Because when the definitions were written down in literal antiquity, Asia was anything east of the Bosphorus, and Europe was anything west of it.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

I mean, if you don't believe, having powers based on belief are going to fail.

Awakening's Seers feel like a better fit for who rules now though. Those who worship power for the sake of power, grovel for those who are above them for a scrap of power themselves, which they use to oppress others, because oppression is the source of their masters' power. Gotta be a good minion...

Nice! I'm more of an Awakening fan, as I don't like the idea of consensual reality (and I enjoy gnosticism). But looking around at things, I might be forced to reassess...

The Marauders are winning.

Oh god.
How many of those do we think are bots deployed to capitalise on Kirk's death?

Mangione allegedly killed a CEO.
We'll see what the court says.

I don't.
It's cultural.
Their education system sucks, but when a 20-something yank goes "I hadn't even considered that they might have cities in Mexico", that's more than just bad education. It speaks to a deep incuriosity about the world in general.

And looking this up, this particular comic was from 2006, so that tracks.

That sword is lovely! What's that style called?

And mongol warriors preferred to ride mares, as the milk mean more supply.

Yeah. I have concentric circles of "I don't have the mind space to care about you any more" when it comes to the US. MAGA→Red area→Red state→USA as a whole.
Sorry guys, but until you get rid of the fascist-in-chief, and start taking care of yourselves it is hard to care about the lot you. :/

Awesome! Hope you'll like it! It's absolutely a favorite of mine!

Abelard, repost this meme.

Eh. Not healthy. Compost them instead.

Well. At least he can help some sunflowers grow.

My personal guess is that it would be like thick card stock. Like what the cover of books are made out of, as OP said.

my modest disagreement is that i think it is important to signal virtue even if, privately, you are a piece of shit. performing decency is an important part of maintaining the norm that decency is part of a well ordered society.

Hey, could be Veden or Thaylen too!

Autowrong is a great term! :D

I find myself engaging A LOT more here, with various posts, because I feel this is a more genuine space, and also a smaller risk of being bullied to hell and back for sticking out in public.

Sad to hear, but, glad to hear that you are putting in effort to make it good instead of pushing it out as soon as possible and then fixing in patches. That would just have annoyed folks.
Also, nice reveal.

Hey! That's an awesome sword tat!

Gas station.

She looks badass. Thanks for sharing this!

Cool thing. Excellent for urban areas. Is like those retirement communes where everyone drives golf carts. Amazon sucks, of course, but the delivery vehicle doesn't. Less exhausts, less road wear, less tire junk in people's lungs...
I approve.

So... Do we get to see the modifications turning out to go horribly right?

Tabby cat on a bed, rolling over on her back, she has large ears, and one ear is folded under her head where she lies.

I see a cat. I reply with a cat.

Looking forward to seeing Putin's a bit more, since without him the will to push forward with the Ukraine war might falter somewhat.
Trump absolutely sucks, but he's not the figurehead for a genocidal war. At the moment.
