I want more people to know that while the Palestine Olympic team consists of only 8 athletes, at least 69 Palestinian Olympic athletes have been killed since October 2023. This includes athletes who were going to compete in these games and retired athletes such as Majed Abu Maraheel, the first Palestinian Olympian, who died of kidney failure in a refugee camp product of lack of medical treatment.
I kind of miss how pre-2000s JRPGs would just do the cutscenes with whatever characters happened to be in your party at the time – I mean the active lineup, no back-benchers teleporting in for the cutscenes bullshit – and they'd adjust the dialogue's diction and vocabulary to match whichever character landed in whichever speaking position, but not its substance. I'm not saying the result was high literature, but it never got old being able to arrange your party to produce a sensitive heart-to-heart between two characters who had literally never interacted prior to that point, or for a nuanced discussion of the nature of evil to be carried out by a cave-man and a dog.

When you live as long as gods and dwarves do, your sense of time goes fuzzy.

What are you trying to say, Mimir?
4.
I'm saying, that this is going to take time.
Time on a scale that you can't comprehend at your age.
Oh.
5.
Cheer up, lad. You're a god, after all.
You'll probably even live to see it.
“There's already American contractors here, bidding to rebuild this joint. You're gonna tell me. You know, that's all the defense department is. We're bodyguards for American contractors. [...] The U.N.? They don't... We own the U.N. The U.S government owns the U.N. We foot the bill for the U.N. The U.N. does what we want it to. Except for who? Libya and Cuba. So what. We wanted to go in there in a week, we'd take those over if we wanted to anyways. But we foot the bill for the U.N, they'll vote how we want them to vote. That's just our, that's, that's the U.S puppet. You guys should know that you're, you've been in college, I haven't!”

This is for the support of Gaza's Municipality Services - which help ensure clean drinking water, waste collection, debri removal and sanitation services - life saving services to run a state - reader I imagine wherever you are or how lacking the municipality services in your city is, it's not worse than Ghazza.
