orcoftheday:

today in red dead redemption 2 i wanted to see if, like in the first game, you could get an achievement for having someone be run over by a train.

so, i hogtied someone and looked for a train, and found one that was stopped. thinking quickly, i dropped the guy on the tracks and boarded the train, forcing the conductor out and starting to rush towards the man i hogtied just as he untied himself, barely managing to get out of the way in time.

i put the brakes on the train, beginning to pursue him before the guards aboard the train opened fire. after a brief firefight, i hogtied one of them and threw him on my horse, galloping off.

after much traveling, i arrived at a swamp in an area i was bounty-free in. deciding that the train would wait for another day, i dumped the man’s body in the water and let him drown, about to go away.

cue alligator

just a random alligator that jumps out of the water, grabs the corpse and scares the shit out of me so bad i shoot it. it runs off, corpse still clutched in its mouth, and i pursue it because holy shit it’s running toward a fucking town. 

unfortunately, alligators are sturdy, and i am inaccurate. so the son of a bitch makes it towards the town, and everyone gets to see a sight: Cowboy McFuckface, bandana on, covered in blood and mud, pursuing an alligator with a bruised, bloody, soaked corpse in its mouth

i have a bounty in that town now

don’t vote for the best candidate.

vote for the one most likely to remove a republican.

it’s that simple.

Vote them out.

Vote for the candidate that sees every person as a human being.

not if they can’t win, buddy. i’m serious. LISTEN. VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS. EVEN IF THAT MEANS VOTING IN SOME REGULAR ASSHOLES.

if the candidate who sees every person as a human being is green party, then you vote for the democrat who sees every person as a stepping stone, because unless we get rid of the republican who sees every person as a target a lot of us are going to goddamn die. people are dying already. like, not to guilt you, but if we don’t get a democratic majority in the house and senate ASAP we’re screwed.

it doesn’t fucking matter if you voted for Jesus Actual Christ if he was running on a penny ante party ticket. we need you to vote for Joe Slick Bastard Democrat instead, because there is no such thing as a green party majority in the senate, do you understand? there will not be a green party speaker of the house. green party will not get to put up supreme court nominees.

if you vote for the Good People instead of the democrats, we’re gonna end up back in this toilet bowl again, only deeper this time because the republicans will take it as a mandate to do whatever they want.

take a deep breath, put on rubber gloves, and touch the poop. don’t be precious.

OK, I actually meant the Dems were more likely to see us all as human beings, but you are correct in that the candidate you pick needs to be able to win. So let me revise what I said: In this country, right now, right here, we do not have third party candidates who can win. We are in this mess right now because of two things: People who didn’t vote in 2016, and people who voted for a third party, far-distant, not-a-snowball’s-chance-in-hell of winning. We can’t afford that kind of apathy or that kind of selfish self-righteousness. You do not have to personally like the Dem you vote for. This is not a popularity contest. We need people who will fix the mess we are in, whether you personally like them or not.

If you want to “send a message”, do it by voting for the person who is NOT a Republican but IS on the Democrat ticket. And I don’t care if the Repubs in your area seem like decent people because they did something for a local kids’ charity or you met them and they seemed nice. Republicans are keeping Trump in office. They are all complicit in Trump and his minions shitting on our Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. VOTE. THEM. OUT.

Apollo: Sister, what are you the goddess of?

Artemis: *lounging by a spring on piles of deerskin surrounded by three dozen naked girls with a dead pan expression* Virginity.

“Heracles, they’re lesbians”.

Note that the concept of “virginity” in Ancient times merely meant “unmarried”, and had nothing to do with sexual activity. Some priestesses were “virgins” because they chose (or were committed to) a life of worship, but it was merely a question of social status, not of personal choice or practice. Of course, one can suppose that this lifestyle would be rather attractive for lesbians.

So when Artemis is said to be the Goddess of Virgins, it is meant to be understood as “Goddess of Unmarried Women”, or, quite possibly literally, of lesbians. 

(It’s only Christianity that reframed the concept of virginity to mean “never had sex”. Many ancient religions has “Virgin goddesses”, which symbolized feminine power, and in this case too it meant “untied to a man”, or “whole for herself”)

i used to read stories where nazis summoned demons and think it was a little cheap. everyone thinks they’re the good guy, right? even nazis wouldn’t go mwahaha look at my beautiful evil, right?

now that i’ve seen them in action, i know i was wrong. they would not only summon demons, they would parade them through the halls of power and sneer and laugh about how we can’t do anything to stop them. i know this because aside from the supernatural element, that’s what they’re pretty much doing right now.
