Yeeaah... if you're short legged, it would probably pay off to learn how to hem pants, or at least have someone nearby to call on with the ability. Or just roll with oversized pants, I guess. I'll admit, I do that a fair bit. Been too lazy to learn to hem.

Though option for the waist and whatnot, at the very least slacks do come with elastic waists. I've got... one of those, at the moment. Need more. Massively more comfortable and less trouble than pretty much all my other social leg covering devices.

Jeans do, too, actually, but they mostly seem to be gender focused on women in that case, which may or may not be a problem. And fairly uncommon regardless. Still, they're out there. When you can't have properly fitted clothes, remember technology can ease the pain.

Actually, the reason you don’t believe in fairy tales is probably because believing in fairy tales gets you socially ostricised.
Point of order, but... not so much. Fairy tales and, more on the point, folk tales are still told and believed in a number of places without the least whit of social rebuffing, nevermind their prevalence in the past. Not believing (or, at least, professing belief) in any number of small tales can actually be what gets you ostracized, often enough. The thousand and one tiny superstitions about luck, the local but widely believed within the area stories of ghosts and ghoulies and whatnot... they're still very much there, and taken very seriously in many places. I've personally heard tales swapped with utmost seriousness and more or less accepted, with tales swapped back in tones just as serious, about things in the swamps and ghosts on the bridges, and that's stateside where thin pickings regarding local myths is a very well known phenomena.

meanwhile, slightly to the east, the high today is 77. It is very windy (tornado watch!), but it won't top off below 70 again until friday :-\

And we've got some upper 80s in south florida :V

Eh, from what I understand it's not really that unusual. Not common, but not a terrible surprise. Have to remember hail forms pretty high up, iirc, and just 'cause it's warm near the ground don't mean it is way on up there.

... that said, increases in unusual weather have kiiiiinda' been predicted, sooooo...

Couple thousand years, apocalypses deferred, and several of them will probably have been made.

So now the question is what's immobile, probably mindless, and can be kitted out to teleport (or whatever your movement ritual of preference is, I guess) :V

...

... I will admit, I'm now imagining someone wishing up several (dozen) monoliths, splurging (more) gems on them to make them remote movement capable, and then dropping them all on someone's capital (preferably with an immobile pretender). "Rocks fall, everyone dies."

It's like logical science, rather than experimental science, usually. When something turns out not to work, you don't scrap the whole lot as bunk. Freud was wrong on a lot of stuff, but he also had some excellent points and advanced psychology quite a bit in other ways.
I'm... pretty sure "logical science" doesn't exist as a thing. It's, just. Neither of those two things work like that. There's experimental sciences and then there's... stuff that's not science,* even if there can be a lot of non-experimental work involved in the former. I guess hegel tried to science-y logic or somethin' like that, but it's just... not something that really works...

It's not like literary analysis and whatnot isn't a thing, or that logic needs science or vice-versa to be meaningful (well, the latter might need the former to be even remotely coherent, but still). Just... p... please don't do that to science. Or logic. They don't deserve that sort of manhandling.

*Note, that stuff can still be great and useful and potentially truth-seeking and everything, it's just not science. That's okay! Just... don't draw parallels. They're not there.

fakeE: Also modern theology in any academic setting is rigorous as fuck at anything beyond the very lowest levels. Seriously, a bunch of that chump-ass seminary crap may be runnier than diuretic weasel shit, but most higher level stuff with two dead possums worth of credibility to rub together runs a pretty tight ship, from what I've seen.

12098
So... basically nothing like science. You'd probably be better drawing a parallel to math or somethin'. It's a bit closer to that sort of "interpreting from axiomatic base" kind of thing. Just the base is considerably fuzzier and the axioms in (more) regular contention.

... isn't that more or less just swatting? Can't recall if/how many that kind of thing's managed to kill/hospitalize so far.

It does, from what I recall of being around folks that smoked the loose stuff. Don't quite remember what it was like, but it definitely wasn't near as godawful as the smell of the smoke.

Chewing kind still smells pretty bad, for what it's worth. They do stuff to that, though, iirc. If the material used is just the raw leaf, it probably isn't as bad.

So does he team up with vampire hunter lincoln or is it just a zolo act?

oxycodone is great

hey, everybody, if you wanna ask bauglir for a favor, now's the time!
Dance, white boy! If you ain't white, get a bucket of paint! If you ain't a boy, grab yo' sausage from the fridge and fake it!

Maybe do both even if you are. Then record it and upload to the internet, never to be forgotten.

They seem to still be there, for me. The 418 page also seems to be running fine, at least on my end of things

It... looks like you can get 093 here? I didn't check too hard to see if the mod was actually working appropriately, just checked whether the link was functioning.

You probably actually want the one here, though. 0.9.3 is for dominions 3, the fork/port/whatever for dominions 4 appears to be up to 0.2.3.
