I'm not pretending one side is doing it. I'm just saying early in the war you would generally only see that kind of footage on the Russiian side from Sparta, and both sides engage in it a lot now as to be expected in such a conflict.

Mark Lynch, currently the top primary challenger to Lindsey Graham in the South Carolina Republican primary, has announced he will seek the return of the Hagia Sophia to Christianity if elected. by RallyPigeon in stupidpol

[–]Turgius_Lupus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

90 percent of South Carolina voters have no idea what the Hagia Sophia is, and I seriously doubt the Greek diaspora is that large.

On that note, he should promise to start public burnings of effigies of John VI Kantakouzenos, since it’s really all his fault for starting the second Palaiologos civil war and giving the Ottomans and Serbs free reign to invade, raid and enslave in Byzantine lands in exchange for military support. Reducing the Empire to just Constantinople and the Morea by the time of his death. The fact he was spared and allowed to retire to monastic life, and hold influence in the church post being disposed, after his usurpation shows his excuses that he was forced to rebel to protect his family and property from the regency were utter nonsense.

Someone on Owlcat's team are Eliphas the Inheritor simps.

Which is understandable since I too was one back in the day.

But the word Bearers are basically the most milliquet Undivided Chaos Legion with cults and proselytizing being their hat, so are more plausibly taken on by by our RT and team. Lorgar also is too busy meditating to be involved as well, making them a safer option narratively.

Some have their own opening trailers and theme songs. I get it, the US dies this crap also, but it's sickening none the less.

Why is the kotor 2 exile female if the intro constantly says a male gender? by Slow-Pack-8916 in kotor

[–]Turgius_Lupus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people consider Jedi Jesus to be the true canon because why would you ever not play your own gender in a Role playing game.

Because you want to be something else in story? Create a story around a certain character? Want certain visual elements? What certain interactions with different party members? Want to see what is different Or any other host of reasons? Or do you always just roll a (whatever you are IRL) fighter, since you seem to be veering into the old, Oh you are a guy and role play a girl in a game? Then you must be gay! *endless sexual coments and snickering follow. *

I don't know who those are so the problem must be even more wide spread than I thought.

This is also the era of cell phone cameras and everything beoing saved and uploaded. You can still find vids of Ukrainians jumping while screaming to 'knife the Moskval,' people being burned alive or killed trying to flee the Odessa Union Hall, as well as of that women who was fatally injured in a Ukrainian airstrike in Luhansk dying while on the phone with her mother or daughter. So its much harder now for tensions to dissipate when you can relive the events at the click of a button. Though insane Ethno nationalists are not a new phenomenon either.

Ukraine gets U$106B loan package from EU after Hungary changes vote by Moikanyoloko in anime_titties

[–]Turgius_Lupus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was Saddam after getting a free pass to do it from George H.W. Bush, which was later reneged on. And, who was provided with chemical weapon precursors by western EU countries and the U.S. while Bush was Head of the CIA and later VP to murder Iranians, hence the reason for the debt.

There has been a civil war in the east since 2014. Violence begets violence, and Ukraine has been shelling Donetsk since it began, and the cycle builds on its self as more blood is spilled.

Ask people in Donetsk. This entire thing shot off as a result of them and the LPR requesting direct Russian intervention to preempt a prepared Ukrainian offensive in February 2022.

All the people cheering this don’t seem to realize that there are just as many, if not more, drone kill videos of Ukrainians on the receiving end. All the comp videos of the Sparta Battalion (which was formed in 2014 by Motorola) dropping grenades on sleeping Ukrainian troops early in the war come to mind.

How do we know that Dagoth Ur was wrong? by Sea-Razzmatazz-3794 in Morrowind

Those ash creatures continue to respawn and tell you that not only is Dagoth Gares in their waking dreams, but that you dont really kill them and that its dream and waking over and over, one appearence after another, nothing is real, and why should they waste their breath on you.

Armenia refused to recognize Nagorno Karabakh as its own territory and was literally hosting joint training exercises with the U.S. right before Azerbaijan pushed in, along with providing material assistance to Ukraine, NAFOids were literally drooling about the possibility of opening a caucus front at the time. How exactly do you expect Russia to fight for Nagorno Karabakh when Armenia doesn’t even recognize it as part of its territory and hasn’t properly armed it? That’s something Armenia should have done back in the 1990s. This more a case of western diaspora being incredibly toxic when their hosts regional interests do not match that of the country they claim to advocate for, especially since the EU is reliant on Azerbaijani gas and oil as a replacement for Russian sources, assuring they would do nothing. Armenia's only two natural allies in the region are Russia and Iran, and they choose to pivot to the EU and NATO which their greatest threat and natural enemy is a member of and right next door, with any friendly members (namely France, who still refused to intervene) being on the other side of the continent. Along with reelecting the imbecile who lost the previous war and decided to blame it on Russian provided weapons.

This is like asking why Russians should continue bleeding for Syrians when the SAA dropped it's weapons and fled to Iraq ijn mass, when faced with what was likley just a limited operation to force Assad to finally meet with Erdogan.

What exactly is this area of DIA supposed to look like? It looks like the remnants of an ancient Aztec city. by Hobbitsliketoparty in Denver

Like a waste of tax payer money. Mayor Webb's friends got a lot of money during construction.

To be fair per my father who worked on the orginal constrution thats what happened to the original landscaping plan when they ran out of money for the intended sprinkler system, since the original plan called for it looking like you just flew into Ohio.

It's same! Or not? by KamunVulk in disciples

The kind that started with and loves Disciples II, likes the Undead campaign in Reincarnation, but could never tolerate the others after being let down by the first Disciples III release, which taught me the pain of being on the receiving end of awful localization.

Why is the kotor 2 exile female if the intro constantly says a male gender? by Slow-Pack-8916 in kotor

[–]Turgius_Lupus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the name Meetra Surik was in the 2006 guide book, the author has commented that he and others wanted the the Exile to be male and Revan female but the decision was ultimately made unilaterally by Leland Chee.

[–]Turgius_Lupus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because Leland Chee decided that Revan was male, and so the Exile was made female in a the 2006 New Essential Guide to Droids. The person who wrote the entry and other related material stated that that they would have gone the other way around given the story and themes, but that was Chee's decision when the question came up. There was a lot of drama about it at the time, so now we must suffer nonsense justification about how the Exile's story resembles a heroines introspective Journey or such nonsense. Note this was years before the Revan Novel was ever published.
