If it lost the rider, it would make an excellent Gigantic Spawn of Nurgle, which uses a 60 x 100 mm base.

Once again, I am feeling that forums (or hell, Reddit) is the better social media format, and I regret that more setups don't have that level of compartmentalisation.

Because having both the main escape from The Horrors and regular updates about The Horrors on the same feed is... slightly horrific.

Honestly, "retaliation for kids being murdered by the school-full" seems about as justified as a counter-attack can be.

Particularly the implication in this case is "cheap and low quality" rather than "delivered at a sensible price" or any of the other possibilities.

Aiming to appeal to the "anti-woke" audience by hiring sexual predators.

Honestly, I don't think Nazis should be given free reign to abuse and murder men either.

Paramount trying to reach out to anti-woke viewers by hiring a sexual predator to headline their creative team.

Honest question: why are UK politics so insane? Obvious glass houses situation, so, yes, stipulated but what gives?

Honest question: why are UK politics so insane? Obvious glass houses situation, so, yes, stipulated but what gives?

Insane, antiquated voting and parliamentary system; world’s most poisonous media outlets, who operate as a gangster extortion racket; slavish obedience to US governments; bulging, slimy chained door in the cellar that must never be opened, in case The Demonic Horrors come spilling out into the world

It seems there was also a big anti-Labour majority, but they seem less willing to consider that.

Near perfect cubes of Pyrite from a mine in Spain. These natural crystals have not been carved, cut, or polished and are shown just as they came from the earth.

This 1.8kilo specimen has 3 amazing cubes that sit attached to their original limestone matrix.

In a civilised society, the individual officers responsible for this, as well as the individual officials and politicians who enabled it, would die in prison.

I am very literal and very specific when I say:

Both those who reported them and those who put this law in place are evil, and bad things should happen to them as a consequence.

Honestly, I'm just as happy to see them descending into bickering.

It's not a moral win for any of the scum involved, but perhaps it might split the vote some.

Honestly, I think this is actually worse than the middle of Brexit.

Theresa May was much more liberal on trans rights as PM than Starmer is, for example.

(Though it's become clear since that this was her going with the zeitgeist rather than a sincere belief, she still talked the talk publicly.)

At the best of times, the State of the Union is a tedious affair, where no new information is conveyed and the whole thing descends into self-congratulatory farce.

And then you have THIS idiot delivering it.

The Facebook comment (with name redacted) reads: "I object to that many Furries being on the same airplane because if there were an accident it could basically cripple the American IT industry in an instant."

It's more often CRPG powers, or occasionally TTRPG powers through a CRPG lens, so a lot of the time the main character is a Main Character and has a special leg up over everyone else.

The thing about hiring a "reformed" Gestapo agent to "take care of" people in someone else's files, is that a certain amount of "wastage" has to be expected.

By which we mean innocent people killed, either due to proximity or because what was on file about them was a fabrication.

There are variations on the airless tyre which are much more long lasting, though, and throwing out the worn out tyre is still a significant impact.

(Particularly as recycling of old tyres essentially does not exist.)
