Or ATCQ/Brand Nubian’s “Georgie Peorgie”. Admittedly, there’s more ammo for that kind of thinkpiece than there should be.

Not only that, but demihumans had level caps, a ceiling on the highest level they could ever possibly reach, while humans could theoretically level forever. Those level caps varied wildly and clearly established some races as being better suited than others even to the subset of classes they were allowed to take.

In…

You aren’t a ‘race traitor’, but you do come across as a bit self-abasing and too quick to embrace a dubious statement as ‘obvious fact’. No skin color has a monopoly on atrocity. It isn’t a racial characteristic, it’s a (sadly) human one. In a history of struggle, the victors became oppressors, often to brutal…

Jon had no reason to believe any more forces would ever be forthcoming. From his perspective, as awful as the odds were at that point, time would only make them worse as winter settled in and the Night King advanced. Sansa had the only information that could have meaningfully changed that calculation and she neglected…

And sadly, while Sansa clearly really does see it that way, to everyone else, she withheld the knowledge that she potentially had another ally available who could have made a huge material impact on planning, leaving Jon to commit with too few forces and almost die. He tried to gather every ally he could, marshalled…

As the Onion Knight couldn’t help but blurt out, Jon has already taken a blade in the heart for his people.

You’re clearly a huge hit with the childfree types, and little wonder.

Longstreet’s Offensive (although he argued against it bitterly, so truly it would be better thought of as Lee’s). And again, Cemetary Ridge and Lee’s fatal ‘If Practicable’.

There was certainly more to the Union victory than ‘reckless abandon’. Take Cemetary Hill “if practicable”, for example.

To even give voice to the notion at all reinforces its validity and subtly undermines the loyalty of the men who did stay true to House Stark with the insidious notion that that was indeed precisely what they deserved, and Snow declined to give it to them. That she broached the idea so vocally without discussing it…

He’s Lemmy from Motorhead somehow wedded, a la Brundlefly, with Ewan McGregor. It’s not a harmonious union.

Did Boucher wet his pants at some point or is that spilled coffee? His crotch and inner thighs are clearly wet while he’s stomping up and down the street spewing invectives.

The gentleman asking about chocolate isn’t being sufficiently specific. Sure, he could be referring to the kind of chocolate you manfully stuff into your piehole, Drew- Hershey Bars, the leftover and unloved remnants of your son’s Halloween haul, perhaps a Snickers- but I doubt his girlfriend would be insisting he…

It’s largely a function of mutual discomfort. We’re all somewhat unified by it in the humid and tight confines of the locker room, with our respective vulnerabilities rendered bare. There are brusque exceptions, surly and unabashedly selfish locker room denizens who manage to sprawl their scant equipment across an…

The amount of sex may depend on the location and the observer effect, however. I have a 5 day a week gym habit in what Carver would call the ‘Alabama’ section of Pennsylvania and I’ve never seen anything remotely approaching sexual activity. I’ve certainly never been masturbated at in a locker room, at least that I’m…

Torment:ToN isn’t even out yet. Are you possibly thinking of Pillars of Eternity, which had sold 500k copies as of a year ago?

He’s just a moustache short of being Paul Bearer.

I’ll be excoriated for saying it here, but I’m going to say it anyways- the assertion that ‘Only 10% of rapes are false’ should really be accompanied with that paper’s definition of a ‘false’ rape allegation, which is that there must be concrete evidence proving that the allegations are untrue. Without that clear…

Right. Rasputin had a high Con. Where did that get him? Just memorialized for how horribly prolonged a death he suffered, there’s where. Con is bollocks. Gimli had the highest Con in the fellowship. He was the comic relief.

The supplement defense should at least pass the sniff test. In this case, he was using an aromatase inhibitor and an estrogen blocker. That’s a 1-2 punch specifically to restart test production after a cycle. It’s pretty hard to argue that clomid, the favorite post-cycle SERM, just happened to be in some GNC…
