Well yeah, English likes to be awkward. You can row a row of boats while rowing, but nobody will quite know what you mean.

Well, until they get into a row that is.

Bill Burr explained his idea for genocide, and while it was absolutely hilarious...

... I kinda think someone should do it.

""We found that when one person called the other a Nazi, the subject’s mind was immediately changed, no matter what topic was being discussed, almost every time,” a Purdue rep told reporters. “More respectful tactics like trying to listen to the person’s perspective, using logic, appealing to emotions, pointing out fallacies, or merely agreeing to disagree were almost totally ineffective, but as soon as any of the subjects played the Nazi card, their dialogue partner was almost instantly swayed to their way of thinking.”

“The data is clear: calling someone a Nazi is a persuasive, compelling way to communicate ideas,” he added.

According to university researchers, screaming at the top of your lungs that the person you are conversing with is “literally Hitler” is similarly effective."

"Ken Ham Ejected From Theater For Yelling ‘WRONG’ Every Time ‘Jurassic World’ Actors Say ‘65 Million Years’"

From that article: "Reports confirm Ham was charged with disorderly conduct and faces jail time of up to 6 literal days."

"Neil DeGrasse Tyson Obnoxiously Points Out Scientific Inaccuracies At ‘Avengers’ Screening"

The trouble began when an exposition-heavy scene revealed that the film’s plot revolved around the collection of a set of “infinity stones” which could threaten humanity’s very existence.

“Actually, stones are simply aggregates of various types of minerals, and could not possibly contain the kind of infinite power indicated in this film,” Tyson said loudly, drawing glares from those sitting around him. “This is ridiculous.”

Tyson also balked at the physics of Iron Man’s suit, Spider-Man’s web-slinging, and the portals created by Dr. Strange. The scientist even loudly scoffed when Thor came onscreen, whispering to a friend that “gods don’t exist.”

“Furthermore, the very notion of a ‘spider-man’ flies in the face of evolutionary biology,” Tyson added before booing loudly at a scene in which a vacuum is created by a breach in the side of a spacecraft.

the "stones" thing is almost perfectly in character for him, god damn

Remember to curse loudly when your alchemist throws fire on your favorite hero.

Bit late, but good advice.

The game also spawned my team two squares away from a cluster of 5 suicider-bombers.  But it's fine, I happen to have a glut of alchemists.  Time for some wildly inaccurate SCIENCE

The soundtrack for that game was done by an excellent crew. I recommend looking them up.

Granny smiled, "Don’t think too much. We are all normal people in the village. We are all so poor that we are struggling to make ends meet. In addition, we are all disabled elderly, thus everything is normal in our ordinary village. If you suspect that Mute’s chest is full of sword pellets, you might as well suspect that the water cauldron at that corner is also a treasure!"

Qin Mu looked at the water cauldron that she talked about. The cauldron was placed under the roof of the workshop to collect the rainwater, however, the weird thing was that Qin Mu had never seen the water cauldron being filled to the brim before. No matter how big the rain was, the water cauldron was always half full!

Furthermore, the water in the cauldron had never run out as well much less being completely empty. Mute used buckets and buckets of water during blacksmithing and yet the water in the cauldron remained the same!

Granny Si saw the doubt in his eyes and felt that her example was wrong, and immediately corrected herself, "You wouldn’t think that the broken pots outside Apothecary’s door are also treasures right?"

Qin Mu looked at the broken pots outside Apothecary’s door. Unknown herbs were planted in the broken pots, along with some little insects like spiders, silkworms, and centipedes.

When the village was flooded just now, some water had gotten into the pots causing a few bugs to crawl out and started fighting on the pot. Suddenly a black spider flew into a fury and its body lit up on flames. The spider then grew into a size of a table and started spewing fire at the other little bugs. Amidst the flames, a few golden silkworms grew wings and became a foot long. They then flew out of the flames and started biting the spider’s body.

Apothecary stuck out his head and chided, causing the bugs to immediately shrink back to their tiny bodies and stay well behaved in the pot.

Qin Mu suspicion grew as Granny Si gave a force smiled and mumbled, "These are all normal occurrences, and nothing unordinary about it…"

I downloaded and started up another game of Massive Chalice this morning. I had forgotten how good the soundtrack was - not Battletech good, but good.
