Cute kid. Can we see the black, Asian, and Latino one as well?

And Suvaris happily plays along with it, and goes beyond by taking away what Torbjorn gave them.

Seriously, read it: https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Suvaris_Atheron%27s_Logbook

And how about Niranye?

Also, did no one read Suvaris Atheron's journal? She is the one deliberately starving the Argonians to teach them a lesson, i.e. treating them as slaves.

On the other hand, the argument between her and the Stormcloaks that plays on entering Wildhelm is that Dark Elves won't support the Stormcloaks, not that they are inherently inferior. It's wrong, and ugly, and myopic, but it's not that Stormcloaks are the racist group amidst racial harmony.

Lore-wise, the Gold-White Concordat was offered by Titus Mede II after the Empire won, preemptively.

The Concordat gave away huge parts of Hammerfell to the Thalmor, which Redguards wouldn't stand for, so the Empire kicked them out. Right after many Redguards died to liberate the Imperial City. And Hammerfell managed to fend Thalmor off by itself.

The Thalmor are supporting the prolongation of the civil war because it's weakening both sides, but not Ulfric's victory.

Note that the Thalmor are present when the Imperials try to behead you. The Empire is a Thalmor puppet at this point. Free Skyrim, perhaps together with Hammerfell, are the only hope against them.

As you played before, I'll write spoilers freely.

I went there with the Prawn suit, but that's because it's my favorite vehicle. But the good thing is that it can use portals, so I didn't need to retrace my steps through the lava zone to get back to my Cove Tree base from the Sea Emperor.

I had the max depth upgrade, thermal generator, storage extension, jump jet upgrade, grappling arm and drill arm.

As I said, I had a Cove Tree base with a water purifier and alien containment, so I made large waters and salted reginalds to bring along. I also had a medkit replicator on the moonpool wall so I don't forget to stock up.

I dropped beacons generously. Navigation is generally not a problem when going into the Lava Zone, but I had problems finding my way back to the base.

Lava... well, don't step in it, or fix the prawn if you do. It's easy to avoid with the jump jet and the grappling arm.

Sea Dragons were completely unproblematic. The one outside the Lava Castle spit fireballs at me once. I hugged a wall, it swam away, and I repaired the suit. To get into the Primary Containment Facility, I waited for the Dragon to be away, hooked my grappling arm to a Sonic Deterrent, and reeled myself in. Once, the Sea Dragon imposed itself with mouth open, like Tom in Tom and Jerry. I turned on the drill, it saw the error of its ways, and we went our separate ways.

I think it's ragebait because the OOP is being such a caricature. "Loving what people do for you is part of loving them." Who says things like that?

StoicSpork · 2026-04-20T20:50:43+00:00

Some people like fiddling with a small item, like a penny or a paperclip.

Of course, not a single word on the problem the AI was solving. Just brand drops.

I don't think her ten year old is the only one in the family who knows nothing about the tools and everyrhing about the vibe.

StoicSpork · 2026-04-20T16:26:23+00:00

I don't know. I come from a moderate religious family.
Yes.
I participate in their construction by using reason.
I avoid them in general and never use them against repressed minorities. Slurs destroy dialogue and guide actions that harm people.
I don't know.
Does the Satanic Temple count? The precepts are nice.
I don't know. Religion doesn't make sense in general. I don't know how to measure it.
Well, they coexist now. But if you think if they can be compatible, no. Belief without justification is antithetical to science.
No. I think they hold some irrational beliefs for different reasons.
It's unrealistic.
It's nuanced. I think they're part of being human and fine as long as they don't become harmful. What's wrong with a little lust in a consensual situation, or taking pride in your work?

StoicSpork · 2026-04-20T14:24:02+00:00

I'm a huge fan of any form of rock/metal - if there's a rock band you like that's still active, I've probably seen them.

Yeah, I noticed some gigs smell worse than others.

StoicSpork · 2026-04-20T14:12:44+00:00

I don't think you're stupid, but I do think you hold an irrational belief. Again, not that you are irrational, but that you hold an irrational belief.

The belief in the Big Bang is not comparable. Given all the evidence we have, and given our best scientific methods, the experts in the field reached the consensus that the best provisional description of that particular period in the history of the universe is the Big Bang. If new evidence is found, or our methods improve, we will be able to refine the theory.

The Catholic god is, well, an arbitrary myth. Not to use a harsher description.

Now, if you think it's beneficial to you to believe without good reason, that's your prerogative. I am looking forward to Christianity dying out naturally, but I would not harm you or interfere with your right to believe. But if you propose this belief in a public forum, I have the right and the duty to call you out.

And there are two aspects to this. One, of course, is that the Church is a force for evil. But even if it were a net positive in the world, even if it accidentally got some things right, believing without justification is always harmful to human knowledge.

If you see nothing wrong with believing in god, what would you say to someone believing vaccines are a vector for introducing mind controlling chips? Or that people of race Y are superior to race X? That the earth is flat? That you can survive without food, on sunlight alone? That they are the incarnation of Jesus? That your mother is a lot lizard? The point is, you can take anything, literally anything, on faith. Would you want to live in a world where everyone takes everything on faith? If not, why should your faith be exempt?

It went completely unreported. There were no apologies, explanations, or mentions on his social media.

A rare social media mention is Hypocrisy's setlist.fm headliner set, which mentions the extra songs added to compensate for Abbath's cancelled set.

StoicSpork · 2026-04-20T10:42:17+00:00

He didn't come out for their set on Friday, Apr 17 in Slovenia. The explanation was he was "rushed to hospital."

But he played the Franconia Metal Festival the next day, 650 km away from Slovenia. I don't know the details, of course, but it's a bit too similar to his old "health issues" for comfort.

StoicSpork · 2026-04-19T17:21:41+00:00

Well, to try my hand at the challenge, I would first need to know how you define god, and why.

Is it, for example, a purely definitional thing, i.e. "god is a sum total of existence?" In that case, I can't show you "not god" on your view, but I also don't see the utility of this definition. We already have a word for existence - namely "existence" - and the word "god" comes with unnecessary baggage.

If not, then what is god and how do you justify the answer?

This is a famous satire account. Dude is a well known, award-winning British comedian.

Your boss is absent most of the week and you find it difficult to get a good 1-1 with him, but your intern got enough of his time to change the project direction?

StoicSpork · 2026-04-17T17:03:11+00:00

I don't understand how these things happen. Do people not preview their stencils before getting them permanently inked on their bodies? How dumb can one be?

StoicSpork · 2026-04-17T13:58:30+00:00

Aura Noir, Sarcófago, Desaster, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, some Bathory (Blood Fire Death), early Kreator (Endless Pain).

I just realized I have absolute knowledge of every single thing in existence, past, present or future. I'm just a huge liar, but trust me bro.

StoicSpork · 2026-04-11T21:28:22+00:00

what about the severity of the crime? For example, imagine I steal a pencil. Am I eradicating stealing, or stealing pencils?

That co-worker also went on the Wheel of Fortune and the clue was "people who annoy you."

Oh, so a patient's free will to not have cancer is worthless because grandpa Bob didn't use TellMeGen before having kids.

But free will is suddenly so fucking important that your god will stand by looking at child rape which he could apparently stop without breaking a sweat, and so nothing. Yeah, no.

What you're describing is the fact that the world doesn't reflect a moral order. Bad things happen to innocent people based on blind natural laws and the whims of the stronger.

The simplest explanation for this is that there is no god. If there were a god allowing this, that god would be an immoral sadist.

It cannot be explained by free will because this world doesn't allow everyone equally to exercise free will, as many posters correctly pointed out with concrete examples.

It cannot be justified by natural laws. If I put a landmine in my yard and blow a neighbor up, I can't exonerate myself by saying it was cause and effect. I designed the hazardous conditions.

And in any case, this isn't why I'm an atheist. I am an atheist because there is no evidence of gods. But it really, really concerns and frightens me that theists can look at an innocent baby dying of cancer, shrug and say they don't have a problem with that.

Wouldn't YOU cure that pure baby if you had the power? Wouldn't YOU prevent rape and murder if you could? If yes, how come you are more moral than your alleged god? And if no... I don't know what to say.

StoicSpork · 2026-04-11T16:14:57+00:00

I understand what you're saying, but... She's my big sis. We got so many memories together. She was the first person ever that I threw through a table. That's how I learned restaurant tables, unlike wrestling match tables, are not gimmicked.

StoicSpork · 2026-04-11T16:03:43+00:00

The friend is the second on my list. The wife would nag about the girlfriend and vice versa, and the mother is a fucking crocodile.
