    I’m rooting for the Polio. Those cute hats and little sticks and you get to ride around at a full gallop and then drink gin & tonics afterward.

        That’s a pole. Polio is a porridge-like dish made from maize. Not grits, the other one.

          I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of polenta. Polio was a French mathematician from the late 1800s.

      Less than half voted for this.

      As usual, the apathy party won, with 36% of voters not voting.

        I still can’t believe that I know at least 5 ppl that have voluntarily stated they didn’t vote. I’m convinced they just wouldn’t vote for a woman bc they’re all not (at least publicly) republicans. We’ve still got a long way to go

          you might be able to look them up on the state’s voter rolls to find about about that last part

          Better get checked for dysentery. Or cholera. Or CDO (rearranged to be in alphabetical order because it HAS to be) 🤷

        Yes blame the voters not the system that leads to apathy.

          Yep. I hold adults accountable for their choices.

    Isn’t dysentery basically when you shit yourself to death?

      One of several things that can make you shit yourself to death, yes.

      Another fun one is cholera. Which may get a resurgence too, as regulatory capture means that raw or undercooked seafood from the Gulf of Mexico resulting in “very rare” cases might become “just a regular part of living in a modern kakistocracy”

      Yes, and we know how to treat it (not cure, but we know how to make people not die) since, well, before the times depicted on the game. We have also knew how to avoid most of its infections since… hum, I don’t know that one, but Ancient Rome was full of structures made for that, and functional, so some time before them.

      Still people didn’t use to be able to afford treatment (that is basically drinking large amounts of clean water with salt and sugar, and resting). And it takes a functional government to avoid it.

    It’s cool, I’ve got 4 x yokes and an axle; and I’ve got a good feeling about Odell Lake! Heard some ospreys have been seen about, but I’m not worried.
