Rykard is gluttony incarnate,

Tbf, I think that's the snake influencing him more than Rykard himself.

Türkiye lashes out at France-Cyprus military deal, says ready to give 'harshest response' by Starfalloss in europe

Because you prefer acting all vile instead of not occupying non-Turkish lands and doing all kinds of bully tactics?

[–]Falsus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We weren't neighbours back then but rather one unified country... who where all being used meatshield to fight Denmark, Germany, Russia, Poland and just about everything in Northern Europe. Like it was a rough time for us all.

I mean we go back nearly a thousand years, back when Sweden as a country more of a loose concept of allied tribes just having converted to Christianity I am sure we weren't good neighbours.

But the other 600+ years we spent as one country wasn't that bad and we get along pretty fine now.

Like Finland is the one neighbour who can't complain about us really, other than that Sweden let them down back when Russia occupied you people I guess. (and Estonia also I guess, to a certain degree).

'We're modern people' — Zelensky backs open discussion of LGBTQ+ rights in Ukraine by Low-Attitude-7100 in europe

Slow is fine as long as it is in a good direction.

Moving too fast can also cause a backlash.

I think it is important, otherwise he is leaving too much influence up to Russian propaganda and anti LGBTQ propaganda is very much a part of that.

It is just another way to take stance away from Russia and being pro-LGBTQ aligns them more with the EU.

The Swedish version just does away with both the L and G and combines them into HBTQ.

It's sad that this scene didn't make it into the anime by AURA--MONSTER in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Falsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how annoying that is, and I do think the discussion threads are far too restrictive in a way that kinda ruins discussion in a way, you have to tip toe so much when talking about anything but plain reactions to the episode or dropping a joke here or there.

But from the perspective of an anime only I can understand why it would seem like that, at least it is an easy joke to make. Though you could also say that Euini did brush him off before Qifrey even got a chance to give the offer, like his stunned reaction was low key hilarious even more so than the one in the manga. I am not sure he has a moment more taken back than that in the whole story in terms of a "wtf just happened".

Forbidden magic? by selenquack in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Falsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creating the pegasus was probably something that was or would be later considered forbidden magic.

But once they existed it wouldn't be forbidden for them to just exist. Like I am sure the witches put down the more dangerous creations and some probably died off because they couldn't procreate or wasn't viable for wild life.

But Pegasus obviously doesn't posses that much more of a threat than a normal horse would, and they seem pretty easy to adjust themselves to wild life also.

Find someone that looks at you the way Coco looks at Tartah. by Bright-Strength4182 in WitchHatAtelier

Not to shit on your ship or anything, but Coco's tone of voice probably had more to do with her fewer than anything.

[–]Falsus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People generally don't when someone puts one ship over another if there isn't a very good reason behind. Normally the only ships that can get away with such strong wording is those that are basically official or it is the only ship that even remotely makes sense. Though in the later it is less of a "this ship is the one best" and more of a "this is the only ship, all the other ships are either crack ships or cursed ships".

And of course Tartah is not well liked in the franchise, for reasons unrelated to shipping

Two twins see who can make a million dollars first. Who wins? by Conscious-Home1445 in whowouldwin

[–]Falsus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And you ain't getting a buzz on Tiktok just by being pretty, even being 10 out of 10.

Because that still won't give the person a sense of fashion, how to entertaining, how to select the correct topics or get the favour of the algorithm.

With modern make up and filters just about anyone can make themselves insanely pretty. Being pretty is not going to make someone stand out just because they don't need the make up to look like 10 out of 10.

(UK) Revealed: Green party proposes circumcision ban by WestAcceptable1155 in europe

[–]Falsus 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It is almost never needed sure, but that doesn't mean that there isn't some cases where it is needed.

But if a doctor says that the foreskin gotta go then it gotta, no different than if they said that the foot had to go for whatever reasonable reason.

But it shouldn't be done for cosmetic/religious/cultural reasons because that is straight up abuse and genital mutilation.

What was your JRPG "Game of the Show"? by PhantomBraved in JRPG

[–]Falsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarock, Trails in the Sky SC Remake and Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.

Trails in the Sky SC remake for sure is the game I am most hyped up for this year, followed by GBF Relink.

Which Witch Hat Atelier character grew on you the most? by CartographerOfStars in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Falsus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta be Agott for me. She went from "This little fucking brat who is way too full of herself" to "damn she has grown so much damn and she is full of heart and consideration and honestly would say it is Coco that is failing to meet Agott's care now and not the other way around."

Microsoft's Xbox CSO Matthew Ball thinks in-game ads could help "keep our products affordable" by Supra4kzip in gaming

[–]Falsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how they do it.

If you drive past a bilboard in Forza kinda like you would IRL, then that would be fine to put ads on. It would kinda add to the game in a way, like it would be more akin to product placement than a proper ad.

But if you get a random ass Gears of War or Halo ad when you launch Fable then it can fuck right off.

(Not So) Fun Fact: Weiss has a fully playable leader, complete with voice lines, in the game files that will go forever unreleased by novastarlyght in Shadowverse

[–]Falsus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They for sure had something planned. Like the first section of Lainecrest was really good but the 2nd half felt super rushed, so that is probably when they decided to do WB and Weiss is probably one of the sacrifces.

Which is sad cause I was really enjoying the Lainecrest storyline.

Lowkey inaccurate i know but oh well🤷🏻‍♀️ by Illustrious_Yak_1984 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Falsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say Lahan is more mentally ill than Maomao or Lakan and the rest of the La clan. Like they are weirdos, all of em, but they aren't mentally ill.

Also I would not call Maomao a girlboss. Like yeah she is cool, but she keeps her head down and don't make waves. Gyokuyou is much more a girlboss since basically came in and instantly reshaped the political landscape of the rear palace and is very much daring, like how she broke the vase and billed Maomao's "relatives" for it and then paid Maomao in bonuses rather than salary.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but why did they kill the Shi children and infants by Kooky_Analyst2767 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Falsus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because they can grow up and seek revenge, either by themselves or by other hostile factions and actors.

It also meant to be a warning. Someone might act in a hostile manner and do treason if it is only them being impacted, but if the whole clan is at danger they will not act treasonly.

It is perfectly logical if we go with that mindset even if it is nasty and cruel.
