Luzifer's right hand

In think France is focusing on its nuclear weapons again and Macron at least hinted that they would be used to protect all of the EU. At last according to some German language articles I read. Seems sensible. Strong nuclear strike capability is the only thing that will keep the EU safe if the christian fascists take over the USA completely and the country becomes more isolationist.

Pretending to care about human lives was always limited to certain groups. The killing and forced displacement of natives in countries like Brazil because of agriculture and mining has been ignored for a long time now because we all benefit from it from example. Cheap raw materials and cheap meat/animal feedstock are a key aspect of our way of living after all.

People thinking citizenship will protect them in the long term are deluding themselves. That's not how fascism works.

Pakistan has launched a strike in response. Pakistan claims they are just striking at militants though. Hopefully that won't escalate.

So Chinese arms manufacturers might not want attack on Taiwan I guess.

Cheap meat is a key element of keeping people content. I mean the working conditions in some meat packing plants are as close as you get to forced labor in Germany. The foreign workers even have "pimps" that control them and take most of their income in some case. Shitty accommodations that they have to pay insane rent for are part of the system. The state does not give a shit. It does not even pretend it does. Nobody is going to touch cheap meat. It is holy.

I just reached act 3 in my evil 4 pure monks honour mode run. Ridiculously overpowered to be honest. Unlike my first 2 bard 1 monk 1 cleric honour mode run I'm giving bosses the time to use their legendary actions. Some are surprisingly nasty but I had no deaths except for the Gauntlet of Shar. After trying the other two subclasses on two of the characters I respeced everyone to Way of the Open Hand. Just punching everything into dust. The best build for monk actually involves 3 levels of thief for an extra bonus action but I have not bothered with that because I wanted the poison/disease immunity from level 10. At level 11 enemies don't agro until you attack for the first time after a long rest. That is usually not talked about but really funny when the enemy has no other targets.

I was posting in general I guess not specifically about that 4 year old.

I don't know what you are aiming at and I don't really follow non-mainstream news sources anymore after getting burned by seeing parts of something horrible on reddit recently.

When I posted a terrorist background had not been ruled out. Number of people killed has gone up to 15. The father of the perpetrator was found dead before the shooting.

11 dead including the shooter according to German language sites I read. An horrible act of senseless violence. Motive is still unclear at this point. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67793962

Just have an after credit scene with someone from the new and improved TVA showing up at the Kang meetup and dropping one of the prune bombs. Afterwards introduce a variant that looks different. There are a lot of good actors. If you want to keep the ethnicity I'm currently watching Reacher and enjoying the acting of Malcolm Goodwin.

Yeah for some reason even people in areas with 6 weeks of unenforced on paper lockdowns blame everything that is wrong with kids on COVID-19 too. Well maybe the brain damage that is known to happen in some cases. Or maybe a society in which aggressive not following rules was of utmost importance for two or so years was not the best environment either? People think kids did not learn that rules are completely and utterly irrelevant?

So nearly finished act 1 in honour mode. I'm using everything I got from consumables to stacking bonuses and I found things not that difficult so far. Tavern Brawler monk with strength potions is insanely strong and I found an item that can make enemies vulnerable to blunt damage while clearing the crèche. I also a few arrows if many targets and they are freaking crazy with the Titanstring bow and a high strength archer. Using two bards and my 2nd one buffs and inspires my lore bard Tav(with actor feat) during conversations and I have not really failed yet. I did not max things there though so no halfling Tav because I dislike the small folk animations.

I'm a blue collar worker. The hate for FFF was pretty strong from the first time they marched on roads. The part of society that was friendly towards FFF public was a bourgeois bubble that has now popped. Edit: the only tolerated protest is standing on a square not inconveniencing anybody. But this is getting too off-topic I feel.

Don't read too much into the Friday's for Future thing in Germany. Climate protestors have become one of the most hated groups by a lot of people in German language countries because next to nobody wants to hear that we might not solve this problem by just switching to greener technologies. The "centrists" have moved away from pretending the care about doing anything before this anyway. Regional governments are trying to declare protestors blocking streets terrorists and in Austria they trying to prosecute them with anti-organized crime laws. At least in Austria the state will probably lose in court but the people will be financially ruined(same thing happend to anti-factory farming protestors years ago). Greta being pro-Palestinian is just a welcome excuse.

He has access to the help action which can remove quite a few status effects including downed and it seems that works for NPCs that it can be used on. His help action is a licking/dog kisses animation. There is no risk as he does not die and the character holding his ball can resummon him after a short rest. He also points chests that you can dig up out. You lose nothing by summing him and he might actually be of some uses.

I just read that Scratch can free Dame Aylin with his help action. Best boy indeed.

Only mentioning Israeli civilians is downplaying the Hamas attacks by default though. People in the west usually don't actually give a shit if people in other countries are harmed. They only care if the perpetrators are a group they dislike and they don't benefit from the violence. I have recently read up on the constant violence inflicted upon natives in South America and nobody cares because we benefit from the conversion of areas they live in as the destruction of the rain forest for grazing grounds and feedstock farming is a key element of global animal agriculture.

Any comparison to the Holocaust can get you in hot waters with the law in Germany and Austria because it falls under Holocaust denial laws. The word does not need to be used. Just implying it is enough. Mentioning that the something is happening to a group is the same as what happened to Jews for example. It is a slippery slope and pretty risky legally.

Actually with the climate conference being in Dubai this year it is reasonable to assume that it is over anyway. The denialists and their tech-optimist allies have won long ago anyway. It was probably over in the mid 90s to be honest. We will test how much the biosphere can take that's it.

I started a new playtrough with the new single save difficulty mode. Having fun so far but I have failed to save multiple NPC's already and I actually killed Khaga at the grove for the first time because I failed necessary rolls. There is probably a lot more awesome content behind failed rolls than I imagined.

I never watched any of it back in the day and watched Fraiser for the first time earlier this year.

I nearly finished Cheers. I must say I liked Diane far more than Rebecca and her weird golddigger plotlines. However Fraiser and Lilith are just awesome and Woody grew on me too.

That the COP28 is held in Dubai just demonstrates what a farce those conferences are. I'm sure some lucrative fossil fuel deals will be made.
