You’ve got this buddy. Kick that cancers motherfucking ass.

Last time I went on 1.6 it was FULL of “exp” servers “mod” servers and all sorts of other weird jank. Heartbreaking.

Yeah, that is bullshit and a real shame. I think people that PvP in Arc are weak sauce anyway (it is a PvPvE game but… If you want to PvP why not a PvP game?). Hopefully further down the line something might be done to address that.

It was more like half a day and I’m sure it was a warm day but you’re probably right, I’m also painfully unobservant and chances are I’d only just noticed the bottle was half empty.

travel well friend!

I haven’t played Fortnite BUT if you haven’t already give Arc Raiders a look/go. It’s very fun.

(edit: it runs on Linux / Steam Deck too)

Won’t it just evaporate super quickly? I’m sure I left the cap off some isopropyl alcohol once and when I came back to it half the bottle hand gone! I say no.

Didn’t they remove Paint? (I’ve not used Windows in years).

Still waiting on that quote where I told anyone not to vote. You won’t find it, because it doesn’t exist.

My point (which I’ve been consistent about) is; that voting alone isn’t enough, not that people shouldn’t do it. If you’ve got a quote that says otherwise, I’m happy to address it. Otherwise, this is just an (intentional?) misreading of the argument.

MULLVAD-VPN. It’s cheap as chips, no signup, no sign in. Just an account code that signs you in. €4.5 a MONTH.

Excellent questions, and the answer to both is yes.

Not once have I said people shouldn’t vote. If that’s your takeaway, you’re either arguing in bad faith or you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the point.

The argument is straightforward: voting is necessary, but insufficient. Believing it’s the only meaningful political act is what keeps power concentrated and change out of reach. Criticizing the limits of electoralism ≠ telling people not to vote. It’s telling them not to stop there.

If you can’t (or won’t) engage with that distinction, then this conversation has nowhere left to go.

You’re the only one “flooding” my inbox and you’re free to stop anytime.

But let’s be clear: you’re not arguing against a point anymore, you’re just policing packaging. If you reduce “the system is broken and voting isn’t enough” to “DEMOCRAT EVIL,” that’s a failure of your own comprehension not the message or mine. When you’re ready to engage with the substance instead of your own caricature, you know where to find the thread.

Until then, enjoy the view from that very high horse.

Voting is an act. Trusting the system is a strategy. You can do one without the other.

But when you treat voting as the only proof of “giving a shit,” you’re doing exactly what my original point warns against: funneling all political energy into a structurally limited mechanism. Real power is built between elections, not just at the ballot box.

Your straw man is a misread. The critique isn’t “don’t vote!” It’s that voting in a rigged system isn’t enough.

The “lesser evil” argument you defended is exactly what enables the cycle. Fascism grows when politics is reduced to choosing between harm and complicity. For what it’s worth me pointing that out isn’t pro-Nazi, it’s the basic leftist critique of a broken system. Real change requires power built outside it, not just a ballot every four years.

The choice isn’t between voting and doing nothing. It’s between trusting a corrupted system and building power outside of it. Critiquing the system isn’t inaction, it’s the necessary first step toward meaningful action.

You’ve perfectly illustrated the original point. You’re essentially arguing: ‘This side is objectively less bad, so you must support them, and if you don’t, you’re the problem.’But that’s the very enablement they were talking about.

The argument isn’t that “Harris vs. Trump is the same.” It’s that a system which only offers a ‘lesser evil’ every four years, while tolerating the growth of fascism and protecting oligarchic interests the rest of the time, is fundamentally broken. Demanding endless, un-critical support for the ‘lesser evil’ is what allows the whole cycle to continue. You’re proving their despair correct by saying the only permissible choice is to play a rigged game.

Unfortunate you felt the need to change their words and ridicule them instead of engaging with their actual point.

They didn’t say they were “fine with Nazis in power.” They argued the system itself is broken; when the choice is between fascists and those who enable them, you’re not living in a functioning democracy. Voting can’t fix a game that’s already rigged.

Mocking them just avoids the harder conversation but you do you boo.
