Where the GOP abandons the old southern strategy republicans over time and transforms into a diverse technocrat bro party, while the Democrats return to being the party of racism, the KKK and sexism and icky mayo white bios and abandons wokeism, DEI, black people, and their old base.

Marsey has been spending a lot of time alone, thinking about things that make her sad. She looks like she's about to cry...

This Marsey is based on one of my favorite Marseys, @X's , which itself is based on a Peach cat animation. And yes, I referenced my own Marsey ().

As usual, I made different variants. I will submit the first 7 for 1750 dramacoin. If you have suggestions, be sure to comment them.

The letters were originally to the left of the Marseys, but I moved them to the right about 6 hours after making the post to make it less confusing for mobile.

I also made sleeping and crying variants that didn't come out the way I wanted. I may or may not submit these. I added J because of @DWHITE___________DYNAMITE.

Are there actual health benefits of drinking more water?

Publicly released: Tue 26 Nov 2024 at 0300 AEDT | 0500 NZDT

We often get told we should drink more water, but US experts say the actual benefits of increasing water consumption are not well established, so they set out to review the evidence that drinking more water is good for you. They found that while there is a limited number of clinical trials, a small number of studies did suggest increasing your water intake has benefits for weight loss and kidney stones. There were also individual studies which they say raise the possibility of benefits for migraine prevention, UTIs, diabetes control, and low blood pressure. They say that given how cheap and safe water is, we should have more well-designed studies to assess the benefits of drinking more water for these conditions.

paper

If you drank water before today, in any amount at all, you are nothing more than a pseudoscience peddling witch doctor twink.

Thank you Neil.

Thank you Bill.

Thank you the other Bill.

Thank you Asian Dude.

WATER IS GOOD FOR YOU TO DRINK

There's DOZENS of people out in the cold....doing something!

On a more serious note, i've been watching a lot of hypocritical history's older videos on the Punic Wars and they're darn good.

I don't care about anything in the war beyond America getting stuff as its rightful clay is the world

BUT a lot of other people, especially other R-SLURRED people, do

On Reddit you see constant fighting and SLAVA UKRAINI and how they do no wrong killing wounded and commit crimes

On Twitter you see ZZZZZ ZZZ ZZ Z ZZ Z

And russia shit when they also kill wounded and commit crimes

It leads to a bunch of armchair generals and sudden hidden genius economists to appear and give their highly educated and totally correct take based literally just on what some guy said.

And the drama pull is so good we got r-slurred here spending hours a day arguing!

Anytime a thread slightly mentions ukraine you see @QuadNarca @WeihnachtenSalvador @fedposter and a bunch of others fight and argue over something an ocean away from them (or whatever the distance India is to Russia for half the spergs)

Even on WPD people are fighting over whose "more moral" and why one is better to make them morally superior despite all the posters being gore freaks.

Now that the war might be nearing an end though, it will be really sad to see the arguing disappear, no more picking fights or watching the most takes

Preamable

In 2016, Democrat Roy Cooper narrowly defeated Incumbent Republican Governor Pat McCroy by 1% in North Carolina - an incredibly impressive result, considering Donald Trump also won the state by roughly 2% at the same time. While McCroy had been a truly awful governor and Cooper's margin was about a ladygarden's hair difference between win and lose, that's still a tremendously impressive result. Cooper even repeated the result in 2020, winning re-election by a respectable 4%, when Trump won the state by 1% again. Term limited, Cooper's impressive record and the state slipping out of Donald Trump's may suggest that North Carolina is becoming a Democratic state - not the case, as seen by the downballot elections. Mark Robinson, a hard right Republican, was nominated as the mostly ceremonial Lieutenant-Governor, and Dale Folwell was the moderate Republican treasurer. Still, the Attorney General Josh Stein was Democrat. North Carolina seems likely to be a new swing state in the new, Trumpian party system.

2024

Roy Cooper, the proven winner, was term limited and couldn't run for re-election. In the Democratic primary, the standard, mainstream liberal and Attorney General Josh Stein won by nearly 70%. In the Republican Primary, the hard right Lieutenant-Governor Robinson beat the relatively moderate Treasurer Dale Folwell by 65%

Literally during the exact same day, audio was leaked by a mysterious Sosh Jtein where Robinson called for a 0 week abortion ban, saying on North Carolinas 12 week ban "I would love to get down to six weeks. And I'd like to get down to zero. I would like to push it back as far as we could and eliminate as many abortions as we can." This is exactly what Republicans want to hear, but when even safe Republican states like Ohio and Montana pass ballot initiatives protecting abortion, is not something you want leaked.

So that's how he started. He started with a scandal that could have cost him the campaign. This is the minor thing. It only gets worse/funnier from here.

The Black White Supremacist

Mark Robinson, described by Trump as "Martin Luther King on steroids", has shown a lot of sympathy for the White Supremacist movement, to the point the only thing that stops me from calling him a White Supremacist is the fact he's black - and I'm still fairly confident he is a White Supremacist.

On 2014, he posted on his facebook account "Note to liberals; I'll accept "Gay Pride" when you accept "White Pride"". Calling for White Pride (a phrase created by George Lincoln Rockwell of the American Nazi Party, directly inspired by the Nation of Islam) is a pretty eyebrow raising statement, but it gets a lot better!

He was probably seething when Drumpf compared him to MLK, because Robinson hates MLK. In his shitty book, he says "December of 2007 was when I joined Facebook. Every political thought I had in my head, I put on there, up to and including my posting photos of Martin Luther King and calling him a communist." So understand that while these posts aren't explicit, he's pretty blunt about not liking him;

"I don't like Communist. No matter what 'color' they are."

"Tomorrow I will do my 'service to the community' by going to work to continue to support myself and my family so I'm not a leach on said community." - on MLK day.

"It is at once funny and sad that so many people will follow the lead of a bunch of atheists and worship an ersatz pastor as a deity."

Pooping on MLK is a really bad look, absolutely a race ender if you're white, but Robinson being black has given him a deflector shield. I wouldn't call him a White Supremacist based on any of this stuff. It's the following remarks he's made on the Civil Rights Movement that convinced me;

: "So many things were lost during the Civil Rights Movement. So many freedoms were lost during the Civil Rights Movement. They shouldn't have been lost. (...) You talk about the sit-in movement. We're in a free market system. So we've got a place called Woolworth in Greensboro that won't serve Blacks at the lunch counter. What do you do? You go down there and you sit at the lunch counter and you demand for these people to take your money. How crazy is that?"

: "The Civil Rights Movement destroyed hundreds of very well-run Black schools. They destroyed Black businesses across the nation."

So you have a man that dislikes MLK, dislikes the civil rights movement and called for White Pride. What a bizarre r-slur... and it gets even better. Like a lot of radicals, he has a fascinating stance on;

Da Joos

With Republicans being the party of Israel while the Democrats try to balance their progressive base and not pissing off AIPAC too much, Robinson has been running a pretty strong platform against anti-semitism. Unfortunately for him, he forgot to delete some "interesting" comments on Jews and Nazis on his public facebook account.

: "I am so sick of seeing and hearing people STILL talk about Nazis and Hitler and how evil and manipulative they were. NEWS FLASH PEOPLE, THE NAZIS (National Socialist) ARE GONE! We did away with them!" (...) Marxist Socialist and communism pose the bigger threat and control the media. After all, who do you think has been pushing this Nazi boogeyman narrative all these years?"

So that's a pretty bad statement to make, but jeeze guys cut him some slack. 2017 was practically a different time. Later that same year;

: "Please STOP wasting my time, your time, and the time of your fellow conservatives talking about, and making mention of, the NAZIS who have been DEAD since 1945."

Well, that's not an awesome thing to have leak when you're trying to look strong on anti-semitism. Still, it could be worse right? 2018;

: "It is absolutely AMAZING to me that people who know so little about their true history and REFUSE to acknowledge the pure sorry state of their current condition can get so excited about a fictional 'hero' created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic marxists. How can this trash, that was only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets, invoke any pride?"

Well, that's really bad. Really bad. Also 2018;

: "The center and leftist leaning Weimar Republic put heavy gun ownership restrictions on German citizens long before the Nazis took power. This foolishness about Hitler disarming MILLIONS of Jews and then marching them off to concentration camps is a bunch of hogwash. Repeating that hogwash makes the conservative argument against the current attempts by liberal Marxist to push Unconstitutional gun control measures in this Nation look FOOLISH."

Did he just call the Holocaust hogswash. He of course, refused to apologise for any of these remarks.

So, those are two pretty massive scandals that would, and from all polls, did cost him the election. But then CNN did some investigative reporting, tracking down what he had been saying on his private accounts. This breaking news, less than 24 hours old, and it's all amazing

Minisoldr, and other tales of Coomerism

A combination of tracking down his alt-user name and his weird phrases like "frog's fat butt", "dunder head" and "gag a maggot", CNN were able to track his porn account on a website called "Nude Africa".

He bragged about peeping on girls as a 14 year old, saying "I came to a spot that was a dead end but had two big vent covers over it! It just so happened it overlooked the showers! I sat there for about an hour and watched as several girls came in and showered (...) I went peeping again the next morning but after that I went back the ladder was locked! So those two times where the only times I got to do it! Ahhhhh memories!!!!"

Like most Republicans, he's a transphobe, and I'm sorry for the Arachnophobe meme posters, but he's the kind of guy that wants to frick spiders;

: "I like watching on girl porn! That's f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in! And yeah I'm a 'perv' too!"

And despite his hardline stance on abortion, he said on Nude Africa; "I don't care. I just wanna see the s*x tape!"

If you had any doubts that he was a black white supremacist, he also made a lot of awesome non-coomer comments on Nude Africa. Quote: "I'm a black NAZI!", mostly unprompted when talking about Black Republicans, "Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it back. I would certainly buy a few.", "I'd take Hitler over any of the shit that's in Washington right now" which in fairness he's under the Obama Administration and Republicans are just like that when Dems are in power - when Reps are in power, Democrats just call them Hitler.

And finally, good old Martin Luther King. What did "Martin Luther King on Steroids" say about MLK on this porn forum for some reason? He said that MLK was a "commie bastard", a "ho-fricking phoney" (in fairness, he was a ho-fricker) and "worse then a maggot" while calling him "Martin Luther Coon", like George Lincoln Rockwell did.

The cherry on top - he is confirmed to have an Ashley Madison account, and an earlier, minor scandal (minor compared to the SHIT he'd get up to), was that he was a regular at a porn store.

The Trump Campaign was allegedly asking Robinson to drop out of the race, but it's too late for that. The NC GOP are stuck with the Black-Nazi-Coomer, with stories so disastrous constantly, as basically ensured that the Democrats will win North Carolina. There has never been a worse non-incumbent candidate - it's known Presidential Candidates affect the "down-ballot", things like the Senate and Gubernatorial races, but Robinson may be the first candidate to affect the up-ballot, making Trump the first Republican to lose North Carolina since Komrade McShame's blowout loss against Barack Obama - that itself being the first time the GOP lost the state since 1976, when Moderate Southern Democrat Jimmy Carter beat Moderate Northern Republican Jerry Ford.

But while Mark Robinson may be so terrible that he'll make North Carolina a full on Blue State in 2024, he'll live on in our hearts forever. He will be /ourgovernor/ - the biggest, dumbest r-slur to ever become successful despite not deserving it even a little.

I don't know who else to tell about this but I feel the need to tell someone. For reference I'm a 25 year old guy who hasn't shit himself since he was a kid. Anyway I got up this morning as usual, left the house to go to work and as I was approaching the train I felt the sudden urge to shit. I searched around for a cafe or something with a bathroom I could use but couldn't find anything. It happened in that moment of complete defeat. For a split second I thought I was farting, but no. Naturally I ran home as fast as I could, trying to hold my pants up as much as I could for fear of the shit (diarrhea) dripping further down my legs, and washed up, washed as much off of my butt, pants, thermal underwear, underwear and sweatpants I was wearing under my regular pants to protect myself from this horrible NYC cold. I texted my boss saying I "had a problem at home" and was gonna be about 45 min late. I put all my dirty clothes in a trash bag and will do laundry when I get home tonight.

I kinda need help coming up with an excuse for being late. I don't really know what to say and I do not want to tell them what actually happened.

how bad is your diet if you shit yourself as an adult

"We can confirm that the aircraft involved in tonight's incident was an Army UH-60 helicopter from Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, out of Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir during a training flight," JTF-NCR media chief Heather Chairez stated.

This was out like, I dunno, 24 hours ago. But you closet chasers just don't care about a story until there's a in it, do you?

The 12th Aviation Battalion (part of The Army Aviation Brigade, TAAB) now operates Davison AAF and the Pentagon helicopter pad. The battalion's 18 UH-60 Blackhawks including 4 VH-60 models ("Gold Tops") is responsible for priority regional transport for US Army and Pentagon senior leadership.

I'm unironically disappointed with you f-slurs. This is so stupid. It was disproven before anybody even claimed. You didn't hear that though, because you didn't care about people dying. You just cared if there was involved.

This is mental illness and it's not the fun kind of mental illness, it's the pathetic kind where their brain doesn't work.

It's absolutely fricking pathetic that your kind will say people aren't "patriotic" enough if they don't lick JD Vance's balls but apparently none of you, not a single fricking one, knows the most basic thing about how the Army works.

I wanted to make a betting thread about it but I don't even know what the options would be since he can't be sentenced to prison and I can't imagine the court is allowed to be like you are fined for a gazillion dollars

Speculate wildly itt

US don't give Ukraine any security assurances but will support security assurances. It means if France gives security assurances to Ukraine, US will say good job.

Ukraine won't be forced to pay any debts to Ukraine but will pay goodwill sum as way to thanks US for all the help.

Ukraine will pay US from profit. This is a big thing since those minerals ain't worth 500 billions after all the explicit and implicit cost. Those resources ain't easy to get so a lot of capital and labour cost.

If resources are the goal then there are tons of better countries or artic where US and Russia agreed to co operate. Ukraine resources probably would be sold at lost next 50 years minimum.

But key part of that deal is the "other" Ukraine will give its infrastructure like ports in U.S. control

Here the deal chronology. Zelenskyy thought Trump is business man so he can frick him over and drag him into the conflict if he offers some arbitrary resources (those resources is what some Soviet researchers assumed is there 60 years ago) for security assurances.

He offered that deal to Trump and Trump told he will give support for assurance and Ukraine will pay debts and Zelenskyy told ok it's a deal. When he talked with some of his lawyers, they explained to him how Trump actually fricked him over so that's why Zelenskyy started bitching about no deal. But since Ukraine is super dependent on US he started to beg to remove debts part so now it's goodwill

And that's kids example why most politicians have laws degree and not political degree

And best part Zelenskyy came to US to sign that deal that would mean to cancel that deal he will need to open an US court

Why did Zelenskyy thought he can frick over a guy that wants him gone…

Zelenskyy has 3 enemies Porochenko, Zaluzhnyy and Trump

One guy shits on the game after full playthrough

https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/1gp2i2b/dav_act_3_spoilers_alright_i_just_completed_the/

=====

Does anyone really think this is good writing? I am flabbergasted honestly. I posted a rant a couple days ago complaining about some things but I have come back with more. After 60 hours of playing and doing a 100%. I'm just disappointed.

1. I just don't understand what this game is supposed to be, a decade for what? To find out it's some spoky creepy illuminati working in shadows to destroy the world/evanuris? I have no idea. As soon as I saw the epilogue with Loghain, it solidified my experience with this game. Bioware can't write for shit anymore. Might be my personal opinion but why does there always need to be a greater evil, why is it evil at all? Solas was a great example, I didn't think he was evil in Inquisition, just someone faced with impossible odds and terrible choices. Someone driven by guilt. I could understand that.

2. And that last bit of the game took one of the most complex and beautifully written villains, and turned him into a puppet?? Loghain no longer has any deeper motivations for his betrayal, fueled by trauma and loss. Nah. He had no say. Frick that.

3. And who was writing the emotional dialogue here, how am I supposed to take anyone seriously when most of the companions reactions to something traumatic is idk, shit, that's tough, oof... What the heck man....

4. Speaking of dialogue why the frick am I so supportive of everyone, I can't even call out someone for being stupid, like Lucanis for sparing Ilario??? Dude, this man is responsible for most of the destruction in your city???

5. While I'm talking about companions, I felt like I was surrounded by children all the darn time. What is up with all the darn picnics, Darvin had like 4 and Emmerich and Harding were having an "argument" (ooh drama) about how many books they were gonna bring on their little outing... There are moments when these characters shine bright with their stories and pain, and then, you show me they're actually just very dumb and I can't call it out.

6. It all seems like it was supposed to be a dnd game, because I'm constantly reminded by that DnD movie with a Chris. Which was fun but it ain't Dragon Age. In an effort to create something new, they made the established lore and factions feel like caricatures.

7. And why are there so many factions? Because it just drags the game down. There's no reason for them to be there. Mourn Watchers and Lords of Fortune, what the heck was the point of them here, the game could have been fine without them. And apparently everyone has beef with the gods and we arrive just in time to clean up the mess. But somehow in certain situations like the griffins being kidnapped at the very beginning of the game don't get to be blighted until the very end and again, we came just at the right time! Lucky!

8. Last time I also mentioned why are some factions allied with the gods. Like Venatori, and everyone says well they know he's Lusacan. And yeah that'd be fine, if most of them still didn't call him Elgar'nan! And he's right there with his pointy ears, and they're all like frick yeah Tevinter supremacy brah!! I'd think most of them would be facing an existential crisis, their gods are not dragons but filthy knife ears, how can this be?! The rest would be in denial. All in all, this is stupid.

There's just so much wrong with this game and so little that's right. Dragon Age got Game of Thrones'd, because this is exactly like season 8. Just shit on everything and be done with it.

At least I gotta congratulate them for releasing a full game, without any EA bullshit. But still 10 years of a wait, and I would be glad it's finally over... BUT APPARENTLY NOT!!

So yeah, goodbye Dragon Age, David Gaider was carrying you hard.

=====

also they cry because the concept art was by order of magnitude better than the clearly deliberate fuglification of the soys

https://old.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/1gp2i2b/dav_act_3_spoilers_alright_i_just_completed_the/lwn69r6/?context=8

"you think it's bad now, just wait until you see the artbook and what we could have gotten but they decided to scrap. It's so stupid how when they got permission to go back to making a single player game they didn't pick up where they left off and decided to instead rework the entire story/style and make something shallow. The past version of the game is what everyone expected this game to be, even our worldstate mattered.
