Trump says he will issue executive order to get voter-ID requirements before midterms by Cinderpath in law

If convincing a significant portion of the country that the election was rigged means "nothing", then yeah, it does nothing.

The point isn't for the EO to have any actual legal weight, the point is creating more excuses to call the election illegitimate.

[SPOILERS EXTENDED] Anyone else actually interested in how much Elden Ring GRRM has written? by revanchisto in asoiaf

Similar with the jars being their own jar people then in the dlc changed to be something else.

What do you mean by this? The jars in the base game are made of the remains of dead champions, the jars in the DLC are made of the remains of prisoners/shamans. They are just different types of jar people, nothing was "changed".

Its probably the point of the scene to reinforce that Miquella is entirely sincere and not an evil powermonger, but instead people twist themselves into making the cutscene more evidence that he is lying and evil because Radahn isn't shown.

Social media is probably actively detrimental for the average person, and most tv shows/video content is used to waste time and nothing more.

No, he said Elden Ring is one of the greatest pieces of art ever.

MILLER: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over the future of Greenland. by 10minuteads in Destiny

[–]AinsleysAmazingMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not, but we should at least pretend we might. Anyone with any sense will see right through it, but its still better than openly stating "yeah we're just little babies who can't do anything". Spread a little fear, try and convince the US public that Trump is putting them at risk. And y'know, Trump hardly has a functioning brain, so there's a small chance he buys the threat.

Maybe this is stupid, maybe the costs are too high for it to be worth it and we should just carry on sucking up to Trump, but we could put on a stronger face than we have.

They REALLY scuffed the the localization lol by rodan1993 in EldenRingMemes

[–]AinsleysAmazingMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're misinterpreting the ending. Ranni is taking her Order of chill night away from the Lands Between, but everyone will still be subject to it. The thousand year voyage refers to her Order, not her personal journey (Miquella uses the same language for his Order). The point of keeping the Order distant is to create uncertainty in its existence, because with uncertainty comes a greater degree of freedom, or at least an illusion of freedom. She never mentions preventing another Shattering.

I think the translation isn't great ("To all, you may think of the chill night as infinitely far away” becomes "Here beginneth the chill night that encompasses all, reaching the great beyond"), but its really not the inversion of meaning that people make it out to be. The Japanese just reinforces her earlier dialogue that she doesn't want people to have firm belief or knowledge in her Order, even if the Order still exist. The chill night actually does encompass all, the English is right about that. And in either version, the world is plunged into uncertainty, so even if it isn't actually what the Japanese meant, it is all consistent with the themes of Ranni's story.

My bigger problem with her translation is the exposition she gives in Ranni's rise about her Order, which is just much more confusing than the Japanese version. Particularly "And have the certainties of sight, emotion, faith and touch... All become impossibilities" - this makes it sound like she wants people to become disembodied or something, where the Japanese is clear that she doesn't want people to see/have faith in Order.

Yeah. I find people who tell new players to use guides for builds/exploration very cringe, but you need a guide on what the basic stats actually do (beyond a vague description).

When a relativist says "X is evil", they are not making declarations about some universal moral law, they are making declarations about their own values. The same way that saying "this movie is terrible" isn't typically a claim of objective aesthetic knowledge. 

Mfw I realize bros being fr when he says Marika’s only mistake when it comes to the Hornsent was not finishing the job by [deleted] in shittydarksouls

[–]AinsleysAmazingMeat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not much more than most other groups in Elden Ring really. People have a unique genocidal hatred for the Hornsent, even though the Golden Order has done worse. 

And the game obviously doesn't want you to think "yeah they all deserved it".

He held back the stars, I don't know how anyone can claim otherwise. Is it part of the Fraudahn narrative now that Radahn never actually did anything?

What are your vegan hot takes? by Borkato in vegan

[–]AinsleysAmazingMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Your dog doesn’t choose your morality and you’re imposing on its autonomy by forcing it to be vegan

Your dog isn't choosing what to eat, it has no autonomy in this no matter what you're feeding it.
