South Philadelphian, tech-skeptical tech worker, involuntary cider enthusiast, occasional woodworker. Descended from refugees. Never interested in zero-sum.

Incremental bipartisan careful institutionalism is burned into my soul, it is the Great Truth of Civilization, it is also a massive miserable obvious failure that has brought LITERAL NAZIS into power in my country. So clearly I was wrong, because priorities #1, #2, and #3 are "Defeat the Nazis."

“There is actually a level of corruption in FIFA that has consequences” is so wild and to see it arrive at this specific moment is beyond comprehension. This cannot be happening. And yet.

He’s not *not* a Christ figure. Plus he’s the Father (de facto dad) and his words and wisdom continue to accompany Peter in spirit. He’s a fucking trinity is what he is.

“I assaulted you and you have no right to resist. If you do, that itself is a justified cause for more assault.” My dude. You started a war.

So assuming they have human style aversion to getting eaten (vs “eh we reproduce fast enough, some predation is acceptable”) they might develop weaponry or other defenses where humans were satisfied with moats, walls, etc

Much harder for them to build walled cities/fortresses than humans because they’ll probably be able to literally catapult people over walls even a few times their height, and similarly a relatively small predator can bypass those barriers.
