"I want my country back"
Alright then saes, Germany's that way, get in the ocean.
Lots of internalised transphobia years ago when I was in my teens in my teens, also I briefly fell down an earlier version of the current internet TERF rabbit hole. Needless to say if there wasn't such an intensely transphobic cultural milieu within the UK I maybe woulda made less harmful choices in life (especially for myself).
Nearly one year on HRT now, and a much more balanced person for it.
"Piers, you woke moralist, stop drinking your tea and come help me! The chaos dragons have pulled my tie too tight, Piers! I'm choking to death!"
Borderlands 3, much to my shame.
Why did I do this? I vaguely recall liking the previous games when I was a child. Do not follow the swamp lights of nostalgia my friends, it will drown you.
Its humour is cringe and Reddit brained to an uncomfortable degree, but I'm actually kinda liking the gameplay.
I've already played through with a gunner, and now I'm trying a melee siren build. Don't know If I'll have the patience to try out the other classes, though. The game's starting to wear thin already, and the writing certainly isn't keeping me invested.
Finally an explanation to why Hornet keeps yelling "Shah!" during her boss fights.
Tfm deciding to finally Google Stepan Bandera to find out what all the arguing was about, it seems.
The whole thing with the telescreens being secret cameras monitored by humans 24/7 could be reframed as Winston's paranoia. Same with every child being a communist spy.
How I'd adapt it is, I'd keep it the same except change it so that at the end, he escapes Oceania and defects to one of the other nations. Give the reveal that his account has been some sorta 
style propaganda piece.
I want to just point out how far America has fallen. I'm American and I'm embarrassed. Back in the day, the CIA, I read, were the first people to finance a version of Animal Farm, and now you think about our government, and they wouldn't in a million years want people thinking like this. It's crazy.
It's got the lowest health of any vehicle in brigador, but the rate at which its boost recharges makes it really good at hitting a target and running.
but i'm still trying to figure out my bread and butter money maker to save up for the Precursor James pilot.
There's one mission (KNIFE CHASE) that comprises of a small area with some tough but short ranged hover tanks and the single objective of destroying a comm tower, a fast moving vehicle with a mortar of some sort can clear it pretty quickly. You get a decent payout from it.
Love this game. Really satisfying picking a mech from the smallest size class and running under the legs of the big mechs to deliver a well timed donkey shot.
Also Varlet is best tank.
How would you even pierce the skin like that with a micropipette?
I'm not informed enough about any of these countries to have a stance on them (other than good on them for kicking out imperialists) but this all reads like, 
.
Little green men, greys, spacemen, the reptilians that sneak inside at night to piss your bed. Whatever you call them, for a long time now people have been captivated with tales of travelers from other worlds. Reports of extraterrestrial life exists varying from the unconvincing to the slightly less unconvincing.
With such questions of otherworldly beings plaguing the minds of people for so long, it seems it the mantle has fallen to me once more to smart brain my way through this and solve aliens once and for all.
To this end I have read through a staggering two reported alien sightings, and from my studies have drawn a shocking conclusion. Hang close to me friends, we're in for a wild ride.
Case 1 - The Flatwoods Monster
In 1952 in the town of Flatwoods, West Virginia, USA, Earth, three boys said they saw some object streak down from the sky and crash into a field of a local farm. They told their mother, who accompanied them out this field alongside a member of the West Virginian National Guard. As the group crested a hill, they became aware of movement and a pulsing red light. Turning their torches into the woods they saw something that shocked them to their core.
A creature with a hood-like face, bright yellow eyes, and tiny, taloned hands. Now the obvious answer here is that they saw an owl perching on a tree (see below) and in their panicked minds filled in the blanks for them. Either way, they didn't hang around long enough to find out.
"Oh wise one," you cry, "Even one as intelligent as you cannot solve such a vast mystery on the back of one mere event."
You are correct, which is why ~~skimmed wikipedia~~ read exhaustively about a second sighting.
Case 2 - The Hopkinsville Goblin
In 1955, five adults from a farm just outside Hopkinsville, Kentucky, USA, Earth, arrived at a police station requesting help. They claimed they had spent almost four hours fending off a number of yellow eyed, 2ft tall, horned creatures that had been peaking through the windows of their farmhouse. Seventeen police officers arrived at the scene of the battle, but found only evidence of the gunshots the terrified farmers had let off.
The great horned owl, is about 2ft tall, and has head plumage that resembles a pair of horns. They are found all over the Americas, and can get pretty aggressive if disturbed.
"It was owls all along?" you, a fool, ask.
You are blind to something much more sinister afoot.
Owls are not being mistaken for extraterrestrials. Owls are extraterrestrials.
What better way to scout Earth and pry for our weaknesses than to take loftily to the sky and observe from above. Is not a bird's eye view essential for getting the lay of the land.
You worry that I am stretching too far, you worry that I am missing the obvious truth here. You doubt me.
Well I broke into the secretive Area 52 and I have found incontestable proof that I am right, and you are stinky.
I rest my case.
The question now, is what must be done. For all I know, there may be owls amongst us. The invasion may well have already begun. Perhaps by making you aware of this I have placed you all in danger.
Watch your back my friends, but also the sky.
TFW I'm not applauded as an ally by the transpeople I'm actively misgendering.
Look how sad he is!
Obligatory cum edit.
Can't find anything on what way they voted either.
It does seem really weird that Plaid MPs would abstain from this vote considering the party line on the genocide Israel's carrying out in Gaza.
