It's most likely you are aware of me because of mini wargaming at tabletop battles or have played a Georgia Warband event. https://good-hobby.com/

Personally I don't know any queer Nazis who play paradox games If my man is playing Warhammer and paradox there is a strong chance I'll be friends with her in a few years I still don't understand how I've played and enjoyed Fallout NV, Warhammer, and Paradox games so long and are still a dude.

All nerd hobbies can have the social structure of their communities quantitatively measured with the Q:N (Queer to Nazi) ratio. Pokémon is 8:1. Warhammer is 1:1. Paradox Games are 1:1 but different from Warhammer because the queers and Nazis are the same people.

Cruelty towards trans people is the literal goal of this shit. And if they're successful they will move to what are considered "more acceptable" targets. Gender roles are completely made up and I'd rather have individuals determine the role they present and live in society rather than some werdios

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

Locals know that Lake Lanier is one of the few unspoiled areas to check out in Atlanta! One of the few areas in the south without a problematic history. Dice deep! Locals love to go boating and try to keep this gem a secret. If you're traveling through Atlanta it's a must see spot.

There are at least 3 giraffes living wild in the UK. They went missing from Thrigby Wildlife Park in 1998 and were never found. Two of the giraffes are a breeding pair, so it's possible there's a small population of wild giraffes in the UK now. The giraffes are thought to be living in Fritton Woods.

The people who commented that most of LA isn’t like this, and that I, an ignorant British / East Coaster, know nothing about the city, are quite right. I will only add that Homer almost certainly knew nothing first hand about Ithaca. It was all hearsay and tropes.

So I think that casting bernthal is a bigger red flag. However, Nolan understands movie stars and celebrity so well that he uses your preconceived notions of him to inform the character and then once the twist is shown it makes even more sense that he's just a thug as king.

this is a fair point; if vanessa williams had been cast as (for example) penelope in the 1997 miniseries then perhaps we would have seen some type of contemporaneous racist reaction to that casting

I am mentally exhausted. My job significantly changed in February and I am a valuable employee who is needed to do work. Overall that is a very good thing. However, it means I can't blog, make YouTube videos, or stream, or write about games, or play and paint minis.

This is why The Last Jedi was such a great Star Wars movie and nearly pushed the franchise out of the funk it was in. Rey had nobody for parents and no special connection to anything. And she wasn't the only one as the movie ended on broom boy. At least we got Andor for a hot minute.

I may have ranted about this before, but one trope I am very bored with is people having the Special Genes. Oh, sorry, you can only use magic if you're born with it. Sorry, gotta be Force Sensitive. Oh, sorry, you're either born a dragonrider or you're not one. Booooooring. Done. Tired.

Since we only have 24 hours of soccer talk left in the US I would like to say we should sing the Kinky Friendman "They ain't making Jews like Jesus anymore" at soccer games.
