@SeaOfThieves The ability to save game settings or at least setup from a predefined list you have curated at the minimum.
So many great ideas out there that take so much setup, would be great to just load it up and play "Rowboat Rally" without all the setup for instance.
On this, America’s 250th anniversary, I have a proposal: no more apologizing for this country’s past sins for at least the next decade.
I’m a gen Xer, and the horrors of slavery, suffrage, and the Trail of Tears were preached ad nauseam at nearly every level of my education.
That’s 40-plus years of self-flagellation, and I’m from the Deep South.
While I agree that our history is far from perfect (whose isn’t?) and acknowledging those imperfections was once necessary, it’s been done to death.
And where has it gotten us? It certainly hasn’t brought us together; if anything it’s fueling the national divide that seems to grow every election cycle.
So I’m done for a while.
Going forward I’ll be bragging about our contributions instead.
You know, about how we put a man on the moon; saved the world from tyranny, not once but twice, in the 20th Century; and about how our capitalist economic dominance enabled the greatest global migration from poverty to middle class in history.
And most importantly how now, as Europe, Canada, and Australia collapse, we stand as the last great hope for the survival of Western Civilization.
So from here on out when someone bemoans our imperfect past instead of saying “I’m sorry” I think I’ll reply with “you’re welcome.”
Because if decades of apologies aren’t enough nothing ever will be, and life’s too short to try to make peace with those who profit from war.
That SCOTUS had to rule that (i) "temporary" means "temporary" and (ii) "arrives in the United States" means "arrives in the United States" is kind of remarkable
They spent $5.5M of your tax dollars on this. For 100 beds. That's $55K per bed. If you were to simply give somebody $55K, they could rent out a room in Van Nuys for 5 years. But then no contractor or NGO is getting their beak wet on the transaction. See the scam yet?
I cannot express how much I dislike the St. Michael Prayer after Mass. it is so, so jarring to me every time.
To say nothing of the intent/content of the prayer, the language, and repetition and prominence given to it breed a sense of paranoia and cynicism. Instead of going out to evangelize the world, everyone is ready to go to war with it.
This prayer is totally fine in private devotion. It does not belong in the liturgy (or effectively within the liturgy, when it is said after the final blessing but before the recessional hymn)
Architect: “What style did you have in mind?”
Obama: “Like a brutalist dystopian warlord hideout. You know, hopelessness and loss.”
Architect: “Say no more fam.”
The only reason the phrase “master’s degree” survived the 2020s “THAT WORD IS ROOTED IN SLAVERY” epidemic is because all the women who loudly cared about that sort of stuff all have useless masters degrees
