Cram is literally the Old Orc. Got tired of challenging people by the road and has now invaded the cities.
Also Skywind had an update video the other day. It's still not gonna be out before 2030, but it is looking good.

I initially started playing ESO because I was bored waiting for TES VI.
And here I am, 6 years later...playing ESO while waiting for TES VI (FWIW the new expansion does look legitimately awesome, and adds some serious depth to Hermaeus Mora. And they got Wes Johnson back in to voice him, which is just top tier)

Oh god the Sophie situation was ridiculous. I watched the entire thing unfold in real time online and was like "this is clearly bullshit, even by the low standards of TERF bullshit". And lo and behold...

However Coe also stressed that he would set up a working group that would consult with transgender athletes and review any fresh research that emerged.
Bullshit. What "fresh" evidence? The Olympics has allowed trans athletes for over 20 years at this point, and they based their decision on some extremely in-depth studies. How many trans athletes have gone on to win medals, again? You'd think Laurel Hubbard won golds across the board, given the coverage.

The very same. Also the wild sex parties of Theodora and Justinian's shapeshifting demon proclivities.
I just imagine the monks in the Vatican archives being completely "wtf" on actually reading it. Like any normal person, I would think.

Suu,
Byzantine history is not something that was heavily covered by my schooling, in any sense. I say this so you can understand where I am coming from.
I have discovered Procopius’s Anecdota. And I have questions. Many, many questions.

« on: January 31, 2023, 06:46:25 pm »They were wiped out, they just weren't fully extinguishedAfter you first said they were wiped out, you were surprised when when I told you the real population numbers. But now you're doubling down, and pretending that "wiped out" means something other than "destroyed completely". Or does "wiped out" have a different connotation in your dialect of English? Maybe next time say "the population was devastated" instead.QuoteI was unaware of any previous reparationsSpeaking of matters of which you are unaware would seem to be a problem.QuoteI didnt think that the process could have dragged on that long so you have me thereWell, at least you admit to being in error in two out of three cases.QuoteThe bottom line is the Canadian government made a wholly inadequate token gesture and then had to be forced via legal means to meet its obligation, which I saw as a recent development based on the news story from last week.That is arguably true. Perhaps you understand why this is a sensitive issue domestically, and why misinformation might provoke a reaction?
You are right, I was wrong, this requires the record be set straight, an apology and some reparations
Yesterday we (a sleep deprived 40 year old who read a relevant news article recently) reported some information in error and wish to correct the record, we are happy to do so.
We stated that the colonizers of Canada wiped out all of the indigenous peoples. We would like to amend this statement to say
they eliminated merely most of them.
It was also stated that the Government of Canada had failed to address their role and history in these atrocities and had offered no restitution to the survivors of their atrocities.
This was false. The Canadanian Government has in fact offered an inexpensive apology and an insultingly low restitution of 27 Million in 2007 to be divided up amongst the 5% of their population who suffered under the systematic cultural and literal elimination of their peoples, before immediately embarking on a prolonged legal battle to avoid having to make any kind of realistic restitution which they grudgingly settled, some 16 years later.
We apologize for any misleading information above and offer 23c to be divided up amongst all those negatively impacted by these statements provided you can get it out of us in court.
You wont get any New York Times columns with writing like that.
You have to say something like "enduring native resentment over interactions with colonisers that result in fatal gun discharge" or something.

The public statements are two, but I suspect 3 with an eye to 4 are also strong considerations. There's some...questionable sentiments on the eastern fringes of the EU (Hungary and Poland stand out) and a highly militarised Ukraine would not help those situations any.
