Saeculum [he/him, comrade/them]

Depends on where your house is, and if it’s urban or rural.

It provides enrichment for the kids, as they figure out how to get past it.

Scares off libs and wreckers

Fortunately, Edie is an unambiguously female name,

Is it? My first glance would assume it’s some variant spelling of Eddie. Never run into anyone called Edie.

It’s not even marginallymighty

A succulent Turkish meal?

Based on the wording of the article, I believe they are all out on bail.

Green power needs significant overcapacity at the moment though right? Because sometimes it’s not sunny or not windy, and balancing that across large regions through the grid costs a ton of money.

It’s a waste, sure, but it would be wasted anyway and this makes building green power a little more profitable in the system we’re forced to live under.

It’s like “I play baseball” vs “I play sports”.

I think more like “I play baseball” Vs “I play softball/rounders/cricket”.

It’s not that difficult to convince people who enjoy little league to try standard baseball.

People complain about it a lot, but I’ve never actually ran into a system that uses any maths beyond what a five-year-old should be capable of. Closest I think might be Mutants and Masterminds with stacking multipliers, but still just some extra steps. Nothing that knowing your times tables wouldn’t prepare you for.

I assume this is something you can’t find a torrent for? You could always try the quick and dirty method of just taking a screen capture for the length of whatever it is you’re watching.

Bears are extinct in my country and all the cool caves got used to make cheese.

While piracy isn’t stealing, piracy does decrease profits of the rightful owner.

Only if you would otherwise have bought it. If you never had any intention to buy the thing, the rightful owner loses nothing.

He’s literally me fr fr (except for the talent and strategic genius)

The bible is not a credible historical source, and is also missing the 2000 most recent years of history. The middle east has had long periods of peace and prosperity.

There’s an element selector tool, looks a bit like the colour picker, click that, then click on the missed ad.

You can be wise, observant and faithful all you like, but your personal conviction and interpersonal skills aren’t going to help you recall obscure holy texts purely from memory.

Guess what? Vampires were based on bigoted views of Jews too! You actually aren’t helping your case!

Bram Stoker didn’t invent vampires, and the creatures and mythology associated vastly pre-date the antisemitic culture surround his novels.

And “Fae” simply aren’t comparable, they are intelligent life who can be interacted with and generally aren’t ontologically malicious.

They’re perfectly comparable. They are not ontologically malicious, but in the majority of their incarnations, they are completely divorced from human mortality or ways of thinking. Creatures that look like people, but do not think like us or share a remotely similar moral framework. (Plenty of mythological fairies are ontologically evil on top of that).

blah blah blaah it’s just verbal diarhea because this conversation is old and you’re just grasping at whatever you can.

I hadn’t realised your name was supposed to be representative of the quality of your discourse.

Not every fantasy enemy has to be morally nuanced, and intractably evil groups aren’t necessarily fascist or racist allegories.

Their world has an abundance of creatures that prey exclusively on humans, and a lot of them do so through mimicry. The demons are predator animals that feed exclusively on people, with the ability to work together to some degree, and very rudimentary abilities to pretend to be human in pursuit of that main goal. Creatures like them are prominent parts of nearly every cultures mythology, and just like the Fae, or vampires or anything similar, they don’t need moral agency to work as antagonists.

in reality most socialists really hate the russian federation.

They are dancing around wearing the skin of a better, dead, country. Every moment the Russian Federation figuratively draws breath is an insult to the people who died to build a better world for their descendants.
