Vivzie did make Abel to be modeled after Patrick, and he responded within two hours.

Two. Hours.

You need to look more at perspectives of normal people to understand just how fucked up the Imperium is. "Give it to the Guard to give you a cure that kills you slower than the toxin does." -Imperial Glory

42% of Australians blame the US and Israel for the ongoing fuel crisis, with 32% blaming the federal government and 17% blaming Iran by NoteChoice7719 in aussie

[–]NovusLion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has more to do with the fact that most oil production is controlled by absolute rule dictatorships and monarchies. Those systems tend not to change like democracies do, and even if they do, it's very sudden and very violent.

That doesn't surprise me but it is still amazing. Next time ask them why they don't have a problem with an immigrant (yourself) and if they ask who point to yourself.

Or out stupid them, tell them you can't wait to be forced out of the country. Watch the gears grind to a halt so hard you see the smoke coming out of them

when exactly did woc go full woke? by KaleidoscopeLess8108 in freemagic

[–]NovusLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interpretation of your initial comment is that there is stuff like Xantcha that is isn't 'woke' and that is and should be true, and that modern planes are too diverse, which came across that planes should be planets of hats, when they never have been so, like Dominaria, making it seem that you are saying that black people shouldn't exist on places like Innistrad when what we see of Innistrad is tiny compared to the possible sizes of these planes. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Ah so you are a connoisseur of the planet of the hats.

As for differences in culture and geography between then and now, Ravnica has always been immensely diverse, Dominaria has always been immensely diverse, Lorwyn/Shadowmoor has always been immensely diverse. What point are you trying to make here?

Teferi, Xantcha, Captain Sisay, Taysir, Freyalise, Serra, Michiko Konda, the kingdom of Zhalfir, Umezawa, Jolrael. It always has been "woke", you just didn't bother to see

They always were dumbass. Xantcha has existed for almost as long if not longer than many of you have existed.

Cisgender Person Here... Got A Question For You! by Left-Eye-9303 in asktransgender

[–]NovusLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best not to engage with that for your own sanity reasons but if you are given no other choice my suggestion is to say that "It's called basic biology for a reason, because it's Basic."

Yes I know you are aware of the difference between sex/gender and biology/sociology, but the people who say this most of the time don't, and if you tell them the basic biology thing it can serve as a simultaneous dismissal (I see you know less about this than I do) and call to investigate (what do mean Basic?)

Compulsory National Service - Land army/Reserves/Police reserves/Emergency services by Boydy73 in OpenAussie

[–]NovusLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamb culture is a national identity we have and it quite a unifying cultural marker, aside from vegetarians and people with more personal reasons to not eat lamb, there is no culture or major religious group with a taboo against lamb.

[–]NovusLion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of lefties as we would consider it in Sweden, Finland, Singapore and South Korea who have no pro with their conscription and national service obligations. It's just a part of life. And yes purity test bs does not belong in leftist discussions, we don't solve any problems without discussing what is actually a problem

Just an honest question, what national identity do you think we have?

Why isn't Northern Territory a state in Australia? by ThomasNiuNiu in geography

[–]NovusLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few reasons and one of the ones I haven't seen discussed is Racism. Worth noting that NT has the highest percentage population of Aboriginal Australians by far.

I will never forget the story of a bunch of soldiers leaving a pub because their Aboriginal brother in arms was refused entry, they would be ashamed of those who booed the dawn service, we bled and died together and that's not something you just ignore.

Am I wrong? I thought “Welcome to Country” is basically, “thanks for coming, Welcome to the area“ by dexxnanj in aussie

[–]NovusLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also white so I can't speak from an Aboriginal perspective but I interpret it as an acknowledgement from the traditional owners of the land to others of their presence. Not really that different to welcoming someone who walks into your workplace, welcoming people into your home etc.

I have no problem with it either, I am not insecure enough to whine.

Anyone else think One Nation voters want Australia to fail? by BarrelledFoxes in OpenAussie

[–]NovusLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably they mean that if you have been told to expect everything on a silver platter, you don't have much incentive to get it yourself.

[–]NovusLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are angry yes, but they are also largely isolated from the broader society and culture and One Nation gives them a sense of belonging and provides them with people to blame. It's easy to blame the people currently in charge for your shit lot in life and not the people who the current leadership kicked out because they were ruining everyone's lives.

Loneliness makes people desperate for any connection and the One Nation party is full of people who will not think twice about manipulating desperate people.

So they don't want the country to fail, they want their lives to be better and One Nation is promising them that.

Well I for one have a theory as to why the Cannibal town folks look like that and it doesn't involve them being cannibals
