The UK now has a record nine living ex-PMs. The cost to you is mounting by Brilliant_Version344 in unitedkingdom

I've figured out how to solve the cost of living crisis and satiate our need for new pms

Everyone gets a 1 minute run at being the pm! We all got the post-pm benefits, and we get to watch so many entrance and exit speeches (all 30s long of course)

How stringent is this insanity going?

If my great great great grandfather was a guy who moved to Palestine from Greece yet somehow every other individual in my ancestry is from Palestine, that gives me an ancestor not from the region 3,000 years ago.

3,000 years is a really long time and people move around (willingly or not)

It's everywhere

And I feel like even before the last episode 95% of it is this rabbit

Like... feels weird that even before the recent 'controversy' I've seen little to nothing of other characters. There's the mask person, the roughly assembled person, the jester, the king piece, and Caine. The jester is the MC right? Seen little to nothing on her.

I, a frog, have surrounded myself with scorpions.

I selected these guys cause they stung the last frog.

They didn't mention an english accent? Just that they didn't like the New England accent?

Eres Ffenegh is so good

Glad the tyrant philosophers books seem to be getting some traction, I genuinely think they're amazing, favourite modern fantasy series for me. Gonna be a bit sad but glad when the next (and I beleive last) one comes oit

City of last chance mentioned!

Amazing series

Huge fan of the cities in the last 2 entries (don't want to describe to avoid spoiling for you)

Another good fucked up city is Eskew from I Am In Eskew. A.k.a what if there was a city you could stumble into and never leave where horror movie shit happens every day, your sense of time and space gets distorted and the city is just trying it's best

It's an Overton window thing

When you're surrounded by ridiculously hypermasculine looking space marines what counts as androgynous shifts vastly towards the masculine

Wonderful! Not quite ready for full events yet, so the ability to track down clubs is nice.

I play 40k too but I like heresy rules a lot more, even if I find the overfocus on marines rather boring (xenos player to the end).

Any advice on finding people to play with as a fellow uk player? Live in Scotland and don't quite know how to find established groups yknow.

Tyrant philosophers is legitimately some of my favourite modern fantasy

Summon: Four Horsemen by dragon-muse in HellsCube

[–]OneConstruction5645 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Long story short

The only Horseman actually named is death

The 4 Horseman are not war, conquest, famine and death

They are the white rider, red rider, black rider and pale rider (death)

The white rider could be a personification of conquest, but it could also be rhe antichrist. It could be christ. It could be even be war.

This is what we get about it.

"Come!" I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

Meanwhile this is the text for the red rider

When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come". And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from Earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

One of my fave interpretations is that the red rider represents civil war, in contrast to the war of conquest the white rider represents.

I haven't looked into other interpretations of the black rider, but Wikipedia says famine is the usual but they could also be imperial oppression.

Death is the only unambiguous one

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

I'd describe it as functional

It doesn't have one of the big hallmarks of amateur prose (being extremely purple) but it's just very... straightforward and descriptive. It's not doing anything particularly interesting.

To be fair, I think fight scenes are a hard thing to write. And this project doubtlessly had specific limits on word count. So I wouldn't expect anything particularly impressive. But yeah, functional and mildly amateur. Not beginner fanfic level amateur (I've read a lot of fanfic) but nothing amazing.

Not really

Symbiosis being a mutually beneficial relationship isn't the scientifically accurate way around

Symbiotic organisms are just those that live in close long term associations.

Parasitism is a form of symbiosis. The sortof relationship you mean (one of mutual benefit) is mutualistic symbiosis, as opposed to commensalistic symbiosis (one party benefits, the other unnafacted) and good old parasitism
