star child: "organics and synthetics cannot coexist"

shepard: "I literally just solved the geth/quarian war five minutes ago and my pilot is banging the ship's AI"
Fundamentally every ending to ME3 asks you to concede that the Reapers are a bad solution to a real problem & propose an alternate solution to that problem. But the entire story up to that point was one long argument that the problem wasn't real except insofar as the Reapers caused it on purpose
legitimately one of the most insanely left-field endings to an rpg i can recollect

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

The number one rule of bluesky: block early, block often. It’s FAR more effective here than it was on Twitter, especially for this brigading shit.
A lot of regular MAGA filth followed Trump administration accounts to Bluesky. Their only purpose is to troll, to trigger libs. Block them on sight, starve them of oxygen, let them scream into the void.
Depends on how many benzos they gave him

I was off taking my test, and then driving home, and then unconscious til 3 pm
Also considered by Finns to be one of Finland’s greatest artists. Finland has good taste, clearly.

One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends.
