Is that like the new SimAnt? If it's any good I might pick that up, especially if I can play it on a tablet. The original was addictive as gently caress and was one of my other favorite classic Maxis games (I shouldn't even have to mention my numero uno, so I won't - and despite my crazy sister's wacked out opinion it is not loving SimHealth).



Fun fact: I used to be sorta acquainted with one of the designers for SC2K back in the 90s and I somehow managed to convince them to put one of my favorite cities on a later release version as a preloaded saved game...cheers if you happen to recognize it!

Trump prez. Flynn is now officially registered as a foreign agent. Nothing matters

flynn is a fuckin ★★★ general in the army, and a bunch of officer promotions are legislatively guided to being no more than a certain percentage of eligible people for a certain rank—like people thought flynn should beat out some other candidates for a bunch of rankin advancements

plus a whole lot of those promotions require senate confirmation, even if theyre usually done in bulk (so the senate just votes yeah sure promote this entire list of assholes to the ranks indicated on said list), plus he was director of defense intell and natl sec advisor, both senate confirmed roles

how the bonerz did this crazy fuckin compromised rear end in a top hat madman rise to the top of any list of candidates for anything ever, let alone do so and get confirmed by the senate a total of like 8? 5? 69?? times

They can do whatever the gently caress they want. Nothing matters and a shitbag is president. But because you are doubling down, why is it frivolous Jeb! Republican? And where else should the taxpayers money be spent. Please tell me more.

Frivolous means a lawsuit has no chance of being won. The money would be better spent in Connecticut's Health and Human Services and the judges' time would be better spent seeing cases of disenfranchisement, right to attorney violations, or police misconduct.

I will say though, it's probably not actually the family's fault. The class action nature makes it more likely some lawyer rounded them up and lied to them that they could win.

i heard something like he was really, really good as an attack dog and didn't become a psycho russia pawn until after he got let go

so he kept getting promoted because he was a great subordinate, until he had a command position, where he promptly got thrown out?

the army is just as dumb as everywhere else, it's more about who you suck up to than any kind of competence

so he probably did the standard army thing and took credit for all the things his competent subordinates did

"That's what they all say!"

Good for him. Trump and Sessions both told him a few months ago he could stay. He deserves an explanation for why they changed their minds.

Does Trump have a single US Attorney of his own lined up for confirmation, or is he going to do to the justice system what he did to the State Department?

tbh if I had to choose between watching the new season of the Leftovers and important political things, I'd chose Leftovers. That's a personal failing, but life is terrible and escapism is as essential as air for me.
