As I said, breadbeing is clearly the way to go

The difference between cake(quick bread) and bread is the use of chemical leavening vs. biological leavening (yeast/bacteria). Cakes belong to the baked good subgroup of quick bread, which is itself a subgroup of bread. You could therefore shorten it to breadperson or breadbeing if you wanted to be truly inclusive.

They made Stewie watch. He probably tried to turn away, and they wouldn't let him. You call him a survivor? He's not. A man comes up against that kind of will, the only way to deal with it, I suspect, is to become it.

Or in comic strip form

Thanks, hopefully this trend catches on.

This is why I read the OWF on occasion. Never been proven so right about something soooo quickly.

Clearly you've been influenced by the Mens' Rights Movement and Rape Culture into believing it doesn't exist. I suggest you fire up your Internet wonder. The truth is out there. Oppression is everywhere. I too had my eyes clothed once.

I'm completely serious, at all times. Rape Culture must be abolished, as should misogyny.

you forgot your #notallmen hashtag.

So, Fark and NATO have been hanging out quite a bit lately, and with all the beer drinking, mountain dew consumption, and Cheeto munching, we bonded over our love of mid 90's trading card games. While about 6 beers deep, we in Fark realized that like all pop culture, these trading card games have a deep and troubled history of misogyny, sexism, and a clear gender bias. While some of us just didn't understand the problem with being "sexy", as a whole we decided this just can't stand. We've taken matters into our own hands, and we present you with our solution: For Fark: 905, Submitter Mr Vicarious, Squirrel Rollo, Speaker of the TF Council 182, TF Council Slick Johnson, TF Council CountryMouse, TF Council Decide R Inchief, TF Council For WAG: NCC (Blood God) AntiFa (CHIEF LEGBEARD)

Hey, I post about 60 times a year. That's more frequent than most CN cycles. That's like 3.25 posts per sled.

So I guess the charity bit isn't the important part then?

Congrats to allies and friends.

Congrats to our friends in NATO and NG. Great theme.

yep, this one has no expiration date, actual clauses, a song, and a flag. That's at least 4 levels of upgrade.

This really only applies if you make a full wonder set worth 100 K NS (~top 10%). If you make a full wonderset worth something more like 30 K NS, this fixes the issue and actually provides some balance. You effectively make it so that anyone will a full wonderset is always fighting in the +40k NS range, with the extra 30 K NS only adding +- 10 k NS to the declaration range. As for a new kind of griefing, if you have no infra and no tech, you're doing ~150 infra and land damage and 50 tech damage as long as you have nukes. You are exposed to horrible spy odds, you can't win a GA or AA, and the new CM wonder reduces your minimal cruise missile damage even more. If the goal is to reduce low tier exposure to nukes, give the wonders NS is one of the easiest to do and least likely to be an absolute game changer. 30 K NS isn't necessarily the right answer, but the point is that by scaling that number you can pick which tier those nations should sit in at ZI. You also have to remember that most nation over 80K NS right now will immediately get that same wonder boost. It's only young nations who will benefit from this.

The ability to extend the length of a war is the only weapon that the losing side of our standard CN curbstomp can use. If you artificially shorten wars through some sort of moderator system, then you remove the benefit from having a well run alliance with the ability to keep it's nations motivated. You remove the element of will power that has for so long defined how well an alliance will fare in war.

noted, we've tried engorgements, we'll have to add it to the list.

I have no comment on the merit or foundational history of this alliance, but I am deeply upset that you came so close to giving us an AA with the SPCA acronym and yet all is lost. All you had to do was throw a Communist, Community, Conversational, or any of the other multitude of appropriate C words in there. We could have been graced with AA announcements full of cute kittens and puppies needing adoption, and/or Sarah Mclachlan songs.

Congrats to our allies in IRON, I know how much went into this. Good luck going forward.

Which one?

When you quote Tywin in your replies, it prevents the rest of us from enjoying the full benefits of the ignore user feature.

Do you have a syllabus?

Where do I sign up?
