I think those work because of social and societal differences. Rejecting drugs is a sign of rejecting colonial oppression in Asian, using drugs is a rebellious act against oppressors in the US.

Plus, the US already does have draconian drug policy. It uses drug use and distribution as a justification for long term prison sentences and even extra judicial killings, you just gotta have dark skin or be politically inconvenient. Heck, it just declared a drug is a weapon of mass destruction, but it's doing nothing to go after the massive companies that manufacture that drug, it's just using it as an excuse to bring military level force to civilians.

I'm really happy with All Under Heaven and with it, I think CK3 has become a very worthy successor to CK2.

I'm excited to see what's next for the game, as it seems like the team developing it have a phenomenal grasp on what makes it fun and interesting.

And, uh, is that a 3D modeled donkey? Are we gonna get animal kingdoms back from CK2?? I dunno if they could announce something that would make me more excited than that.

I'm not sure the terminally online left you mention make up a significant enough portion of any electorate to impact the race in this way.

Starfield said to me "our base formula is dated and needs to change fundamentally" and I simply don't think they're gonna take ES6 in that direction.

Well, it's not kosher but it is fun and silly. Now can we deep fry it?

Christmas is more of an industry than a holiday, thus all the products and goods made to market it.

This person is a bit crazy for using this as a springboard for their posting, but I will say that I got far better at making new friends and flirting after doing cold call telesales for work.

It does seem easy enough to whip together in photoshop, and partially I'd guess that's what happened because of the way the fish casts zero shadow on the hand behind it and the way the salmon skin is layered over one sushi piece and no others, but perhaps it's simply become easier for companies to use GenAI for even simple photoshop tasks.

The salmon look like a picture of a salmon trophy that's been cut out with a pen tool selection without a feather.

Though the meat looks a little bit suspect...
