#Warhammer40K writers should explain why a #SpaceMarine bolter, (shown to scale) is supposedly the same as a Bolter used by someone who isn't a Space Marine.
There have to be multiple varieties, sizes and ammo loads. It's implied... but never confirmed.

America's allies aren't abandoning the US solely because of Trump — they're abandoning it because no one is stopping him.
Congress won't block, courts won't strike down, Republicans actively help. The system's checks and balances aren't.
That's not a Trump problem; that's institutional failure.

My work is treated as a failure because I refused to recognize how the Internet was slowly turning against the very premise of my work, and I didn't adapt to the contrary nature of our contentious world.
Someone able to create open-ended, but less accurate work could go viral —where I never could.

How much truth do we need in our day to day lives? Enough to make meaningful decisions which don't result in people dying when we discover we didn't know everything.
Meaning more than we get right now from our President...

Few things fulfilled the relationship requirements of one Vlad Tepes — the feline, Persephone, was one such individual. Rapacious, beautiful, graceful, she charmed her prey until they begged for her favors.
However, the two were often at odds at the strangest of times.

The Orange Menace has proven that he can make it a profit engine if he keeps enough blackmail on Congress.
Wonder why Congress is standing there while he loots the nation? Know that he learned political blackmail from the master:
Jeffrey Epstein.
I contend he's got dirt on any who votes for him.

You pardon white criminals who attacked the Capitol building, injuring 138 to 174 police officers during the January 6, 2021 attack, later sacrificed on the alter of political expediency and lies.

I promised myself I wouldn't spend today watching bad people deconstruct society for profit.
This whole immigration issue is: making money off of misery, from hunting, holding, storing and deporting immigrants, a profit engine worth HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS.

When someone asks me to define white privilege:
“When you are white, you get to rape children and not only become President but retain the Presidency, weaponizing the Department of Justice for your protection, despite overwhelming evidence.”
Any questions?

Worse, like a tick, he is dug in and we will have to burn the nation to remove him and his shit-for-brains loyalists.
Have you read any of the Epstein files yet?

A COUPLE OF POINTS
1. Given what we have seen, everyone mentioned in the Epstein files should lose their job or be ineligible for work in the government.
2. Impeach everyone running cover for Donald Trump's administration. Every single one of them knew. Their loyalty is their undoing.

As America prepares to build its concentration camps, boosts its military to subjugate the populace, I choose to walk away from the struggle because we never had to be here.
Don't come to my door. Don't. Do. That. If you bring your war to me, I will bring Hell back to you.
Let me die in peace.

Focused on what I can get out of life, preying on the weak and the vulnerable until we extinguish ourselves in an orgy of money, mayhem and madness.
Sounds so liberating when I say it out loud.
No. I shall refuse the Ring and go quietly into the West, diminished, but as myself.

Why bother to write about any of what is happening in America? I can't stop it from happening and trying to prevent it from happening went poorly.
At this point, I am just shortening my lifespan due to stress over something I cannot change, only witness.
