You can write something in english that's gender ambiguous and still fairly comfortable to read, yeah. Some of the stuff you have to do to do it reads a little awkwardly when you're first seeing it, but the sensibilities adjust. They/them/their, using the proper name, using titles, stuff like "person in question", etc., so forth, so on. Th'language isn't entirely geared for gender neutral (we really need a gender neutral pronoun that doesn't dehumanize/objectify) and there's still some language shift going on regarding that, but english is definitely one of the easier languages to completely omit gender from. One of the comparatively few, honestly. Lot of stuff has gender built right into the words/grammar/etc. (which can actually make things awkward at times when you've got something like folks doing something that was gender locked when the word first came around, ferex).

Hyotl space magic oil. It doesn't float, except when it does. Which state it's in depends on the needs of the user! The future is then. E: The secret ingredient is Hyotl.

Damnit, internet commercials. When you tell me "Bleu is passion", you get my hopes up for a Breath of Fire spinoff of epic ham.

But no. You're just some bullshit food commercial. Damn you to snake person hell. I wasn't a prospective customer anyway, but for this chain yank I never will be. *vile mutterings*

LoGH... wasn't that that odd mecha/space opera thing? Fairly lengthy manga counterpart? *checks* Mm... no thinking of something else, I think. Damn, that's going to bother me. Heard of it before, though.

Anyway. Looking forward to the LP going further, especially once it passes where the last one ended. Should... probably finish catching up with it, at some point, ha.

It's directly above the enter/return key on most keyboards I've seen. It can usually produce the | and \ symbols. \ is default, | is shift+\.

Anything in that post you'd like to discuss now?

S'kinda' notable how you make the leap from "greater sanity" and "lesser evil" to "of sanity" and "greater good". The former doesn't necessarily imply the latter, especially when you're dealing with the american political scene. I haven't seen many people on any point of the political spectrum that has functioning eyes that thinks either party is actually sane or a net good. Just more or less worse than the other on particular issues. Seems to be a fairly steady constant among anyone who doesn't have the partisan prod lodged firmly in their cloaca, be they of a conservative or liberal slant.

But nah, the general hope that I've seen is that pretty much all of those entertainment news bastards choke on something and die. Fox is slightly (slightly) more egregious about their sorts bullshit, so there might be a bit more hope that it dies first (or perhaps just more spectacularly, haha!), but it's fairly standard crap across the spectrum. The larger news sources in the states are just kinda' scummy.

I have to say, in minor happies. Aedis Eclipse has hella' problems. But some of its character portraits just make me giddy.


Somewhat sad I didn't manage a decent screencap of the lizardman with the lightbulb hat.

Indeed. Really, Lava World is more or less a utopia. Excepting the minor issue of everything being basically on fire, the fact that people who just want to watch the world burn have no reason to change the state of things means that everyone just kinda' gets along. S'like... "Sure, I could be an ass, but we're both currently sitting on chairs made literally of everburning liquid stone. This is agonizing (but incredibly comfortable outside of the flesh searing material!) and I don't think I could actually meaningfully make this situation worse for us. I think I'll be nice today. The Infant Incinerating Fumaroles were really beautiful this morning."

It's a great place to live if you can stand a constant ambient temperature in the hundreds of celsius.
