Pandaria Welcomes You

Anduin inheriting the Wrynn nose was the best thing about his BfA model.

An Amazon employee a few years ago flipped a switch and all queer books were instantly listed as “Adult.” That’s how easy it is. And if all porn is illegal, all queer expression and education and history can become illegal and unavailable at the flip of a switch.

It would also open the door to criminalize trans people, and queer people more generally, by way of our very existence in any form of public life being deemed "obscene".

They already say this and have already said that is their ultimate goal, out loud.

This ends in genocide.

This bill would criminalize soft core porn, television that depicted porn, or just old videos you owned that you purchased legally years ago. If it causes arousal it’s obscene in their eyes.

Call your politicians yall.

"But I don't share porn or look at porn or make anything pornographic so it won't affect me"

Until they decide something you DO make or consume is "obscene" and they go after that too. Namely literally ANY queer content... also, looking at you Entire Furry Fandom.

We should ALL be angry about this

Ditch Brann and give me a selection of Shado-Pan to delve with. Maybe Lorewalker Cho if I want to spice things up by having someone Daniel Jackson his way through the instance, touching every shiny thing he sees.

I think my ideal version of WoW would transplant delves, follower dungeons, and dragonriding into Pandaria and just...let me play MoP with some modern, solo-friendly conveniences.

Tosses "Discipline Tank" for priests.

I already play my disc priest like he's a brewmaster in delves, just with shields instead of staggering damage.

...right, I'll resist the urge to stay up all night refreshing. I'm pinning everything on selling a *lot* of pendants in the next 2 days, but going without sleep won't actually help.

Go on shiny things, find your people!

I put a cute little table out on the deck and the amount of rain we get destroyed it within a year.

I can't even imagine exposing books to our humidity.

I wish I had gotten the leaked WoW Classic survey, because I would have mashed that "stay in MoP forever" option so many times.

Of course, I didn't want to leave Pandaria the first time around, either.

I spent the last two goddamn days cobbling together a geonode setup that will let me make string a rope bridge between any two objects in blender.

This would have taken me 25 minutes if I'd just followed the tutorial instead.

And probably work better, too.

You know, just once...just once...I would like Blizzard to write returning characters as if their pre-existing relationship with us mattered, rather than them defaulting to the Honorific of the Expac.

No one from Azeroth should have called me Maw Walker. Ve'nari should only call me Maw Walker.

That is a dude who has missed several decades of society reclaiming the monster as the hero.

America will be noteworthy for collapsing in the dumbest way possible.

Now give either of them some story time in the main game.

Having recently played a bit of Cataclysm, I want it on record that I'm annoyed we never saw Aggra again.

Don't give me a fuckin' badass and then take her away you bastards.

And I'm not saying Varian couldn't be a dick, that just seems a bit theatrical for him. A lot of trouble to go to when he could have snubbed Genn by refusing to attend in the first place, if the message was "the Gilneans aren't worth consideration for the Alliance."

Every so often, I think of the novel where Varian went to the trouble of bringing his son and an entire royal entourage to Teldrassil for a meeting of Alliance leaders, simply so he could be a dick to Genn Greymane and then leave.

AI is making Darwinism relevant again.

At last! At last I was sent to the Cranes! I have met my rival! MoP Classic is SAVED!

They sent me back to the Jade Serpent for my August Celestials dailies. /cry

But at least they remembered that the Jade Temple has more than one set of dailies, so I was retrieving masks and arrows, so that's something.

Now let me go fight Cranes, Blizz. I have a Rival to meet.

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement.

The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

"Ugh stop involving politics with porn, I just wanna get off" I'm sorry to break it to you but porn has been political for years now. There's people in power working to outlaw your porn. They'll keep trying and if they finally succeed it'll be bc enough people chose to bury their head in the sand.

So it's really a blueb berry.

It's like they just took the fix for "there are two rs in strawberry" and applied it to everything.

AI is as much of a shitshow as the US government.

Yes, as a matter of fact I AM still mad about Dalaran.

Dalaran's destruction made Breanni cry and traumatized my dog and that will NOT be tolerated, no matter how "quirky villain" Xal'atath is.

From an Ofcom guidance: Business disruption measures 9.4 9.5 9.6 Business disruption measures are orders made by a court on an application from Ofcom. They apply to third parties which are able to disrupt the provision of the regulated service and thereby reduce the risk of harm to UK citizens and consumers. The third party need not be an Ofcom regulated entity and may not have had any previous dealings with Ofcom. The Act provides for four types of business disruption measure: a) a service restriction order; b) an interim service restriction order; c) an access restriction order; and d) an interim access restriction order. A service restriction order is an order applying to one or more providers of 'ancillary services' to a non-compliant regulated service. An ancillary service is a service that facilitates the provision of the regulated service (or part of it) (for example, payment processing services) or one that displays or promotes content in relation to the regulated service (for example an ad server). 110 The criteria with which a court must be satisfied to grant an application for an order are set out in section 144(3) and (4) of the Act and include that the court must be satisfied that the service provider has failed and is continuing to fail with an enforceable requirement or with a Technology Notice under section 121(1) of the Act. 111 A service restriction order requires the ancillary service against which an order is obtained to take steps aimed at disrupting the relevant regulated service in the UK...

Ofcom says that if you refuse to censor yourself under the Online Safety Act, it will force payment processors and ISPs to stop doing business with you.

When the government can't shut you up, the banks and credit cards will.

Absolutely terrifying.

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

I don't know what lore they're going on about, but it certainly isn't Warcraft lore.
