Purge the whole thing, start over.
The whole wall thing and them leaving it so undefended and having such shit time to respond really doesn't make any sense until you consider 'green flag' theories (at least) yeah.
Go sculpt me a feminine character in GW style heroic proportions at 28-32mm scale. A certain level of 'man face' is inevitable. The need to exaggerate the nose and brow in particular, down at that scale, it's very easy to make a manish face. And that's GW's style, large proportioned stuff that is easy for the brush to pick up, as opposed to say, KDM which is softer, as soft as you can get at that scale (so still some issues), but it relies more on the painter's skill to be able to do it at all.
The store painters' style also do them no favours, there was an infamously man-faced sister of battle with some stubble a few years back which did cause some controversy. And it's not that there isn't an issue with them being man-jawed, there is. But the painting style they use on the store exacerbates it further.

So now there's 3 things all working against them. And we haven't even spoken about the models and lore yet, are they even supposed to be feminine?
If you want femininity, you're looking at some of the wrong models. 2.5 of those are filthy xenos (1 is part zerg, 1 is freaky space elf, the other a cow/fish alien race), 2 are the same roided up mutants who everyone within a mile feels unease just because of their presence and who do nothing but train, and the other are the military wing of the ecclesiarchy because of a loophole they found, they were banned from having men-at-arms because of a coup they tried to pull. But it says nothing about women-at-arms. So they now roid up a bunch of fanatics who do nothing but pray and train
4 things working against it now in some of these then.
Voting is just there to placate the masses,
AND turn neighbour against neighbour, ire is directed at each other rather the actual source of the problems. It's their fault for voting for the shit sandwich.
Pretending you and your neighbours have a say has a lot of benefits for the 'elite'
I kinda like that is has some creepyness, because the concept is itself creepy. Extended lifespan while not fully understanding the humans he wants to be, both are going to result in some creepyness, so good on the film for beeing willing to show that.
It's also why I don't think star war's dialogue is as bad as it's made to be. The cloistered teen monk who's never had free time, has been fighting a war, and has been pining for a girl he met for 10 years ago might say some awkward things about sand when he finally gets some time alone with her and become overly clingy? Good, that's realistic.
Its not just a game and setting clone with serial numbers filed off, opr does stuff with its with the numbers and crunch filed off too
Its far simpler than 40k and aos. It's in the name, one page rules.
Therefore, it's going to have players who aren't able to handle wargaming and just want to rp or throw some dice and have it all be chance based. Like the kinds of player who enjoys 'Powered by the Apocalypse' instead of a rpg with some crunch, shadowrun or dnd3.5 or something
I don't know about the company, but I do know the people pushing to play opr, and no thanks.
As I grew older and classes began teaching things I didn't already know or couldn't grasp instantly (and was interested in learning) I was fairly calm and attentive.
This is an indictment of the school system. You were ahead, you could have stayed ahead, but they just let you learn nothing for years.
I think he'd definitely evolved somewhat from that time, but yeah
Definitely adds to this doco, helping put it into context and giving you the details 'on the ground'
He wasn't just a student there himself, he was a student there at the time of the events IIRC.
Ok yeah you're right it is not specifically a Chinese communist thing, but a communist in general thing.
But the Chinese ones had a particular emphasis on public humiliation and were less formal with famous scenes of men with dunce hats, and in speaking in generalities, the humiliation rituals of struggle sessions are more commonly associated with china, sure.
Oh yeah there's some good ones for sure. Not all mind, I find it's a bit hit and miss with the interviewees, but the good ones are really good.
He's so calm, it's almost like ASMR sometimes. Which is a good style, much as I like some gay frog screaming and ranting, its tiresome when everyone is ranting.
I remember hearing something along those lines from him repeatedly, yes. To the students at the time. If you mean some comment he made after, no, the doco is mostly all focused on the events as they happened.
You're not going to get any arguments about Weinstein from me, but thats also part of the point. It was a struggle session to drag people like Weinstein and the admin further. Weinstein isn't good, he was an evergreen professor aftercall, I don't know why anyone expects much from him. But he did somewhat resist the struggle session, unlike george the other primary target of it. And its fascinating to watch it play out.
This is a fascinating bit of history, from a former student of theirs (who now does some quite interesting interviews, most of them are with gender critical feminists, but he does have some properly dissident people on with good microphones too, there are a few Curtis yarvin ones and the like)
It's a slower documentary, but it needs to be, because this was not a 1 day protest. This was something that built and built over days, destroying an org. Look at the google sit in and firing the other day. This is what they were trying to pull there, but they had not subverted the rest of the leadership quite enough onto their side of that faction war.
It really shows a struggle session play out, there's a really sad moment where a kind of dim student (who doesn't belong at college really it sounds like) is being all sweet and willing to hear Bret Weinstein out, but then gets dragged away and put up for a public humiliation ritual. I remember seeing laughter at the supposed activist online for being illiterate, but that was actually the point. The activist deliberately gave this dissenting dyslexic a complex text and forced her to read it aloud, publicly, to humiliate her. It's all very reminiscent of what happened in china, the communists are still going by the same playbook.
Its a unique look into the inner workings of those events, and a reminder at how we're not just looking at queer freaks making characters ugly. These companies and institutions are encountering actual Chinese style struggle sessions to force that kind of stuff, and this is what is coming on a larger scale. It's also a great look at the most pathetic of man, an absolute gamma, and how they constantly mock him as he capitulates, enforce speech codes on him live in a humiliating way, and how the whole thing could have been averted with just a modicum of strong leadership.
Really worth your time if you fancy watching a proper doco rather than a 10 sec tiktok clip or a 20 min youtube brief analysis. And it's broken into 15 min chapters anyway
I can tell you that the 2014 rule should really be the 1960 rule, if not before. Activist and provocative content has been in popular entertainment for far longer than most of you realize.
Ah, the very final year of the blacklist. It had been crumbling a bit before that though, if they're willing to openly break it in 1960, seems like we ought to draw the line back a bit, maybe 50
It's always been infested though, they were just forced to hide it somewhat until the 60s.
there was an o'keefe (OMG, not veritas IIRC) expose on some pornhub staff and turns out that yes they pushed that stuff hard yeah, and gay and tranny shit
For very nefarious reasons
"320 doses for the average lifespan"
Or it would be, were it not for the fact that...
I don't think they'll even need to. They can skip half these steps
We've been sending them hair and spit samples for dna sequencing and genetic history stuff for ages now, and they can turn adult cells back into stem cells. Nobel prize for it like 20 years back.
I think its worse than you fear, they're past needing half of this.
orifAIce was right there.
If they can't even market right, orifice.ai, then I've got no faith that they're not just trying to steal my precious gene seed for nefarious purposes.
Average for now or average for the 50s.
And what media is depicting the average? Or do you mean 'Hollywood plain'?
Try making an adaptation that successfully ruins nearly every single possible plotline the book has setup for the sequels entirely for brevity. And still ending with the expectation of those sequels.
Ah the avatar approach
There's one scene that stuck with me from that, and it's haunted me ever since.
pick-me
Leftist crab bucket language.
I don't disagree in her particular case. But this is just lefty language used against any woman who dares drift even slightly rightwards.
But how can this be, they've started putting straight white men in the ads again!?
