#this country is a blight

Watching ill-informed people trying so hard to be transphobic about the school shooter yesterday and continually use the right pronouns would be funny if it weren't incredibly depressing

What a strange group of friends

As an adult, I can confirm that if there’s any middle school relationship that can make it to marriage, it would be Lumity

King: "I can't wait to see a real life minecart chase!"

King: "Guess minecart chases are a lot more dangerous than video games make them seem."

To be fair, that's the typical outcome of most video game minecart chases too.

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

The reality of the situation is probably just dev time crunch mismanagement for the choice thing cause nobody who's in a management position at Bioware has ever been competent but as long as they're publicly saying it's cause codex entries are disrespectful and too many choices confuses people who've never played before I'll engage with those points genuinely.

Currently thinking about Dorian and Cousland being the same age...

it would be funny if naming kids after characters from tragedies was common as a good luck thing in the orphan country verse.

Like how many times do I have to talk to my 84 year old grandpa about the uselessnesses of the supreme court in his lifetime before its genuinely torn down as a structure of power

Now roleplaying wise. In a world where my warden made Alistair king and spared Loghain and Alistair quit the grey wardens over it. There would be words so harsh and cruel that Alistair is left wondering if the two of them were ever actually friends or if he was just being strung along this entire time. Which makes the whole situation all the worse.

*joseph joestar voice* "We made it to Louisiana. Now remember, in most of the country, the states are divided into 'counties'. But in Louisiana, they're called 'parishes'. This is because of the blight on society known as the French. Polnareff, you're the one exception."

The Great Hunger in 1845 - 1852 can’t actually be blamed entirely on the potato blight, there was plenty of food in Ireland that could have - and should have - been distributed amongst the population, but the British kept exporting all of it: peas, butter, cattle, wheat, etc.

They sent in soldiers to guard the ships full of food from the starving men, women and children and interfered with other countries trying to send aid.

It should serve as no surprise then, that Ireland has been so resolutely on the side of Palestine, when Israel is withholding food, aid and other essentials from being delivered to Gaza.

If you can empathize with the great hunger - and you SHOULD - you need to be able to empathize with the people of Gaza.

Y'know, the funny thing about all this "RETVRN TO THE 1950S" shit is that it's all "THIS IS WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU" when nothing in the pictures was actually taken away.

You can dress like a '50s guy and style your hair with Brylcreem if you really want. There's no law against that. You can raise a family in suburbia and cook hotdogs in the backyard. In fact, you've been able to do that for so long that it's kinda ruined the country by blighting the land with terrible housing developments and infrastructure. It would be hard to argue that any other lifestyle in the US has been more catered to and facilitated than the suburban nuclear family.
