Civilization 3, but I'm stuck in anarchy the whole game
YouTube video by Suede Civilization 3, but I'm stuck in anarchy the whole game

generally I dislike podcasts

I don't want to hear your nonsense

Almost like shutting down safe consumption sites and funneling money away from harm reduction and into abstinence grifting makes things less safe and increases harms. This is consistent with decades of data and was completely predictable.
