Ah the classic way to say hello in Australian.

Nah, it would be more like Dictator Beatings.

I live for that imitation gruel. It’s what keeps me going with producing Gucci wallets for the streets of Hong Kong.

I would like to see the source for this meme.

I thought Monopoly ended when someone decides to flip the board and start a revolution.

I mean there was a meme about the German Army was sending troops to Poland.

I always enjoyed the story of 2. Origins and 3 both fall for the same story beats aka “You are the Chosen One. Only you can save the World.”

Origins, you are the last of the Grey Wardens in Felderen. Only you can reunite everyone to stop the Blight.

3, only you can close the rifts, reunite everyone, and stop the Big Bad guy.

In 2n Varic actively mocks that in the beginning. Hawke is portrayed as the Chosen One. When challenged, Varic admits that he made it up. Hawke is a nobody in beginning, only kicks start the mage and templar war because of the people that they associated started everything. Cough Anders Cough Hawke really just stumbles from adventure to adventure because of their companions.

It’s a story about unintended consequences and how small events can lead into big events.

2’s biggest failure was the over use of the same assets. The is cave/house/ruin is the same layout all the other cave/house/ruin. It was fine when it made narrative sense however that it is only for a minority of the time.

I saw you start dunking on Brett Favre. I wanted to dunk on him too.

Woah there, Brett Favre is not a “welfare queen”. That would imply that Brett identifies as a women. According to the bullshit pushed by conservatives that can’t happen. So that makes Brett Favre a “welfare sponge”, “welfare fraud”, “king of collecting welfare”, “thief”, “a hypocritical, piece of shit, who is only collecting welfare cause they need it. Every one is just a welfare bum”.

I’m guessing those people would all be succeeded by their next of kin. Would that cause a wave of change or…?

Something would happen on the micro level. Some families would fight over the power vacuum, other families would slowly fall into obscurity due to the loss of a loved one, some might spend resources to track down information, some might a come to Jesus moment about the wealth, etc.

Would anything change on the macro level? Doubtful. New people will rise to the top as the system that created unimaginable wealth still exists.

That rock is inclusive! It doesn’t let any homeless person sleep there. The rock does not care about skin color, race, sexual orientation, gender, etc.

I’m calling the DNC technique of wrapping Reaganomics in a friendly identity politics outer shell “woke-washing” because of how similar it is to “green-washing”.

Some More News did a segment on how Regan forced the Democrat Party to go further right in order to achieve power. Same thing happened in the UK after Thatcher. The Labour Party swung right to get votes.

I don’t have the data however I would imagine, that after the the conservative 80s, a lot left wing parties moved to the right to capture votes.

Also Regan elevated Jerry Falwall and the Christian Religious Right.

Coverage naturally gravitated toward Lynchburg, Virginia, preacher Jerry Falwell, who had supported Anita Bryant’s 1977 anti-gay-rights crusade, and Virginia Beach television mogul Pat Robertson, who was involved with the Washington for Jesus rally of April 1980 (scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the first landing at Jamestown).

Falwell, head of the Moral Majority (another nod to Nixon), was more eager to enter the political arena. He thus became the first anointed spokesperson of what was then commonly called the “Religious New Right.”

During the 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan and the evangelical conservatives engaged in a very public courting ritual. Evangelicals had entertained possible GOP alternatives to Carter since at least 1979. Options abounded— ranging from right-wing purist Philip Crane of Illinois to early front-runner John Connally of Texas—but Reagan, long a darling of conservatives in general, was an especially compelling choice. By the time Moral Majority executive director Robert Billings signed on as a Reagan campaign adviser, the deal was pretty much sealed.

Truly Regan was a piece of shit.
