Very well, Nerevar. You wish to hear a tale of my encounter with an Argonian?

On a dark and ashy evening, I, Dagoth Ur, found myself in the heart of my city. As the god of House Dagoth, I walked with purpose through the twisting corridors of Kogoruhn. There, in the dimly lit chambers, I beheld an Argonian, standing like a shadow in the obsidian darkness. Her name, she told me, was Sul-Matuul, and I found myself intrigued despite my disdain for her kind.

Our first date, if you could call it that, was an unusual affair. Sul-Matuul, being an Argonian, had a fondness for swampy, humid environments. She suggested we visit a hidden corner of Morrowind, a place where the air was thick with moisture and the smell of rotting vegetation hung heavy.

We embarked on a journey to the heart of the Bitter Coast, trudging through the muck and mire. The Argonian's tail flicked with excitement, and she spoke of Hist trees and Hist sap, matters that held no interest to me. Nevertheless, I, Dagoth Ur, entertained her ramblings.

Our destination was a swampy grove, where the Argonian insisted we perform a traditional Argonian dance. I found myself awkwardly attempting to mimic her movements as she swayed and hissed, her scales glistening with swamp water. It was a display of Argonian customs that grated on my divine sensibilities.

As the night wore on, and the swamp's stench permeated my very being, I could bear it no longer. I declared our date concluded and returned to the sanctum of Red Mountain, leaving Sul-Matuul behind.

And thus, Nerevar, that was my first and only encounter with an Argonian in matters of the heart. What a grand and intoxicating misadventure it was, one that reinforced my disdain for their traditions and way of life.

Argonians are too woke to be allowed to take part in our political system

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago

ugh, i had to watch 4 minutes of that moron spouting garbage just for him to say "lizard people" once in passing. these people can't even do crazy conspiracy theories right

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, the term is being used fairly colloquially here, it's not really a rant "on lizard people."

My favorite part of the video is how he says the three banks that went bust and didn't get bailed out because of their heavy stakes with Bitcoin companies, but conveniently glosses over why banks that heavily tied their assets to cryptocurrencies ended up going bust in the first place.

Typical Sinclair media crap trying to scare old people into buying gold and 365 day packs of rations from their advertisers.

The amount of grifting that's gravitated to pre-qualified marks on the hard right is astonishing. "Here's a free pocket knife from China with FREEDOM engraved on it (and an automatic subscription to "Getting the government out of your wallet magazine" for the low price of only $79.99/mo billed annually)."

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"the real reason Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank didn’t get bailed out by the government earlier this year was because they supported decentralized cryptocurrency, which the government can’t control."

The banks didn't get bailed out but everyone was made whole. A rare case where the corporation got the death penalty but customers didn't see "socialize the failure and privatize the profits." This is a situation where the conservative is upset that the company wasn't propped up by socialism.

[–] Rice_Daddy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's the narrative that's important here. Whatever happened would've been broadcasted as evil.

[–] TheAgeOfSuperboredom@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago

WTF! Blockchain! Yup, the totally safe and anonymous and intracable bitcoin.

Also Newsmax viewers dislike the Patriot Act? Put in by George W. Bush? The one where if you were opposed then you're a commie terrorist?

I love how some truths always get intertwined with crazy.

Cbdc is a real thing the major banks are doing and we should be concerned but its not lizard people.

Lemee just...lick my eyeballs real quick.

America's like a dying animal that NEEDS to be put down.

There's going to be a very bloody "civil war" here. And it's going to be heartbreakingly pointless and sad...

[–] ThePac@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Delusion. There will be escalations of domestic terrorism, but a full-fledged "civil war" is, again, delusion.

[–] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not with that spirit! Keep it up and nothing will get done!

You don't need to take them out pre-emtively but you always need to know you can take them out if you want/need to.

[–] Heikki@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Me, trying to figure out how to talk to my conservative family members: Google, how do I casually talk about lizard people?
