Americans: * watching the French riot in the street because the government raised the age of retirement with a homemade catapult*

Americans: Why can’t we protect at like that?

BIPOC: That literally happened in 2020, after the televised death of George Floyd. BLM? You know… that group you called ( let’s be honest a lot of y’all still do) thugs? They were met with police in riot gear and tanks.

It's really interesting to me that according to liberals, foster care is only a pipeline to sex trafficking when the abortion topic comes up but not when it comes to discussing the ethics of the porn industry.

Howd bill and kryptos meet?

Kryptos: Someone introduced us. We don't talk about it, though. You know, 'cause it was really far back. Bill was almost 18, I'm only a year younger, and now it's been thousands of... Years? Doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's just my selective memory.

Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.

Memento, Christopher Nolan

I think given the new information we got in Clouds on the Horizon, Alador might not have had a vocal role in his kids' upbringing. When Understanding Willow came out, and Amity revealed that her parents forced her to break her friendship with Willow off, Alador('s shadow) verbally tells her to make new friends with the kids they approve of. But in CotH, Alador seems to be as under Odalia's thumb as their children are.

There are then, two things we can interpret from Amity's memories: the first is the noticeable change in voice actors from Alador's (unofficial) first appearance in Amity's memories (whereas Odalia seems to have the same voice actor). The second stems from the implication that Amity misremembers the event. Since Odalia has such a power over both her husband and children, and since this may not have been apparent when Amity was young, she may have seen her parents as a united force, even if Alador didn't verbally say or do anything to support this. To her, his silence in the matter, and his willingness to go along with Odalia, was as harmful as her memory of him saying as much.

Other evidence to this is Alador himself saying that he hasn't taken a break from work (not even for illness) for five years (pretty much from when Amity was nine years old). Even before then, he might have been heavy into his work life over his family life, and while he might have had a more active role when his children were young, going from a caring parent to a complete workaholic overnight is unlikely. This was a slow progression, an almost systematic takeover to keep the family divided and under Odalia's control. Alador has a disconnect from his children, such that he has no idea what is going on in any of their lives. The kids see that their father supports their domineering mother no matter the circumstances and feel that he wouldn't intervene if there was a problem. It's masterful and completely in line with who Odalia is. Controlling, domineering, greedy, and blind to who her children are and what her family actually wants beyond her own needs.

Future Leader of The Conservative Party?

Kemi Badenoch, a far right Tory, is a firm favourite to take over from Rishi Sunak as leader of the Conservative Party. She is very concerned about honesty and openness, and rarely misses an opportunity to tell her audiences that “It is time to tell the truth”. For Ms Badenoch, politicians need to stand up and tell the truth because the public is “crying out for honesty”. (The Standard: 12/07/22)

Quite right Ms Badenoch. We do want the truth.

Yet, the Guardian carried this headline only two days ago regarding Badenoch’s relationship with the truth.

"...the truth is an insult to the ever-outraged Kemi Badenoch. The business secretary is a passionate defender of free speech apart from any criticism of her."  (19/02/24)

The former chairman of the Post Office, Henry Staunton, who was sacked by the business secretary Kemi Badenoch last month, has claimed he received instructions from a senior government official to slow down compensation payments for sub-postmasters to allow the government time to “limp into” the next election.

Ms Badenoch vigorously denied this was the case and, using Parliamentary privilege, attacked  Mr Staunton’s revelations as “full of lies”.

Today Mr Staunton has produced evidence that he was told to “hobble" up to the general election and to delay compensation payments as "now was not the time for dealing with long term issues.” (The I: 21/02/24)

The word “hobble" certainly implies that Mr Staunton was told to delay payments to sub postmasters and mistresses, but it is still a “she said - he said” argument, and who you believe will probably depend upon your political view point.

Less problematic in establishing whether Ms Badenoch is really the champion of truth that she claims to be, is evidence from the Canadian High Commission.

Badenoch, as Business Secretary, recently told the House of Commons that trade talks with Canada were “ongoing”. This is not true say the Canadians, causing Liam Byrne, Chair of the Commons Business and Trade Select Committee, to demand of Ms Badenoch why the Canadian account of the talks is:

“so utterly at variance with what she told the House of Commons.”

Maybe the right-wing Ms Badenoch is not as honest or as concerned with telling the truth as she claims?

Someone: isn't there a myth about that with uhh, you know, that death god...

Me: They're called cthonic gods and do you mean Anubis, Osiris, Nethphys, Melinoe, Thanatos, Hades, Persephone, Zagreus, Makaria, Nyx, Hermes, Hecate, Morrigan, the Dagda, Odin, Hel, or Freya? I mean, there are others, and also miscellaneous groups that fill a cthonic or psychopomp role like the sidhe, the various underworld nymphs, or the incredible number of egyptian protectors of the dead Also someone: Hey, can you give this to Miles? Me, despite having probably known and interacted with this Miles for weeks: I have no fucking clue who that is

Nico referring to his mom as "Mama" implies he most likely at least used to refer to Hades as "Papa" and i 100% headcanon he still does but mostly in the manner of him having the entire Underworld wrapped around his finger for being the baby of the family

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #headcanon #my art #nico flexing youngest child privilages by pulling out the most pitiful expression he can manage #anyways i find it fun to explore character word choices #cause yknow no two characters are going to select their words the same way #or even necessarily think about it to the same degree #i like to think Nico thinks about his word choice a lot #so of course every time he uses ''papa'' he fully knows he's pulling the Baby Of The Family card #Hades definitely knows this too but falls for it every time anyways #cause Nico hasnt called him ''papa'' regularly since getting his memory wiped - just detached ''father'' or at best ''dad'' #so it just reminds Hades of How Much He Just Wants His Children To Be Happy Like The Old Days #and how much poor Nico has been through and he's just the baby of the family and- #cue Nico smugly staring at the camera cause he knows how much power he holds #also i say Nico is Hades' only son cause mythologically even when Zagreus *is* Hades' son (rarely) he's. dead. #a major part of Zagreus' mythology is that he died #and im p sure every other deity said to be Hades' children are all goddesses and also are like 50% of the time not his #theres also only like 3 of them. and as far as we know in riordanverse canon one of them is implied to not be his daughter #so Nico is Hades' only son and also youngest in the family (cause Hazel is older by a month chronologically or 1 year biologically) #(and everybody else is a deity if children of hades at all)

The Halo series never had GORE in it! Beyond a couple of little moments here and there.

Not on screen at least.

I mean not outside of the Flood and one or two bits here and there.

How are so many of the fans all too quick to forget this?!

This has been the case for all the games in the series since 2001!

For fuck’s sake!

They never had fucking giblets and entrails coating the place when you fought enemies! Firstly it was due to engine and tech limitations. But also because there was never a need for that stuff in the first place.

Fucking hell…

It’s like some selective memory shit.

Idk.
