however it would be pleasing if someone stubbornly and affectedly stuck to a french pronunciation (like même) since that's presumably the root of it
I'm fairly sure the root is Dawkins analogizing ideas that spread to genes spreading, and designing a word that is explicitly supposed to sound like gene?
oh wait really? I thought it was like, meme chose/same thing. Have never really looked it up
wait no I am not going to go look this up but I'll trust someone to look it up and tell me
That is the case, I am uptalking to not sound combative :P
huh; I stand corrected. This is good to know so I can now give this trivia to other clueless olds

It was Dawkins. Probably the best contribution he's made to society, depending on your point of view
I obviously(?) am a Dawkins fan. It was awesome when he came to gave a talk at Janelia Research Campus! My lab really enjoyed it.
It looks like I am wrong on the etymology (it's a shortening of a Greek word) but he does say it should be rhymed with "cream" and I swear I read that that was intentional somewhere.
Wait....Am I wrong???
*Googles*
With how I've heard cream pronounced that doesn't clarify it.

oh good the promotion paperwork went through and i got a whole bonus paycheck basically
fuckin' yesssssss
Buy me more dragons
which dragons do you have right now btw
sounds like you're trying Lylyth 1 today, right? She's pretty decent. Parasite is a fantastic spell.
Apparently Legion players are gravitating toward Lylyth 2 (pincushion is amazing for a gunline) and 3 lately. Her battle engine version is weird, I'm not sure how she'd play.
I have the MK2 and MK3 battle boxes
So, bolt thrower, neraph, carnivean, six shredders, lylyth1, kryssa, and one forsaken.
I'm gonna buy another bolt thrower, neraph, and a seraph as my next buys, I think
We are trapped here in Console Freeplay. We cannot get out. We hear the howling of PAX attendees. We have barred the gates, but they keep coming. Drums, drums, echoing in the dark...
We cannot get out.
They are coming...

Discount games has just the warbeasts from the MK3 box for $20, so I'm gonna pick those up next paycheck for sure, which is another bolt thrower, neraph, and two more shredders

@Hahnsoo1 who's your boss?
have you met shoat? he's nice when he isn't grumpy
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Ok I got a host and stuff setup and then ran into DNS issues. Everything about setting up a website is roughly 4x harder than it needs to be. Hopefully I'll be able to have it setup tonight.
I was weak and just bought a wordpress template as a jumping off point.

hmm you want two neraphs? they're usually only good with specific casters, though they do look neat.
seraph seems like it's obligatory for the slipstream, for sure.
i'd consider a ravagore or two, especially if you dig lylyth. ravagores are fkin' amazing and a great model.
I've heard meme explained with Trireme as if that's a common enough word in the English vernacular to say "why yes, meme does look like it should be pronounced completely counter-intuitively" Supreme works better, but still, you don't expect a 4 letter word to sound like that, especially when "meem" is sitting right there as the alternative spelling of that pronunciation.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Yeah trying to explain to a northern racist that they are racist is just totally fucking impossible.
Also I need to buy a succubus, she's super useful because kryssa and lylyth1 are both hella focus starved
Plus lylyth needs concealment like crazy
succubus, shepherds and forsaken are all super useful if you want to go beast-heavy
legion has some of the best fury management in the game and Forsaken are surprisingly useful--their fury burst can wipe out whole infantry units and i always forget about them
also the spell martyrs for casters who don't have a range amplifier like Lylyth

You're a monster.
Fuck I'm jealous vowels.
I had to watch that shit happen as I started my honeymoon
Plus lylyth needs concealment like crazy
it is over one thousand pages
yet it hasn't got nearly enough explanation of each topic
telescoping series got half a page devoted to it
You heard anyone call soda tonic yet. That's that super old New England shit

no, thankfully
I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
I haven't watched it in ages, but I still think that episode with the non-flammable American flags is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Yeah trying to explain to a northern racist that they are racist is just totally fucking impossible.
So, is this a bug science thing, or a pax thing, or a marriage thing, or some combination of the three...?
They're all
not
great about it but I don't want to be super obnoxious by interjecting science into their awful relationship plans
(one of them I'd happily interject with since she'd actually listen, though, and I don't like her mind getting poisoned by other people's awful ideas)
