Nukes Aren't Dark Age Tech, Anyone With A Decent Enough Understanding Of Physics And Uranium (or Plutonium)

So... appearantly when Bile falls asleep, he dreams of his fucking surgery thingy deattaching itself from him and conducting its own experiments. This is a genuine canon thing.

(I swear this man is only 50% mad scientist, the rest is just him being a silly tired gandpa)

my mum was googling for an article about why everyone in the lord of the rings film is white (like to be clear she was annoyed by this) and the google ai was apparently like “everybody in the lord of the rings is not white. gandalf is grey.”

Thinking about it, their argument and attitude are even more comparable to anti-woke grifters than I originally thought. They're both based in a premise that canon doesn't change, and they're both insisting that their interpretation of the lore which ignores what canon has explicitly stated is canon-compliant because of it.

I've got no problem with people ignoring lore that they think is dumb. I did that with female Custodes before they got added in. I do have a problem with people doing it and claiming that it's a valid interpretation of the lore.

The funny thing is they've basically got the opposite stance on FSM. One says they can't exist ever, because lore, one says they do exist and always have, because lore.

I spent a lot of time handcuffed and in a cage in high school, for a charity bit the grocery store I worked at would do

the bit was that I was "put in jail for having too big a heart" and customers could donate to my bail to get me out (and the money would go to a children's hospital or something)

now. I was very clearly a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a large cage. and I would honestly tell people that I had been in there for hours. and people would say, that's terrible! that's awful! and I would show them my wrists red from the tight handcuffs, and say but I'm sooooooo close to making bail.

and then they would dump some cash in the basket, I'd thank them, and they'd walk away.

and every so often, one of the managers would come by and collect some of the cash, so I could keep being soooooo close to making bail.

I was very good with this bit. Parents with small kids would pay $5-10 if I told their children I had been placed in jail for not cleaning my room/doing my homework, etc. For people in their 20s, I'd threaten that I was very bad at playing the harmonica, but I WOULD play it and we'd all suffer unless they paid me. and for the most amount of money, older men in suits would almost always pay $20s if I avoided eye contact and stammered a lot.

eventually, the managers started to feel bad because I was in the cage so fucking long and often, that I'd need someone to brace me when I got out because I'd have no feeling in my legs. wobbling like a newborn giraffe.

but I would also rake in at LEAST $100 an hour in charity.

so they were like, hey champ. can we, uh, give you a pillow to sit on. in the cage. would you like a pillow so you're not just sitting on a cold metal slab. can we give you a pillow.

and I had to explain to them that if they gave me a pillow, people would think I was more comfortable, so they wouldn't feel as bad, so I'd bring in less money.

the compromise was that they'd bring me a nice coffee every couple hours, which I would have to try to block with my body from the customers.

all this money went to charity. that's what the money was for. it's what was on the sign. but how much they were willing to pay was very contingent on how comfortable I looked, never mind the fact that I was still a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a cage.

and out of the dozens of shifts I did this on, not ONCE did ANYONE say, hey kid I'm going to go talk to your manager because what the fuck is going on here. they would just drop money in the basket, and I'd thank them and sip from my secret drink.

I actually had people get MAD at me that I told them I was far away from bail, they donated like $15, and then 20 minutes I got let out because my shift ended.

again. the money was for charity. it was on the sign that was very clearly placed on the upper half of my cage.

so yeah. even when people think they mean well. people can be really, really fucking stupid.

Life is unfair. That's why we should be.

me impatiently to the little french cat boiling me in a stew: chat am I cooked

That model is still less gay than the original Dark Angels.

Get fucked, loser.

Broke: female Custodes are Tzeentchian infiltrators

Woke: female Custodes are not Tzeentchian infiltrators

Bespoke: the idea that female Custodes are Tzeentchian infiltrators is being spread as part of Tzeentch's latest scheme to spread discord and Chaos in the Imperium, to make people doubt the Emperor's most loyal and capable servants

And?

The point is never "It would be a better story if this happened". Nobody is saying "The Horus Heresy would be a better story if Fulgrim didn't fall to Chaos".

‘if only fulgrim didn’t pick up the sword he could have’ could have what. could have what. stayed under the oversight of a distant father figure? kept pressuring himself and his sons to be perfect and flawless all the time? been disposed of when he’d served his purpose? i hate you

What do you take him for? Some kind of scientist?

I like to imagine Cawl making AI copies of Pre-Heresy Fulgrim and Ferrus (something along the vibe of Bile making Clonegrim and Cawl making AI Roboute) but he hides them inside a computer or something so no one can find it, and these two living AI copies are kinda just chilling in a made up world together, thinking this is reality and that they're in a time of peace post-crusade and forging weapons every day to pass the time.

Can you imagine something like San Junipero from Black Mirror? Where these two are still close and happy together, living in a fake world inside a computer/simulation (╥ᆺ╥;)
