I’m a simple man. I see a cute dog, I upvote.

God damn that’s a great game. At the same time, I think they did this knowing that folks would die all the time, so they didn’t want each death to be super punishing.

This is what gets to me about those who don’t vote or describe themselves as “apolitical,” because politics is the impact of society and culture on everyday life.
