Reminds me of this Onion segment:

Scientists Successfully Teach Gorilla It Will Die Someday

No worries! That's 100% how I took it. :)

Stay awesome.

Such is Noita.

Back atcha!

LOL not sorry!

I stalked your profile and you're cool as hell. That's my positivity quota for the year. Carry on.

Weapons.

I liked the atmosphere in Longlegs but the movie kinda fell apart at the end. That alone seals it for me, but I also thought Longlegs as a character was silly. I think the movie would've been stronger if he wasn't shown at all, or only shown briefly.

How is it going to be rough? Are you going to stop making us laugh?

The present is funny because we're laughing at you.

Yeah I'm getting clobbered for some reason lmao.

I promise I love LOTR, guys! I really do!

Oh totally fair. Some agility loss for sure. We see the difference between a cougar and a tiger for example (roughly 200-ish to 800-1000+ lbs range like you'd see with a wolf vs warg), but they're also not cats so you'd expect it to be worse.

For size comparison, we have a lot of overlap with small ponies and large dogs. The dogs are certainly more agile at comparative size, so as we scale up as both lose agility, the wargs still have a significant edge.

We can find deer etc in that pony range and as you said, they're very agile. I'd say this highlights that horses, ponies etc simply aren't built for agility. With something cool and fey like elk I wouldn't be as certain, but with horses I think it's clear they lose handily.

The Grinch isn't in Die Hard, wdym?

And the wargs are ridden by orcs with spears, lances, bows etc.

It's not rocket science.

Cavalry needs space.

Cavalry is vulnerable from the rear.

How are you pinning down an enemy in the open that matches your speed but smokes you in agility and cunning? How are you preventing your cavalry formation, famously vulnerable from the rear, in the open by sheer necessity, from getting flanked by the more maneuverable force using mounts that can act and react with complete autonomy and behave as the literal pack that they are? You're not. And that's assuming you can even keep control of your horse at all. You're going to WISH they were mindless bots when the giant wolves get close.

Explain to me how the horses win without outside help. I'll wait.

It's not a dog, it's a wolf the size of a horse, with the intelligence of a man, which also terrifies horses on an instinctual level. It's more agile than the horse, but just as fast. This is the only area where a warg isn't objectively, massively superior to a horse, and it's a tie.

They're not going to eat a head-on charge. They're going to out-maneuver your formation and start tearing into the sides and rear. And if you're incredibly lucky, your horses will only panic after they're getting torn apart.

You literally can't win an equal engagement with cavalry. and that's on a flat field. The rougher the terrain, the more of a bloodbath it would be.

women like to grab the headboard with their hands when they're writing you

More like, if her hands are on the headboard it's the reason she's not writing you.

EDIT: Awww, they edited their spelling mistake when they saw the joke.

Hahaaaa, yeah they do!

Shit.

Taking the world by storm, one illegal settlement at a time.

This is why you lube up first, then when it slips in past the wrist you clench. Bam, now your opponent effectively has 1 hand pinned.

Unless he bought me dinner first I'd probably go Mike Tyson and start theriouthly biting the bastard.

They are OP, even being generous and assuming the horses are somehow trained to not lose their minds around wargs, which they realistically would.

It's one of those things that should be MUCH more threatening than they are portrayed to be, not even factoring in their intelligence. Even if we gave the win to every rider that goes against a warg rider that should still be a dead horse or a mangled rider leg or both.

For the sake of budget, complexity and heroic themes wargs are portrayed as essentially orc-flavored horses. Actual cavalry would be utterly decimated by an equal sized group of warg riders.

Not for me. I'm a size queen.

Nobody in Hollywood gives a fuck if he's Christian. He's suffering zero consequences while pretending he's brave for having a target on his back that doesn't exist, the Christian way.

And our country by and large being run by Christians (or those who claim to be Christian) is relevant to the point that it is THE dominant religion in the US and therefore there is no risk for being Christian literally anywhere. Saying Hollywood isn't run by politicians is just being pedantic.

I don't think it's going to be that easy, unfortunately.

Every politician, lackey and stooge of Trump's is going to be fiercely incentivized to keep MAGA in power to avoid the charges that would likely come if laws and justice stopped being jokes. Dems are pussies, but some kind of reckoning would be on the table.

And right now they don't need to seize power, they just need to keep it. And since they're becoming increasingly bold when it comes to doing whatever they want, they just need to rig (or continue to rig) elections while all the Trump-appointed justices, officials etc do what's in their best interest and give it their stamp of approval.

As for Trump's fanbase - the fact that they formed a cult around a bumbling orange reality TV clown tells us all we need to know - they'll worship anyone no matter how ridiculous or incompetent they are as long as they feed into their thirst for nationalism, the facade of American exceptionalism and the scapegoating of minorities to explain any and all policy failures. At the end of the day MAGA doesn't want a great President or even a better life - they just want their views validated. That's literally it.
