  • I don’t keep up with warlock seniority in New York and I don’t know who Magnus Bane is, but I read in another comment that John Ramirez is now a former warlock who says he died, went to hell, repented, and was sent back to life to preach against Satan. I’m not ready to take the guy’s word about all that, but it’s clear he no longer is taking up the top warlock spot, assuming he ever did, so there’s currently no conflict with Mr. Bane holding that title.



  • Yeah, the American West has a huge variety of very distinct biomes. For the purpose of telling a story though, one rocky desert or forested mountain vale or whatever is as good as another, leaving us, the audience, largely unaware and misled. We mostly only notice when they do that to areas we’re familiar with.

    Reminds me of the movie The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. There’s a scene where he is at his home in what is clearly the upcountry of South Carolina not too far from the Appalachians and he takes a walk down his garden path to visit his wife’s grave, which is located in the South Carolina lowcountry, by the coast, somehow skipping past over a hundred miles of pine forest that would have been between those areas. If you’re not familiar with those areas, they both just look like areas in the American Southeast, but if you are familiar, it’s very jarring.

    He’s not upset that he’s being labeled as cisgender, he’s upset that the labels cisgender and transgender exist in the first place. He actually knows what the word means, that it’s not an insult, and that it accurately describes him. He’s acting insulted specifically to spread the idea that the word cisgender is an insult. He’s doing this to push back against our society normalizing the concepts of transgender and cisgender. If he was only upset about himself being called that, I would agree with you that we should just accept his odd preference and move one, but he’s actively working against anyone being called cisgender or transgender. That’s the problem and that’s why people are not being tolerant of his label preferences.


  • Like the could drag his dumpy fat ass off the stage before he’s ready to move while keeping him covered. They did the best they could with a man so driven by theatrics and ego.

    If this was a false flag I doubt the secret service agents would be in on it anyway. Now, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to fake an assassination attempt, but I would be surprised if he pulled one off without any blatant mistakes or leaks. I guess we’ll see, but there isn’t enough public information yet to jump to any conclusions. There are plenty of people with plenty of reasons to want the man dead after all.

    It’s not meant to be a stereotype applied to all men, just the a thing that some men do. It happens when a man assumes, perhaps subconsciously, that the woman he is speaking to is his intellectual inferior and would surely benefit from his opinion on whatever topic without any regard to her possible expertise on the topic, or even his own lack thereof. I’ve rarely witnessed it myself, but know women who have had to put up with it. Stereotypeing all men as “manslainers” would be rude, but mocking the men who actually behave that way is cool with me.
