Have you played Hardspace: Shipbreaker? Its the reverse, you're breaking ships apart and sorting their pieces into the correct areas, but finishing a large ship brings the same feeling as finishing a large building...

I somewhat agree with Khell.

I see lots of people being mad about the combat - but it looks like fallout4's combat to me. Hopefully they have tech trees like in Mass Effect, I hope its more than just shooting combat.

Ship creation looks bonkers, and I hope that they are keeping alien encounters close to the vest because I agree, I really want something like that.

While some of that might be real, most is astroturf.

Notice how the GOP isn't celebrating getting rid of Freedoms? Because they know this is wildly unpopular. Something like 30% of the nation supports abortion restrictions/bans.

As far as I'm concerned, if the rule of law was equal, each and every one of these abortion bans would be challenge and struck down due to freedom of religion for Islam, Jewish, and Satanic religions. Instead they are going to be upheld by SCOTUS because (insert whatever lies and bullshit you can stretch to try to make it justified here).

Don't forget they want to come for a couple other rulings, specifically around same sex marriage, homosexuality, and according to at least one senator, interracial marriage. These are the kinds of people evangelicals are. Fascists who want to force everyone to live by the rules they decree, but don't have to live by themselves. Technically, according to this ruling, any 'freedom' you have that wasn't granted specifically by the founding fathers, or later added to the constitution, shouldn't exist. This is a wild about-face, shaking the very foundations of what the centuries of legal documentation/tradition is built on.

She knew what she was doing when she did it. Now shes trying to play the victim to not lose her seat.

Get rid of the lot of them.

A sad reaction from many democratic politicians is 'thank god, now us doing nothing we promised might not lose us seats in the next election'.

I'm so tired of the two major parties being Conservative and Regressive, while the Overton window slides to the right.

You can see the number of deaths from abortions, and total number of abortions, going down over the years since the 70s. Reproductive Health, Education, and Access to Contraceptives are the best way to decrease abortions, but these zealots and boomers are continuing to make this country a worse place so they can hold on to what power they've grasped over the years.

Because they have money to send their wives/daughters/mistresses to blue states or other countries (canada) that allow it.

edit - to be clear, the core of conservatism is rules that protect, but do not constrain, the in-group, while their rules constrain, but do not protect, everyone else.

AKA anyone who isn't a white, evangelical, man, is on their 'second class citizen' list.
