Its a redraw of the commonly meme'd panel of ~~superman~~ ultraman sniffing up green kryptonite dust (that looks like fart gas, hence the memeing) from Suicide Squad #5

Not really a controversy, apparently they were planning on completely shadow dropping the game today without any prior marketing but Geoff Keighley supposedly persuaded them to let him showcase it at the game awards as the final trailer.

Whether money changed hands for the ill advised trailer or Geoff really believed in the project and did it for free (or some combination thereof) is up for debate.

Can't they just trust that viewers will go to tvtropes for an explanation if they felt they missed something

The discourse environment has changed.

In the past edgy atheists were engaging with the mask christofascism was wearing, that's why they were able to dunk on creationism and the inanity of some biblical stories. Nowadays no one talks about creationism and talking about warfare in the name of god and dashing babies against the rocks just gets one million Asmonmolds going "Based 🤪"

Always evil races, or armies of questionally sapient drones that act as convenient meat waves for the protagonists to cut down are worth scrutinizing and critiquing even if their narrative purpose (being convenient meat waves for combat set pieces) is obvious enough.

However, in those examples, orcs, goblins, bugs, darkspawn, what have you, the protagonists generally aren't in the situation of being presented with their child forms and having to kill them. Again, because their purpose is threatening armies. They're often even born as adults for this purpose.

Frieren is the one that looks directly into the camera and says No, you Must kill the child. Sympathizing or showing mercy is the wrong choice, you Must snuff them out wherever you find them, because they will grow up to be dangerous and subversive No Matter What because that is their nature

and I don't think they had to do that. and yeah that's much closer to fascist propaganda than it is Tolkien orcs

For what its worth I have nothing against bodybuilders sourcing their gray market peptides and the facebook wine moms coming to their forums to find the best overseas sources probably know what they're in for wrt the risks.

Since universal healthcare is apparently impossible in the US, the next best case scenario for these drugs is that they get generics and are cheap and abundant and most importantly medical providers are educated about them enough to provide proper guidance to patients wanting to be on them.

If you have family history of thyroid issues, assess your risk profile. If changes in blood sugar have impacted your eyesight in the past, assess your risk profile. If you have/had gastro complications in the past, assess your risk profile.

If you take oral medications, you need to monitor your reactions because the meds can slow your body's absorption of them. This includes birth control

Set a minimum amount of caloric intake to reach, set protein goals as well as resistance training especially if over 50 because muscle loss via weight loss can be a big problem

and for the love of god, if you haven't shit in a week, SEEK MEDICAL CARE IMMEDIATELY

The stuff is ludicrously easy and cheap to mass produce, but afaik the company is bottlenecking itself by only selling the product in their specialty injector pens.

Meanwhile less scrupulous individuals (ie it's discussed a lot in bodybuilder communities) can buy years worth of it for pennies on the dollar from Chinese medical labs who are the same ones producing it for places like med spas that also are charging hundreds of dollars for it.

Meanwhile diabetics as well as people with other prescriptions for these drugs (ie obstructive sleep apnea, pcos, insulin resistance) get to deal with the jacked up brand prices and their ✨️insurance providers✨️ denying coverage because of said price gouging

my hot take is that disney was so scared of Finn/Poe shippers that they invented a love interest for Finn and wrote one of the worst cinematic subplots ever all for the sake of keeping Finn and Poe from interacting with each other.

...wait that's not even a hot take that's just literally what happened lmao

Looking forward to illegally importing China's OS and GPUs into the country for my future vram guzzling modded Skyrim playthrough 5 years from now
