Wow, I honestly had no idea they were making DLC for this? I shouldn’t be too surprised since they revived AoE II but I hadn’t heard about III. Well, I guess that’s a bit of a shame, I always had a soft spot for this game, but even in my group of friends who played RTS semi-frequently AoE III never caught on.

What doesn’t a J-POP music video with a bishounen singer solve?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t part of the problem that the auto industry wants to chase the higher profit margins on larger vehicles? As long as the perverse incentive is present it’s going to be an uphill battle to get them to produce more compact, cost effective cars.

My parents, who were both public school teachers, saw this coming well over a decade ago. They’ve seen the slow strangulation of the public school system as a basic inevitability ever since the Bush Admin. I’m not gonna go out of my way to defend the current schooling system as without issues, it’s DEEPLY flawed, particularly in how funds are allocated and how it handles children with developmental disorders/neurodivergences. However, handing everything over to for-profit groups who will have no interest in promoting the public good over making ever greater profits, is NOT the answer. Watching this happen in my own state at the same time leaves me sick.

Thanks for including the explanation. Well, that gives a small ray of hope I suppose? Things haven’t ALREADY collapsed.
