@Amthyre_ @idk_600z @IGN I've read the first seven witcher books all more than once (embarrassingly). Between 3 and 7 Geralt and Ciri both share a protagonist role, and in some of the books Ciri's plotline is more substantial and important to the story than Geralt's. I havent seen the show though.

@idk_600z @IGN While it was okay to switch and play as Ciri during Witcher III, nobody wants her to be the main protagonist except for those that think she is the main character or like watching female buts in games. People want Geralt. Not Geralt being bossed by Ciri and Yennefer.

CD Projekt has announced a third expansion to The Witcher 3, called Songs of the Past. bit.ly/4dHQPAB

@980Viking @cnnbrk @MargoinWNC EVEN IF he's found not guilty for the murder charges, he has a 27 year state sentence for financial crimes, and a 40 year federal sentence for financial crimes that's running concurrently to the first.

@cnnbrk @MargoinWNC So if they find him not guilty, does the government buy back all his shit that was sold off?

@DovySimuMMA @davidsenra There was a JRE episode where he was discussing trump's awful and wildly unpopular policies where Rogan admitted Dana pressured him into having Trump on the show and publicly endorsing him. Dana is getting the better end of this partnership.

@JamesTheNew123 @uncrownedcombat Many years later the 13 year old got a book job hoping he's notice her and asks if she can stay at his place while she comes down from the medication. He then has sex with her, tearing the still healing stitches, causing her to bleed and not stopping

@JamesTheNew123 @uncrownedcombat Yes. He abuses his father as a teen and threatens to kill his mother. He tortures animals for fun, castrating piglets and then gutting them alive to throw the organs at a kid he's bullying. He brags about how he made out with a 13 year old when he was in college

Once a champ, always a champ – even with 9.5 fingers 😅 Wishing Matt Hughes a quick recovery.

@Ganndeland @atrupar This is just to say...in this case we really are pushing the limits lol

@Ganndeland @atrupar In '81 Reagan became the oldest person to become president at 69. He served two terms and left the office clearly rapidly declining. Trump was 70 for his first term. Biden was 78 for his first term. Trump was 78 starting this term but older than Biden when he started.

a very confused Trump: "I could with one swipe of the pen say, 'Let's have no employment,' and I'll hire a million people or two million people and we'll have absolutely no employment."

@gaha_m_a What remains of Hadrian's Wall in Britain today looks like an unimpressive chest high wall, but is apparently the remnants of a more impressive structure involving trenches, obstacles, gatehouses and towers. Is this remnant of China's wall possibly the same?

@bilbosfootcomb Idk, Fuentes being a warrior might be funnier to me. I saw a clip where he went to a gym for the first time and hated the mild soreness he got so much, he actively tried to convince his fans that working out is for low class losers

The funniest part of this is that Theo Von’s real name (the one they labeled as having “peasant” physiognomy) is Theodor Capitani von Kurnatowski III. “Von” is a German title of nobility and Theo is quite literally a member of a German/Polish noble family.

@MarkedAsRed Way back in the day Finland had a super disproportionately large presence on the /international/ board on 4chan. Not sure what it is but they seem to like image boards.

The Reddit Belt.

@chiweethedog Pretty sure the first clip i ever saw of this person was a worker in a gym saying she wasn't allowed to livestream there, and her telling the worker that they don't have the right to tell her to stop because that's preventing her from being able to make a living

We need an ultimate resolution to the streamer question

@leanpockets @PalantirTech Compares himself to Jesus* Sorry folks ^_^!!!!

@leanpockets @PalantirTech They named their company after a magic ball a malicious demon uses to mind break free people, and they're allied to a president with a god complex who compares himself to Trump and lives in a giant black tower in Manhattan with his name on it

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

@JesterThomas69 @2gay2lift Where do you get these numbers? Something like 9% of Poland was Jewish before ww2, and something like 20% of the national population was killed. Tens of millions of Soviets were killed in the war..including many jews and civilians. Not everyone died in a camp...

@2gay2lift Youre right adam. Why would gas chambers have wooden doors? And how could human nails leave scratches on concrete walls if they lack the sufficient hardness on mohs scale. In fact, didnt the red cross only list a 271,000 decline in jewish population...

I'm sorry, but there's just not enough evidence for that genocide. Too many inconsistencies. Love the bible, btw

@FangYi11101 @chiweethedog Yeah. There's literally people out there who will talk about how Apu from the Simpsons is a harmful stereotype and then brag about how they helped burn down Muslim homes and businesses in the 2013 riots

my heart goes out to everyone adjusting to life without a servant caste

@LetsTread @PunishedFredda The Life and Times of Judge Holden, perhaps

@PunishedFredda I’m sure the sources on this are gonna be “The Personal Memoir of Colonel Murderjoy” and “Jesuit Notes from Father Molesto”

Matt Walsh' "Real History" is so fucking awesome there was one citation that looked odd so I looked it up and he's deadass citing the presentation notes of a presenter at a geology conference as a source on the history of Greek slavery

@reverse_faults @Targ_Nation Do you know what a coincidence is? I doubt they put "should look like Caligula" in a casting call.

@VinlandSloth @Targ_Nation "I know it's likely a coincidence" well there are these people called casting directors...

the casting for the lannisters in game of thrones was crazy cause every single member of the family was like the best actor you've ever seen in your life

@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl Don't be melodramatic. There's always ww2 content coming out, not only in anglophone countries but from European countries as well. Then you have WW2 adjacent material like Godzilla Minus 1 which is kind of about ww2 just like the original was.

I feel like we've reached the end of WW2 movies. All of the interesting stories have been told. Now we get movies about black women sorting mail in England and the meteorologist that did the weather forecast for D-Day.

@ElbuenEchoes I was pretty sad when I saw this season was only 10 episodes. These episodes are pretty much the interlude between the exam arc snd the next long and important arc. People are going to love that one...the villain was already shown this season, too, although briefly.

Probablemente sea yo, pero siento que no se esta hablando de la nueva temporada de Frieren como se habló de la primera
