Jace, Extat

Words are charged with meaning, calling someone obviously disturbed or insane a martyr is suggesting that their sacrifice achieved a worthwhile aim. This man's will not.

In a world where words are recategorized as violence I struggle to see how immolation is "peaceful". Violence against yourself is still using violence to forward your political will.

Pretty good rhetoric. But what's inhuman to me is implicitly condoning suicide as a form of protest. Calling this man a martyr for the cause (whatever cause) is akin to encouraging others to end their lives as well. The thought that anyone would allow their words to lend weight to self-destruction is abhorrent. The west is diseased by sideline exhortations to extremism.

The repeated use of martyr concerns me. Celebration of self-destruction by unaffected parties strikes me as both entitled and cruel.

Is it not wonderful and wicked, sir? The caress of our people so sinful and soft that our provincials fancy themselves free! What a marvelous empire we are!

Goddammit I wanna click that so bad... Someone else do it and tell me it it's safe. Your sacrifice will be honored in my coming empire.

Wait a minute, now Valentine's Day makes trauma!!??!! Christ alive...

What's wrong with fridging a tomato?

Sounds like you got a criminal's fate. Rebel scum!

They'll scramble F-35s and have her land inside the stadium 90 seconds before kickoff it that's what it takes. Meanwhile, I'll pick the Niners 33-20. Lots of field goals.

I don't know, I'm just riffing. Zorral seems the most like a school counselor to me.

Mrs. Zorral said you wasn't supposed to talk about that! Our feelings are our friends and our friends feel our feelings.

Braincase Jace, Big Bass dbunting, and Tylenol Ty run these threads! Stats Dorks gotta go the long way into the Playoffs chat, through the Home tab.

Well now I can't change it, it's too funny. My only hope is to pretend I was being meta... that's it. I was being meta!

Go for it dawg. Just remember you're doing this to have fun and you'll do fine. Sernpidal's moon ain't gonna fall on ya if you make a faux pass, baby.

I say you and me shove these nerds into some lockers and skip 3rd period to smoke behind the gym shed.

What is... Shouting From A Balcony in Munich? I mean, I'm down with a lot of things... but going to jail over your kid not showing up at school??

That's fucking horrible! That poor poor guy. Fuck.

The King: "Lo and obey, thine kingdom! From sea to sea shall be a world for me unrabbled by thee!" The Lealists: The Rabble: "From yonder seat mine king, a better song should sing!"

Maybe it's just my own little circles I'm observing, then. My fam doesn't care, none of my friends even seem aware... I brought up the deaths of Americans in a discord (where my pals were playing a war game) and there was no reaction at all.

You probably know more about it than me. It just seems obvious that Zelenskyy has staked his political, historical, character as the reclaimer of Ukraine. That just has certain attachments implied - namely, ejecting the Russians. And I just don't know how you do that...

Westeros.org: Civil War But seriously, like guys... we're basically at war (again). Is this not some bizarre shit? I feel like it's barely even news. Has the American public become so divested of interest and agency that a new West Asia conflict gets the political equivalent of a shrug and a handwave? What a marvelous and wicked people we are!

Maybe, but it seems to me that they're gonna need that 400,000 either way.

Snap guess: Zelensky wants another offensive. The General knows better.

What's your take on that last one, Kal? I feel like it's some surreal illustrative on the fragmentation of our society. We're practically at war and, like... nobody seems to care?
