You have insulted me and my people with this offer 😡 (unless you add 3 gold/turn)

An excruciating number, yes

What do you say if you want the trees up?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Okay, you’re coming in a little hot there. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m not deflecting anything. I’m saying that pointing out that there are issues in Australia does not absolve the fact that there are issues in the US. I’m literally only pointing out that it is, in fact, whataboutism. That’s it. I haven’t even touched on the issues themselves, so whatever persona you’ve painted on me and are clearly so passionate about is in your head only.

?

There are issues in America

Whatabout Australia?

Yes.

Some people are really weird when it comes to things being “fair.” I forget the details but I remember a study where given the option of getting $100 and a stranger getting $200, a good chunk of people would rather neither of them get anything.

Flowers are the real invasive species there. Unchecked those fuckers just go.

Shit, I was gonna say I’m partial to buffalo chicken, but bánh mì is pretty damn good too

They do with that attitude

Unless they’re responsible for a crime, then suddenly they’re a faceless abstraction, and you can’t charge those with anything silly!

Also because electric brushes don’t brush for you. You still use them the same way as a regular toothbrush, they just clean better.

I guess that depends on your definition of “safe”

Also who wants to visit now? Now sucks.

NSFD(ucks)

It’s been a while so I don’t remember anything concrete, but I remember characters being described with a strange amount of detail in racial or ethnic features, like height or nose shape. I don’t think he ever explicitly describes any race as superior to others, but some of the passages felt like it was going to devolve into some weird analysis of skull dimpling or something.

I really enjoyed Ender’s Game, but even while reading you can tell there’s some weird racist shit going on in Orson Card’s head.

Ah yes, I forgot about that time Churchill bombed a German music festival and raped the survivors.

See, that’s the exact kind of whataboutism I’m talking about. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and frankly I suspect the only reason you give a shit is because hating Israel is such a hot tankie talking point right now.

Let me guess, Palestine needs to throw off its oppressors, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a totally justified military operation?

Oh fuck off with that hexbear lemmygrad shit. I’m not talking about war as some nebulous concept, I’m saying raping and killing civilians is bad regardless of if you’ve been wronged or not. If that’s a controversial opinion to you, I have nothing more to discuss.
