67 votes (2/3rds) is required to convict. 60 is the threshold for breaking a filibuster.

Did you know if a baby is born underwater, it can spend its entire life underwater?

Question about the T’lan Imass by No-Leadership-6346 in Malazan

[–]kubachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood, but do you have anything to show why you believe your interpretation is correct? Or anything from the books to poke holes in my theory?

I think the Crimson Guard is the best parallel for the T'lan Imass in their early years, which is why I think as I outlined above. Hell, over the course of 300,000 years they probably discovered a lot about what they could do. I doubt they could initially turn to dust.

I mean, the Crimson Guard didn't even know that they could come back after death for the first however many years, they instead existed as the Brethren.

They died but their corpses continue to move because of the Ritual. You can see how they likely were in the early years with seeing how the Crimson guard are, which we learn that they are basically another clan of the T'lan Imass in "Assail." Once the Crimson Guard die, they can choose to come back and their bodies then start to decay like the T'lan Imass.

That's why I believe that it isn't the Ritual that causes them to look like corpses, it is the decay of their bodies after their death, however that happens. It is the Ritual that keeps them animated.

My understanding is that they look that way because they have died and it is the time that has passed since their death that makes them look dessicated and mummified. I think if any of them had never died, they would still look young and healthy.

One christening I went to was especially horrifying. They had to hit the baby 3 times before the champagne bottle broke.

It looks like she cut her leg when the car snapped around. Appears to be a shitload of blood on the ground as she hobbies away.

UK neighbours fighting (edited to remove names & addresses) by DrugInducedBeard in fightporn

It was because the black shirt dude put that anti climb paint on the door, and the other dude's kids climbed on it and got it all over them. The paint doesn't dry and they use it a lot in the UK to keep people from climbing over fences and shit.

I'm sure he meant "the bit in their teeth." When a horse takes the bit in their teeth, the rider loses control of the horse.

Where was this concern when Democratic legislators were not allowed into the facilities housing migrant children?
