    That’s just geographical politics. People raised in urban environments slant leftist because they are exposed to people living in preventable suffering and see how small acts at community level can meaningful improvements to the lives of less fortunate.

    On the other side you have people raised in rural environments who either don’t regularly see the less fortunate suffering, or if they do it’s presented as self inflicted. The people suffering are lazy, unmotivated or just careless and splurge on recreation rather than requirements. Shows of wealth are common and celebrated while any form of charity is not targeted at local impoverished but rather somewhere abroad where no is going to see the result (all to often so it can be taken out of view and embezzled.) So youth raised in these environments slant right because they are being taught that anyone who works hard and commits themselves to living properly will get ahead, when the reality is everyone who is getting ahead is well connected and the hardest workers in the community are often the exploited working class who struggle to put meals on the table for their families.







  • Stupid, legacy calculus but calculus none the less. During the Cold war both sides recognized that a direct or near direct hit on a launch site could potentially negate any chance for retribution or follow up attacks in an otherwise limited/not all out scenario. So they counted the delivery mechanism they could identify, did some multiplication to account for misses and defenses and came up with a number. Then the other side noticed the build up, comes up with same general calculus and runs the same general math to decide how many they need. And this the goes back and forth for decades where each side is building up counters to their rivals counters. And the numbers we have now are actually a reduction from the peak of the Cold war build up.

    The number of online dms I hear complaining about flight speed races and flight spell boggles my mind. You just got licence to make 3d puzzles and encounters. And also show those players why spiders in magic the gathering had the ability to defend against flying creatures through out the 90s
