Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.

"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."

Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.

The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."

xkit rewritten, which should be used instead of the shambling corpse of old xkit, lives in the addon bar of your browser!

20 years and he has not learned a single thing. He’s still throwing a tantrum about people not liking his bad name suggestion decades ago

I will say I get the vibe that a lot of peoples interest and support for strikers is a bit too much for a vicarious ‘burn it down’ thrill, rather than for the actual goals of a strike.

Like UPS has agreed to come back to the table and it is very possible they will concede to Union demands and avert a strike. And if that happens (so long as the union does not make concessions on its key demands) it’s a good thing. It’s a victory for the laborers. It is the same ultimate conclusion that a strike would intend to produce except without the workers having to go on (not so great) strike pay for a week or two.

please pay attention to who gets a strike averting offer and who doesn’t. that’s not about how good that union’s negotiators are. it’s about how bad the bosses will immediately look if a strike happens.

if ups teamsters go on strike, they’re delivering a major blow to consumerism.people will feel it right away.

we’re not going to see the consequences of WGA & SAG-AFTRA for months, and it won’t be as dramatic as “in three days, riots broke out over city wide shortages of toilet paper.” tv will get shittier, but we’re already used to unscripted tv. there are big backlogs of stuff to watch. lots of big budget movies are already in the can. the deleterious effect on us will be hard to see for a long while.

also, you’re not even safe if you win. the harper collins union went on strike, and they reached an agreement, and now a lot of them don’t have jobs because HC closed a successful imprint where lots of those striking employees worked, and i don’t think anyone but the most insider baseball people realized that, even though starbucks has closed down locations with union membership even if that store was highly profitable more than once.

corporate oligarchs settling up fast with supply chain people instead of playing chicken with them is the no brainer move. now they can get ignorant suckers to say, “they offered UPS a fair deal, [insert union here] is just being selfish and refusing to negotiate.”

so it’s not a burn it down thrill for me. and maybe it’s not for you either, person who is reading this who gave a little fist pump every time you heard a strike vote has been authorized. maybe you, like me, felt hopeful that solidarity would turn this hellscape around and were prepared to suffer disruptions to see it done.

please don’t be ashamed of that.
