IDK, it's not impossible that someone who was born in the 80s will live go be freakishly old and outlive all the 90s kids.

not probable, but who knows, maybe they somehow avoided eating plastic based baby food or some shit.

always more complicated than the headlines would have you believe.

hell, Geralt spends damn near a quarter of the series straight up disarmed. one of the books is basically a legal drama about him trying to not go to jail after getting his sword stolen. don't think he has his sword for about 99% of that one.

"gotta get my fuckin sword back" is a very common plot point throughout that series. not just for Geralt. ciri spends some time sword chasing too. i don't hate it.

because that's actually not in the books lol.

i honestly hate the show because it's not at all accurate to the books either in spite of that being the bulk of their marketing. that said, the two swords things comes entirely from the games. in the books he makes comments a few times about the fancy metals in his swords helping kill monsters, but he only has one at a time.

but all of the same things could be said about Biden. he won. what changed?

the data does not support this conclusion. more young men did not vote for Trump, less people in total voted. almost no one changed their vote from last election. people were just convinced to stay home, which always results in Republican wins. both candidates got less votes total than last year, by a lot. i blame this on the "i refuse to vote for genocide" people that have just successfully accelerated that genocide.

the real metric that matters is that way way less people voted. not many people changed their votes from last time. many people are simply convinced to stay home, and as always, that results in a Republican win. the propaganda that was most effective was all of the "Kamala is no true Scotsman, so you should just not vote". i believe this was lost by the people that "refused to vote for genocide". i think that's what accelerated the genocide.

they aren't saying all media. they're saying that the media conservatives consume is like that. this is about the media and information bubble that you clearly exist in.

you expect a layperson to be capable of that? you're expectations are too high. that's the level of detail aftter you just need to go read their own words.

the Harris walz campaign has pages and pages of details about exactly what and how they plan to manage that. go read that. it surely has the answers.

nah, that's short for a name brand drug "rohyphnal", often said "roofinal" it's an anaesthetic.

Luka likes to bury her face into my hand sometimes. it's the best.

this feels like a meme format, but I don't know what it would say.

my ex spent time in a woman's prison in Georgia. she used to describe pretty much exactly this. among many other horrible things. it's funny, in America there's this common perception that the other prisoners are the scary part of prison. no, it's the guards. they would find any excuse to beat people and rape was a nearly daily occurrence for some.

the majority of her time served was before her trial or sentencing or anything. there is shockingly little difference between how we treat a person arrested, but still presumed innocent, and someone found guilty and in prison.

 
 

her name is alluka and you can see the royal quality of her countenance at first gaze. be grateful to witness her.

I'm sick as hell right now and this pulled up right outside my front door last night. stepped out to take a picture because nothing felt real for a moment. then i started coughing and kind of regretted it. worth it?

 

took this riding into Milwaukee the other day when it was foggy as hell over like a third of the county...
