Surely arrest under Maduro's regime result only of the government interest in serving its people and are in no way connected to any other interests, aye?

The latest protests and political movements working towards removing maduro from his term have come from all sides, specially now food (beef, bread, vegetables and fruits) imports have plummeted hard since late 2016, and production is so inefficient that employees are being forced to work the fields. There are socialists that want Maduro out, this is nothing new. Beef imports have risen in venezuela for the last 10 years because production was gradually decaying, but the constant spenditure in food imports weren't sustainable.

Those glorious spenditures on public health? It was sure fun while money lasted, because public health doesnt seem to be a thing anymore.

The food situation has kind of become a little bit ridiculous as of late, since the government has full control of grain usage, mandating that the bigger part of use be used in bread production, which is, incidentaly, a big source of taxation. Since bakers don't have money to handle the taxation effects on their revenue from selling bread, they decided to sell brownies instead, which aren't as heavily taxed, but were arrested for it. You can only eat the food the government wants you to eat, I guess, specially if the government feels like taxing it.

Not only is it a huge failure of rethoric, its also completely and utterly retarded to compare something like brexit to an attempt to seceed from the goddamn US of A. If thats the kind of leadership the EU chooses, then LEL no wonder GTFOing the EU is an idea thats spreading across France and other places.

Me thinks we get a skewed view of things since, hey, this is general discussion. I think the general majority of the community doenst even touch the lower forums much, if at all. The most active areas of the forum are DF general discussion, other games, forum games and general discussion, me thinks.

And since the general outlook one gets of the general discussion populace is that of a welcoming community that seems supportive of people in general regardless of gender identity and sexual preference, it becomes a place in which non hetero and non cisgender people become more visible. This doesnt necessarily mean the community at large is made up of those people, just that they're far more visible in here, since it gives them a nice place to discuss precisely those things.

That said, there are other online communities that match DF's in regards to its openess to these kind of people. I'd say that our main advantage over these other communities is that we have Toady, who's not only a communicative and hardworking dev, but also a might admin who doesnt take it easy with people that step out of line. Not only that, he's pretty much the only person who has power to do that, so we don't get the usual mod power hijinks other forums get when they start giving some users mod status.

We also have a very diverse community in general, thus we can't really become an echo chamber, as even the most popular opinions get questioned and discussed, and no majority can go full toxic on the minority since they'll face the infinite wrath of the toadhammer, which is kind of what happens in communities that have a lot of people that hold one particular view very strongly (IE stormfront, tumblr tier queer communities, etc). Again, Toady is key to maintaining this kind of space.

Weird/bad Japanese covers of the A Song of Ice and Fire books

My ironic favorites are Edgy Jon and World of Warcraft Jamie, although I legitimately like the final two covers.

Sweet Jesus, that reminds me of final fantasy tactics art for some reason (which doesn't make much sense, since those guys have noses)

Now if only someone would make a game of thrones tactics game :U
