DerpSentry is love, DerpSentry is life. Give me DerpSentry.

Fundamentally we're all African in origin so there's no point.

A bowl of cereal, any kind of sandwich, or a quesadilla.

Until recently I basically haven't had fast food in a decade. But since starting the night-shift there's been moments where I forgot or didn't have the time to pack a lunch so I'll end up going over to McDonalds to get a Big Mac or some Chicken Nuggets. And even then it's an uncommon occurrence, maybe once every other month or two. Subway though is something like once or twice a week when I'm at school because they got a place right there on campus and it's quick, easy, and I'm more comfortable with Subway than I am Pizza Hut.

Not until Congress gets off its ass and admits Puerto Rico as a state, as opposed to keeping it as an unorganized, unincorporated territory. By all respects it should be a state by now. It has all the qualifications.

Gee, whadda lotta concrete jungle. Maybe if we look somewhere else in New York? Unless skyscrapers are green, still not seeing them. nope Conclusion: New York isn't New York City. That'd be like saying South-East England is all London, fam.

Because when you have to a refer to a group broadly it's generally easier to refer to them by the larger demonym than to inquire or throw the dice per specific persons in any one of the fifty states in the Union and its handful of territories. Further, people within the nation also migrate and move about more at ease than someone would migrating between here and Canada or Mexico, legally. So cultural uniqueness between them becomes very diffused and relatively lost to the point that cultural heritage extends towards college football loyalties. The level of migration does more for a regional identity and less so a state identity. It'd be more accurate to call someone a Yankee, Midwesterner, Pacific (South or North Westerner), Southern/Dixie, Texas, and Alaskan where the dialect and habits that'd make an actual identity become much more pronounced. But really, the "cultural differences" shared between the states and even the cultural regions of the country isn't as severe as cultural differences are inside some other countries. I'm looking at you, China. And some of these groups even don't even speak languages that are a part of the same language family as mainstream-Han. Or worship the same way. Yet bar a few exceptions, they all admit to being Chinese.

Adventure. Dear God, get me out of here.

Well the state has skiing that's really the only major thing that comes to mind, and what state has always had based on my image of it. It's winter, the slopes should be excellent now. Unless it's getting so deep into winter the lodges are going to become full-on The Shining.

Tengri is great. Tengri is love. That aside, consider for a moment that the term "pagan" is really a term used to describe those who at least are not members of the Abrahmic faiths; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. So you pretty much have a pretty thing ahead of you. As well, some pagan beliefs - at least those pertaining to Europe - are largely reconstructions and understanding them if from an academic standpoint leads down the road of romanticism since the revival in ancient German, Slavic, Finnic, and Baltic faith stems from a romanticist yearning for the noble old days. These being respectively: Heathenism, Rodnoveri, Suomenusko, Romuva. Or for something like Egyptian revival you have Kemetism. Still practicing, unbroken pagan faiths may include: Voodoo/Vodou, Zoroastrianism, Tengrism, Hinduism, Taosim, Buddhism, Jainism, Shinto, and any of the unique global shamanist and animist believes unique to any part of the world and which don't necessarily have a name or may take too long to prattle on.

That he shall pave the way to glorious revolution by his very existence. That he shall be the Fulgencio Batista of the Americas. Or if all else fails we enter into a wild ride of politics and internal shitposting in which case hold onto your caps and become a politico, because you're only going to be able to best appreciate the drama as one. Or you'll be drawn into it by the storm that shall come.

I think by the time you return the show'll still be in hiatus mode so nothing'll change and these requests fall on deaf ears. Oh well. Since you're going on vacation: I hear Colorado's a destination this time of year. Go forth person on your non-vacation vacation. May you travel the waves and roads of your imagination as you sit imprisoned in your own life. tfw I want to get out

ITT: people would want to live at a time period where they'd live to the ripe old age of dead-at-thirty-five. No time like the present time.

Because in art really the best way to actively portray something as being the antagonist you tend to make them ugly, unless you're running a comedy then you make something ugly to subvert established themes in serious media to make a joke. But on the whole for actual drama whatever is evil is usually ugly in some way. The Wicked Witch is green and has a wart, Shakespeare made Richard III a hunchback, The Emperor from Star Wars is an obscenely wrinkled old man and some strange parchment-white humanoid alien, Jabba's Jabba, and so on. The same applies to demons. Almost world-over demonic creatures are ugly creatures by their true nature. They might take on a beautiful form - like a young woman - to lure people. But they're generally really deformed things. That said, Supernatural has had some pretty attractive demons - granted they had hijacked someone's body - in the show, in a sort of cable TV way.

The important thing to keep in mind is that apart from a lack of eye-lashes, feminine form is most often defined by round figures or edges. Masculine form is most often associated with "harder" or straight lines and sharper edges. A stallion pony could just as well have a short muzzle, but the show's mare muzzle is designed to be distinctly feminine in form: soft and round. The opposite can be said of mares with too many hard edges and sharp angles: they look more masculine. This has been an aspect that causes confusion in the style of CaptainHoers: his style is reliant on hard edges and it tends to make his mares very androgynous, if not straight up Rule 63 them to some people.

Well, let's break down the year. As it were on the national stage: - Apart from incidences of mass shootings, I am just as likely now to be shot today as I would in 1962. - 2016 continues the trend towards lower single-digit employment. - Despite being lower than it should, this year's wage growth is still higher than last year's earnings and the years before that dating back several years. - No large scale terrorist attack in the United States this year. As I stand this year: I actually got a higher paying job. Now, if I were working closer to forty hours a week I'd be better but I can live with it. I'm not dead I haven't gotten into any serious injury I haven't had a car accident this year My bills are paid I got around to upgrading my computer Per the bad: Old celebrities did as old celebrities do: die. So brtty gud all in all. 8/10

I forgot about this dump. http://aaronmk.deviantart.com/art/The-Great-Mistletoe-Plot-653824316 http://aaronmk.deviantart.com/art/As-Above-So-Below-653597236

inb4 you realize the Vatican's security procedures are tight-lipped and when you fail to pass your background checks the Swiss Guard will politely ask you to please walk down the street and back into Italy.

There's specific names with heroic connotations? Last I checked no one necessarily names their child "killer" or anything morbid, even back in the middle ages, or if they're not me playing CK2. Or perhaps you're going to be concerned about the relative culture the character is from, and so while his name may have heroic connotations to an Anglo-Saxon might ring notes of sinister intent? I can see how a Sir Welhelm, Sir Leninov or a Sir VanDemonn might sound far less noble or romantic than a Sir Christopher, Sir Marquet, or a Sir George of Stonewall. Ultimately the name of a character gets its weight based on what the character is connected to or does. The name is neutral. Depending on what themes in your story or world you want to be active, then tying characters to that theme will do more for the name than the name itself. As a basic and quick example: if you want to play a Thomas Jefferson and suggest everyone from cities are corrupt ass holes than anyone who might have in their name "Of [big City/Burrough/]" with a minor noble title will help to define them as being antagonistic or untrustworthy when the over-all theme is established and we know that generally speaking those with simple names and/or with something like "of [location]shire/county" are the good guys. Because in the end, the Shire evokes among the initiated... ... proper down-to-earth country simplicity.

Yet without a little assertion on the point - or memery - then whatever point gets lost in weak-wristed politeness that loses what could be discussed beyond self-affirming hand shaking. This thread has in it, by virtue of its broad topicality, the potential of being like a sort of Akbar's Ibadat Khana.

Paganism isn't exclusive to only Wicca, fam a lam. And given 'pagan' is or was a catch-all term for anyone not being of the Judaic faiths - Jewish, Christian, Islam - then "You can't make claims like that when it comes to religious beliefs" is kind of incorrect in of itself, since it ignores the broad range of religious traditions in present or past cultures. Namely as it applies to the Marquis Zhuangmou. And so: let's explore for the sake of topical discussion. Guan Yu was a general in the army of Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. His character his regarded being a man of great loyalty. After his death, the Sui dynasty in recognition of his talents and his qualities, in particular to his stories as it pertains to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Since then, Guan Yu (as Guāndì or Guāngōng) has been revered as the Chinese god of righteousness and brotherhood. He's not strictly the War God, but he is a notable general who did some pretty kick-ass war craft for his time and is revered for that. He isn't exclusive to Chinese paganism either, and he's pretty involved in eastern religion as it applies to Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism where he has his own duties (in the case of Buddhism, he basically converted post-mortem when his ghost appeared before a Zen master and then on he defend the temple and the dharma). This sort of thing isn't particularly unheard of. Gaius Octavia Augustus and Julius Caesar both were deified after their deaths by the Roman state and honored as gods. While this represents an extreme idea of venerating living people as gods post-death ancestral veneration is highly revered in Asia and Africa, so it isn't much of a stretch that powerful figures such as Guan Yu can become deities in their own right. And so: what's not to say under the voodoo and Chinese precepts that an ancestor who was a soldier, or a presently living person who was a soldier and then dies, is incable or interceding on someone's life to grant some form of protection or blessing?
