To be fair on Dunmer they hate each other just as much, if they’re the wrong kind of Dunmer, Outlanders, Ashlanders or a rival house etc

The giant spiders are the friendly ones though.

At least those people who have been hoarding shipping containers of pennies so that they can sell the metal when they’re no longer currency are going to be happy.

Hagiography is not uncommonly used sarcastically to describe a fawning biography.

Thanks, I know about latifunda in the terms of calling plantations in South America that and Patrick Wyman saying latifunda on podcasts. So I could back form at a guess.

I feel like they were an ascending order of normalcy

Oppobrium? I have no idea

Latifundium? I’m not sure but I guess has to do with latifunda which are like plantations

Bellicose? Warlike from latin, bella being war

Effete? The thing I get called

They did a Trashfuture episode on him and he is a real weirdo.

I mean historically there was a difference between vulgarity (saying rude stuff) and cursing (insulting/invoking disdain at people or circumstances).

People said fuck and shit (or their equivalents) etc for thousands of years, but not necessarily as cursing or insults. Mother fucker, shit head etc are much more modern, even if the words are older.

People were much more religious so saying god damn you/burn in hell etc was serious and often the thing used to curse. “What in damnation” sounds silly but it was offensive. Some people still are really religious.

Blasphemy/taking the lords name etc was a bigger deal. I know in Italy if you’re really pissed off you still say “porco dio” or god-pork/pig, it’s an absurd thing, but the severe blasphemy makes it so rude.

I heard about this in Boonta Vista’s Big Egg segment. They really are the premier small news podcast.

Listening to Dr Janega’s podcast how a guy from China who was actually a Nestorian Christian, traveled to Europe and got to meet the Pope, Eastern Roman Emperor, Holy Roman Emperor, King of France before heading home.

Or how Ibn Battuta travelled from Morroco all the way to China via the Maldives. Or famously Mansa Musa travelled from Mali to Mecca causing a financial crisis from giving away too much gold.

Vikings travelled all the way to Constantinople to fight in the Varangian guard. Like people travelled. Non white people would be uncommon but they’d be there especially in bigger cities.

Light some fireworks

Gargoyles ruled.

As a kid my life’s ambition was to live on either a European castle on top of a skyscraper (David Xanatos) or a Samurai castle on top of a skyscraper (shredder TMNT).

You get driven in a nice car from your fancy DC townhouse or penthouse to a huge office with comfy chair and private bathroom where your staffers act like servants while telling you how important you are. Then you go to nice restaurants with lobbyists.

It’s like how people would talk about Bezos doing 60 hr weeks. The conditions he “worked” under shouldn’t be considered work to begin with.

(Personally being an introverted person it sounds the worst but I get why others would like it)

Internationally Trudeau and Macron are eating good.

Starmer and Albanese probably too but then they have to lie and triangulate on something neutral and boring.

Like ghouls as they are, you know Obama and Newsom are eating like fancy lads.

I think the hot sauce thing turned out to be true, like she does really have a bottle on but staffers said she put it on everything even stuff you wouldn’t normally like she was a character from iZombie. So even her humanising “normal” behaviour was done in an odd and off-putting manner

It lives in my brain forever that Mitch McConnell eats apple sauce for breakfast, mashed potatoes for lunch, and ham and gravy for dinner every single day.

Probably due to dentures. But one of the most powerful and richest ghouls of the American Regime eating joyless baby food is some sort of metaphor.

It’s crazy how widespread that operator look went (beard, glasses, backwards cap, body armor/webbing over nondescript clothes). Like footage of Taliban vanguard into Kabul who dressed that way or cartels in Mexico or various members of both sides of the Ukraine war,

Also it created a new god out of the super powerful emperor from a few centuries ago (except now he’s retroactively always been a god), don’t think about it.

My favorite is probably anything from TES. Explaining CHIM or mantling or even breaking down this diagram
