Correct, it being true makes it true.
If it wasn’t true you’d be falling all over yourself to point out the ‘successful’ communist nations.
But there aren’t any. China had to resort to capitalistic practices in order to save the nation. In 2022 Cuba was the number 161 economy in the world. Hardly a superpower and they still don’t have the standard of living we do.
Capitalism isn’t perfect, but no other system has provided so much for so many. Fact.
I’ll wait for a sale but looks cool.
Penumbra Overture, never finished it but was fun exploring and figuring out stuff.
So, what did February look like in the pre-industrial period of 1850-1900?
We do have weather data back to the 1870s in the U.S. and can look at Minneapolis to compare:
Check out the cold outlier months of Feb 1875 and Feb 1936 w/average high temperature below 8°F
Feb 1877 and 1878: 41°F and 40°F Feb 2024: 43°F
Taking into account 150-years of global warming of about 2°F, we can see 2024 and 1877 and 1878 are equivalent.
What was happening in 1877 and 1878? A very strong El Niño, just like this recent February.
Also, 1882 was very war, also over 40°F.

In other words, the ongoing global weather patterns and warmth are exactly what a climate scientist who understands variability would expect. It is easily explainable.
I’ve had this game for years but I thought it was a VR-only game. Got it in a Humble bundle for cheap.
Dunno why it’s so popular all of a sudden or why it’s still $30 normally. Maybe I should try playing it.
