Having been involved in one of those wars, from a grunt's perspective it mostly feels like this:

  1. Follow FC to assigned position.
  2. Observe slide show because there's a zillion people in this system and time dilation kicked in.
  3. Push butan when told over comms.
  4. Explode for some reason.
  5. Try to escape in pod, get podded because the UI is hard to use and TiDi makes everything weird.

Or my other favorite experience, ratting for money.

  1. Fly expensive ship into system.
  2. Target NPC ships in overview, blow them up while orbiting something.
  3. Get attacked by pirates which is either one guy multi-boxing 12 ewar frigates or gang of roving pirates nobody bothered to deal with.
  4. Lose expensive ship that nullifies somewhere between .5 and 2 hours of boring ratting.

Stealth bombing was pretty fun, I'll admit. But everything else was a bunch of neat ideas saddled by the most profoundly boring implementations imaginable. It truly is spreadsheets in space, and not just for all the math, but because one of the most important UI elements for the longest time literally was a spreadsheet. And then they did this.

There's a lot more. The CA Air Resources Board did a study on this too, which drove CA's EV mandate. You could have googled it before posting this. Weird that you didn't. Weird.

Save hundreds of lives and go on countless missions to strange new worlds, but you fuck one ghost...

It's not that they're for the kids, it's that each handful costs one child. Eggs are expensive.

Excuse me, you put adequate respect on the motherfucking TICK or I will riot.

I did a version of this during the height of the pandemic where I hung up a big old clothesline in the front yard and pinned dozens of full size bars to it. Always interesting to see which ones get taken; Twix and KitKat proved the most popular. And the line wasn't empty at night's end! Our neighborhood kids are sweet.

Ok but the snazzy office spaces don't mean better conditions. All this shit means is corpo speak for "we're asking 3 people to do the job of 15 until we decided that having someone crack periodically costs more than adding FTEs.

Hogwash, we all know marriage issues are caused by imbalances in bodily humors. For example, here we see Rudy Giuliani with an excess of black bile.

Not sure if great joke or legit criticism. Por que no los dos.
