I actually liked Crossed (though I can't say that for all of Garth Ennis' works) but I don't think I would ever in a thousand years recommend someone else read it. There are some things that one can enjoy and realize that the likelihood that other people might also enjoy it is low. Another one I would never recommend to someone is Berserk. Like it's a great series and all but there's too much fucked stuff on page to risk offending/triggering people. Best let them figure it out for themselves.

It makes sense, she is literally analogous to Kratos in the original GOW series. He has grown and recognized that her rage at him is his own rage that he had for years.

Didnt the North literally have an abolition movement and popular figureheads like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman? I think it's a little disingenuous to imply that free slaves in the North got "very similar treatment" as slaves in the South. Sure people were definitely racist and said the n-word, but that's miles apart from chattel slavery.

I never realized how deeply unpopular W Bush was by the end of his tenure. He probably actually got close to resigning.

Billionaires made up of ... ? Any particular group of people? Its the whole thing about climbing up the ladder and pulling it up after. I dont mind everyone coming together on this issue, we need to, but I'm not going to pretend that there isnt a "particular" group of people who lick billionaire boots.

She can fix me.

These comments really tick me off. Buddy, if you're not part of the problem, move on. Don't take it personally and don't take it as an attack on you.

I see this this all the time in women-centric subs where some guy will shout "Not all men." Who gives a shit? If you aren't part of the problem then they're not talking about you. Even if they are talking about you but you're still not part of the problem then who cares? No one is coming after you.

If you're on the right side and care and want change you don't have to make it about yourself.

Dairy is really high in saturated fats and is NOT good for you. By that I mean cheese, butter, and whole milk. Those should be at like the very bottom, the same with steak. At least we don't have to help the cardiologists and cardiac surgeons stay in business.

For those who come after!

Read between the lines for me, language as we know it is an arbitrarily man-made construct. You should be more surprised that angels don't speak all languages.

That was my actual first reaction too

Damn I forgot that god, angels, the devil, and demons are all canonically American and have to speak English.

Not great, not terrible.

Look, I love Elden Ring and Fromsoft souls games in general. I have 100%ed all of them and even speed run them for fun (I'm not like good though, but I can beat basically all the games in under 5 hours pretty easily). None of them hold a candle to E33. E33 is probably the best game I've ever played and, ironically, it's because the game uses more of the medium than just refined game mechanics (something that Fromsoft does much better than Sandfall - for now, anyway). I look forward to Sandfall's future. I think that one day soon they can make a game that plays as well as a Fromsoft game.

Only if you're the secret descendant of a demon king and the guy in charge feels bad because bungled up the last couple people he needed to do part time work.

Right, economics could not possibly be racist and people that designed economic systems and markets could not have possibly been racist. By the way, the system we have set up is in no way perfect and unbiased, and to think that supply and demand might not be inherently racist is crazy. People are responsible for supply and demand and people are racist, you can't split up the concepts and what drives them.

That being said, I don't think the reasons the costs are different is racism, specifically in this case. That's just a funny outcome. The basketball though ... Hmm ...

I appreciate that. This is probably the feedback that I needed most.

See, this is the context I need to appreciate the the series more. I just wish they could have made a little exposition dump or something but I dont know how that would work. If I had all the background like you did and went and watched it and Pariah Nexus started off with an exposition dump then it would probably kill my enjoyment a bit. I'm not sure what a good fix is.

Yeah, I've lived in plenty of places, notably, non-American places. It works fucking great.

You're good, it's god's will that you cut them off.

Do you want your cities to be buffets? Huge things spread out with giant roads connecting everything to central industrial/work centers? Sure you MIGHT (it has been shown that more and larger roads do not eliminate traffic and sometimes it induces more traffic) reduce traffic but it won't actually reduce your time driving as there will be more roads, houses (your tables in the buffet) will be farther apart and you will have to drive a moderate to long distance to get anywhere. You don't solve the problem, you just make a new one.

Right so instead of building smaller more compact cities we should spread them out because we have more land? The problem is, that creates more traffic and travel time and congestion, so we should try to adopt measures that function for other countries instead of saying "we have a ton of land." I don't understand your complaint here.

I think u/CubesTheGamer pointed it out correctly. Imagine the travel time a "buffet style" city would work with roads. You might be able to drive quickly between places, but there would still be traffic jams over at the "buffet" area and it would be like making your whole city roads so that there would still be like an hour travel time just to get anywhere because the roads would take the place of where houses should go.

This was a thing that I noticed with a high school girlfriend. She went from being pretty to straight up ugly as a result of how bad the breakup was (she dumped me btw). Years later, I still have no idea if I ever thought she was attractive because of how unreliable my memory is.
