I've written a few.
My favorite one involved orcs that hade evolved on three different evolutionary paths.
The greyskins were a military junta warlord kingdom. They operated on a single combat hierarchy, all challenges accepted. The twist was they were so hyper focused on efficiency most duels would be called at first blood and losing wasn't really considered a dishonor. Against outsiders though they were absolutely brutal.
The greenskins were dessert nomads, mostly herders and slavers. They cannibalized most of their slave population which was largely elvish. They also had these weird mammoth/plant/Lizard beasts of burden that photosynthezed but also produced milk which the orcs harvested in vast quantities.
The third subspecies lived in catacombs tunnels thay were mostly inaccessible to other creatures since they were only about 4 feet tall, they were also unable to communicate with other species since so much of their language was pheromones, stomps/claps and some vocalizations that weren't possible for other species.
There was a bunch of other stuff, a reptile race that was racial supremacist and manifest destiny based culture. Some extinct dwarves but not really. Literal mud people.
Was fun
And KTF while we're at it
Browns have been used as bio-terrorism since the colonial times. Look what the French did to Germany in WWI.
That's a pretty legitimate come to jesus moment. Can't complain.
Based department, what have you done with AoV
Crime stats are so laced now though it's hard to draw a conclusion from something like that.
ANY individual having 40+ arrests is 1. Going to skewers averages, and 2. Not something that should happen in a functioning justice system.
The data is confounded on both ends now too. On the one hand, you have a guy with 7,000 arrested, 3,000 felonies, and 2 minutes of jail time, his own data is fucked too, because 7,000 of the arrests were for selling crack to school kids, but his 3,000 felonies were him pleading down to reckless driving.
Then on the other hand, you have the guy who shoplifts every day, but has only been arrested a handful of times and has no felonies.
You put those two "types" into a blender of a couple million people and at the end you can't draw ANY useful conclusion from the data. I mean sure they're garbage people, that's a given and easy to demonstrate. But you still need accurate analysis if you're going to attack the problems effectively.
I'm aware that yes. You could just deport based on paint swatches, and it'd work, but I don't see that happening even if we all revolted and established a KOA3 Junta.
Its like how they say crime is down overall, and I dont think there's any possible way to be sure of that one way or another. The data on crime is fucked. Irrecoverably.
Its still hard for me to truly conceptualize how bad 3 was.
I was too young to be disappointed with the over promising of 1 and 2, so I honestly view them as about as formative to my media choices as Halo. And 3 was just... so bad. Lol
Post this list. The people demand it
Thats why I say they're fighting about it now. Gen Z won't be the culturally dominate force for a good 20-30 years. Were watching it's incubation. Which means we can speculate on causes and the ultimate outcomes, but it's still up in the air as to what truly takes over.
If I could summarize it. Boomers had earnest irreverance Gen X earnest cynicism. Millennial moved into ironic cynicism. And Gen Z is marked by post irony. Which can circle into earnest reverence again, OR can end up at ironic irreverence. Regardless, each generation rejects the moor of the previous, while still tweaking it into something somewhat unique.
In addition to everything else, labeling by definition if it's claimed because aspirational.
Its the same thing as special snowflake syndrome on tumblr. As soon as anybody takes pride in a perjoritive label it becomes a goal for somebody else. This isnt a criticism, human nature wants belonging and uniqueness. It wants to belong to a group outside the norm
Real trailblazers and counter cultural forces don't HAVE a group identity, and can't be identified, because they don't seek a label, and don't conform to a societal paradigm of accepted deviance.
That's the Crux of the society part as well, in that society NEEDS to be at least slightly hip, it has to have a group of inside-outsiders. In this case and time it's the nerds. Ita a push back against the seriousness and angst of Gen X, which was in turn a push back on the flower child ideals of the Boomers. The Boomers said purpose is lack of constraint and truth found by engaging in nonsense, Gen X called nonsensr stupid, nut agreed that constraint was evil and said purpose was needed but impossible. The Current zeitgeist claims that a need for purpose IS a constraint, and that engaging with anything in a serious way is a farce, so embraces nonsense FOR its lack of purpose, rather than a path to it as the boomers did.
Gen Z is fighting over constraint right now.
Pull it back to "nerds" What are the ingredients of a modern nerd?
-
It has a label of non-conformity, stealing the insult is plenty. If you can say "lol I'm such a nerd"
-
It has a sense of belonging, "nerd culture" funko pops being the perfect example of rapidly generating the trappings of an obsession. This allows the "claim" of the nerd title, and a signal of authenticity (rememeber, group belonging is self defining and self sustaining. Group credentials are whatever enough people with those credentials consider them to be)
-
It fits the cultural zeitgeist. The MCU is the symbol here. Trash badtardizarions of much better media, condensed into manageable bite sized chunks. Stripped of all narrative and the themes that made the originals great. And the response to criticism of those problems is that "it's children's media" "youre taking it too seriously" " you don't need to know every species name and Luke's best friends name to be a fan. Who cares about that stuff anyway! It was stupid and it's good it's gone.
Engaging in purposeless nonsense BECAUSE it is pointless, and fighting HARD to keep it pointless. That's the cultural demand. And culture/society is what decides what's well known, what's published. Uou have to have the right product and know the right people, and fundamentally, being counter cultural means you DONT have those things.
Abraham being before Moses is pretty foundational...
Did you really say that exodus, Deuteronomy and Levitics came before Abraham.
You might be retarded son.
They're subsidized by taxes, and used for luxury export. They're not for decoration, they're cash cows for rich people.
You said people would starve. I'm telling you most of the food grown DOESNT FEED US.
So fucking YES 70% of it going away wouldnt starve anybody, because it isnt feeding anybody.
You dont work in ag. Not even adjacent to it.
Waste, and excess capacity are universal Constants, because prices are kept so arbitrarily low.
Prices are so low entire groves go unpacked because even with slave wage labor, it still costs more to ship the shit than to leave it on the tree
I have always believed his eyebrows are shopped in this photo
This isnt really an argument of anything except pro-anarchism. Which if that's how you meant it good for you.
But if it isnt, it hold no water, it's built on the same essential foundation as "some people are intersex therefore gender is a spectrum"
Declaring that because there are Grey areas and difficulties in defining overlap between borderline definitions isnt an argument against the existence of those definition, only an observation of our failure in ability to observe them perfectly.
The 30 yo in th3 example being punished for that would be just. Declaring that injustice can be meted out by organization using justice as a smokescreen doesn't negate that.
"Don't put people in jail for kidnapping! Thats hypocrisy!"
I'm new here
Yeah we know
Ultimate working man.
You're looking at it all wrong heh. This is peak entertainment. Watching puffed up black retards getting their faces smashed in is better entertainment than I would ordinarily hope for.
If morals are relative then doing right thing is just sorting.
So sure. Jews DO always do the right thing.
Its so fucking dishonest.
An "ideal america" would be one where job gains we went to Americans not h1bs.
An "ideal America" would be one not involved in foreign wars between sand people.
An "ideal america" would be one that made foreign lobbying illegal.
An "ideal america" would be one that was 70%+ white.
An "ideal america" would be one with a single tiered justice system.
An "ideal america" would be one with selective suffrage.
So just one where a single income can support a single family in a neighborhood of peers without having to worry about subsidized subhuman ruining your home, career or murdering you. One with safe transportation.
An america that's government was concerned with making sure Americans were wealthy, safe, and happy.
So you know. Just criticism with no vision.
We have a resident one. Reading his takes on the Bible is funking bonkers.
He dives headlong into the inverse version of "use the clear to illuminate the obscure"
If you were luckier you'd be less retarded.
I was very specific with my words, you continue to bring up irrelevant anecdotes.
"There's a red one right there!" In literal form.
Here are some topics for you to research:
Black opinion surveys on morality, OJ simspon, Rodney king, brown, Floyd, and trayvon. Black jury bias Concentration of population effects Mere exposure. IQ as it relates to propensity for violence.
I'd like what skyrim, fable and wildlands PRETEND to be. Namely a hitman level of detailed living country/region.
Cities where every NPC has a real home and job. Where they have a commute and routine, relationshop and they're all killable and to some level interactable such that they have an effect on the world.
Put in a real economy that tracks every scrap of food and $ spent to buy it. Such that burning farms in one city has a poor character actually die in another.
Posion shipments of grain for maximum terrorism. Assassination of an enemy with a land mine planted 3 days ago inside their home's personal shrine. Sabotage the wagon repair man in one city and steal all the farmers grain business when they can make deliveries.
I'd want it to be hard though. As much effort as there is in you doing those things there should be an NPC database of everyone who's seen you commit a crime and who theyv3 talked to. You become branded a terrorist or thief and there's no waiting X in Game days and i5 disappears, some people will never deal with you again. You have to become a true outlaw. And if you get caught with a murder rap, unless you've prepped some friends to bust you out that character is dead
