Elvis was a bigger insult

It’s one of those terms people are so rabidly eager to use that any excuse will do. Look at what happened to ‘reboot’.

That’s not ‘gaslighting’?

William Tell is a Swiss folk hero. El Cid was a real person in Spain but has become a legendary character, as has Rob Roy McGregor. There’s also Beowulf from earlier times. Welsh mythology is pretty cool I’d check that out for some knightly stuff, like The Gododin.

Americans with their ‘greatest nation on earth’ charade.

Someone whose first name isn’t interesting enough to be the title, I’m fucking sick of it.

Does it affect the kids?

Iso- meaning equal chron- meaning time; makes sense. I love it when I can work out the etymology, gives me the old clever-cloggs high

Yeah? Seems legitimately insane to me.

Maybe Liverpool, but that’s really just a joke; it’s actually a nice city centre with decent folk. More broadly, probably East Anglia, but that’s really more our Appalacia.

It wasn’t an adaptation of The Gunslinger

Yes, but it would require government spending and in the UK we currently have theives and billionnaires in charge who don’t even think kids should be able to eat at school.

Smear Surstromming around everywhere

Prydain is pretty good fare (you might remember The Black Cauldron), it’s a strange mix of young adult and epic at the same time. Your protagonist doesn’t start out as 18, it’s a bit of a bildugnsroman, but he ends up thereabouts.

Hoisted with his own petard, that’s nice.

Watch it gain traction now peoples’ holidays are under threat!

I swear, it’s exasperating; tell people their kids will die young? Silence. Tell them they can’t go to Kos and take fucking cocktail pictures for socmed and it’s front page news.

Tell that to Thomas Midgley Jr.

That doesn’t mean you’re not obliged to take any steps, unfortunately. We’ve all been given a shit sandwich and it’s not fair, but that behoves us to spit it out in disgust.

Ah, the crux.

What do you mean by alignment?
