Question regarding OST
Pidesco replied to Faenwynn's topic in The Outer Worlds 2 General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I see that there is a soundtrack only dlc now for avowed, while I have the artbook/avowed dlc. You got the soundtrack dlc with the premium edition? -

I have the premium edition and can only access the soundtrack through the app, as far as I know. So far it's the same with OW2. -

You have access to the Avowed soundtrack separately? -
A little authoritarianism. Just a little.

First both Houses are entirely toothless. Entirely. They will either endorse whatever comes out of this administration, or ah-hum their way to the apocalypse, with vague hand wringing about norms and civility. As for the courts, the system is slow, but the Supreme Court has already clearly shown who it stands with. Congress, lol.

It's very fortunate then that the GOP hasn't been ignoring the constitution with no consequences, so far. We really dodged a bullet here, thanks for the help.

The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?
Pidesco replied to Lexx's topic in Way Off-Topic
While my examples were more generic authoritarian than fascist, a significant portion of Eco's list already applies to a tee to current situation in the US. That said, at this point, differentiating between authoritarianism and fascism is at best an interesting rhetorical exercise, at worse a distraction. Also whether the situation now is better or worse than in the Lindberg days, is really not that important. More important is where American political institutions and discourse stand now compared to ten, twenty or forty years ago. I'd argue things are moving in the wrong direction and accelerated dramatically with Trump's accession this year. Regarding your disappointments, I wasn't really surprised myself with either media or tech companies capitulating to Trump. Tech companies especially weren't so much capitulating but rather going mask off in the name of profits. Not all of them are run by complete nutso Peter Thiel, but the Zuckerbergs and Bezos and Musks of the world are not that far removed from Thiel. -
