OMG lol, I haven't laughed out loud from a comment in a while. Jesus Christ, that's hilarious.

First off, that scene isn't so they don't recognize their faces. It's to look like spirits and scare/shock them. They were a small army trying to use crazy tactics, I don't see what's so wrong about that. I've read it multiple times and I don't remember a point where they go topless implying no one would ever look at their face if they were topless.

As for the author, I don't know much about him, but I like the books. And way I think Michael Jackson is a bad person but I can still enjoy his music.

Love the series, read it multiple times. It seems to get a lot of hate but I don't get why. I like the story, hate the villains, and can get invested in the characters. Plus it's very adult. My favorites series hands down.

And you could have just responded with the info and not the snide comment, it would have taken less effort, but here we are.

If you say so. I suppose it's easier to complain about other countries than to look within. I mean the housing crisis, the health care system stain, issues with indigenous rights, outdated public transportation, BC and its whole opioid epidemic. But I guess those aren't problems the government could do anything about at all...

You don't see anything Canada is doing wrong? Oh I didn't know that was an option, yeah the US is doing fine too then haha.

I couldn't understand what you were saying, you didn't use nearly enough lingo, so I translated it.

"Ah, the almighty power of lingo—like the Swiss Army knife of social circles. Once you're hip to the jargon game, it's like spotting Easter eggs in every convo. At work, lingo's the secret sauce for pushing complex ideas through the pipeline fast. But hey, here’s the kicker: it’s like having a VIP pass—you're either in the club or left standing outside.

Now, here's where it gets spicy. Some folks take that lingo and flip the script—they don’t just use it, they manufacture it like a startup cranking out MVPs. Back in the day, this was mostly culty vibes, fringe-y circles looking to get the 'us vs. them' mojo going. But then boom—the suits came in, turned it into a science, and voilà, welcome to Corporate Speak 2.0.

MBA-types are the real MVPs here. Knowing the latest buzzwords is like holding the golden ticket. If you're still rocking last quarter’s vocab, well, tough luck—you’re getting a one-way ticket to Outsider-ville. Gotta keep your buzzword game on point, always watching the trends, or else risk going full 'legacy system.' Meanwhile, casuals who just want to dip a toe in? They're hitting the eject button as soon as they hear 'synergize' for the tenth time.

But hey, it’s not just the corporate world—we've got weaponized lingo all over the place now. Find a group that keeps updating their lingo like it's firmware? Yeah, you might wanna run a virus scan on that one."

“it’s not my fault my country killed a half million civilians, I can’t do anything about it.” -You

And what exactly can I do to stop it aside from vote? You act like you have all the answers so please tell me what the average low income American can do to stop a war half way across the world. I'll wait for the how to guide.

“I demand my government force another country to stop killing civilians immediately” -Also you

Never said I demand anything, I said I vote. You seem to make it a habit of putting words in peoples mouths to fit your agenda. You own a farm? Because you're building straw men like crazy lol.

Why the fuck would I support American political candidates as a non-American? Just because plenty of people are stupid, doesn’t mean I need to be as well. Plenty of people think that most Palestinian civilians are innocent, but it doesn’t make it true.

I dunno, it is a very odd thing for you to do. It's also very odd to tell citizens of another country how to behave and interact with their government. What country praytell are you living in? Are you personally making an effort to stop every bad thing their doing or do you just embrace your hypocrisy full force? Oh no, I bet you're a "wait till people start dying to care" kinda guy.

"You support the American government"

What a brain dead thing to say. Yeah, we do, because we live here and have to pay taxes. We only have so many things we can do as normal citizens, only so many people we can vote for. Seeing you say all these bad faith statements constantly makes you look like a troll.

Also, you don't have to live in America to support JD Vance. Plenty of non Americans support Harris or Trump, wtf are you on about?

Yeah but 40k Fantasy is it's own thing and doesn't have sweet Space Marines, unless you acknowledge the Timescape. And cool kids don't do that. You wanna be cool right?

It's so silly when people act like the US has zero culture.
