I just keep doing this. Gets people to either agree with me or leave me alone so problem solved either way.

I wish to lodge a complaint.
I was quietly leveling the warlock who was SUPPOSED to be my Horde main this expac before a bajillion things, including heritage armor, happened. So he got left behind in favor of my orc DK. Again. (Also my caster brain is still set to RUN AT THE ENEMY AND BREAK THEM ON YOUR BODY which doesnât usually work for warlocks.) But anyway, thatâs not the point.
The point is that I cleverly set up a portal from the top of LM down the hill. So you can rapidly respond to BS/farm without dying. And while I was patting my own back for this handy bit of convenience I never see anyone set up for my warriors so they donât have to use heroic leap (rude, btw), a shaman ran right past my portal, jumped off, and died. There werenât even any Alliance in the area. It was like he was dying just to spite me. I am now annoyed by goblins for entirely new reasons.

Today sucks. I just lost my Discord Account from Email being Hacked on there as well as my account being locked so I had to start again a new and after about joining up with Discord Servers and trying to catch up with people the Discord Mods locked shutdown my new account that I was going to start fresh on.
This sucks very much.

Well Iâve officially spent far too long in courthouses.
Unsurprisingly my own charges were dropped as there isnât actually anything illegal about blacking out in a hedge on public property.
But then I got jury summons for literally the next week. And honest to God if Iâve to serve my country again I think Iâll opt for the trenches.
6 whole hours of sitting in a jury pool while the judge asked 30+ people the same six questions. Felt like a very strange dating game.
I do get a kick outâve any state ordered appearance in Chicago though. Because youâll never find a more diverse grouping of bored looking people.
And apparently itâs not common knowledge Spanish is as diverse as English. Speaking Mexican Spanish to an already confused Chilean would be like hiring a Jamacian to try to explain things to a Scotsman. Theyâre going to get 30% of it at most and youâre liable to make things even more confusing.

I have come to the conclusion that the one weakness of Tyranids is Lucius the Eternal.
Throw him at the Hive Fleet and their satisfaction over eating him will turn them into Lucius and they will die from being turned into Lucius again and again until the Tyranid main fleet is wiped out splitting the Tyranids into lesser Hive Fleets each with their own lesser Hive Minds!
The Tyranids will be crippled!
Chaos has shown to be disinterested in the Tyranids. The alien ichor their carapace spew does nothing for Khorn, theyâre immune to most humanoid diseases so there goes Nurgle, Tzneetch doesnât get thrills outâve confounding the plans of basically a giant mouth, and Slaneesh is confused how you seduce a centipede made out of fangs.
Meanwhile the Tyranids already avoid some planets. Planets where the silence is far worse than the screams the Nids would cause.
The Tyranids are nothing but the concept of life on steroids. A pulsuating swarm of constantly eating, constantly reproducing, constantly evolving creatures. And thereâs only one way to defeat that. With the permanence and certainty of the grave;
Tyranids still feel satisfaction from killing and Lucius is always revived from satisfaction related to his demise even from Necrons.
The cold satisfaction of Necrons is still satisfaction as far as Slaanesh is concerned so the Tyranidsâ delighted satisfaction would work just as well in making them vessels for Lucius the Eternalâs resurrection.
Of course as far as the Hive Mind is concerned Slaanesh is just a rival Hive Mind continuously stealing itâs members to repurpose them and will attempt to figure out what genetic flaw is causing this devoting most of the Hive Fleetâs thoughts towards figuring out how to counter this slow yet cunning rival.
Of course it might be possible that the Hive Mind might simply plow forward while Lucius plows inward. After all what is one mind going to do to an entire Hive Mind once he reaches the center of the Main Hive. Slaaneshâs tendril reaching into the center of the Hive Mind will provide an anchor for the Hive Mind to dig into him in curiosity.
Raw Hunger vs the desire for Perfect Ecstasy(not just Lust as Slaanesh is chasing any Ecstasy including Avarice, Gluttony, Triumph, Artistry, Pain, Sounds, Sights, Secrets, Flavor of Food, Smells and Sleep). Could the purest Hunger that Lucius was thrown into be an Ecstasy that would draw Slaaneshâs attention?
Of course for Lucius to wind up in the care of the Tyranid Main Hive the Imperium would have to launch him directly at it while putting him in stasis after disarming him.
Incidentally on the matter of Chaos Tyranids:
https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/vm2l0d/infected_tyranids/
Leviathanâs enormous Baal invasion fleet is torn into a thousand fragments, and spat out across the vast expanse of the galaxy. Several hundred bio-ships tumble out of the void in the heart of the Maelstrom, and there fall upon the piratical fleet of Huron Blackheart, master of the Red Corsairs. Another, larger host emerges in the midst of the Velis System, fearfully close to the heart of Segmentum Solar. Garbled distress calls received from Velis Prime speak of frenzied, shrieking swarms of Tyranids covered in bizarre, fungoid growths and wielding previously unrecorded bio- weapons. It is unknown how many more of these splinter fleets survived the cataclysm at Baal intact.
Seems Nurgle has no problem with the Tyranids.
The difference is Chaos is a larger cancer than arguably the Tyranids themselves. Whereas at the very least cultured humans can get along perfectly well with their intellectual peers amongst the Necron;
All hail the patron saint of museum curators and histographers everywhere;

Just looked at a Video of Umineko When They Cry where Lambdadelta mentions Bernkastelâs Logic Error and she mentions that the Game Master(of Higurashi When They Cry) was the one who put Bernkastel in charge of solving the Logic Error. Furthermore the Manga shows a Hanyuu-like figure.
The funny thing is 07Ryukishi the Writer claims that Lambdadelta herself was the Game Master along with mentioning how Gods can create copies of existing Characters with Eua and Hanyuu being copies of a single Character with Hanyuu being a failure.
In otherwords Lambdadelta was a Game Masterâs crude copy of Eua while Hanyuu was a weaker copy of Lambdadelta herself when she decided to become a Game Master. The Eua of Higurashi When They Cry Gou was a copy of the real Eua that Lambdadelta made towards ensuring her goal which if you listen to Lambdadeltaâs dialogue was to make Takano Miyo into a God.
Her original plan was clearly to have Rika suggest that Hanyuu feed herself to Takano but that failed when Rika defeated her. Lambdadelta in a year directed Rika towards a Truck and then sent her to Higurashi Reiâs Timeline and had her rip a weak Hanyuu Copy out of her motherâs guts as a cruel lesson to Rika.
Her second attempt to ascend Takano to Godhood by stuffing Hanyuu into Rikaâs body(which was to be eaten by Takano) with Rikaâs Memories failed when she stumbled upon Rikaâs Soul getting kicked out in the process.
Her third attempt Higurashi When They Cry Gou was to strip Hanyuu of her Body while copying Eua onto it, stuff a copy of Featherine(the true Kuwadorian Beatrice) into Rika driving her to go to St Lucia driving Satoko(who was modified to be more like Lambdadelta) to look through the shed containing the Furude Familyâs relics and stumble upon Hanyuuâs Corpse, mention the fact to Rika causing Rika to commit suicide trapping her in the Loop again and wait for Takano to eat Hanyuuâs Eua-empowered corpse.
The plan got derailed by Eua giving Satoko Looping Powers without Satoko getting a chance to see anything but Hanyuuâs Horn which had rotted of and fell out of the container.
Lambdadelta only noticed when she discovered that the Hanyuu that Rika extracted from her mother sacrificed herself so that Rika could remember who killed her which tipped off Lambdadelta that something went wrong forcing her to confront the copy of Eua and discover that her Satoko Game Piece was given Looping Powers to her horror.
Lambdadelta ended up defeating the Eua Copy, got the Club to give a pep talk to Rika and Satoko to resolve their problems followed by reviving Hanyuu as soon as Witch Satoko(who had a copy of one of Euaâs failures I.E. Beatrice the Golden Witch stuffed into her driving her to become a Murderous Witch) had left the Gameboard.
In Meguri it seems Lambdadelta is combining her second and third plan by swapping Rika and Satokoâs Souls though not their memories while stuffing a Copy of Eua into Hanyuuâs corpse yet again. Time will tell what the results of this Game will be. Obviously considering the Memoirs of Lambdadelta it too will be a failure.
Her plans only start to succeed during Higurashi When They Cry Mei where it appears Rosa/Chloe Ironside has discovered the full nature of the Rokkenjima Massacre from Featherine and is seeking a Fragment where Eva is still alive while also working to create Maria Ushiromiya yet again.
In Higurashi When They Cry Mei the Black Witch Chloe personally ascends Takano to Black Witch status(something Lambdadelta herself notices) and begins plans to make Maria Ushiromiya(which is noticed by Kinzo AKA Bernkastel who now wants the full details).
Furthermore it seems Chloe contacted Krauss and Natsuhi(who appears to be a Rika Copy) and they sent Une(the real Jessica Ushiromiya whom âKanonâ calls Une-Sama in the same way the metaphor for Kanon calls Jessica by the term Jessica-Sama) as well.
The Truth of Uminekoâs Characters will soon be revealed I suspect starting with Lambdadelta(who technically is revealed by comparing her own statements to 07Ryukishiâs), Beatrice(Iâm sure we will see Lambdadelta acknowledging Beatrice as a Witch and preparing Umineko as a Game for Bernkastel to play) and Kuwadorian Beatrice in Higurashi When They Cry Meguri.
So if any of this ish abouf 'dem aliens is real, genuine question, why havenât we dissolved the concept of nations and borders to frantically work toward;

No Country wants to submit to another. That said it would be a lot more logical to reverse engineer various ships tech to get our Countries into Space to create Space Empires as fast as possible.
Oh sure there will be multiple Empires ruling each Planet at first but as they spread out their territories will eventually be in separate branches from each other.
A branching collection of Space Empires holding their capitals within the Solar System.
Weâd need space stations for that. Earth is in the goldilocks zone with all the other planets (even Mars) too hot or too cold to support life (and thatâs before we consider their other traits, like the gas giants).
If/When we develope the tech to not only reach other planets and colonize them, presumably weâd also develope the tech to terraform planets such as Mars to make them livable.
Thatâs far off into the future though.
Right. People within a nation canât get along well, much less nations dissolving borders to work together.
There will always be belligerent parties trying to upset any world order. The notion of world order makes some people balk, because they are nationalists of some type or another.
Iâm not sure anything but an all out Alien attack like Independence Day would unite the Human Race. Aliens just existing doesnât appear to be enough.
Even then we would still have groups of people trying to get their hands on any alien tech and using it sow disorder amongst the masses.
Sad fact is, humanity is always going to have malcontents amongst us who just want to sow evil for evils sake

Yes that means that salvaged Extraterrestrial Tech is vital for creating Empires.
Weâd need our Empires to exist within Space Stations some built onto the Planets themselves.
Mercury is starting to sound like it will eventually be covered in Space Station.
The Sun of course would be doomed to become a White Dwarf without being allowed to enter the Red Giant Phase due to Star-Lifting Tech leeching the Helium away to make a new Star for the Solar System.
Iâm sure the Aesthetics of the other Planets will protect them from the dreaded fate of becoming all Space Station.
The Planet Marsâs desert is too well known to be completely erased. Same goes for Venusâs Sulfur Clouds as well as Uranus and Neptuneâs Clouds.
Jupiter and Saturnâs Clouds would be inaccessible due to them being all Hydrogen and thus impossible to float in like the other Gas Giants.
Incidentally anyone with the Tech to get to here should have the Tech to make anything they want since to get to here you have to break countless laws of Physics thus making you a Reality Warper with your Tech.
I wouldnât be surprised if a would-be colonizer starts building Space Empires to their personal Aesthetics whichever they may be:
