Yeah, I think that's exactly right: The truth value of what he says does not feature in his thought process, just whether it's emotionally compatible with his vain, combative mind. It's why he can lie and somehow still be genuine

Bit of columns A and B? Not crazy to me that she has fans in the current admin who are happy to bend her ear, and some of those people are looking to stab other people in the back

I think whether or not a statement is true is secondary to his thought process. It's about whether it feels emotionally right to his deeply vain and combative mind. He feels like he was cheated in 2020, and says so. Whether or not that happened isn't important-- he still means it.

The magic and menace of Trump is that he means what he says. The media keeps trying to find some other explanation for his statements and parse his nonsense because it all seems too preposterous to be true, but nope-- that's the man. He is who he appears to be.

Remember how Cain killed Abel for an Isu artifact and became the first Templar? We gotta get that game.

Once he believes something, it never leaves him. His brain is grooved like a vinyl record

You add increasing amounts of tape underneath the space bar to reduce the clackiness and give it a nice firm sound. Not hard to do at all

Nuphy gang arise! Have you done any modding? My spacebar sounds 1000x better after adding some tape to it

At a certain point Pratchett started wanting to explore the development of Discworld, and Rincewind was always more of a tourist than an agent of societal change

Another great spicy setting would be the early wars of the Reformation. At first you ally yourself with Luther, until he turns on the peasants and Jewry.

A lot of this is the treatment they've gotten in the Hours Heresy, which is now their biggest lore. I read the Space Wolves omnibus before the Heresy started, and they were less-obviously Vikings and more nuanced. But then you read the Heresy and their primarch is just this huge weird asshole

A great part of the English literary tradition, and economy at this point

Feels like the fandom is increasingly powered by people who take it seriously, which only leads to GW producing new content that is even funnier

Somewhat depends on the quality of education, I think. Mine made me think that work later in life was going to be miserable and overwhelming. When I went on to work with homeless young adults, that same belief was one of the things that made it hard for them to find jobs that would have helped them.

I keep wrestling with this profound vibe I get from them of 'nothing matters.' But I think I've realized what matters to me is the well-being and treatment of people, and there's very little left in their ideology that has anything to do with that anymore.

Wait, is their whole thing pretending to be disgruntled Park Service employees to push a digital storefront?

Would prefer not to have them up here. Maybe we could send them somewhere else. Possibly Birobidzhan
