Yes, without Britain, there would be no steam engine, steam trains, telephones, parliamentarism, modern constitutionalism, English as the lingua france, penicillin, end of the slave trade, ATMs, logarithms, Shakespeare, the theory of evolution and so much more.
In 1000 years, once we have gotten over neurotic jealously and third worlidsm, people will look at Britain with more admiration than we look at Ancient Greece today. It is quite evidently the greatest nation the world has ever seen. It's not even particularly close.
It was created to give an excuse to have super epic cool giant tiny space knights with flaming swords n sh*t fighting demons on cathedral spaceships because it was cool to them.
This idea the game was created as a work of politician and religious satire isn't even secondary, it's like third-ary. The religious elements were there because it looked metal af. They just wanted heavy metal sci fi album covers to come to life on the tabletop. People didn't make nerd stuff back then out of spite or some politician statement about extremism and xenophobia, they created stuff just to have fun.

This is a post I never thought I would have to make, but our beloved communities deserve to know. My brother, @Kon_zetsu, has passed away. He was our whole world and now a giant piece of it is missing.
Please check on your loved ones and take depression seriously. You never know what will be your last moment with them.
Life can change in a second. The world you know disappears forever. Nothing is guaranteed, not time, not long nights spent together gaming and laughing, not the people you love. So please love louder, appreciate deeper, make your love known, because what feels so normal today could be something you desperately wish for tomorrow.

occasional reminder that the reason women took on heavy duty, necessary, dirty jobs during ww2 is that the men temporarily moved to heavier dutier, necessarier, dirtier jobs.
Urinals aren’t some sort of special treat the boys get. They’re used because of scale. It’s a business decision. Urinals are smaller, use less material, & less space. They’re cheaper to implement. You almost never have to unclog them.
It’s not that difficult to figure out.
Monster Hunter in concept: I'm going to kill this magic dinosaur for ''ecological preservation'' then turn its skin into boots, but I actually need a rare gem formed in its arsehole so I need to genocide like 50 more
I think the problem with MeToo was that it took a series of behaviors powerful men were getting away with because of their wealth, celebrity, and clout and made it solely an issue of gender- treated it as just a privilege that all men everywhere had.
The absolute darkest truth about how society views men is that we do not actually value male life; we only value what a man is willing to destroy himself to provide. Think about the male archetypes we actually celebrate. The soldier who doesn't come home. The father who works three grueling jobs until his heart gives out. The athlete who permanently destroys his brain and body for our entertainment. We only applaud masculinity when it is actively bleeding for the benefit of someone else. The exact moment a man decides he wants to step off the treadmill—to prioritize his own peace, his mental health, or his physical safety over his utility to the world—he is instantly branded as lazy, weak, or unambitious. We don’t want men to be whole, healthy, or at peace. We want them to be highly functioning shock absorbers. We demand they build the houses, fight the wars, and fund the lifestyles, and our only reward for this lifelong, crushing expectation is a quiet funeral when the stress finally kills them
