Nietzsche speaks of this btw

No I haven't read any of his works either

Your skin and very flesh is sloughing off your bones? Yeah that's just a hang nail kiddo we used to get them all the time back in my day

randomly reading the nikke wiki for NPCs and - uh - spoilers?

I AM STILL IN CHAPTER 10 I DIDNT KNOW SYUEN GETS TURNED INTO A FUCKING NIKKE AND JOINS OUR SQUAD BRUH

[mrboatfacegachahell]

related comments btw. realest stuff i've seen on the comment section of a fandom wiki

[mrboatfacegachahell]

ok so, without having gotten into chapter 24 yet myself and reading the wiki only,

they cant actually force syuen to be turned into a nikke but it's a decision Enikk (the judge of the ark) takes in order to scare syuen so so much she'd bend over backwards to help you and oh my god. that's so funny. i think she deserves to be turned into a nikke considering how she treats them lol

[bretonnianknight]

Fucking tourists

Quick question, Syuen. If people aren't intended to want to fuck Nikke, why do they always end up being made to look like extremely attractive women?

"You have more confidence in yourself if you're attractive. Nikke are said to feel more 'comfortable' in their idealized image, so that may contribute."

"Personally, I ensure that all Missilis Industry Nikke are as beautiful as they are efficient. If I must surround myself with them, then they might as well be pleasing to my eye."

[bretonnianknight]

Fun fact there's some old year 1 material discussing this. Syuens nikkes have the bare minimum to avoid a mindswitch on a good day, tetra makes their girls near perfect, and Ingrids girls are good enough that they won't suffer a mind switch if they get injured and another nikke sees it.

I laughed to hard at this fucking thing.

Hegseth Personally Nixed Black and Female Officers’ Promotions

A new report confirms that a recent, conspicuously white and male promotion list was no accident.

Edith Olmsted at TNR:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is continuing his discriminatory campaign to remake the U.S. military in his image. Last month, a list of nearly two dozen one-star promotions included no women and only two nonwhite officers. On Monday, The New York Times was able to reveal exactly how that happened. Hegseth personally intervened to block the promotion of several senior Navy officers, including at least two female officers and two Black male officers, four current and former defense officials told the paper.  

This is not the first time Hegseth has moved to block or delay the promotion of female and Black military officers. He did the same thing to Army officers in March, and has reportedly thwarted the advancements of more than one dozen female and Black officers across the Army, Air Force, Navy, and the Marines.  [...] Pentagon rules say that the secretary can only block promotions if there is an issue related to a service member’s fitness to lead—not their identities, or whatever other problem Hegseth seems to have with them. 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has a vendetta against Black and women officers by denying Black and women officers their overdue promotions in various military branches.

studying cell biology and liking the asari is like the number one best combo of a serious headache.

how do you make babies with your nervous systems? how does the ardat yakshi disease work? how do you meld with someone? I NEED DETAILED STEPS

and everytime i think i just came up with the most genius headcanon i just realise halfway through that it's bullshit 😭

[weatherman667]

Basically BioWare telling us early on that Biotics are not Psychics, and then trying desperately trying to come up with a way for Asari to not be space psychics.

Nevermind the Rachni and Reapers.

[mag-agenttorture]

You're not really meant to think about it so hard, just accept it as it's given to you.

What you're meant to take seriously is how the characters act and interact with you, and each other.

[weatherman667]

Mass Effect is lucky it's characters are as great as they are.

Or I would have given up after Arrival.

[mag-agenttorture]

Honestly, yeah, that's the big low point for me. Even lower than Cerberus and Illusive Man completely throwing their lots in with the Reapers.

[weatherman667]

To play the third game, I have to ignore the primary plot, primary villain, his dragon, and the goddamn fucking dream of that one random boy when Kaiden's bodies got nuked on Virmire to protect me.

The gameplay is great, and the character stories are fantastic. So fantastic that it actually makes it worth it to play the third game.

[bretonnianknight]

Now that I'm actually, finally, playing the first game, I can understand this conversation.

[leoreturns-deactivated20110811]

I have been waiting all year to post this.

[tumboner]

omg

[merspers]

This has been in my queue for months.

[mcgooglykins]

I missed it last year and I vowed that would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

[thatsoundsprettynice]

YES

[xbstnmnr-deactivated20241116]

omg i didnt reblog this last year!

[bretonnianknight]

I queued this for an entire year

[bretonnianknight]

And time to do so again

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

it's really funny how the entire world basically just blew the fuck up six short years ago and nobody wants to admit that that may have had some lasting consequences lmao

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

like so much of Everything today is premised on the idea that the earth-shattering catastrophe which happened within living memory of everyone older than a third grader has had no meaningful material or psychological effects on the general public and i don't think that's good, lol.

"(some of) the top-line economic indicators (sorta) recovered (in most places) so everything is fine and we don't need to talk about it" is not a sustainable framework for interfacing with reality

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

"why is everyone so angry and paranoid now?" "why is politics so dysfunctional now?" "why is [x] [y] and [z] now? blah blah blah"

2020:

[greater-than-the-sword]

Maybe because everyone knew that the lockdowns were gonna have long lasting consequences, and that was one of the biggest arguments against them, but everyone in charge just said, "nuh uh", and those people are mostly still in charge and want to pretend their decisions were good

FASCIST DOWN

VIKTOR ORBAN HAS CONCEDED THE HUNGARIAN ELECTION

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

If he were such a fascist he wouldn't have conceded you pitiable halfwit

[mornington-the-crescent]

"Fascist", here defined as, "to the right of Stalin".

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

"Fascist down", but the guy who replaced him immediately suspended the press because they were saying bad things about him.
