Yep but people need to recognize the western empire still lasted another two centuries, just on the track of perpetual decline. The institutional inertia of an empire like the United States is massive. There’s no reason to expect a sudden collapse rather than a long running decline of power (save for the heightened stakes that nuclear weapons add)

Wild to me that starfield reuses aliens across planets. Especially insane that they’re treated as different species with different biologies and behaviors. Like, sure have some lore that this alien is like wild hogs in the americas where they were transported on ships and gone feral. But no instead there’s just this alien on three different planets at three different sizes, herding on one of them, and one is carnivorous. Just lazy
Reminds me of the ending of dragon age 2 when it’s revealed that the oppressed magic user minority was actually doing blood magic all along and the fash stand-in templars were right. Like imagine a retelling of kristallnacht where the Jews started shapeshifting and stealing children
Arguing with a dude on reddit about MMA and this motherfucker is pretty much just responding with “nuh uh, my guy is just better” and acting smug about it and it’s driving me crazy. This is my punishment for posting on that site at all. I should know better
Bit idea: one of those awful you-can’t-say-anything-anymore stand up specials but the comic is being cancelled for their self-deprecating humor and the special is titled “If you can’t make fun of yourself…” with him smirking smugly on the cover
The police responding to an active school shooter by bombing the school and then the hospital and orphanage next to it too for good measure
In my wife’s words “hoes don’t get cold”
He will if the Dems want to win but they don’t so he won’t
Straight people? Gooning is a thing in the gay male community
Watching US press briefings about the Israel situation and it’s so cool that we currently have a Dem in office for this atrocity so we get to actually live out the “more 👏 gay 👏 war criminals” memes. Finally some queer representation in the genocide department 😩
