I never tried it 'cause Xcom lore is really a mess already even without including a roswell prequel

I feel like an invasion of Mexico as a way to 'combat the cartels' has been in the consent manufacturing chute for a few years now

It might be because I'm an ancient wreck but I have a distinct memory of being a kid and a man telling me: 'women gossip, men talk shit.' in a way that definitely said he understood it was the same thing, but if you ever suggested he was a gossip his masculinity would be insulted. Also may have relation to a more religious upbringing, as 'idle talk' and gossip are prohibited in the bible and after church conversations were divided along gendered lines but the women were always described as staying late 'to gossip.'

Unrelatedbut I also think it's questionable that (as far as I can tell) every comm with a non-english language name is for a region, language, or culture, except for this one with the problematic name in english.

The 'material' in 'dialectical materialism' is ectoplasm

I might be able to trick someone into hiring me for one of those high salary gigs, but surely I would expose myself as a fraud and get fired.

This is how you advance in white collar jobs, not get fired

Evoking 'first they came for' while completely missing the point is becoming a new lib sport at this point

It was a truly baffling choice to immediately make her an admin again when she had been gone for years. You can't be expected to do that job when you have virtually no connection to the userbase anymore aside from the mod and poweruser ~~cliques~~ friend groups

edit because I forgot cliques can be more than just the mean girls meaning

The antagonism shown by the admins and mods every time they decide something behind the scenes then spring it on everyone unilaterally is so exhausting. If you hate interacting with users so much that you're making alts to harass people or just deciding to ban people who politely disagree with you then this really isn't the right gig for you

Tbh whether the site is a cozy safe space or if it's supposed to be the starting point of a vanguard party has been an issue which feels like it has been intentionally glossed over ever since federation
