Other way around! That’s why there are dragons in the Völsunga Saga and Beowulf. This is historical fact I’m pretty sure.

Oh, nice, just realized I never played the first

Not to criticize something people enjoy but I bought it and hated the hell out of it. I genuinely consider even its temporary popularity a sign of the decline of shooter gaming as a whole (that or I’m just bored of the genre after playing entirely too much Destiny)

I also learned that the PS Store doesn’t let you do returns anymore, even if you’ve only played about twenty minutes, so fuck off forever Sony, I guess.

Point is, I wonder how many of these players were actually that active in the first place? I bought it because it was basically going viral, and simply could not return it, unlike Palworld.

Might just not have any serious competition.

Democrats aren’t even successful as a controlling party.

It’s the correct spelling in draconic

Hospitals won’t accept paid blood transfusions, but there are two paid markets for what they CALL donations but are sales.

If this person was talking about paid transfusions there’s a subset of parasite that literally just pays young people for elective red cell transfusions. This was actually a plot point in Silicon Valley and it wasn’t a bad depiction of the relationship. Basically, it makes the recipient feel a little more energetic because that’s literally how blood transfusions work, but these old leeches think there’s something special about it

The other is just paid plasma. It’s got a lot of use in industry but regular apheresis is both time consuming and much more risky than they pretend, so they have to offer financial incentives. This blood (plasma) is NOT transfused directly, it is used in various industries for anything from hemophilia treatments to makeup.

Direct transfusions have a higher risk to the recipient so accepting paid transfusions is just not worth it if you have any choice at all, and the nature of paid plasma products demonstrates quite readily why it’s an unacceptable risk, even with improved testing. Hemophiliacs were actually the highest risk group during the AIDs crisis by 3x the rate of gay men. You simply cannot trust people to be safe with other people’s health when money is involved.

Don’t think too much about the implications for for-profit healthcare as a whole.

Yes, indeed. So really what you need from a president is a trustworthy image and a baseline moral character, because all the actual governance minutiae is handled by the staff.

So why is it that all these people come out of the woodwork to insist the president NEEDS to be mired in one of the most corrupt political systems in the developed world?

Yes, yes, we all know what happens when you scratch a liberal but it’s better than not having to scratch to find it. Even if all that’s holding the powers that be back is a skin-deep veneer of civility and deniability a vote to strip that veneer away makes you a fool, not a revolutionary.

Strange that an ailing old man has his administration behind him to do all the gruntwork but an actually popular candidate wouldn’t

And it will be again in 2026. And 2028. And 2030 if those don’t work…

The Nazis are in the Reichstag. It ends with the death of the Republic or a civil war, period.

It’s not elder abuse for Trump because Nazis aren’t people.

I’ll vote for a senile old man who wants universal healthcare and won’t help do a genocide any day of the week.

I’ll also vote for a senile old liberal who’s the opposite of both of those things when the alternative is a fuckin Nazi, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be quiet about my displeasure.

I mean, I think it devolved into a literal mental breakdown at the end. That or it was just a freeform poem all along.

Bro’s protest voting when the Weimar American Republic has Nazis on the ballot and thinks building “grassroots support” for the twentieth year in a row justifies it when the world is about to run out of time anyways

You want Green candidates? Tell them to run as Democrats or make a fucking militia.

Step 1: Flee the country

Step 2: Laugh at all the idiots getting what they deserve

Step 3: Get nuked anyways

Yeah some treason is cool

Like, yes, Trump is a traitor, but the real problem is he did it for the wrong treasons, making him trash.

No, you fools, the divine spirits of the stars are different than ghosts!

While we’re on the topic, I demand they begin to support universal leprechaun farts.

And everyone who cares about facts would never vote for him.
