I think you're forgetting the Cold War and pre-Cold War, where the Soviet Union was aiding/controlling the Communists. Which kind of annoys me.

I'm not. Even during that period there wasn't parity between left and right extremism in the US, especially in terms of actual violence and whatnot. There weren't soviet backed mobs lethally depopulating towns in the US, as far as I'm aware. There's more than just one or two ruins from or monuments to exactly that on US soil from when our right wing extremists just mobbed up and murdered a bunch of people in earlier periods of our history.

Yeah, that's, uh. Ungood, on several levels?

Good luck figuring out what happened and keeping it from happening again...

It... outside of space dust or whatever and asteroids I don't think we're getting more material from somewhere? Geographic features are changing for all sorts of reasons, though, even if you ignore warming and rising waters. Volcanoes erupt, sinkholes happen, so on and so forth. Some places sink under the waves, other places dry up. Mostly it's slow as hell though, without encouragement global scale geologic change doesn't generally happen in the scale of human lifetime.

Anyway, dunno if it's changed more recently, but a quick eyeball suggests at least one study back in 2016 that had found the world had gained net landmass (surface stuff above water) to the tune of about 1 lake michigan since the 80s, which on the scale of the earth is pretty peanuts (like 1/8750th or something). So maybe some, during a certain period of time? If we actually start gaining it at rates we'd have reason to care about, we'd probably notice real easy, heh.

I mean, the second one is just a squad based AoS -- there were a few of those back in WC3 days, and I've seen at least one commercial attempt -- with some multi-faction stuff going on. If you go back to the old custom map stuff instead of the DotA fellating moba junk, you'd be in comfortable territory for that kind of experimentation. It'd be a step back in the right direction

kicked on one of the ambient noise youtube things to try to deguass a little after the funeral, cat climbed up on bed and curled up next to the computer and promptly took a nap

it'd probably be a happy thread thing if i weren't so goddamn exhausted right now, ha

Republicans sponsoring human-trafficking?

Well, yes. It's both not particularly new news, nor exactly surprising the political descendants of the dixiecrats and lost causers would be less than cautious on that particular issue.

I'll get some eventually. Probably some point after his kids actually tell him his wife's dead.

... don't disagree with them wanting to tell him in person, mind. It's just making things rough in the interim. If this stuff doesn't actually kill me, it'll hopefully work out as okay as things can. Just take some time.

Thanks. Dunno if it helps right now, but maybe later. Think the worst part for me at the moment is the rest of the family wants to wait until they're here to tell grandfather, so i'm here with him trying not to break down in front of him and it's starting to cost me fine motor control

i hope that recovers, i was already not great on that front
