No. That is not what she did.

She was an ideological tool and not some kind of exemplar.

A most charitable description of her would be that she was the symbolic representative of an ideologically motivated charity.

It’s the weirdest complaint to me too because the only character that it really seems like we know has to be white is Rand and that’s only because typically only white people have red hair.

When I first read it I thought him being singled out as a white guy with red hair and that being so notable probably meant that tall redheaded white dudes are kind of rare around these parts. People guessed his ethnicity just by looking at him too.

The idea that everyone else would be some other shade of skin makes perfect fucking sense in that context.

I don’t like the way that they broke the rules of magic. It changes the stakes in ways that make the story less compelling but all of the racist and sexist nonsense is pathetic and sad. I’m not sure how people could read 14 of these books and come away thinking, “men are like this and women are like that” or some shit.

All Rafe cared about were ginger ninjas. Everything else was secondary to that.

Don’t get me wrong he also did poorly at that but it had his attention.

I just wanted to see Dumais Wells. That’s all.

The trailer alone for it would have soaked my undies.

Fade to black The lull roar of combat and screams of battle, the screen fades in on the face of Mazrim Taim “Asha’man…” The screen flickers to the a group of men bursting with viscous black and red fibers of light crawling into the ground.

“Kill”

The screen goes black and from a distance the ripple passing through the Earth rises to wash fighters from the battle field.

There is no fight. There is only the one power and true terror. A 5-second trailer would have done it. I wanted that and they took it from me.

I’m so disappointed. "

Why would there need to be?

Republicans were just fishing for any excuse to stop the clintons from forming a cohesive universal health care plan and in general just obstruct the government because Democrats had power. They would have found something. They had already latched onto a 43,000 loss The clintons made on a land deal as if it was proof of high crimes and misdemeanors.

If they knew about the blowjob they would have gone right for it. Instead it was something that popped up during cross-examination when they were investigating the whitewater scandal during the government shutdown they had caused and managed to catch Clinton in a lie . They realized there actually was someone else in the oval office with him even though he said that he was alone.

That’s why the whole conversation about what the word “is” is even happened.

For how long?

It is not realistic to suggest that a person alone, without access to resources, creates abundance without support from other people while somehow finding shelter and food.

A person does not create civilization, and if you want to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.

Also, If I understand it correctly it’s also called this because caulking requires jamming pitch soaked rope into the joints so it’s still about rope!

Paid : give money for

Payed: nautical term meaning to let out some slack on the rope or to cover the deck in tar/pitch for sealing it

Just a dude Bo Peepin’ it with the homies.

Silimar, I had a teacher ask us to write down the first animal that came to mind and I wrote, “wolf spider” because to an 8 year old, there are few more bad ass sounding animals.

She said “really? That’s the First animal you think of?” Eye roll

Me: looks down at doodles of giant spiders battling tanks that shoot lightning, “it’s the only animal I’m thinking of right now…”

The only naive oversimplification here is believing that when the USDA is ordered to do something by a judge that means Trump automatically does it.

Snap is dark. There was a court order to turn on the lights. Those lights have not turned on yet. Don’t be pedantic if you can’t bring the receipts.

Fascism is extremely well-funded and these assholes band together just look at the bailout of Argentina.

Terminal velocity for a human is not fast enough to cause air to heat up. You’d probably get frostburn instead.

Yes. We are subsidizing the wealthiest corporations in the world to underpay their workers and then we’re subsidizing those workers to pay full retail price for the food that we are subsidizing farmers to produce. Yet no one who works for a living is making any money.

Farmers aren’t making any money, retail workers aren’t making any money, train workers aren’t making any money, truck drivers aren’t making any money, but Walmart, Monsanto and Union Pacific are doing fantastic.

It doesn’t dictate how they grow the food but the number one recipient of those dollars are the owners of retail food sellers and the biggest of these are companies like Walmart.

Kind of yea.

Within snap are some programs (like food stamps) that are another way to funnel government money to private business while using the very real needs people have to excuse the tremendous graft inherent in having the government pay retail price for store goods that it already subsidized the production and transportation of.

There are much more efficient ways to get people food and we used to actually do it but alas there is more money to be captured this way so no more government cheese or federally organized food transportation logistics. …and don’t you dare talk about strategic reserves, stock rotation or paying farmers to dispose of “excess” production…

I thought this was an AI forum for casual hookups, did I misunderstand the name of the community entirely?

This is so fucking wonderful.

This looks exactly like the picture I drew of a dog when I was in kindergarten that everybody said looked like a black man with bunny ears.

I feel vindicated but I’m still a terrible artist.
