Because I'm not going to repeat this shit another three times: In 2003-04, my company joined forces with First National Bank and Blizzard to create the World of Warcraft Visa cards. We visited the Blizzard offices and my first encounter with Mark Kern was him saying the N-word.🧵

Not a board game. A miniatures tabletop war game. Just a small correction that I'm apparently doing a lot now.
@ZyrantRex Aint if funny how big of a topic the gender of the soldiers became in a Warboardgame? Kinda ironic if you see that the armies that would be perfect for said topic get ignored.

No. I still think Snyder fucked up the first and third parts of Man of Steel, and the amount of inconsistency was awful. I gave it a 4 out of 10 back then and a 5.5 now. Gunn's Superman is a little better and way more consistent. It's a 7 or 8 out of 10. I'm waiting for a 9 or 10
Man of Steel is better than James Gunn’s Superman. Now that the dust has settled & enough time has passed, can’t we all just agree on that? Isn’t there enough division in the world? Shouldn’t there be one thing we can unite over? Zack Snyder did Superman better than James Gunn.

There's a very big difference between you or me who can afford a sign to endorse a candidate, and a corporation which has tens of millions of dollars to influence politicians to do their will. Corporate lobbying is a huge problem in the US system. They don't need another edge.
Money is in fact speech—if government officials prohibited you from using your money to buy a political sign and display it on your property, that would be a restriction of your speech

My 16 year-old son had a lot of crooked teeth growing up, so he got braces to straighten out his teeth. Mostly because crooked teeth impact how you eat and sleep. Now his wisdom teeth are growing in sideways, impacting his back teeth. If not pulled before 19, crooked teeth happen
has anyone heard of people outside the US who have these agressive surgeries for their wisdom teeth? like what goes on over there😭

It's not supposed to be one or two armies smash all other armies. There is a mechanical balance for a reason - so players can pit any army against any army and have fun. Otherwise, there wouldn't be other armies if only one or two are all-powerful. Everyone would play just those.

"(and SoS and custodes never fight each other in the first place)" That kind of defeats the purpose of the game as it is intended when it first came out. You were able to pit any army against any army, even in the same faction, and have fun. There's always a situation for it.
"Sororitas are weaker than Astartes" yes, most things are. "SoS are weaker than Custodians" they are not suppose to be stronger, it's them being blanks that are the important part. ALSO, both SoB and SoS can kill things the custodians and astartes fight, hell, SoB can kill

There's no symmetry to anything. The universe mocks balance - even in the gleaming halls of Terra, there's rot and dust in the background. If anything, it's fun because it's war forever. I can take any army and pit it against any other army (even the same faction) because WAR.

It's not grim pretty. It's grim dark. The epic part, sure, but there's no beauty in WH40k. Unless you're wanking off to Durkhari (which is weird). Everything is damaged, decaying and burnt. The battles are horrific, the casualties in millions. And still, the xenos and chaos come.

First off - It's their IP. Second - "we should focus on adding highlights on what is already beautiful and epic within the setting and its respective factions." Humanity is losing, the xenos are winning, and whole worlds are being corrupted by Chaos in the thousands. It's ugly.
Alright I’m gonna play the devils advocate since I’ve seen way too much of this, and it’s genuinely disappointing. No one cares that there are women in the setting. Of course there are, they always have been and that’s never been the issue. What they care about is the

The reality is that to make things safer costs a lot of money, so the corporations who care about every penny don't spend that money. You need to be more vigilant because corporations won't be (or will lie they are).

The more complex scams happen now because everyone can alter their IDs to seem legit. The Digital Age makes everything easier, including scamming people. You have to be twice as diligent today.

There is a half truth to this, but the scamming part did happen. As far back as I remember (the 70s). People would run these sweat shop phoning scams for checks, and by the time cops got there, it was cleared out. Mostly because cops were paid to look the other way.
zoomers won't remember this but in the 1990s when you answered a phone call it was almost always from a real person, in your real life, who you knew and were happy to talk to, rather than a foreigner attempting to scam you

I don't want to devalue the man with 7 children, but at some point, regardless of your desires, your bloodline is likely to die out. Your legacy is probably going to be destroyed by your own descendants. Live for today's legacy and your salvation. Your descendants are their own.

The interesting thing about this post is that you can have a family of 1, 2 or 3 kids and still be productive. My wife was lucky to have one when we were told that might not even be possible. A clean house with 7 kids? You're either wealthy with a maid or covering up something.
The father of seven has not finished a thought in four years. he is just moving. feeding. driving. wiping. his brain is soup and his back is finished and he has no opinions about civilization he is too tired for opinions. and meanwhile civilization is growing out of him like he

I have to come back to this because the only reason he wants to own women is because he wants society to agree that he can treat her and her daughters as property. He can beat them, tell them they have no value save his value, and then he can sell his daughters to other men for $
Christian nationalist pastor says that wives must submit to their husbands with "a sense of fear, and trembling, and awe ... not only in things she agrees with, but in everything": "She belongs to him. He owns her."

One last thing - Our society has become more worried about "winning" than how brutal everything is becoming. We're literally normalizing violence, and young people see that and don't want to be on the receiving end, so they are way less social. Which is an issue no adult admits.

Don't beat your head against a wall because you think eventually you'll be able to "find and/or fix a person that fits your fantasy type," when all the previous red flags are still there. Your "type" might be the problem. Your sexual fantasy person might be your problem.

Men gaslight themselves a lot in terms of trying to be old Andrew Tate's when in reality, you learn by losing and you take that lesson to rebuild stronger by not repeating your mistakes. Want to avoid abuse? Don't date/marry people on a win-win case, and learn to cut ties fast.
