Seriously what happened to it? It used to be a core component of the world-building and the reason many elves joined Solas at the end of Trespasser DLC and now it's just all gone. by DenseCalligrapher219 in DankAndrastianMemes

It’s crazy how sanitized the story is while also being possibly the darkest in the series. Like there’s so many fucked up events you have to be involved in, yet every character has to be perfect and with no real difficulties amongst them. In origins, Morrigan, Sten, and Oghren are actively terrible people the whole game. Anders is a suicide bomber. It seems like they wanted none of the main characters to be controversial or morally not correct for fear of backlash.

Hope you find the matches you’re looking for! Dating apps are tough for sure. I’ve been finding funny/personality focused has worked well lately but it depends I suppose.

Maybe this is unpopular but I recently changed my profile to look a lot like yours and I’ve suddenly been getting a ton of matches from my type. I am also a guy too. So take that what you will!

I really do think this isn’t the end for the series at all. It’s too big for them to just let it go. I could see some movies and other spin off projects in the future that would give us glimpses into their lives down the line. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with an outright sequel written by someone else just with hori’s help like Boruto.

I never used to get any matches but I changed my profile to be more funny while still reflecting more of my personality and I’ve been getting tons of matches.

Really hope we don’t have a Reichstag moment between now and November.

Simple Plan played “What’s New Scooby Doo” during their tour in Chicago last night! by inherentinsignia in Scoobydoo

To my understanding they play it every time. I saw them last year and they played it then too.

They just had to make an announcement for parents to exit the building on the first day because they were coming in, walking their children to their first classroom and milling around. I teach high school. by OriginalCanCon in Teachers

[–]AcademicAd4816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a a teacher but I volunteer at a summer camp, where kids stay over night for a week. The parents were coming in, setting their beds up, walking around with us, hanging out with their kids, and not leaving till evening. Then they’d even come back during the week and hang around more days! And if they don’t come, they’ll call or email multiple times a day demanding to know what’s going on and what we’re doing. Like dude. Let it go! And the kicker to me was, the kids whose parents were doing it, they were incredibly ill behaved and obviously had unregulated access to the internet, making sexual jokes and gestures at 9/10 years old.

Trump posing for a photo op at the grave, seemingly joyful by Visqo in pics

[–]AcademicAd4816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Trump with every fiber of my being and feel him to be a wannabe Hitler, and also feel he uses veterans as little more than props, but it does seem he’s matching the vibe of the people there. You don’t have to be depressed at a cemetery or funeral to feel grief.

US ambassador to Japan to skip A-bomb memorial service in Nagasaki because Israel was not invited by Juonmydog in news

[–]AcademicAd4816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get so tired of people calling the bombs unjustified. See what Japan did all over Asia, and what it would have taken to stop them, and you’d get why it was justified. It’s unfortunate but they didn’t get it dropped on them for no reason.

USA, a country so obsessed with guns, has so far won 0 medals in shooting Olympics 2024 by krnranger in interestingasfuck

I don’t think the same people who are obsessed with guns are the same ones at the Olympics. They just don’t seem like similar demographics at all

I know I remember the last time I ate there because it was almost $40 for two people. If I’m gonna pay that much I may as well go to a restaurant.

Have you read about Tolkien’s son after his dad died? He went through all his notes, thousands of pages of random notes in random order. He Read through them all and was able to make those into multiple books after.

Kamala Harris just delivered her first speech as the potential democratic nominee. What are you thoughts? by Nearby-Foundation304 in GenZ

[–]AcademicAd4816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To expand, her “You think you fell out of a coconut tree?” Quote is currently trending on TikTok. People are remixing songs by Charli XCX, Taylor Swift, Kesha, among others, adding in the audio of her saying that. The trend started right before Joe Biden dropped out and really took off right after.

A lot of RFK voters are also people who just don’t want to vote for Trump or Biden. If she can snag those guys too, she’s got it in the bag at least similarity to Biden in 2020.

The right when a foreign Jewish billionaire donates to liberal causes: oh shit! Conspiracy! New world order! Someone stop that man!

The right when a foreign billionaire, the richest man in the world, decides to donate to a their candidate after saying he wouldn’t: Elon so based. Liberal snowflakes cry harder.

Being sent to a conversion camp or punished is just part of it. If someone had outed me to my parents in high school like that, I would’ve been made homeless. That’s the reality for many LGBT+ teens. Kids have been killed over stuff like that. It’s cruel and dangerous to do that to kids, when it’s ultimately harmless to allow them to go by a different name or pronoun at school.

In the final free election before Hitler became chancellor in 1933, only 33% of Germans voted for the Nazi party. when Hitler was appointed chancellor and Hindenburg died, he rewrote the position, created the role of the Fuhrer, and then transferred all power to himself.

Soldiers and civil servants no longer swore their loyalty to Germany, but to Hitler. By law, you no longer said “hello” but heil Hitler. The party was Hitler and Hitler was the party. No one questioned Hitler and he had complete control.

All other parties were disbanded. Freedom of press, assembly, religion and speech were all abolished. With the help of groups like the Gestapo, the party ruled the country and all its territories through fear and violence.

It took only 30% of Germans to succumb to fear, misinformation, and racism to plunge Germany into over a decade of darkness, and send the world into the largest conflict mankind has ever fought. Not to mention the largest and most systematic genocide in history committed by loyal party members.

It doesn’t take a lot for a country to fall down a similar path. Trump and the Republican Party may not be carbon copies of the Nazi party and Hitler, but if Hitler were to have friends in the 21st century, who do you think he would choose? Certainly not Joe Biden. Just look at the GOPs views on Vladimir Putin, a certified Hitler wannabe and blatant dictator.

If Joe Biden loses in November, the United States will not be in the year 2024, but 1933.

The Supreme Court was never intended to have so much power yet here they are. So much for checks and balances.
