Feel really bad for any women posting photos of themself on twitter right now and anyone who has ever posted photos of their kids. Things are about to get much worse for everyone.

Even games that are, ostensibly, based on a fantasy Europe feature this, such as Warhammer, which has very large, dangerous forests, mountains and assorted wastes in or bordering the not-quite-holy Empire and Bretonnia for beastmen and elves and goblins to lurk in

Universities are already giving staff burner phones and blank laptops for conferences in the US. This will lead to them just advising staff not to travel and kill international conferences in the US

The issue there is which Irish? Plenty of mythmaking about being descended from the OG neolithic Irish settlers, and in general, all invaders/settlers are seen as inherently foreign unless it serves a nationalistic message (they rebelled!) And you have Travellers too as an indigenous ethnic minority

But it's presented as a bad, undesireable thing, right? Like the cursed belt of gender swapping in AD&D

I remember reading the one about the corporate road warriors and thinking 'this is satire, but on some level, this dude clearly believes some of this stuff too.'
Can't offhand think of anyone in Altered Carbon books resleeved in a different gender body... maybe a villain?

Isn't part of the problem also career prospects suffer regardless of compensation, at least in the private sector? And also failure to pair up to begin with

There is a particular smell in the morning where we live on the edge of Turku, older houses often burning in the morning.
We have wood and a fire, but it's just an emergency thing now so we can survive if something happens to the grid

Interesting to see Finland as a laggard, but debt and loans are dirty words here, unsuprising to see Ireland just not bother

And its not even competetive, I think. Some local maniac decides they'd like to have a go, no one else cares, so they get in. Incidentally how our class rep in the student union was 'elected'.

I see bits and pieces of this, often in relation to big forestry or the S/K chains, but is there a good source to dig in deeper? Searching in English doesn't seem to get me anywhere. Interested especially in how big incumbent players might use lobbying against new entrants

But austerity and high unemployment will only increase this sentiment, in my opinion. Argument goes why should we bring in people who don't speak Finnish when local people can't get jobs and benefits are cut? In Ireland the lack of housing or service places fuels similar rhetoric

Once you concede ground and say 'I don't agree with everything but they make a good point about X' you are in danger of sliding further and further right due to peer effects and defensiveness I think. 'Now look what you made me do' discourse very common among 'more moderate' right

Yeah - Nell clearly benefits from it, the original girl... drops out and becomes an artist instead of a ruthless capitalist or something, the Mouse Army kick ass and also choose their own destiny instead of whatever neo-Confucian-BS roles they were groomed for. But it has been a while

Exactly. But Ireland both was and wasn't home, you don't need that amount of soldiers and garrisons for home, even if a decent chunk of the middle and upper class population thought of themselves as British

The spin is probably that those which were on threatening courses were shot down, the others left alone. And both the wreckage of the drone and any interceptor missile can easily cause collateral damage, many Ukr shootdowns still damage properties in urban centres

Or even on a smaller scale, like Wednesday S2, where the main Outcasts are kinda jerks who get a lot of Normies killed and face no consequence unless they're the designated villain

Honestly would not suprise me to find out the majority of the design team on WoD, especially Mage and Werewolf, is crunchy granola MAHA at best

I think the thing in Vampire specifically is the fucking meta plot and signature characters is very much hot ninja lesbians and theo bell unchained. Not sure about the LARP scene, feel that was a bit different
