Why does a foreign insurance company with a few floors in the building get to rename a landmark? The Empire State Building has been the Empire State Building since day one. d'oh!
Names of monumental structures should not be changing names. But I'd make an exception for Trump Tower Chicago. Obama Point or Hillary Heights are just two replacement names which come to mind.

incidentally for the people who aren’t zedaph watchers I have to express just HOW MUCH the crevasse is a step forward for zedaph building. season six he. didn’t have a base really if I recall correctly. in season seven he had an undecorated cave he put silly machines in. season eight he at least DECORATED but it was sure still a hole in a mountain. season nine it was a base he did a BUILD with! still a hole in a mountain. season ten is a STEP UP it’s a hole with NO MOUNTAIN REQUIRED,
#hermitcraft#zedaph#I SAY THIS LOVINGLY AND I HONESTLY LOVE HIS BUILDS#and his s9 base was gorgeous and a great monument to Zedvancements#but it’s SO FUNNY. predictable king who builds the same way I do: panic and dig a hole.#I wasn’t around for s5 to see how that fits into this trend. I suspect it was also a hole in a mountain tho.#although this isn’t fair of me. he ALSO had a game show. that’s basically the same thing as a base.

oh my god sometimes America is so funny in a positive way like today they shut down the airport for an hour and got a million crazy clearances from the government and the military to fly planes over the national mall which is like one of the most restricted airspaces in the country
All so we can sit around and look at funny planes go brrrrrr
Like amazing incredible fantastic this is the true meaning of freedom

BRO 😭
No the fuck you aren’t
Btw they’re both crafted using the exact same materials except the good one uses metal and Sampo’s uses trash
#idk why I’m reading item descriptions#worth for the sampo mention#also did you know that the mourning actors flew over jarilo-vi hundreds of years ago#they wrote an eulogy because of the destruction the legion caused and then left#later the architects found a beautiful stone and build the ever winter monument with it (mixing it together with geomarrow)#sampo koski#hsr

if you’ve ever wondered why i am the way that i am just know that i was raised by a man who built a 1:1 scale model of mont saint-michel in survival mode minecraft over the course of several years with nothing but google maps screenshots of the place. and he refuses to put the fucking thing on youtube
#my father is basically one of those insane minecraft build youtubers#except he does it exclusively for his own enjoyment and never shows anyone except his wife and children.#this is not the only gigantic monument build he’s done. he did some famous hotel and a bunch of bhuddist monuments also#and like. some cathedral i want to say. can’t remember#all in the same world. all on survival mode. completely vanilla no cheats or worldmods whatsoever#so anyway. that’s why i’m capable of writing 46 pages straight of video game character analysis. the obsessiveness runs in the family#personal

You say, "Well, I'm not sure it is a guy with a white beard." For instance, somebody a few years back said that God might be a woman. Well I must say, since Linda's died, l've thought, "Have I got a contender!" [laughs] That would be my most devout wish, I could handle that. She's a real good candidate - she'd be very merciful, yet tough as nails.
Paul in January 1999

And I'd love to be proven wrong, but I really think all of the ICJ hype is going to end in big disappointment for most folks
#i was literally on a zoom call last night and there was someone in it who is working in the hague rn#he was giving us a tour of the court building and all of their fancy statues and shit. people were mesmerized.#no institution in a building with a bust of tsar nicholas II in it is going to be a vehicle of liberation. sorry.#folks need to brace themselves for continuing to organize and fight after this bit of political theater is over#not that what SA is doing is not historic and monumental#but really don't hold your breath for a bunch of ruling class judges to rule in favor of the oppressed

orv spoilers!!!
ok guys. guys. why aren't we spending every single fucking moment of our lives talking about the oldest dream & kim dokja scene?? like hello??? i'm not even talking about when kdj tries to stab himself no no i'm talking about the few, small moment leading up to that, when it's just them, staring at each other.
it's such an gut wrenching powerful scene in my opinion. like like like oh my god. so much has happened. and yet, and yet to them it's still about the same webnovel. kim dokja has aged thirteen years since he was this kid, but as he steps forward they still are both just kim dokja.
They both remember the cold rush of air when they leapt from their school balcony. They both remember the breathless laugh before they did it. They probably both remember the way it reminded them of when they were five, getting thrown into the air by their mother, her face not yet wrinkled with regret. They remember the way it burned as they hit the cold pavement and as blood seeped into the concrete. the way that whole thing was nothing more than a reminder that this time there was no one left to catch them.
They remember the flashes of cameras and they both remember typing three tiny words into the hospital computer.
They are both kim dokja: One is just the past and the other is the future.
They stare at each other when by all definitions they shouldn't be allowed to exist close to other. Kim Dokja hates him, he hates himself and he hates his past. and the oldest dream wishes he were him he wishes he could be someone stronger ,someone better, and that's why our kim dokja exists. They are trapped in this circle of resentment and remorse.
His companions stare, registering the scene in front of them. what this means. and it's this heartbreaking sort of realization that the god they came here to fight is not just a child, but the past of their leader. this world that has bruised them and hurt them and killed those they loved, was caused by one of the ones they loved.
And then the oldest dream( he's just a fifteen-year-old kid. he doesn't even have a drivers license yet. he doesn't know anything in this world except for pain and the rush of joy that comes with another chapter) opens his mouth. He stares at his future. A future he has created for himself. and he whispers, in a slow voice, his face twisting
"M-monster…"
#also obsessed with the part where kdj stabs himself because to me that is the PINNACLE of his pain & self-hatred and it's the monument to#every single hint and subtle moment that builds kim dokja's self-hatred bit by bit#it is *the* moment of all that burning pain and agony and oh my god is it beautiful#and then all his compainions#in their own way#grab a hold of him. they stop him from hurting himself. from killing himself#and it's so#god it's so beautiful#i'll make a post about that one day#orv spoilers#tw sui attempt#mentions of suicide#orv#tw suicide attempt#omniscient reader novel#omniscent reader's viewpoint#omniscient reader's viewpoint
