Shit like this keeps happening and Iran just shows incredible amounts of restraint.

Meanwhile, the “only democracy in the Middle East” is allowed to act like a rabid dog.

I’ll give you Venusaur but Charizard is a dyed in the wool fascist.

The liberal model not working for a developing country?

“we’re gonna elect a conservative and then push him left by defending his every action tooth and nail and promising to vote for him in the future”

Incredible gullibility

They’ve reverted to a feudal mindset. The democrats have no obligation to their voters. Only the voters are obliged to swear fealty to the Dem candidate regardless of who it is and what they do.

“Well, we’re gonna lose the left vote because we love genocide, so we should start courting right wingers who are just going to vote republican anyway”

It’s normal.

Especially if you’re writing in a popular style, tons of musicians just use the same chord progressions over and over .

Once you start layering things on the melody, it’s pretty unlikely that it will resemble anything too closely.

As long long as you’re just using your own creativity, I think it’s very unlikely you’ll just clone a song.

As far as actual body counts and gorey details? I don’t know, the eldaar, dark eldaar, old ones, and necrons are all pretty fucked up.

No, political is things that make me personally uncomfortable

China: we’re going to become a manufacturing machine for the world, but we’re going to use your investment, technology, and infrastructure to build up our country and eventually overtake you.

US capitalists: hah, yeah, sure. Would you look at these profit margins!?

In a lot of religious areas, you’re not allowed to buy religious iconography.

But if you make a set-price donation, they’ll give you religious iconography as a completely unrelated gift to recognize your piety.

I’ve been passively boycotting AAA games for years now because they all suck* and I don’t want to play them anyway

When you understand Marxism and Stoicism

“because of the Suez situation, we have a lot extra shipping containers lying around. How can we sell them in a way that makes the world worse?”

My beautiful hexbears

Well, Russia isn’t fantastic
