Red_October

Frankincense was a fancy incense-like substance, burned for the scent. Myhrr was used in fucking EMBALMING. They were both fucking weird ass presents to give a baby, but they were also expensive and generally hard to acquire.

What an awful time to have eyes.

What, the DoJ openly admitting to redacting the files to protect “Politically exposed” people wasn’t sign enough? No shit they’re trying to bury Trump ties, they’re not even hiding that.

Because inviting your rival to some recreational outing just to absolutely dunk on them and send them home in shame is more socially acceptable than violence.

Shitty headline makes it sound like Rob Reiner was responsible.

I’ve been hoping the entire past year was a hallucination, myself.

I hate that his fucking followers will be more angry about this than the fact that he raped kids on Epstein’s island.

I think we won’t be sure until they start shooting Season 9. Maybe not even until they finish that one too.

I relentlessly hate that shit. I’ve heard a few reasons for why they do it, and none of them are good. All I see is some pretentious twat who really wants the thorn to be a thing, and it’s not going to happen. I wish them the worst.

It was never about actual freedom from oppression with those people, it was just about who was getting their way.

If you wanted to do things like prevent someone from firing or evicting someone just for being gay, that’s oppression. If you want to keep a teacher from just teaching the christian bible as literal scientific truth in a public school, that’s oppression. If you wanted to say people shouldn’t be allowed to own anti-aircraft missiles, that’s oppression. None of those are allowed, don’t tread on me, oppressive fascist state bad.

If however you wanted to round up all the brown people and put them in camps, that’s totally fine by them. If you want to arrest people for speaking out against a hard-right regime, go right ahead. If you want to strip LGBTQ+ people of any and all rights you possibly can, go for it, they’re the “bad guys.”

“Don’t Tread On Me” was always a dog whistle. It was never about freedom, it was about making sure the “right” people got tread on.

Lol this guy doesn’t know what the dodecahedron is for. Get a load of this!

Don’t forget how many simply refused to entertain reality in the first place. Every so often we still see someone telling on themselves, like “If he didn’t actually have sex with men, he’s not gay. If gay was just attraction we would all be gay.” They got pushed so far into the closet that they thought that was just how the world is.

We absolutely do need to end the cycle yes, but putting the GOP in absolute power isn’t going to make that happen, and it’s going to make a lot of things a lot worse for a lot of people in the process. Your sense of righteous indignation at the two party system doesn’t help people being black bagged by masked secret police and getting sent off to camps.

The headline makes it sound like that’s a decision that was made specifically for this pardon. It is not. Presidential pardons have only ever applied to Federal charges, never to State charges.

Yeah giving the GOP a clear run at a win is a sure way to see the change you want implemented!

It’s projection, they feel deep insecurities and discomfort with sexuality, especially their own, so they’re either assuming everyone else must be some kind of heinous deviant or they’re trying to keep the attention on other people.

Like fart spray in the ICE locker room.

Already helping to improve the housing situation in the city. Day One GOAT.

Some states, like mine, require an ID check on literally everyone every single time. Doesn’t matter if you’re old as hell and on a first name basis with the cashier / bartender, if they get caught not checking the ID they’re on the hook.

It’s not a question of the world being too big or too small, it’s the density of interesting things. A giant world with very little worth doing doesn’t accomplish much, but similarly a small world where you’re absolutely tripping over things that feel like you shouldn’t skip them will also feel claustrophobic.

Additionally, the traversal system can help a LOT here. Even a world that has a lot of wide open dead space can feel good if the process of crossing that space is itself fun. Dune: Awakening comes to mind here, where there are large spans of open desert that you need to cross, but ripping across the dunes on my sandbike was so much fun I didn’t mind the dead ground.
