I got to lovecrafian and was sold, I do enoy any journeys into cosmic horror, from a toe dip to what the freaking hell. Still working my way through his stories but From the Mouth of Madness was a favourite movie growing up but I couldn’t quite place why. Then I discovered cosmic horror and had that ‘ahhhh ding’ (holy choir going ahhhhh then ding at the realization second with a light shining…okay I watch a lot of tv and movies). sort of experience.

Also did not realize there was a movie, but I think I’ll end up doing some novel experience before the movie. Been burned way too much the other route and they spoil the best parts for the worst take on the story usually. If not the same here, well it’ll be fun for a change of the movie being a better storytelling (unless I misread / understood the comment sorry reading quickly)

Thanks for the comment I’ll definitely be checking it out one of multiple ways for sure.

I should really read that if it’s the first part. I knew it existed but nothing else till now. Do enjoy the Dune novels for their philosophy bits (mostly as intro to a chapter as an idea but you can see the ideas used in the actual story sometimes or perhaps all the time and I missed some)

I’ll be honest I wasn’t quite getting the comments cause I didn’t think the middle ages had nearly as clean sheets even being a king…yeah read the same way. Makes way more sense now.

He’s not giving any prizes back for sure, they’re all for him to play with. Like South Park when Cartman gets the RC truck and makes Kyle watch while he plays. Think it’s the hippy episode, oh that’s a good one and been awhile too.

It’s worse than that, no one (well that he doesn’t hang with) are even people to Trump. They’re devices to toy with and to his delight and give him power over a soon to be known as an ex great natiion. We can quibble about the great part but no denying they were a respected entity, now they’re a laughing stock. Least they paid lip service to being better before.

Though they’re not really EU anymore at least. Unless I’m missing something? Like yes Europe but not EU.

I really hope Canada can be part of that union, our landmass isn’t overly strong democraticly (due to certain neighbors effing things up) though it’d be an awesome middle finger to the US if Mexico could join as well. Oh look you’re surrounded by people not in your coolition, funny how that happens when you decide to be a complete asshole eh?

Let’s bring everyone up that we can, even if we get used to less because we all have to live on this planet may as well work together…that’s a pipe dream I know but wouldn’t it rock if we all found out how to get along, share and communicate? Again if only.

Mean I get lots of changes need to happen to make that a possibility but not like we don’t have time to work things out and figure out how we can all prosper.

Okay I’m a geek but sometimes I think ‘what would Superman think?’. And usually leads to a better outcome. Okay to be fair never done it myself, but I thought of it often when some democratic country made decisions and … What with the big S think? I would not want to be on the side of that ‘democratic’ country, and lets me understand their actions suck balls.

Yes I know it’s fiction but when the best hero you can think of does the opposite of some country’s actions, what can you think of such country?

Truth, justice, the American Way. Used to mean something, now that t means, I got mine have fun getting yours.

Oh burning more fuel, you having a laugh mare?

Seriously anyone who thinks more carbon in the atmosphere is going to help may as well be in the loony bin.

Also sorry as a Canadian this idiot got vaulted to the world stage. He’s a moron as far as I can tell.

I’m just nobody though,but who can understand impact of climate change and the harm we’re doing to our world. So piss off with that idea until it produces a way to run without impacting our environment. If somehow you can then hats off to ya, I’d say I’d eat my hat but I really don’t want to and I’m a man of my word.

Mean I’d like to say worse and don’t expect anything but if somehow it can be better than thank them all. If not, fuck off for the advertisement I’ve seen enough commercials.

Least this timeline has taught us you can believe what you want and it’ll be true even if it you’re dying. I really hate that part to be fair.

Though unsure why vids are needed, we all make weird noises and faces doing the nasty. Like that would be that out there, how I met your mother even had a joke last season about a possible hookup sounding like a siren, he had to hear it from his room which made it amusing but not as amusing as early series jokes.

John Roberts gaslights nation from the supreme court.

No no we’re not partisan you’re just looking at it wrong. Not like we twisted our arguments and disregard any precedent so our donors…I mean fellow citizens have proper rulings. Oh nice RV Clearance I hope I get the upgraded one.

Holy crap that RV was worth $270k in 1999? Damn…and that long ago. I hadn’t really read up on the story I thought the RV thing was more recent and well not as much as my townhouse was 10 years ago.

Also the Democrat that was raided (yesterday?) who led the redistricting initiative in VA. They’ll do more of that for the tiniest thing going forward to make them seem less trustworthy and get people voting Republican. The whole system is pretty much shot for the usual and given how finicky and uninformed the US voters are (as a whole) they’ll falll for any tiny thing. They already put a convicted felon in the white house after the whole COVID thing that he was in charge of (and possibly responsible for due to his disbanding the pandemic team in China) his first term.

There was a news story some time ago about Trump administration meeting with separatists. It’s been longer than ‘now’. At this point the US is an easily convinced extension of Russia, not there point for point but close enough for the major things, like those silly oil sanctions being temporarily relieved recently.

At this point the US is basically an adversary but we have to tiptoe around it cause when they don’t get value from Iran they’ll be looking for some military victory beyond Cuba. So we have to fondle their leader’s balls a bit to fluff him up regularly. Thankfully it’s relatively simple to change his direction of thoughts but sure when daddy Putin reminds him of their blackmail he’ll fall in line eventually. Just have to stretch out the time long enough.

Hopefully the courts figure out any separatism isn’t legally possible, especially with first Nation treaties in place and it gets shut down.

Mean I do hope he doesn’t follow through, every decision he spews out makes things worse.But yes he’s a bully so out of his league he’d need to be in another galaxy colouring with crayons while adults had their talk.

Unfortunately he sends people that are at coloured pencil level to make the deal, while actual deals are made by artists of their trade. Unsure how apt my metaphors are but think it gets the point across, hell I barely have social skills and can’t imagine what blunders the US team had made…beyond bombing their contacts, not understanding the offer, and well…I think I read a comment on here once, Jared always looks wet, like you can moisten a cloth on him even in the middle east with zero humidity, at noon, in the sun. That’s just unnerving like a good X-files episode.

Unfortunately true evil types seem to live forever. I imagine the money helps. Most people would probably have passed by his lifespan. He gets a the 'fish delights ’ he wants already ao can only hope they do their work. I’d hope the stress would work but since he doesn’t bother with caring not much hope there.

Pretty much, see that shit? It’s being disturbed by Russia. They’re professional shit disturbers, they can’t be successful on their own so doing their best to bring everyone down to their level. Oddly if they didn’t do such crap I imagine they could be brought up to decent level and be liked. But nope, not Russian tactics.

Ya know Russia if you had better leaders, you could be accepted and everyone helps everyone else like a good worldwide society. We could all win as people and grow as a species.

Awful teacher even if they had questions no one would know, cause maybe they had a prodigy in their class or maybe someone that studied that subject to death, that’s a horrible outcome for the kid who got all questions correct.

I guess you could go Farnsworth route and say penmanship counts. (Futurama joke). Though at a certain age range that’s not really applicable I guess it depends the grade level for my annoyance at that teacher I’ll probably forget it in a moment anyways. Still awful teacher if they got all questions correct, and wasn’t a trick one in there.

Edit forgot to add also if the work showed all steps of logic (usually math but sure you get what I mean). No one learning should be denied a perfect score if they learned it is all.

Been years since I played dragon age but as soon as I hear enchantment it’s in that voice, or think of Dragon Age. I recall the rest being really good but unsure if I actually finished it or just restarted a few times. Also didn’t care for the dream / magic area bit, but most games seem to have some area that’s not well enjoyed that’s feels like a slog, especially RPG.

Exactly, oh our goals don’t align with your for economy? Well fuck that. The US showed us how valued we are as an ally and trading partner. If they want something we shouldn’t be altering our trade needs based on the whims of an orange turd. The leader who managed to spend all of the US soft power in a year because he wasn’t stroked enough. They can piss off.

Also not like it’s all his ideas but people who have power over the administration pushing it. Yes let’s give those billionaires more power in negotiations. I would so rather be a part of the EU, mean not just cause of this I felt my ideals fit closer to EU than this system we’ve been locked in cause we’re next door to the US., but because being a partner of fascism is not right.

Oh I agree, though many people lived through it back then and I would think they’re stronger than most these days for handling it. Just don’t think it was so attractive as OP put it is all. First bit of rdr2 was a blizzard scene unless Im misremembering, that alone would weed out a ton if they couldn’t handle things.

Well for scotch and Irish whisky, (wait thought scotch either added or removed the last e but I doubled checked something else and lost a message already, maybe it was a UK vs NA thing I dunno anymore)

But apparently the scotch industry is the biggest buyer of Kentucky’s bourbon barrels. What do you know, random sweeping tariffs impact tiny industries that are big for the red states.

Funny it took the King of Canada (well also Britain) to get Trump to change his mind.

Mean actual kings know diplomacy and statecraft, I bet King Charles did it at best over Hors d’oeuvres to leave important issues for a proper time. That was probably a footnote in something to bring up. But pour a tiny bit of honey in his ear and Trump will dance like one of those symbol dancing monkeys. I think Iran is figuring out how to phrase their demands correctly.

It’ll be like the chimpokomon episode of South Park, oh your penis so big! Then Trump will be fine with whatever they offer.
