      Forreal

      Terraforming mars is like, a neat idea that maybe we can try as a super long term project for humanity once most of our problems are solved but…

      It’s not a solution. It’s not easy, and definitively not easier than solving our projects down here on earth. It’s like, instead of repairing your leaky roof you go out and plan to build an underwater waterproof habitat dome for yourself

        Yeah I mean it’s probably possible to live underground on Mars (assuming an infinite budget) but there’s not a lot of compelling reason to dig on Mars instead of just… On earth.

      As Zach Weinersmith said in his book A City on Mars, “Leaving 2C warmer Earth for Mars would be like leaving a messy room so you can live in a toxic waste dump.”

    Why would they need to rebuild the city when they own the entire planet with regulatory capture, and a whole ass army? Never thought once about how weird it was that a private company had a military.

      The real life British East India Company had an army as big as the modern Mexican armed forces today

    One of my favorite gaming experiences ever. I don’t think I knew what the actual plot was. Something about a clone?

      You play as a blonde spike who can’t remember anything so you follow a group of people and commit a slight bit of eco-terrorism while joining up with some talking animals. You can make birds fuck so you can race them and then you fight a half angel.
