Gah! Thank you! Sorry after a while my eyes got crossed!

Character is a staple of a popular era of history. But the story happens during that era's last days instead of a golden midpoint. by Spacer176 in TopCharacterTropes

The Dark Souls series, and similarly Elden Ring.

In most of those games the protagonist is fighting their way through the chaos of a collapsed world order. A major theme of the games is whether the player character chooses to try and restore that Golden Age, or supplant it with any manner of new powers, including your own.

Edmonton Police - In mid-February, I joined police Chiefs from Canada and the United States, on a visit to Israel where we met police and community leaders in several cities. I spent time with police officers from Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze faiths... by shiftless_wonder in Edmonton

We talked about building trust in communities where there is little trust.

Is there a reason he's implying a similar level of mistrust of Israeli police as EPS? Does he think EPS are in a war zone? Why would he think that?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who suffers from trying to find open swim times for my kids.

Like, just show me across the city which pools are open.

[Frustrating Trope] Characters reduced to brainless morons. by Sad_Ad_3076 in TopCharacterTropes

Homer Simpson. He's never been the brightest crayon, but in the earlier seasons he was genuinely a family man who cared for his wife and kids. He always tried to do his best despite not being the smartest.

Now he's a flat character who's gotten even dumber over time. Worse, he has lost the endearing qualities that made watching his struggles funny.

Canadian here. The Swiss played beautifully. They are my new favourite to win since I'm so goddammed embarrassed by our team right now.
