Those are your choices. And the correct one should be obvious.

Please tell me I wasn't the only one that felt atrocious for nuking people

Eventually it gets to the point where nuking cities is the only efficient way to break them.
Nah son. Armies of rocket trucks work wonders.

Or you can save time and money by just nuking them.
But fallout and pop loss.

Or are you some kind of non-puppet-empire faggot?

I give no shits about pop loss cause smaller cities cost less to control and fallout can be cleaned up in a couple turns.
If you weren't buying nukes every turn you could afford large pop puppet cities.
Cultre+science boosts are worth the standing army.

Or I could keep my giant army of giant fighting robots and nuke cities instead.

I have no issue with this. Sometimes I don't see the PM because I'm busy at work until an hour or two after it's sent and I'm sure other mods have had the same thing happen and because of this things sometimes spiral out of control and the OPs thread gets locked because of the actions of only a couple individuals.

Just one thing. Having dedicated hunter/gatherers that don't have to take "time off" to rear young is actually super beneficial to a tribal society.

So in that manner, yes being homosexual was actually an advantage for your tribe.

He associated psychiatry with communism
kek

Source? Given his association with astrology, though, it really wouldn't surprise me.

He was a firm believer that "The Naked Communist" contained nothing but truth. This being his actual quote on the book.

Quote
No one is better qualified to discuss the threat to this nation from communism. You will be alarmed, you will be informed and you'll be glad you heard him


Goals number 38 and 39 of communists according to "The Naked Communist"
Quote
38.Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

These were standard Southern California beliefs at the time.

He fucked our mental health services over and caused most of our homelessness by throwing the mental patients out onto the streets. Our mental health facilities haven't recovered since.
I'm not entirely sure how much Reagan was personally responsible for that.

It seems, if anything, to be a consequence of his pursuit of a state-focused conception of federalism, which left the states largely under-funded and needing to make cuts. Whether or not those mental health services were cut by the states themselves - unnecessarily - is debatable.

That isn't to say, of course, that Reagan couldn't have handled the transition to such a form of federalism better.

He repealed our Mental Health Systems Act that was going to strengthen support for our mental health facilities and then cut funding for those ones that existed. He knew damn well what he was doing. He associated psychiatry with communism and therefore had no desire to actually understand it and ignored the professionals who had gotten the MHSA through congress under Carter after it was determined that our mental healthcare systems needed to be reformed.

Why does everyone kick up a fuss when homosexual characters are introduced? Can you not just chalk it up to poor characterization if you take such an issue with it?

How come whenever someone tries to bring up something they think may be shoehorning or tokenism they get labeled as whatever negative association that's related towards the subject material?

Shoehorning and tokenism are poor characterization. However talking about this poor characterization often leads to cries or racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, et cetera.

Do I think Korra being bisexual was shoehorning? No. It was something that was hinted at for about 2 seasons so it had some build up. Her sexuality wasn't even what defined her, if you were to ask someone "What are the defining traits of Korra?", her being bisexual wouldn't be on that list in all likelihood. Therefore tokenism is also avoided.

However I also happen to sit on the opposite side of Turkey on this issue. Unlike certain other people I don't start implying that he's some sort of homophobe and am open to discussing the way he's interpreting this.
That's the thing. It doesn't seem like tokenism. It sounds like bad writing and characterization to me, not shoehorning lesbians in to appeal to the LGBT's. There's a very stark difference.

.....

Did you read what I posted? I said that it avoids being tokenism and it doesn't feel like shoehorning since it didn't come out of nowhere. It had subtlety been built up over two seasons. However I can see why someone might feel it's shoehorning as they could have missed that subtle build up I was talking about and that's why I'm not instantly pointing the homophobe finger at people who take issue with it.

Tokenism and shoehorning are bad writing and characterization. They always have been. You're just trying to make trukey out as some sort of closet homophobe now.
I'm not calling anyone a homophobe. I just find it funny that whenever a slight semblance of a homosexual character is introduced, people throw their toys out the pram and come up with pathetic excuses like 'shoehorning.' If you think it's bad characterisation that's fine, but I somehow really doubt you'd kick up such a fuss if it was two heterosexual characters.

>"I'm not calling anyone a homophobe"
>continues to imply I'm a homophobe because I'm apparently "kicking up a fuss" over someone being bisexual
>implies turkey is a closet homosexual with jabs at him making a fuss over what he feels to be shoehorning of a non hetero character
>hasn't read a single thing I've posted
>doesn't realize that I have no problem with this fictional character being bisexual because it was tastefully done and didn't feel like some sort of overt attempt at pandering

You're not interested in having an actual discussion here are you?

Eww. Generic Zombie Film: The Sequel doesn't sound that great.
You obviously never played The Last of Us

Obviously I have. It's gameplay is nothing special and it's story is just a generic mish mash of every zombie film you've ever seen before.
Its the only zombie centric thing I can enjoy anymore. Really good story and characters. Writing and acting were superb. Solid graphics. Gameplay was intense, and rationing ammo + supplies on the harder difficulties was nerve wracking. Multiplayer isn't tacked on bullshit. Its is actually fun and again intense.

Easily one of my top 10 games
