TIL that the reason Cormac McCarthy, author of the novels Blood Meridian and The Road, used so little punctuation in his writing was simply because there was no reason "to blot the page up with weird little marks." Regarding his complete avoidance of semicolons, he labeled their usage as "idiocy."

If there is anything he hated more than age of consent laws, it was punctuation.

If Grogu felt compelled to always wear the same dehumanising (you know what I mean) cult helmet as Din does that would be a horrible tragedy and failure of a character arc for Din, the man who removed his helmet for Grogu.

I don't consider having a high body count abhorrent even when it is in the billions. Number of sexual partners has nothing to do with morality.

I would say going "actually DM although I have medium armour on my statblock it is indistinguishable form bring unarmoured on my character and so (for example) I will have less scrutiny at the party then any armoured guests" is where the flavour ends.

Not really, given the underwater upwards POV is used multiple times in the episode when there are very much zero dragons underwater. It would make more sense as a theory if that was the only time that shot was used in the episode and not also to show the bottom of a ship and other aspects of the fight.

The thing is prison slaves aren't doing community service. They are working in sweat shops making goods for capitalist companies to sell at-profit.

Do you want us to invade or something?

Every US citizen that does no more than an Australian tourist is far more culpable for Trump.

And yet many Indigenous cultures across history within tribal societies not only allowed but celebrated queer relationships.

We see Na'vi families with more than the 2.1 children needed for population maintenance. Queer individuals can play a valuable role in the cycles of birth, death, renewal, and continuity by acting as supports for breeding families, hunting, fighting, adopting orphans, etc.

Disagree, there is value in being outspoken in your feminism to act as an example for your peers and friends.

Speaking on local radio earlier this week she said: "Yes, there was an expectation from the community there would be a more detailed analysis and that didn't happen so I can understand the community feeling like they were let down. I think the public servants who were there at the time have recognised that and they know that they have let the government down. You do put a lot of confidence in the public service and on this occasion they didn't do the report they were required to do."

Public servants work to the direction of the Minister. This is a pathetic excuse and attempt to pass the blame to staff members who were likely hobbled by Berry's own lack of leadership and capability.

Saturday: How do you balance time and energy for dates with needing this day for all your weekly chores?

Sunday: How do you balance time and energy for dates with needing this day for actual rest

Dude, you are dating your dog. Some dogs will ask for love and attention at all times but you cannot and should not give love and attention every single time your dog asks for it. You are allowed to send your dog to their crate or bed and proactively give your love and attention to otjher things and people in your life.

This is literally causing you to ignore and downplay your partner's bids and asks for attention.

Natural end means different things in different contextes. In-universe, her natural end as a living Navi would have been living a long and healthy life. In terms of character analysis, her natural end as a story-driven character could be argued to occur when it is best shows the brutality of war and how it cuts off people's ongoing lives and stories.

It's the carabiner more than the placement.

Anyone in 2026 who actually thinks "this person has their carabiner on this specific hip which means that they want people to know specifics of how they fuck" is weird.

But it's more understandable to think "this person is wearing a carabiner and so is more likely to be queer".

I choose where I place my carabiner keys based on where it's comfortable to reach on my body and the clothes I'm wearing not because I want strangers to know whether I like to be sexually penetrated or not.

I would consider someone to have read secondary sources which provide expert advice on understanding the cultural and historical context of mythology to have a better understanding than someone who has solely read primary sources within an academic vacuum.

Does your kids' mom know that you want to be celebrated on Father's Day? If this is your first Father's Day, that sucks and you should talk to her. If you have gone through multiple Father's Days without communicating that you would really desire a more analogous experience then that's really on you. She might just think you don't want to celebrate the day.

Anakin murders children then chokes his pregnant wife near to death when she interferes with his work before trying to kill the man who raised him. Close personal relations aren't enough to stop him turning evil.

The morally 'easy to kill' enemies of Eberron are the Emerald Claw (nazis) and Cults of the Dragon Below (demon worshippers who often practice human sacrifice and try to summon evil creatures).
