I’m quite fond of communism, personally.

  • In final fantasy 15, Bahamut has Noctis’s face. The first king of Lucis, Ardyn’s brother Somnus, also looks the same. You can never see Bahamut’s full face in-game because his mask covers everything except his eyes, but the novel mentions his appearance explicitly and makes the connection textual. They clearly have a father/son/holy spirit thing going on between them where Ardyn is Satan. Well not clearly, but it’s there.

    Really, the full plot of FFXV could be described as deep lore because it’s scattered between the games, DLCs, movie, book, and OVA. Here’s some more important details that the main game glosses over:

    spoilers, obviously
    • Gladiolus’s dad dies alongside Noctis’s dad in chapter 1
    • Ravus’s arm got melted off from trying to use the magic ring in the chapter 1 siege too
    • the arranged marriage between Noctis and Lunafreya was planned by Ardyn and forced through threat of invasion
    • Prompto is a clone of the evil Niflheim scientist guy and so is every generic soldier you fight

    The communists of China promoted literacy by creating simplified Chinese and developing pinyin. The communists of the West must follow in their footsteps by eliminating all remnants of French.

    But the guy in the original photo was blocking the tanks from leaving the square. As in, he wanted the army to stay and stamp out the rest of the protest.

    Why would Palestinians want Israel and the rest to remain in Palestine?


  • There are some big companies that have loyalty rewards programs and some assign numbers to it, but it’s generally like it is here in the west. It’s not a government thing.

    The government thing is basically just intense accounting. They keep very close track of financial stuff and though it’s mostly aimed at businesses, they also note when individuals take out loans or credit cards and that can impact a person’s life if they default. People and companies can also be blacklisted for stuff like fraud. But again, that’s pretty much the same in the west too.

    It’s true that there is less anonymity in China though because people have to use their real names for everything. Like on social media, even if a user has a screen name, their legal name is still tied to their account through their phone number or internet connection or associated bank account (you can do online shopping through basically every Chinese app) or all of the above. Westerners nominally have more privacy in that regard but let’s be real, if a western government wanted to know who’s behind an “anonymous” internet post, they would know.










  • The sheer amount of dedication it takes to keep up a ruse for that long is astonishing. He made it all the way to leadership of Utah, that’s ridiculous!

    And he probably could’ve gone even further since I don’t think it was necessary for him to bail when he did. He only sent an email warning a local politician about a death threat. It’s the US, I figure that’s a routine thing. The woman calling for the assassination could reasonably have been blamed for the leak instead since she’s a civilian who probably doesn’t practice good security. Idk it just doesn’t seem as incriminating to me as it did to him.
