like why? There are barely any in their country and those that are aren’t some ghetto gangsters. They are the wealthier and more educated blacks.
More surveillance doesnt mean more safety. The US’s murder resolution rate is 50% despite more surveillance than most countries. Even New York City, a place with an ungodly number of city controlled cameras and even more private cameras STILL has a murder resolution rate of around 50% as well.
And the resolution means a person is arrested and charged. It does not mean convicted. I don’t know how often charges are dropped due to changes or acquittals or having a conviction overturned later due to any number of factors. All this means the percentage of solved murders is probably even less.
Seeing a politician behave in a manner that was seen as unthinkable even a few years prior does a lot to change what people think is possible.
The surveillance bills and alleged ‘strong borders’ shit that only exposes more and more Canadians to surveillance by foreign enemies is just utter shit. I nearly threw up when I learned about Bill C-2.
I voted for Carney specifically so shit like this won’t happen… but it did!
Veiled? This is as brazen as it gets.
I remember before I was a naturalized Canadian citizen and I had to go through the US border for visiting family or doing some minor business, they would interrogate me and fingerprint me all the time (they probably have my fingerprints in a database). That sucked. But I never went through any searches until recently, and it fucking sucks. I have family in the US that I cannot visit now because I feel like something really bad will happen to me with ICE if I go.
Also despite him releasing all birth documentation that proved beyond all doubt that he was born in the US, had an American born mother, and everything… and then they photoshopped his certificates and acted like those were the released documents and mocked him.
Fuck them.
Ever since 2018 I have been getting a flu shot every year, too. Why? In 2018 I had the worst flu ever. It was BAD. Arguably worse than even the one time I got covid in 2022 (despite being twice vaccinated for that at the time). The horror of that flu made me never want to get the flu again.
I did… but it was never that bad.
