I’m sorry to hear that. And yes, it’s depressing to see these “privitization will save us all” types destroy public services using the same old playbook of “defund, defund, defund, point out the issues after decades of defunding, then start to slow-roll private options until the public service has been fully hollowed out” everywhere.

This might be a bit sensitive of a question to ask, but what country are you in? Because I’ve lived in several western European countries and the access to healthcare wildly varies between them. Especially countries that’ve “enjoyed” a multitude of conservative/right wing governments over the past three decades seem to have really embraced enshittifying healthcare access and affordability while pushing an American-style private system as the “solution”.

Overall I think one could argue that by the time of the events of TES 3 nothing the Tribunal was doing was particularly good looking.

If it wasn’t for the Nerevarine Dagoth Ur would’ve eventually converted all the inhabitants to zombies, with the Tribunal being mostly powerless to stop him.

Love seeing Morrowind references in the wild.

By the way, it’s strongly implied in the game that holding those meteorites suspended above the city is a bargaining chip by Vivec to scare people into continued worship of him to offset the fading power of the heart of Lorkhan (which they used to become the tribunal of gods in the first place).

This is also why, in the expansion (after the Nerevarine destroys the heart) we see the meteorites falling to the earth after Vivec disappears. This eventually triggers the apocalyptic red year, which leaves large parts of Morrowind destroyed and explains the dark elf refugees in TES V (plus the expansion where you can see the mainland of Morrowind as a smouldering ruin from the shore of Solstheim).

Yeah, totally unrelated. Just like the large amount of people falling out of windows in Russia. And all the people that got poisoned or got to drink Polonium tea. All completely unrelated accidents.

We don’t know for sure, but that’s what this meme is playing on.

Prigozhin marched on Moscow despite Putin’s warning to retaliate against any rebellion, then stopped his advance after talking to Lukashenko and getting offered amnesty in Belarus.

We did try have a moose riding mounted unit at some point if memory serves.

Yeah, he’s pointing out what conservatives in the US don’t want to hear and can’t see for themselves; the consevative ideology is inconsistent with itself. Probably as a result of decades of being contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian.
