Nah, Phyrexians love Urza. Fucking with him is a national pastime! Just ask Mishr- oh wait.

I'll be dead and cold in the ground before I acknowledge the existence of Urza!

Embrace Hoxhaist thought and make every corridor a bunker.

The answer is that the eagles are theologically angels in LotR and both sapient and very susceptible to the Ring, and having a flying Sauron-replacement is not an improvement.

Parry this you fucking casual hst-gun

I made the mistake of checking out the thread from Lemmy itself instead of Hexbear.

I need a stiff drink now jesus-christ

There was a brief moment where Europe was colonizing the Americas but hadn't yet started up the slave trade and ensuing racial caste system, so yeah it was probably fine to be black in the Caribbean in like 1500 (or at least no worse than being a typical poor white person shipping off to the colonies at that point).

They preemptively defederated us before we federated the rest of Lemmy.

The founding of America was a little rough but it's amazing that they got as progressive as they did.

Counterpoint: Name a single year in the US' history where it was safe to be black.

To add to the list of non-chud reasons to dislike it, the plot is driven entirely by characters doing the dumbest thing possible at every turn on all sides for little to no reason.

Someone once pointed out the First Order could have ended the movie in the first ten minutes by having their dreadnaught just shoot the Resistance's capital ship instead of the planetary (read: entirely stationary) base first, or by having the dreadnaught's fighter screen/escort ships deployed instead of just chilling and doing nothing the entire fight.

We can only do terrible things permanently. Good things are always temporary and we are powerless to change that. Children have to starve because otherwise politicians might have to actually do some work for a change. This is a very good and serious political system and we should just accept it as it is and ignore any alternative.
