As a young man I worked in a bookstore and when I discovered the amount of smut in romance novels it was pretty shocking.
Then I read the Claiming of Sleeping Beauty.
I was not prepared for that.

Literally being used as an intensifier bothers me less than inflammable meaning both flammable and not flammable.


Back in the late 80s they were pretty legit.


Mostly because the model is incapable of experiencing remorse or any other emotion or thought.


Maybe they will ask their fans if they have phones.


I haven’t noticed anything like this online. I only one time saw a woman post in a MSM community and it was to ask a question, which was fine.
Don’t stick your dick in crazy.


He should have caught the aggravated assault charge for shooting at Joss’ husband too. Bexar county though.


AOW4 being the one exception for me.


I didn’t actually finish the 7.0 MSQ (I quit shortly after the awful “western” storyline), but the actual writing was painfully bad at every point leading up to that. For example, the way we know Wuk Lamat has grown as a person is because they say “Wuk Lamat has really grown through this adventure”. Most characters appear to have the motivation of dong things because the plot needs it to happen.
Finally, the prior expansions had strong themes, from Heavensword’s take on cyclical violence, SB talking about oppression and so on. Dawntrail doesn’t seem to have anything to say (or maybe it’s all at the end, idk). It was just really disappointing and I just couldn’t deal with it. It’s like it was written for children except it deals with dark themes. Like the worst of the YA section.
By contrast, I was a blubbering mess at points in ShB and EW. Especially the 5.3 stuff, holy shit.


And then turns to garbage at the 400 hour mark. Dawntrail actually made me quit due to some of the worst writing I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing in a game. Serious whiplash coming off the fourth expansion.


They have 93% of the market, they don’t care about people who use Windows.


Mine is the rotator cuff - and I already had arthritis in that shoulder so now I am a human barometer. Fun party trick. I am punished for not doing my dailies but I do different stuff every other day. I suspect I will never regain full mobility in that shoulder - and it’s my dominant arm too. Wear and tear, I guess.


Been in PT for the last 4 months due to my inability to remain 28 forever so I will let you know when I figure it out.


Yes, that is the social fabric breaking down. The answer is going to be basically Lord of the Flies. Imagine Hurricane Katrina but all over the country.


It’s relatively simple to imagine what happens. Starving people will do anything to not starve, if food is in that store over there, they will loot it. This quickly results in a spiral of unrest as the social fabric starts to unravel. The longer it goes on the harder it becomes to correct it. You can’t just turn the food faucet back on, the stores are looted and destroyed and shipments aren’t coming in. The logistics of feeding people becomes increasingly complicated and difficult and local law enforcement become overwhelmed. The military gets called in but unless they bring food with them, it is unlikely to successfully stabilize the situation - again, starving people will do anything to not starve.
It’s a hugely stupid move to withhold food from a significant segment of your population - a key component of bread and circuses is the bread.


Only the most foolish autocrat would starve his own populace.

One of the chief architects of our current fascist state, only fighting against it when it became clear he was not going to be in charge of it. A vile person who exploited American grief in order to profiteer on the deaths of millions. Fuck him and good riddance.
You really don’t. Whatever you are imagining, it’s more than that.
Now imagine reading it as a 19-year old who grew up without the internet.
