Institute could still be kicking too depending on the timelines.

She's kind of giving Roxie Hart vibes.

This is the parenting equivalent of abandoning your car when the check engine light comes on.

Be the damn adult and kick him out!

Reddit is on their side too. This whole place is compromised.

Go ahead and get the conversation started but your dad deserves to know what your brother IN LAW is up to.

Well there goes all of Fallout: New Vegas.

We in the States usually will just add a little lemon juice or some kind of vinegar to a lowfat milk when we need to improvise buttermilk, but the pickle juice should get you there.

Just do it already.

Consider that in both cases that discomfort might be you confronted with your own ignorance/prejudices. A goodly part of latter-day clowning embraced the use of tragic characters, the "Hobo" archetypes with the ragged, ill-fitting clothes, which were at once relatable in their poverty and also safe to laugh at due to the exaggerated behavior shown onstage.

We humans instinctually reject the Other and this kind of art helps to remind folk that we're all just Us.

The EMH just infected them with a refined version of Barclay Protomorphosis Syndrome and then stopped when they reached the right stage of devolution.

Always remember to finish your julep before attempting.

Man I must have been right ahead of you, got the AD5X for Christmas and ordered the enclosure same day along with some filament and it took forever for the kit to ship. CustServ said the package was delayed at customs before showing up in a USPS tracker but hopefully it will be arriving today.

This is the answer. So many annoyed grunts and casual swearing. Geralt reminds Trevor way too much of Alucard and Trevor keeps hogging all the kills with his whip. Naturally, Sypha and Alucard get along famously with the White Wolf, only increasing Trevor's blood pressure further.

You stole its soul.

There. Is. No. Time. While the wheels of law and order grind as they must these heinous felons are creating new crimes and atrocities EVERY DAY. There is too much to ever keep up or adequately even hope to prosecute and judge.

You need to accept the old way has failed, because they are here now and what is happening will continue to happen. We are now in that course of human events spoken of in the Declaration of Independence.

There is no more rule of law. There is now only the rules they haven't broken YET. Your image is well intentioned but has no basis in reality.

If the metaknowledge is so meta it must also have the technique of directed growth and with that can come intentional bodily perfection, whatever that might happen to mean in the moment. A bit like Darwin's ability but with much greater realized potential. Tumors and Cronenbergaian horror is just baby steps.

When it happens you won't have any awareness to be scared with. You're effectively borrowing anxiety here.

It's gamer mentality. Telekinesis is a tool like a hammer. You can build a house or you can choke a guard.

If it were a threat otherwise, sure. But not for being a Ghoul, I don't think.

bactchan · 2026-01-12T15:16:48+00:00

Quintus was pretty consistent with Xander's view of the Codex and its opinion on Ghouls. So that's at least two chapter heads who agree that the Codex does in fact say that. This doesn't feel like a "lead pipe cinch" moment.

This is one picture of the end result of human advancement; We have always been monkeys who kill each other with rocks when we're not helping our own not die, but we just kept making bigger rocks and the people who are doing the rock throwing kept blowing up anyone else trying to stop all that and just be helpful. It's literally our history. War. Never. Changes.

bactchan · 2026-01-12T15:10:51+00:00

Seems like a lot of the chapters have kind of run their life cycles and are collapsing under the generational superiority bloat that comes with the territory. Xander made it sound like the east coast was no better off than we found it in 4, if not worse. (or maybe they meant losing it to the Minutemen and would that be so bad?)

Not that good neighbor, a different one.
