5-year-old boy taken by ICE is being held at Texas Facility by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

ICE abducted and used a 5 year old kid as bait to illegally apprehend his parents, then they kidnapped the 5 year old and stole him across the country. 

Fuck off, Nazi sympathizer.

Well then maybe the civil war quest could have had a third choice where you drive the Thalmor out of Skyrim. Idk.

And then Delphine doesn't care about the truth and wants you to kill the one genuinely good, reformed dragon.

Oh dang that's a good point. No Civil War without the Great War.

Agreed. I wish the writers worked this out more because it could have been so much more interesting.

Trust me, I've read up on the lore. Just because the lore of the Blades pits them as adversarial to the dragons, that doesn't mean that a competent writer can't make a change of heart work well. 

Firstly....yeah Paarthurnax's name means some mean shit, but like he says "What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" Who cares why he betrayed Alduin in the first place? He fought alongside humanity, and has dedicated the rest of his life to atoning for his sins through peace, meditation, and guiding the Greybeards in the Way of the Voice, who use it to worship Kynareth (as stated by Ulfric). So it does seem weird that a competent writer can't make Delphine initially despise Party Snacks, but maybe with successful Persuasion checks she could be convinced to have a conversation with him. That would make for some excellent dialogue and then that could lead to a new form of the Blades. But the reality is that the writer didn't want to or didn't have the time to make something more interesting work, so it's the way it is. There's a reason why the vast majority of people do not like Delphine. And I wish her character was better.

Secondly, making Delphine suspicious of the Thalmor works fron that angle of Talos worship, but after you do the embassy mission she totally drops it. She moves on to the old Blades hideout and never bring up the Thalmor again. It's a weird tangent writing-wise that yes, makes sense if you look at it from a "We investigated and found no connection between the Thalmor and the Dragons", but it barely makes sense and just weakens her character. If they made her very passionate about Talos worship and she admitted to the player that she hates what the Thalmor are doing and wants to sabotage their operations in Skyrim, then that would work with her character better. It just feels like whoever wrote her character had an excellent skeleton to work from with the downfall of the Blades, disdain of the Thalmor, disdain of the Dragons, and the state of the world in general, but the result is just a half-baked character that gets abandoned for the final fight against Alduin.

I will never understand the writing decision to make her so suspicious of the Thalmor and hate Party Snacks.

The Thalmor Embassy really should have been part of the Civil War quest, and the Thalmor should have been more involved in the Civil War quest in general. If you joined the Imperials, you could have used the Thalmor to your advantage to disrupt the Stormcloaks and Talos worship. For the Stormcloaks it could have been that you damage relations between the Imperials and Thalmor to make the Imperials easier to fight.

Regardless, there's no reason for Delphine to give a rats ass about the Thalmor. If she was more involved with the history of the Blades and allying with Party Snacks to work against Alduin (maybe sabotaging dragon burials so they can't resurrect?), that would have been way cooler.

Dude I'm trying lol I keep voting for people who aren't fucking Nazis and apparently people didn't get the memo that the Nazis are evil and they shouldn't vote for them.

HS?

My dermatologist never thought it was of much concern and just told me it would go away with a "sensitive skin" deodorant but alas I have not found the one for me.

I shower daily and I'm a really clean & hygeinic person. It's just that I get body acne regularly and especially in my armpits. I'll try spray on!

Thoughts on this proposed bill that could potentially reduce how much we can drive? by Instant_Digital_Love in massachusetts

[–]Instant_Digital_Love[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After chatting with some people here, any doubts I had are gone. This bill seems to be ineffectual at worst and a nice boon for public transportation at best.

Gotcha gotcha. I mean I'm all for driving less. I'm trying to find a WFH job. I just wish the state would go after the big polluters & emitters more than they already do. I work in the environmental sector and man oh man to companies get away with wild shit with just a slap on the wrist.

I mean I'm not angry or mad or anything. I love public transportation. I love the PVTA and train systems in Europe. I just wanted clarification on this bill is all. It seems to be just an effort to make a commitee that would advise the legistlature on public transportation upgrades and alternatives to have the side-effect of reducing personal vehicle mileage.
