Eh.
I got an Aboriginal lady ranting at me because of my skin color, not 6 months ago.
A bunch of people still care.

And there are dipshits who claim The South Will Rise Again! still doesn't make it anything more than history. That said people can bring politics into anything, or be whiny about anything.I got an Aboriginal lady ranting at me because of my skin color, not 6 months ago.

Zatanna may just have to clobber him with her staff a couple times before he get's a clue...
The rule with Nazi super-scientists is they aren't dead till you've seen the body."Romanian Nazi and biomancer. He's dead now, but his work still sticks around."
Hah! If an angel invasion didn't wake one up, nothing would."... If one was hibernating or something… I can't think of anything that's changed in the last few months that would have woken it up..."
Until you've seen the body, ring scanned it for life, used Zeus' bondage cord to check for life, followed them to the afterlife, assimilated them, and hit them with the Sword of the Fallen.The rule with Nazi super-scientists is they aren't dead till you've seen the body.
And probably not even then.The rule with Nazi super-scientists is they aren't dead till you've seen the body.
Yet it's getting it's ass kicked by rabbits. Very little in nature is "tough" in a broad sense. It's usually a rock- paper-scissors kind of thing.And then you guys got their asses kicked by Emus. Heck no wonder Australia started as a prison, the place is quite deadly.
They saw the body when it was getting it's ass kicked by Swamp Thing.The rule with Nazi super-scientists is they aren't dead till you've seen the body.
No that seems to make them come back as a human.
Bodies can be faked - especially by skilled biomancers. Though they have proof that he hasn't come back for his creations. He might as well be dead, if he is still alive.
We haven't seen that happen to anyone who was assimilated first.
What about if you know the people that ate it?The rule with Nazi super-scientists is they aren't dead till you've seen the body.
And she's still on my arm for some reason, Ms Vadim's book floating in front of her. "Do you have any contact with the local gnome warren?"
The sensible thing for someone who feels differently from me to do is to attempt to explain and justify their position, with the aim of changing my mind. The stupid thing to do, the thing which promotes an us vs them mentality, is label it to associate it with a more extreme position and ban it. Various people on the thread and later by PM attempted the former. The mods did the latter.
Thank you, corrected.
It's not quite as bad as it looks. He knowns how she feels, but she hasn't been pushing it recently. He assumed that she wasn't going to.
Cheshire 1 or Cheshire 16?Thankfully on this site it can all end in a threesome instead of tears, I'm pretty sure Cheshire was mentioned to be Bi in the comics so even odds on that later. She seems to be willing to wait a few years if needed.

For example:
The statement that 'In the 1990s, in the US, HIV disproportionally affects gay men' is not homophobic. Aside from anything else, it's true. If you wish to argue against it you have to have better statistical evidence that the person arguing for it, but the lack of emotive language suggests that they would be receptive to the idea.
Whereas the statement that ''Gay men are disease-carrying scum and should burn in hell' is homophobic. Once a person believes that there probably isn't much you can do, but I would respect someone who used statistics on rates of infection and demonstrated reasons relating to social practices and education to show that orientation itself wasn't the deciding factor.

Sure, ideally, but how many people routinely check things that they know to be true without prompting? I believe the Earth to be in the shape of a slightly flattened sphere but I've never, for example, tried to send a camera to the edge of space on a balloon to check the claims of flat earthers.Primarily, I feel that the need for someone else to explain their position is only one half of the equation. It is also important for one to search out and learn under their own agency in order to get the most accurate picture.
The entire sky booming with golden fire and divinely rousing magical announcements of angels invading worldwide might have woken it up.I can't think of anything that's changed in the last few months that would have woken it up.
I'm saying that the Australian Frontier Wars we're just as abusive and abhorrent to the indigenous peoples as the Maori Wars, Treaty of Waitangi be damned.
Sweet baby maritans. She can model people. 0_0Threads of violet light worm their way down from the star sapphire, along her right arm and down her left, flowing into the blood. A small violet model monster gnome appears floating just over it, and Zatanna's eyes unfocus slightly.
You believe the Earth is an oblate spheroid?! That's crazy! Just because something is true is no reason to go believing in it.I believe the Earth to be in the shape of a slightly flattened sphere
It was mentioned much earlier in the story that OL does know how Zatanna feels about him. He can see the violet light.Zatanna may just have to clobber him with her staff a couple times before he get's a clue...
'Sounding,' in this context, is in the mind of the observer. While I have accepted that you were being weirdly and annoyingly pedantic, rather than my initial impression of actual bigotry (sorry about that), the mods et al on SV.com have already pre-judged you (hence the term 'prejudice,' if anyone reading this did not know that), and will automatically assume the worst regardless. With them, and people who believe them, you literally can't say that without sounding sarcastic and nasty. You may not even be able to say that you support people who want to become spacecraft without being assumed to be a sarcastic bigot, because far too many people (including transgender individuals and many who support them) don't have the first clue what 'transhuman' is, and would not necessarily accept it as valid if it were explained to them.I also can't think of a way to say that as a transhumanist I genuinely support people who wish to become helicopters without sounding sarcastic. Thoughts?
Kobolds?I turn to Zatanna. "Anything about the odd-looking gnomes in there?"
"No, not really. The author says that the work they took the picture from said that these creatures served as foot soldiers for dragons, but… They don't seem to have been convinced that the older source was authentic. They met gnomes, and none looked like that or acted aggressively. Gnomes don't make good soldiers."
Well yeah, we have people for thatSure, ideally, but how many people routinely check things that they know to be true without prompting?
