I get why it’s done from a narrative point of view, but some obnoxious pedantic voice in my head never stops wondering why people would write down obscure lore notes in the middle of a disaster or when they’re about to die. It makes sense for some organisation’s agents to document their discoveries and leave (incremental) reports on-site in case they don’t make it back for a full report, but some random raider in FO4 noting down how pissed he is with his boss?
Of course, I’m a sucker for lore, so I’ll take it, particularly when it’s in audio log form during exploration sections so I can keep exploring and listen instead of stopping to read.
Friedliche Proteste sind wichtig und richtig, aber sie sind nur ein Bellen. Wenn es keine Konsequenzen für mich hat, kann ich sie ignorieren, vielleicht sogar unterdrücken.
Was ihnen Macht und Legitimität verleiht ist die Angst vor dem Biss. Wenn ich befürchten muss, dass es zu Gewalt kommt, wird das ganze eine Risiko-Rechnung die ich nicht mehr ignorieren darf.
Die Gewalt ist unschön, aber bisher leben wir eben in einer Welt, wo guter Wille alleine nicht reicht. Die Massenproteste verunsichern genau deshalb, weil man Angst hat, dass sie eskalieren könnten.
Intersex is a biological rarity wherein a person exhibits sexual characteristics of both sexes. They’re neither strictly biologically male nor strictly female. Hence, if they’re supposed to use the bathroom matching their sex, they’ll need a separate bathroom.
(There’s a lot of complexity and unpleasantness I’m omitting for brevity, but the point is that they don’t fit into simple binary assumptions like the one underlying the headline)
Headcanon: He definitely was brave enough and engaged in it too, by necessity of Jedi being called on for mediation and diplomacy as well as the need of a general to coordinate with the civil leadership of planets he’s fighting on or for.
Downplaying his interest in politics would be both a sign of humility (“I don’t need to rub elbows with important people, I’,m just a humble guy”) and sensible politics in itself by signalling that he’s not out for power plays, just doing his duty.
That also kinda tracks with Marcus Aurelius, who allegedly didn’t like being named Emperor by the senate as he preferred philosophy over power. He did accept the office out of a sense of duty, on the condition that his adoptive brother be made Co-Emperor.
The parallel I’m getting at here is that both might not have been passionate politicians, but will have competently and dutifully risen to the task when called on. They were also both militarily successful in the later years of their respective careers as Emperor and as Jedi Master.
Hence: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus an Obi-Wan Kenobi are the same person. QED
You have a point. It was a joke to redirect the bull metaphor to a different animal, force of habit.
On the other hand, the term “pig” for Cops has become rather detached from the animal, just like Motherfucker doesn’t actually imply incestuous sexual relations.
But you have a point all the same.
Gut, aus Österreich ist die nur de jure. Der Großteil des Konzerns besteht aus der ursprünglichen deutschen Straßenbau AG und anderen deutschen Unternehmen, die nach und nach aufgekauft wurden. Ansonsten hat die aber auch weltweit mittlerweile einiges. Da weiß ich nicht, ob bei einem derartigen internationalen Konzern der formelle Hauptsitz wirklich eine Rolle spiele sollte.
Lächerlich ist das natürlich schon. Klar wollen die an Geld, aber wenn das ein europäischer Streit ist sollte der auch in Europa geregelt werden.
