Most people don’t eagerly place themselves in the part of the Nazis.

You realize Lugers were very famously the weapons of the Nazi officer class, and Einstein very famously had to flee Nazi Germany?
As long as it’s not the other interpretation

1·2 years agoI was getting ads for a very blatant scam. They used extremely well known buzzwords for it too, it’s actually embarrassing that it could have passed even automated screening.

That happened in Vietnam too. And Libya. And Venezuela… And the Spanish Republic… And
Literally the only time it’s happened to me is on here (or MAGA, rather) from liberals pretending to be leftists because they don’t know what words mean and think criticizing Biden is supporting Trump.

Are you claiming that Victorian England could take modern America in a fight?
“Based on user data, we have scrapped the whole ‘questing’ system and turned BG3 into a Halsin dating sim.”
It’s worth noting the mutable nature of myths in Medusa’s case in particular.
In the oldest forms of the story where she is recognizable as her own character, she was just a hideous monster who turned people to stone with her sheer ugliness and was, presumably, a bit of a public health hazard. This being when Medusa is a Gorgon, one of three. Perfect quest bait for a hero. Add in a King trying to get him killed with the quest so he can bang Perseus’s mom and you’ve got enough drama to keep people interested.
That, however, wasn’t sexy enough for the horny ass Greek artists, who began depicting her as a beautiful woman with snake hair and the myth changed into the more dramatic form of her being cursed by Minerva for defiling her temple with Poseidon (consent levels variable by story teller).
This changed the story from a generic heroic quest into the tragic form popular today, that tripped over its own horniness and fumbled the character motivations.
Possibly deliberately, as the myths became propaganda tools with various city states claiming this god or that hero as their patrons. And, ironically, the idea of Smexy Snake Lady Medusa might be a return to form, but that requires bringing up the phrase “proto-Indo-European” and you can’t prove any of it, so all I’ll say is, food for thought, Athena’s early depictions also sometimes showed her as a sexy snake lady.
As a fun note, the idea of using a mirror to either petrify her with her own visage or to indirectly see her is a relatively new addition to the myth. In the shift from “hideous monster” to “smoking babe with magic snake hair and a gaze attack” there were versions of Perseus where his clever plan to slay her was… Killing her in her sleep.

Nah, I’m not saying they’re all Russian, but they’re clearly compromised somewhere. A lot of somewheres.

There was definitely a Black Mirror about it.
Sidenote: It’s weird to me that more people don’t talk about the inevitability of that one with the soldiers with cybernetic HUD implants that, shocking twist later, can make civilians look like monsters to be purged.
On the other hand, why bother when the Boston Dynamics murderbots are probably cheaper?
Where are the domlemmys?
If you made friends, it taught you social skills.
The problem with gifted students is that they can struggle connecting with those who don’t enjoy abstract thinking, theory, etc, but at the same time it was one period of your school day, you had all the others including recess and lunch to learn that.




Ok bro that empathizes with Nazis
