I'm kinda desensitized to seeing dead bodies but seeing the burnt children scream and writhe in pain was difficult to watch. CW of course

Keen eyed observers will note that although the hand made sign says that they are reserving this parking spot for memorial day, in fact it is always reserved for Veterans anyway.

Why can't it be something fun like swapping surnames and then creating a portmaneau or blended name for the kids.

The advert for it featured basically every major Aussie politician spewing anti-protestor, pro-zionist bullshit.

I fucking hate this country.

We're a small TTRPG group on Discord that's been active for a little under 2 years and for various reasons a number of our members have dropped out. So far we've played mostly stuff for/built ontop of D&D 5e, but we've also played a little bit of Roll For Shoes and Everyone Is John. The plan moving forward was to play some Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e (namely, the central Enemy Within campaign) but this may change based on how prospective players fit with the existing players (including EstraDoll and GarbageShoot)

We usually meet on Sundays around 6:30-7:00PM EST and end around 10:00, however the weekends of May 26th and June 2nd are kind of up in the air, which seems like a good time to recruit new players.

CWs are sort of hard to predict, however, when I find/build something that seems like it should be CW'd I will post such in the Discord server.

Heya, all of you

You can start through this hyperlink right here and begin reading along with a book while you're listening to it.

Best way to enjoy it.

First book is A Game of Thrones.

Current (and fifth book) that I'm on is A Dance with Dragons.

How are you all enjoying your current read-through, if you are reading along with me?

This is for those currently reading.

Get the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth book from your local library near you. Or get the book PDF from Z Library or Anna's Archive, whichever book you're on or currently starting with.

Discussion question:

What's your favorite part in A Dance with Dragons?

Literally peak capitalism. Straight up scamming desperate people by selling them hopes and dreams but making them live in subhuman conditions and constantly fucking them over.

This is essentially what's left of Canadian Capitalism and it's hurting both Canadians and Indian Immigrants.

Oh no, our system that enables frauds and liars who engage in relentless self promotion over people with actual capability has generated another disrobed emperor

"He's one of the more intellectually dishonest guys in tech," another said at the time."I've had plenty of meetings with him where he says things where I'm like, 'That just cannot possibly be true,' but he can kinda get away with it."

Jamming is a very inexpensive tactic as the software is relatively cheap and it can take out munitions worth tens of thousands of dollars, Defense One reported.
