My father has decided that his two year old grandson chewing on AA batteries is fine
  • That's really fucked up. Idk what to do. Dare them to eat a battery I suppose.

    Edit : Maybe try to record the parents or grandparent. Worst case scenario, they won't be able to blame it on anyone but themselves and you'll have legal proof.

  • You should call the police or something like that at this point. At this rate it's only a matter of time before something incredibly dangerous happens to the kid. I understand that you might want to avoid conflict or go easy on your father, but this may very well be a matter of life or death. I don't know about the Law in your country, but in most you father could be severely punished for that kind of neglect. Try looking for someone else to babysit the kid at least.

  • You can't separate art from the artist
  • I mean I guess that depends on the medium. The creator's political positions are generally less present in drawings for example.

    Though as a rabid book enjoyer, I must admit that I abandoned quite a few due to their political undertones. A nice example would be World War Z, which despite being well written (at the beginning at least) contains so much american propaganda that I sometimes got the feeling that the author had a checklist. As far as I remember, every enemy of the US is bastardized, except maybe Iran. And of course there's bootlicking for Israel and the US.

    But even then, guessing that the author is a reactionary doesn't necessarily make their work unreadable, it depends on how much they let their thoughts transpire into their works.

  • Imagine having the entire western world backing you with billions of dollars and the most advanced murder machines in human history and you get owned by a fuckin rock.
  • Pyrrhus, king of Epirus : "While he was fighting an Argive soldier, the soldier's old mother, who was watching from a rooftop, threw a tile which knocked him from his horse and broke part of his spine, paralyzing him. Whether he was alive or not after the blow is unknown, but his death was assured when a Macedonian soldier named Zopyrus, though frightened by the look on the face of the unconscious king, hesitantly and ineptly beheaded his motionless body."

  • I'm actually thinking about including this in my current worldbuilding project. In my universe, dwarves have a particular talent for enchanting magic, runes and wards. This allows them to create advanced pieces of machinery that would otherwise be impossible.

    They use this magic to create a dedicated headgear for their musketeers, which includes hearing protection, flash protection, air filtering, and enhanced night vision. There's a whole sub-story about those headgears evolving into basically power armors over the decades, to the point that they eventually become too over-enginereed and expensive to be actually viable in warfare.

    In addition, after a certain point in development, only mages could actually use those armors. This led to the muskets being modified to channel magic too, thus they couldn't be used by a normal dwarf anymore either.

    My world is more in a Pike and Shot era militarily speaking, as there isn't magic capable of blowing up formations, artillery is still too primitive to do a lot of damage, and magic beasts like dragons maintain the usefulness of dedicated pikemen formations.
