She's a cloud of sentient blood mist given form through her telepathic suggestions received by her viewers. Perception, begets reality and lo! You only see what she wants you to see. Well, what she expresses herself as. That's how it goes, after all... Will show a picture tomorrow ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/984 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: plagues-zombies-layoffs │ │ ║ └─────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ the reason they warn you about zombie viruses is it's a plague that's confined │ ║ to a specific location. they can say "oh it's moving, oh no now it's over your │ ║ town, sorry about that" and then everyone whos been evacuated suddenly loses │ ║ their homes. │ ║ │ ║ error also war and devastation, but there's more sinister reasons for that than │ ║ renovating. │ ║ │ ║ economic plagues are known as layoffs, and "bad economies" and such. their │ ║ culture is enforced through their rules for how you get things done like "do │ ║ what you're told" and "don't go in that room" and "stop talking to people on │ ║ other teams" and "you're wasting time" and "this isn't good enough (unless it's │ ║ literally not)" that kind of thing │ ║ │ ║ see you at 8am or worse, clock out by 6:30 │ ║ │ ║ at least if everyone starts at the same time in the morning they can eat lunch │ ║ together and work together when they're at similar parts of their days work. │ ║ but when they're done, why keep them around? it's much safer to bet your │ ║ economic simulation on predictable bhavyr │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/210 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── Also crossbows, though she prefers to fight with bow and arrow.

So am i. I believe in goodness, and so does she (even though she can be a bit evil about it) (without trying, I might add, it just comes naturally to her) (she's better now though) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/213 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── Maybe I'm just woefully arcane? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/985 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: cursed-scary-pol-doomer-misinformation │ │ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ @user-713 @user-714 │ ║ │ ║ the american military is going to be too busy fighting it's far right that it │ ║ won't be able to meaningfully contribute to ww3 │ ║ │ ║ both sides are slavers. we just don't see it. │ ║ │ ║ I don't anticipate war taking place on a battlefield, that setting is │ ║ forevermore dedicated to video games and kaiju. │ ║ │ ║ rather, a silent war where everyone just goes around killing their opposition. │ ║ │ ║ for once, the citizens can't help but be armed. │ ║ │ ║ and in the dark of night, for every time we let plight from our sight, another │ ║ of us is harmed. │ ║ │ ║ I don't know many people who've died. but maybe they're just working through a │ ║ different part of the social network.
