Exactly, turtles as a species survive better when the individuals help each other. This is exactly how 'survival of the fittest' works.
Humans are absolutely the prime example of this. In most ways we are inferior to many animals, worse sight, smell, hearing. Not as strong as our primate counter parts.
Our two real advantages are opposable thumbs and the ability to co-operate effectively. And so we have come to dominate the planet.
I always like how Stargate (at least early on, they kind of messed things up a little with later additions to the lore) actually explained stuff.
All the worlds are full of humans because they were taken from Earth to use as slaves.
Greek planet? Original slaves were from Greece.
Mongol planet? Same.
And imagine all the freedom that gives you in a game.
God I would love a decent Stargate game. Still haven't tried the one that came out recently but I don't think it quite explores the possibilities of a Stargate game.
It's practically ideal for a roguelike/X - Com style game. Or base building as you suggest.

What about 99%?
Sounds a bit like they've somehow made it overflow but even that should really make it muted by taking it back round to 0
I think it probably works better that way, but it was my first time playing it so I felt it might be easier to do the career (or whatever it's called) mode and build up slowly rather than going straight in at the deep end.
Reminds me very much of this:
“Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

I must get back to this game, I stalled out trying to reach the Mun because I couldn't easily get enough research to get new parts so it was mostly just trying variations of what I had.
I think I did manage a fly by and safe return at some point but it's been a while since I played so I can't quite remember.
What a lovely tribute.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I must have missed posts about it at the time. I remember you talking about your partner and Henry Scampi back on Twitter because his name was so funny it stuck with me.
I am working on an app to connect people with lawyers in emergency situations (ICE raids, police encounters, protests). Looking for a Flutter developer and someone with legal background (lawyer, paralegal, legal aid experience) who want to help build something that could literally save lives and protect rights. DM me if interested.
Boost for reach.
FYI: Calling a protest "a riot" is fascist behaviour. Protesters have a right to protest. It is in our Constitutions. The police do *not* have the right to stop them. That is blatantly the government restricting the right to free expression and the right to peaceably assemble.
So when the protesters are there, chanting and waving signs and otherwise doing what protesters do, IT IS THE POLICE WHO ARE IN THE WRONG. Their job is *not* to decide the demonstration is no longer "permitted". The right isn't something you can take away.
So when those police begin lobbing and shooting weapons at the protesters, THEY ARE THE ONES ACTING ILLEGALLY. They are literally the government not allowing people their rights. They are the redcoats here. They represent the King's tyrannical authority.
So never, ever call it a riot. A riot is an unreasoning mob, using violence to achieve their aims.
A protest that is attacked by police is "citizens taking up their right to self-defence when someone tries to violate their rights illegally."
Language matters here, folks. Don't accept their language. Call things what they are, not what they want you to think they are.
Also, "violence" against property is not violence. It is tortious, not criminal. Violence is what happens to *people*.
