  • kill living beings
    tryna roll with the etymological facts man............
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    The proper title would be AZ-ZAḤḤAQ, MASTER OF 10,000 HORSES, but that's harder to pronounce.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I like "Captain Payne", yes.

    I was trying to come up with a title that conveys status, but most such titles imply a position of authority, while Payne still just serves me.

    Though I suppose "reporting directly to the head-of-state" is deserving of a pretty high rank, now that I think about it.

    Or Aži Dahāka, depending. Middle Persian is hard, you guys. :<

    Also, when did Aldi start accepting credit cards?

    I know up until recently they only accepted debit and EBT cards...

    part of the joke here is that "marshal", which is the highest military rank*, originally meant "stable boy", because you're important if you serve the sovereign regardless of your actual job

    *in some countries, for some military branches

    Hahaha, awesome. That is very Centralian.

    I think I'll save Marshal for Ralph and Carrie Payne, though. That way Lee still has to look up to his grandparents. :P
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I'm still Margrave and Grand Bastard, which should totally be a hereditary/honorary title.
  • My dreams exceed my real life


    I actually want to go read some Swamp Thing comics now.
    Len Wein and Alan Moore's run are classics

    Pasko's is a bit ehhhhh, but it continues the Anton Arcane storyline between Wein and Moore, which is good.

    The Chameleons' song "Swamp Thing" is pretty good too. You might dig it, Odra.
  • we close in 25 minutes

    I'm bored

    Find a yarn ball to bat around.

    (But seriously, being bored at works sucks)
  • We can do anything if we do it together.
    Oh yeah, Vash, for whenever I get around to reading Grant Morrison's Animal Man, since you're around and we're on this topic:

    Are the runs after his worth reading too, or nah?

    See now I'm thinking...where do royal guards even live? Do they have a barracks somewhere? How do they commute to the palace?

    I have no idea, honestly. One of the more recent ones apparently shot for similar weirdness levels and fell a bit short, but that's all I know.
  • We can do anything if we do it together.
    I was asking because it seems like the weirdness kept up until the end of the Vertigo run of the title, but noted.

    *gives the next person a notebook with the official national seal of Centralia on the cover and the motto "BONVM REGINA ESSE" printed beneath it*

    This is for your eyes only.

    Tales of Zestiria the X's OP has fairly boring - if serviceable and pretty - animation, but it's got FLOW in it, so I'm pretty content.

    ...I love that you got the next post there.

    Because I was imagining myself giving away magical secrets, but it's totally in character for you to swoop down and grab the book before I can give important secrets to some rando.

    Haha, wasn't even trying to either.

    This is a nice house and all, but the temperature fluctuations in my bedroom freakin' kill me.

    In the summertime, I have to turn the A/C on and off frequently because it gets too hot with it off but gets too cool if I let it run, even at a low setting, for more than a couple hours at a time.

    In the wintertime, I have to turn the space heater on and off frequently because it gets too cold with it off but gets too warm if I let it run, even at a low setting, for more than a couple hours at time.

    That's Ohio for you, I guess.
  • I just got a free hug at uni

    My only issue is that it was too short

    I like long hugs, gdi

    Mr. Roosevelt is the most formidable disaster that has befallen the country since the Civil War -- but the vast mass of the nation loves him, is frantically fond of him, even idolizes him. This is the simple truth. It sounds like a libel upon the intelligence of the human race, but it isn't; there isn't anyway to libel the intelligence of the human race.

    He was in a skirmish once at San Juan Hill, and he got so much moonshine glory out of it that he has never been able to stop talking about it since. I remember that at a small luncheon party of men at Brander Matthews's house, once, he dragged San Juan Hill in three or four times, in spite of all attempts of the judicious to abolish the subject and introduce an interesting one in its place. I think the President is clearly insane in several ways, and insanest upon war and its supreme glories. I think he longs for a big war wherein he can spectacularly perform as chief general and chief admiral, and go down to history as the only monarch of modern times that has served both offices at the same time.

    Mr. Roosevelt is the Tom Sawyer of the political world of the twentieth century; always showing off; always hunting for a chance to show off; in his frenzied imagination the Great Republic is a vast Barnum circus with him for a clown and the whole world for audience; he would go to Halifax for half a chance to show off and he would go to hell for a whole one.

    The contrast between President Cleveland and the present occupant of the White House is extraordinary; it is the contrast between an archangel and the Missing Link. Mr. Cleveland was all that a president ought to be; Mr. Roosevelt is all that a president ought not to be -- he covers the entire ground.

    Our people have adored this showy charlatan as perhaps no impostor of his brood has been adored since the golden calf; so it is to be expected that the nation will want him back again after he is done hunting other wild animals heroically in Africa, with the safeguards and advertising equipment of a park of artillery and a brass band.

    Mark Twain wasn't subtle about his opinion on Theodore Roosevelt, I see
  • kill living beings
    ok but... grover cleveland?
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Cleveland was anti-imperialist, which was a big plus for Twain
  • kill living beings
    here is what i know about grover cleveland:

    uh...
    i think he was elected nonconsecutively?
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Cleveland was the leader of the pro-business Bourbon Democrats who opposed high tariffsFree Silver, inflation, imperialism, and subsidies to business, farmers, or veterans. His crusade for political reform and fiscal conservatism made him an icon for American conservatives of the era.[2] Cleveland won praise for his honesty, self-reliance, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism.[3] He fought political corruption, patronage, and bossism. As a reformer Cleveland had such prestige that the like-minded wing of the Republican Party, called "Mugwumps", largely bolted the GOP presidential ticket and swung to his support in the 1884 election.[4]
  • Cleveland is noted for having one of the deepest skeleton closets in an elected candidate, what with sticking his mistress in an asylum and all.

    I think he was also kind of corrupt?

    I like how whenever people want to do some sweet dunks about how INSERT SOCIAL ILL HERE caused the fall of Rome, they always forget about the bit where the capital of the empire was moved from Rome to Milan, or the bit where there was a whole Eastern division of the empire that continued to exist for a thousand years after the Western half fell.

    I like the guy who said the grain dole was the reason the empire collapsed and that goddamn welfare state.

    Note: The grain dole was instituted before the republic BECAME an empire, and lasted for its entire lifespan
