PermanentFace: Huh! Now this is interesting. Sleeps-Darkly is Katia's argonian alter ego, right? The scene intrigues me without immediately causing me to reject it as nonsense. What in Vaermina's name is going on here, I wonder.
PermanentFace: @somethingsomething: The obesity epidemic does not invalidate the fact that many people in the united states go without food, water, and shelter, nor does it contradict the growing disparity in wealth that has emerged as a consequence of 'legal' capitalist practice.
PermanentFace: @somethingsomething: Some poor people still have food and water, but only because of state intervention on their behalf. Unregulated capitalism has seen people starve, and even now the system makes use of foreign slave labor and outrageous conditions. It is a flawed system, even if it's less immediately destructive than the fascism we've seen in communist states.
You don't need to support communism to recognize the problems with capitalism.
PermanentFace: Capitalism incentivizes disregard for 'moral' considerations of any kind, pursuing profit above lives and livelihoods. Malice may be absent from the equation, but capitalism is the cause of many terrible things, simply because it is cheaper to run damage control for every crisis than it is to do things in a safe, humanitarian way.
Communism incentivizes the consolidation of power, so that the human condition and the resources it requires may be efficiently orchestrated from a high vantage point. Consolidation of power in the hands of the few invariably leads to corruption. In the name of communism have been perpetrated more dramatically terrible crimes and travesties than capitalism has ever caused, but we cannot say merely because the Soviet Union was so astonishingly awful that capitalism is inherently good.
Also yes, Russia's gay rights need more support and I sense this image is making more of a cultural point than an organizational one.
PermanentFace: There's fur on there. If you own a cat or any kind of shedding animal, you'd know that finding fur in your mouth is an unpleasant experience.
PermanentFace: The only people more hostile than Rajirra that Katia has met are Gharug, who's a career criminal and murderer, and Sigrid, who has been under the influence for most of the time we've known her.
PermanentFace: @Dexterosaurus: Closing days of the Third Era, yes. The Era ended with the death of the Septim line, when Martin Septim sealed the dragonfires.
I know it can be hard to keep track of which khajiit is which, what with how they all look the same, but basically Rajirra's the nasty one. She's treated Katia like garbage since she first arrived in Kvatch and ultimately locked her in a room to die alone at the hands of a horrible monster.
PermanentFace: Not sure a servant of god-emperor Talos would bear the symbol of Oblivion upon his power armor. Maybe it represents his chosen foe? But I think the Red Diamond might be a more appropriate chapter icon.
PermanentFace: @lapma: It would seem that bluedraggy has performed a search-replace with certain words concerning Godwin's Law, thereby presenting an officious definition that refers to silly concepts, to comedic effect.
PermanentFace: I think it's kind of funny that recent events have revealed that, when she's not intoxicated on Telvanni Sociopath Potion, Sigrid is a more contrite and sincere person than Rajirra ever was, but people will keep romanticizing this cat girl.

Also I am contractually obliged to say "Blech, Rajirra."
