I have a rabbit, but we got him through a rabbit rescue organisation that picks up abandoned rabbits and fosters them until they can be adopted. They also smuggle rabbits out of a hell state in my country that just straight up doesn't allow them as pets and kills them if found. You have to show proof you have the capacity to care for it and pay an adoption fee to cover the cost of vaccinations and shelter for the next rabbit they rescue.

Also rabbits are the best pet. They are quiet, the are vegan, they love playing like a dog but also just lounging around like a cat, they clean themselves, and their poo doesn't smell. They are also really smart and can respond to their name, and can be easily litter trained.

Your last paragraph made me both happy and sad. Don't cry for what could have been, smile for what was...

Nah I like rugby, which reminds me the world cup is on soon so I'll have to figure out what teams I want to see lose hardest

Hmm I didn't know about that. I'm not too knowledgeable on music history in terms of label fuckery and stuff.

I don't know enough about them outside of my brother listening to them, your take is probably more accurate.

Unfortunately for me I prefer hockey, and I don't think I could pull off hockey jerseys as everyday wear lol. I've accepted the stereotypical WASP look now, it throws people off when they start talking politics and realise I'm far more left than they thought.

Fair, it's not something everyone can get into. Maybe I'm liking it more as I get older, like wine and polo shirts.

Post-Punk for sure. Everything from Joy Division to Ulitsa Vostok. Also shoegaze is pretty sick.

I always get the vibe that FFDP are a bunch of really nice and polite people trying to give off a vibe of being hardcore and angry and not understanding how to do it.

Ew I hate Christian contemporary. I can get on board with some orthochants though. The only modern Christian contemporary stuff that's cool is the Farcry 5 soundtrack, and I never played the game because I don't like Farcry

Third verse rap verse. It was so formulaic.

Modern country music is such a perversion of the genre. It used to be about working class people and suffering against the law and bosses. Now it's all consumerist othering shite. I can listen to older stuff plenty.

Fallout 1 and 2 are my two favourite iso RPGs, although Colony Ship is looking to be up there once it's finished. Enjoy it 🤙

The issue is the revolution is not an instant snap to full communism. There will need to be structures in place to prevent the slipping back into capitalism, and the undermining of the new proletarian state by internal and external forces. This means things like police, military, and government, but fundamentally different as the structure of the society they serve will not be designed to protect the wealthy. The transition from revolution to full stateless, classless, moneyless communism will take an unknown amount of time.

Because of the unfortunate centralisation that's happened, with so many people being directed to lemmy.world or choosing to go there, a big DDoS attack on world would disrupt a lot of communities that people on other instances use. It's in everyone's interests to spread the load more, which is why I find it sad when some communities migrate to world. UnixPorn was one, although it was already on lemmy.ml which is a larger instance too

Yeah true, they're classics for a reason I guess.

This makes me realise I need a similar term for white Australians. VB Australians? Football Australians? Any ideas? (Tooheys) New Australians works for people from NSW since it's a beer and highlights the colonialism, but I don't know about it.

Also sticking with the beer theme, Bud Light Americans? That would doubly piss a lot of them off with their frothing rage over a trans woman doing one ad.

That one was the most mask off one of the lot. The whole take was peak deeplib: jobs as a gene-filtering system and anti-UBI to stop the poors breeding. Absolute fuckhole

While Papers Please is very good, it has more in common with nations in a post-soviet balkanisation than a communist nation. The banality is very present in modern western government as well, and the inability to afford medicine for your child is something that is ripped straight from the modern USA. It is a great approximation of what people imagine due to media conditioning, and that makes it very easy to role-play within the game and really enjoy it.

All in all, amazing game, amazing soundtrack, not really indicative.

Workers and Resources is an interesting one. It focuses on the material reality of running a planned economy without internal money supplies. Also a very good city/industry builder.
