Now that I would believe

I don’t know that the CIA has ever given a shit about the United States.

Hell H.W. Bush was the son of a man that tried to overthrow the government and Ford appointed him to CIA director in the 70s.

I fix my own cars and do my own house maintenance.

Turn your hot water heater down or replace your shower valve

My critique of your critique of my critique is two part. One you’re not wrong. Two it would require everyone everywhere to agree to no professional armies.

I cannot wrap my head around how Elden Ring is a good game. The world is empty and dull. The bosses are copy paste. The dungeons are copy paste. It was so boring for me from beginning to end. The story was dumb. I don’t remember one character because they’re all boring and there’s no reason to give a shit about any of them. I will probably die not understanding why Elden Ring was considered good instead average at best.

Because they’re easier to control and fool. Also women their own age are over their bullshit.
