I own it and would play with a group.

I have not played it, yet - so I will be garbage-tier at it. Fair warning.

I have experience with many other paradox games though so I imagine I'd pick it up fairly quick.

Cut ties with everyone who watches corporate media (i.e. regularly ingests Western propaganda) during campaign seasons. Don't waste your sanity on people participating in synthetic social hysteria.

You can probably talk to them again a month after the election - especially if their preferred capitalist oligarch "wins".

We hadn't heard from a relative who was in Asheville at the time of the flood until literally like an hour ago. Was fearing that they were among the casualty count, thank god thank fuck. Ahhhhhh

I checked the solution and it was much simpler than I expected; can't the pawn just kill the knight to avoid the king having to move back/forth? Doesn't seem like checkmate since to escape check it is legal to capture the threatening piece.

We no longer have to do explosives by physical mail/delivery. We can now do it by email.

Only thing keeping me on brave is the native ad-blocking. But I'll definitely give this a shot.

What's a cool new addiction I can start to get away from alcohol?

Something that provides a similar euphoria and has entirely different health consequences. I need to set different organs on fire.

Accepting any answers (e.g. substances, lifestyles, hobbies, games, sexual role-play, collecting funk-o pops, ruling entire nations IRL - be as creative or non-creative as you want)

It is so patently oligarchic. Sucks that it seems like the election winners will be denied power ultimately but moments like this are a rare, great example of when participation in bourgeoise politics is a good tactic; this will make the French painfully aware of how farcical and hollow their flavor of "democracy" is and will radicalize any prole who is even partially paying attention.

Seems like very short-term thinking on Macron's part - but given the current geopolitical stage we're existing within he may realize that the mask is going to fall off regardless, there are precious few rationales to keep masquerading as an acolyte of democracy.

Would love to hear what the political climate is like in-person from a French comrade.
