i swear every time i decide to dust off Stellaris again and make a new, shiny post-cyberpunk communist xenophile human empire I get surrounded by only the most fascist, aggressive empires (including the fucking Commonwealth of Man)
at least i got that event where an alien colony ship landed on one of my planets and I integrated the floating molluscs so my nascent Culture feels diverse.
i am transfem but not on estrogen and i hate admitting that
i really get this feeling. also factors I can't readily discuss and makes me feel like a fraud sometimes. but know you aren't, and I'm not
i've posted before that i'm in a similar boat as you. i even got some DIY (which i later gave away to a former co-worker in case she gets cut off, since she's terrified of ordering it)

either way, fragging is a thing. and more regretful, anti-imperialist former troops (that renounce their former career) with training and skills can't hurt a nascent leftist movement
let's say they finally step over the imaginary line and just start arresting tons of D lawmakers for whatever reason? governors, senators, reps, whatever
predictions? mine is the dems just roll over and curl their limbs in, begging for mercy, while the disorganized masses of liberals just swirl around leaderless and upset
wtf i had no idea abortion was illegal in the UK

i'd rather a yard full of mint then a yard full of poison ivy
there is that weird floating piece of metal hovering over his leg. i can't be sure if AI or just photoshop, like he shopped himself onto a wax dummy (might explain the board)
