    I think STIs may have had passing references.

    That being said unless you are writing a fantasy series revolving around medical practices I don't think you're going to get more than passing references as it's not the focus of the book.

    Also if your army has denul healers, maybe they can easily take care of basic infections or common conditions like dysentery.


    I just keep thinking of D&D with "lay on hands" ... :lol:

    Yeah, and I'm reading that I may not qualify for unemployment because my boss is calling it "performance". My ass, he just is sick of my health problems.


    That's utterly fucked LB. Burn the place down on the way out. :p
    I hope you have had decent medical treatment and are feeling better with a good prognosis.

    Why do companies do this? It’s not like the money comes out of their pocket.


    Because poorly regulated capitalism, in the land of the fee and the home of the slave*.





    * yes I am aware slavery was/is practiced in many other countries, it just fits the motif.

    Ok, this took my mind off the shit in the world for a few minutes.

    Watch the video at the end. :)

    22 March 2024 - 08:52 PM

    OK thank you. Well, I can't recall it at all which i guess really does make it a great big nothingburger.

    I guess it proves the point - if the biggest thing about it was the initial lack of reaction and then later lack of recall then it really was underwhelming.
  5. In Topic: Ye Big Politics Thread

    22 March 2024 - 11:48 AM

    You're all quite correct, but I also note the utter lack of world reaction when Saudi Arabia etc actively contribute to killing tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Yemenis. Just as one example.
    I wonder what KSA has that Israel doesn't? Hmmm ...

    Please carefully note I am no fan of Israel and have no horse in this race. I just think it's all shit but find the disparity in coverage (and interest from western nations) rather telling.

    Then again there's all sorts of fucked up shit going on in various countries that we barely hear about except every blue moon. Eg Myanmar. Yes, I have the ability to go find out things for myself, but I'm not talking about that, I'm referring to the differences in ... profile (?) ... and promotion in western media.
    Is it a reflection of our attitudes and tastes, or an active attempt to divert attention by the powers-that-be because it suits them? Both? Is it part of this weird modern western thing where you can't be seen to disparage certain demographics/ideologies, because reasons?

    Not really, I'm craving a multi-book traditional (but not too traditional!) Fantasy series. I've got a few older titles chambered (Lankhmar, Conan, Zothique, Worm Ouroboros), and a few Sci-Fi authors ready to go (Gibson, Heinlein, Stephenson, Banks), but was coming up empty on that sort of Malazan-adjacent stuff

    Think I Narrowed it down to a few: Once and Future King, one of Daniel Abraham's Long Price/Dagger and Coin series, Cameron's Traitor Son, or Library at Mount Char. Would love any suggestions inside or outside of that list!

    Haha, your comment usually prompts me to log in! But this year I've been struggling with finding a new series to read, so I had to clock in early :)
