The Emperor probably should have talked to all his kids.

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.

The audience is going to get a pack of smokes/some milk. Just like my Dad was going to do, 29 years ago.

Todd Akin, Missouri’s Republican Senate candidate, sparked controversy with a claim, made in a TV interview posted Sunday, that victims of “legitimate rape” very rarely get pregnant because their bodies prevent them from doing so.

Speaking to Charles Jaco on the Jaco Report on St. Louis’s Fox station, Akin was answering a question about allowing abortions in the case of rape. He said, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Todd Akin did apologize and then decided to make it worse.

In July 2014, WND Books published Akin's book, Firing Back: Taking on the Party Bosses and Media Elite to Protect Our Faith and Freedom. In it, he said that he regretted apologizing, because "by asking the public at large for forgiveness, I was validating the willful misinterpretation of what I had said." He also defended his original comments and attacked various Republicans for "wronging" him...

Fuck. I lost it too.

Filibusting senators don't even do that anymore. All the senator has to do is send an email saying that they will filibust.

Elon is the prefect example of how little actual work a CEO does.

• CEO of SpaceX - Elon Musk
• Chairman and CTO of Twitter - Elon Musk
• CEO of Telsa - Elon Musk
• President of Musk Foundation - Elon Musk
• CEO of xAI - Elon Musk

What does Elon do all day? Be a piece of a shit on Twitter. If CEO work was so demanding, there would be no way Elon would be the CEO of three different companies, chairman of the Board and CTO of one company, and a president of a "charitable" organization.

Reporting by The New York Times found that in 2022, the Musk Foundation gave away $230 million less than the minimum required by law to maintain tax-deductible status, and that in 2021 and 2022 over half the foundation's funds went to causes connected to Musk, his family, or his businesses.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point, Eric Adams said something a long the lines "If you didn't do anything illegal, you have nothing to hide".

Trump is easy to manipulate. Go on Truth Social, astroturf the shit out of the idea that Musk is going to backstab Trump. Sit back and enjoy the show.

Not just any Linux. Arch too!

Turd Ferguson is a funny name.
