Doesn’t matter where they’re from, or what language they speak, or even particularly what the laws are in your country: The far right are criminals, every single fucking one of them.

I have not read Fairy Tale, but I have read The Talisman which someone else recommended you and I will second that recommendation! I hope you enjoy whichever books you end up picking up 😊

Like the custom endocrine systems of combat sleeves in Richard Morgan’s Altered Carbon edit: I think I was thinking of Iain M Banks’ “Culture” series actually, but both are worth a read! Need to be strong or fast? Just give yourself a little squirt of adrenaline! Time for slow heart rate and low energy use? Slow-release a skoche of acetylcholine.

You make a good point about subscriptions. The repo when you stop paying would be pretty grim.

The Dark Tower series is pretty good for the first three or four books, the rest I couldn’t vouch for. I find a lot of his stories hit the same beats to the point that they feel formulaic, but his best-known works - the ones you’ve heard of over and over again - are all worth a read.

Also, if you’re looking for really long, really dense, really dark fantasy in a thoroughly rounded and meticulously crafted world, check out Steven Erikson’s Malazan saga. King does horror, Erikson does horripilation.

Hey hey, you’re an honorary American now! Your flag and genocide kit are in the mail (don’t worry, we’re pretty sure we got the right address from that darkweb database).

But for real there’s not much you can do but keep an eye on it. If Europe has similar credit agencies to the ones in the US, then freeze your credit and keep it frozen until you need to apply for more (new card, car, house, etc).

Use a password manager so if an account gets compromised they can’t get into anything else.

And, as advised, watch for unusual activity (but forever, not just a few months, that’s just a false sense of security).

This should keep you largely safe. My data has been leaked in dozens of breaches, but I do the above, and while I’ve had two instances of card fraud, I don’t see hard enquiries into my credit that I didn’t make even after 6+ years.

My Gul isn’t very friendly at all, he keeps trying to genocide pastoral societies, is he broken?

You’d do well to remember that words can have multiple meanings and connotations, or you’re gonna have a bad time with English.

Of course, if you could provide some kind of evidence that “attack” was at any point ever used to mean only physical violence and nothing else… you’d still not have a point because languages change over time and “attack” could legitimately gain new meanings that it did not used to have.

But that’s not relevant because you won’t be able to provide that evidence, because “attack” has never been used only for physical violence and physical violence alone.

the most important factor in having a mouth that feels clean is clearing the spaces between the teeth

This. Sadly the spaces between my teeth are way too tight for even the finest of interdental brushes, but floss works a treat for me.

Meanwhile the cat will kick the thuckerin’ thuccotash outta anyone who looks at him cockeyed.

That’s pretty sad. I thought you guys were better off than America, but it sounds like you’ve got it just as bad as we do. Sorry bud ._.

So… you want to argue the existence of distinct societies and cultures, now? I’d say come back when you have anything of substance to add, but if you were capable you would have already, so I’m just going to block you instead.

For real. I will never understand it, myself. I can’t imagine anyone is going to change their vote because he slithered in here and rasped “Haaaaarriiiiiiiissssssss”. He didn’t do anything that required a spine, he’s still a despicable old bastard.

Oh yeah? Go ahead and elucidate how violence against a colonised people isn’t exactly the same as violence against the outgroup of an established society. The point of both is subjugation and control. Twit.

He’s not going to turn Senegal into a liberal paradise; his party and policies sound to be more of the same homophobia. But it seems like he will actually try to end the corruption and put the country on the track to independence rather than looting it like Sall. Secularity is a cornerstone of the party, which is an important first step. Here’s hoping Senegal is on its way up!

People seemed to forget what a ghoul Mitt Romney is too, the instant he denounced Trump that one time. It’s weird, right? And, just because it’s always relevant: Dick Cheney can fuck all the way off.

Do you think it could be because there was some semblance of following the rules when those fuckers were being awful (even if those were rules they changed so recently the ink was still wet, ahem definitionoftorture ahemhem), compared to the outright lawlessness of this lot?

Fascism is against your own people, colonialism is against other peoples. It’s got nothing to do with skin colour, it just so happens that a lot of colonialism we learn about nowadays was done by western nations like the UK and US. Or would you argue Saddam Hussein wasn’t a fascist? How about Plínio Salgado?
