    International Women's Day

    Today is International Women's Day. Gender threads are a banned topic because they don't go well, so please keep things simple and just say something good about the women in your life.

    For my part, I'd like to say thanks to my (quasi-adoptive) daughters. I'm proud of each of them. For 2.1 (Pink), it has been a strange journey, but I appreciate the cheer and energy she brings to my life.

    The day may not have started on your side of the planet, and it may be one that doesn't get much local recognition. No matter, try to take a moment and say something positive.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    I saw this topic and immediately thought about the scene from Deadpool.

    "It's a banned topic, but here's a thread about it anyway, so please drink the kool-aid and agree with me, k?"

    I don't even know where to start with this one.

    Exactly!

    Can we have one too in the interests of equality?
    Everyone kept saying MoP was shit, but it started at 10M subs. It's big loss was by months 4-6 into MoP, the total loss across those 6 months was only 1.7M compared to WoD losing 2.9M in HALF THE FUCKING TIME. 3 months passed and WoD loses 2.9M players. This is not due to "MMOs dying", but because Warlords of Draenor is a garbage expansion. Cata also lost 2.9M subs across the entire expansion. MoP lost 3.2M across the entire expansion. WoD lost 4.6 Million 7 months after it launched!

    Empress Theodora is still a personal hero of mine. <3



    All hail the most magnificent and magnanimous Empress Theodora, beloved of Rome! From the lowly ranks of actress and courtesan you became the most powerful woman in the Roman Empire, consort to Justinian I. Starting in the late 520's AD, you joined your husband in a series of important spiritual and legal reforms, creating many laws which elevated the status of and promoted equal treatment of women in the empire. You also aided in the restoration and construction of many aqueducts, bridges and churches across Constantinople, culminating in the creation of the Hagia Sophia, one of the most splendid architectural wonders of the world. Great was your life, greater was your legacy.

    Possibly one of the greatest women of the period or that thousand year stretch and the best woman to ever inhabit the Roman Empire.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

    I refuse to congratulate a woman for being just a woman. I never got any compliment for being a man (which would be ridiculous btw), so, why should i treat women as special human beings on this day ?

    Why am I not surprised?
    And just why nobody should look to Huffington post for anything
