i guess we can add "reading comprehension" to your list of special talents

• fallout 3
• call of duty
• witcher 3
• wolfenstein: the new order (before the series got all political with the new colossus)

i can keep going

you just threw out a strawman, got told to stay on topic, then accused the other person of strawmanning your argument because they stayed on topic rather than responding to your strawman

what message is the show pushing

having black people in a tv show isn't "prioritizing pushing a message", you absolute loon

this was well before resident evil 8's release, when one could still only whisper about their undying wish to be choked by their big scary goth gf

it's not his FAULT your honor he couldn't HELP but form a love bond with an unborn vampire baby your honor you'd understand if you were a werewolf your honor

The werewolf "imprints" on Bella's unborn vampire baby later in the series, so fortunately the scales of creepiness end up balanced between Team Edward and Team Jacob.

In 2015, Stephanie Meyer—the author of Twilight—wrote Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, which is pretty much the same book and the same plot line save for every character* being gender-swapped. For example, Edward Cullen becomes Edythe Cullen, and Bella Swan becomes Beaufort Swan.

Given how openly and incessantly horny people are about 7ft-tall-uwu-step-on-me-please dommy mommy gfs at the moment, there's clearly a not insignificant segment of the male population for which Life and Death could be enjoyed in much the same way Twilight was by that segment's female mirror back in 2005.

* The protagonist's parents are the only exception to this, which according to Meyer is due to how rare male parent custody is after a divorce in the US, especially when the book is set.

I read that whole thing waiting for the assuredly sweet action sequence they were hyping up all the way through the book until the end. All that talking about how the vampires use their powers to fight, like how Edythe can read her opponent's mind and react accordingly, or how Archie can predict fragments of the future and use those to his advantage, or about Jessamine's mysterious military training. Then the entire action sequence happens off screen and Beau just wakes up after it's all resolved.

Also, can we talk about how continuously Eleanor gets shat on in the book? She's introduced as the strongest Cullen, only for each subsequent Cullen family member's introduction to explain why Eleanor actually sucks and is useless. She doesn't even get to be the tallest vampire, despite how much hay is made about her intimidating stature. Look Steph: just include some plot point that involves her hucking a truck at someone at some point during the book and we're good.

But honestly having read it yes I now fully understand why Twilight was as popular as it was (is a popular as it is?).

I know that asking you to Google things is maybe a lot, but isn't the answer pretty obvious if you think about it for more than five seconds?

Roads are made out of what would otherwise be a waste product from refining oil, mixed with dirt. If you just leave it alone, it will basically just sit there.

Rails are made out of steel, which is both expensive and rusts. Tolerances have to be tight. And if you fuck about with maintenance in rail, you get a train derailment.

Rail maintenance is more expensive than road maintenance
