I’d sabotage an aircraft carrier for some gheimeh. I mean, I’d do it anyway but you should never work for free when Iranian food is on the line

we need a real :kane: emoji, not

This part in particular bothered me:

On the other side, you face the aggression and violence of the very imperialist and Zionist forces the Islamic Republic purports to stand against.

purports to stand against

Purports what? Who out there is standing firmer against imperialist and zionist forces than Iran and its allies? Fucking clowns…

That’s a different lake!

I had to get my brother to play the undercity section of KotOR, the rakghouls (space zombies) scared me too much. It doesn’t help that the people living inside the dilapidated outcast village tell you that you’ll get infected by a single bite and transform into a horrible monster if you go outside the walls. Not to mention the fact that several villagers are sick in quarantine, and will transform if you approach them without the cure that you get a while later.

And of course, the first time you approach the village gate you see a villager begging to be let back in as he’s being chased by one of the creatures. You have to choose whether to let him in and fight the rakghouls or let him die (which the gate guard begs you to do, for the safety of the village). They don’t look super intimidating in retrospect, but I literally wouldn’t set one foot outside of the gates until my brother showed me that they don’t actually infect your character with the disease (it’s just a poison DoT in game)

It gets exhausting right? I ofc have an opinion on the tipping discourse but even if I theoretically agree, HBs will just default ignore the realities of black (and other racialized) people in this shithole “country”.

As if the countless generations of societal engineering haven’t deliberately created an environment where a white server (currently fucked over by their employer through theft of wages and foisting the expectation of tipping onto customers) looks at black customers with utter disdain.

As it goes

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you”

Normally I’m in favor of removing ambiguity and double meaning in communication, but so much of art, humor, poetry etc. are based on little changes in interpretation that you get from linguistic ambiguity.

I’d prefer instead of letting machine translation flatten language to completely literal robotic info exchanges, we had an understanding in our society that at a base level gives people the time to learn and understand each others meaning - rather than always rushing to erase expression in favor of “productivity” under a capitalist hegemony

Unalienable lights

I haven’t seen any herons recently, many cranes though

The rotting corpse of US regulatory agencies allow for frequent negligent use of under-regulated, under-treated “Biosolids”, aka human feces, as fertilizer. Many human pathogens are transferred and magnified by crops exposed to recycled sewage

Did y-y-y-your pitiful insect brain think you sssssssssimply fell out of a Beta Grove tree ^tree _tree ^tree?

Gonna be the first weeb to suggest Cowboy Bebop

Seatbelts - Spokey Dokey

Seatbelts - Digging My Potato

I’d just use explanations like widely practiced disciplines of magic that enhance the yields of crops to serve greater populations. Maybe methods to enchant or bless soil or the water used for irrigation, increasing fertility & soil nutrients. Devices to harvest faster and more efficiently are just one of thousands of ways to justify little anachronisms, because it’s fantasy

Edit: judging by the modlog, you were telling OP, who is visiting his Vietnamese family, to step on a mine for some reason? I’m clearly missing the historical context that would make this cool

What exactly are you asking?

Remy Bonjasky got pretty close, not as fluffy & adorable though

There were some fan theories that

I don’t think there’s any actual material to support this though?

They don’t believe in anything they say, of course, but just to take the bait

“Little hats”? Look at the bigass crowns on the prophets! And who are the extremely amerikkka-coded humans in this analogy anyway, if the sangheili are the proud white warriors?
