Nice! However, between starting University, and whatever the heck this is, I don't know if I'll be able to try it at any point soon.
...Is P3 the one that has the really long dungeons, or was that P3P?

The poll will be going down in about 12 hours from now!

I'm serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which will run for a period of two(2) years assuming nothing earth-shattering occurs to get me sent home early(or killed, however unlikely that possibility may be). Appreciate the good reads, it's been good to chill with you, I hope you'll all still be kicking when I get back. If you'd like to get emails from me then please PM me your email so I can add you to the list.
Good luck! One of my friends got back from a mission recently, and he loved his experience. We shall miss you, and look forward to seeing you in a while!

Please ignore my team, they're trying their best.
...Also, oof, some of these were really hard to choose.

Like, you're right that using the Aztec's own faults to justify the Spanish conquest is not okay. But what's also not okay is to sweep the fact those faults still happened. Or that even if not, the Aztecs were doing the very thing the Spanish would do to them.

problem with Al Jazeera is that it might -despite its own claims to the contrary- be a mouthpiece of the Qatari government.
Yeah. Though, in some ways I don't mind that, since essentially any news source is the mouthpiece for one idealogy or faction or another. A Qatari perspective is different enough that I think it provides a pretty interesting angle on the world that the orgs here don't have.
Or maybe I'm particularly easily swayed by propaganda, I dunno.

One could say it might be better if DeSantis won, since Trump's ego won't let him accept that and chose to run third party, thus splitting the vote. Then again...
I suppose tha would work too. Though that reminds me, what happens if the charges against Trump go forward and he can't run? DeSantis would pretty much win by deafult, right?

Churroburgers become the new official food of Spain. And Catalonia is renamed to Texas or something.

Oof, I think. Hopefully your next job is also pretty manageable and interesting!

I guess that's what makes them conspiracies...
I guess I'm just apalled because Catalan separatism as a movement has such a tangible motivation and cause- There's absolutely nothing shady about why many Catalan people want to be independent.
3 hours ago, Armagon said:DeSantis' talking points are almost full-on Nazi. Like they are thinly veiled.
Yeah, he genuinely scares me. Beyond even his stances on immigration and LGBTQ stuff, and me personally not being a fan of conservative economics... The laws he's passed and tried to pass in Florida that give him more power are terrifying. Like, that anti-mob thing he tried to pass in 2020 is genuinely dystopian- It gives vigilantes immense power to use firearms protesters with impunity, and basically just makes any kind of large protest illegal, regardless of nature. Erasure of the history of racism in America and a general perspective of making "anti-americanism" something to be combatted is really threatening to democracy as well. Add that to how he's trying to go after Disney, an enormous player in Florida's economics, for daring to speak against him, and the Jan. 6 insurrection that already happened... Yeah.
I admit I don't know much about how diplomacy works, but I feel like he'd be disastrous in the international arena as well.
2 hours ago, GuardianSing said:El Salvador managed to quell down the gang violence to levels not seen in over 90 years and this is because the president cut a lot of the legal trouble that came from gangs by basically arresting anyone who was suspected to be part of a gang without trial
...Which is a huge human rights violation and likely many innocent people have been jailed but it destroyed gang violence to a monumental level so he's really popular among voters.
Yeah, I'm not so sure what to think of the El Salvador move. Maybe I'll understand when I'm older?
I think the situation merited drastic action, but all the same... Well, drastic action and skipping of judicial processes is dangerous. I've been trying to keep a closer watch of world news lately (though I might be too reliant on Al Jazeera as a news site, it's probably best to use multiple), and... Well, it seems like it's going well so far?
What I think I'm most excited for in world happenings right now is Colombia's mostly based president trying to shake things up. I really hope he's able to do what he's set out to do...

George Soros is the Jewish person modern day Nazis think is secretly running the world with money.
But, like... Catalan independence has had a movement for a really damn long time, and really, if you look at history... Well, it kind of speaks for itself. Even if one were a conspiracy theorist, I really don't see how anyone could logically even come up with this conclusion...
7 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said:Like I said, they're wannabe Trumpers. Guess their rise means we too want to be America.
I still think it's the funniest (and also scariest) thing ever that DeSantis is running with the platform of making America into Florida when Florida is known for being terrible. Especially under DeSantis.
...I never thought I'd be cheering for feckin' Trump of all people to win the presidential nominations...

Congrats to you guys, I guess.
Speaking of, I did a bit of research on that far-right party to see how it stacks up to America, and...
QuoteOn the other hand, the party has appealed to conspiracy theories invoking the figure of George Soros as a mastermind behind Catalan separatism

Hi, I recently got into the series via Three Houses. I'm no stranger to srpgs since I've also played MegaTen's Devil Survivor duology, in hindsight I'm surprised I didn't try out Awakening or 3DS Fire Emblem back then 🤔
But back to Three House, I've completed Verdant Wind and Crimson Flower so far - I'm currently in the middle of Azure Moon. It's really gotten me hooked on the franchise, I even bought Shadows of Valentia to play later. Will definitely play the older titles as well.
Welcome to the forest! We hope that you'll have a great day and that you'll enjoy your stay.
Say hi to Majima for me if you see him, ok?

Also, Elen got speed. Am I proud of her. She has also missed her third best growth four times in a row, but like, eh. Speed.
I remember dropping my FE6 Ironman because my Elen had two magic at level 20 (not two magic levels, just... literally two magic), while also having, like, +4 speed and +5 defense...

If you're willing to try an online course for therapy, I can highly recommend The Happiness Trap! It helped me a ton in some hard times.
