  There’s a box on the home page for the giveaway, but when I clicked it I got “something went wrong”, but as Shimon pointed out, it’s free on Steam too, so I nabbed it there.

  Also you can use adguard DNS on your phone to block many in-app ads.

  The way the post title is worded totally leads here. She’s presented as “the woman kicking the guys ass” - and what kind of citations do you get for kicking ass?

  Either way incredibly based.

  It looks like it’s relative to the 2004-2013 average, actually. Note the years listed at the bottom.

  not run by a dictator

  The catch here is that in the west, we label anyone anti-capitalist a dictator. You can be the very definition of dictatorial, but if you align with western interests, you’re just a “president” or a “leader” or something. But start nationalizing your oil industry and 🚨 dictator! dictator! 🚨

  So yeah, within the bounds of the narrative that capitalism is the only way, you’ll find that capitalism is the only way, unsurprisingly. But the fact that this narrative is baked into us from childhood doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s aligned with reality.

  You’re so much more aware of your surroundings when walking or biking.

  And they’re guaranteeing this super affordable public housing all while under a comprehensive trade embargo for 60+ years imposed by the most powerful nation there is, who also happens to be their neighbor.

  Never believe that housing “needs” to be expensive, it’s 100% a decision made by people who profit from it.

  especially the “investors”

  There was this study where they asked a theater full of women to rate the attractiveness of men, based on a photo and a profession. Then they changed all the professions (but kept the same photos) and did it again.

  The same picture with a higher-paying job was rated significantly higher.

  Obligatory downvote but I enjoyed the first Shapez and this one looks way cooler, I’m excited to get into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making healthier choices⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, which makes the whole endeavour more of a guessing game than a science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making healthier choices⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We can’t even measure calories accurately, never mind predicting how much your specific body will actually absorb. Maybe we could be more accurate with vitamins and stuff, but I dunno.

  That’s rad.
