It means that when you require a permit, your putting stricter restictions on guns, there for raising your social conservatism.

My friends - I NEED YOUR HELP. I have been trying a lot to convince President Humpheria to join the Latrovian Administration team as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I believe that his knowledge of our constitution and his love of our region will make him an excellent choice of a Minister representing our region's best interests externally.

I am asking for your assistance by posting these hashtags to inform our friend and comrade Humpheria how much he means to us.

Me and Gordon just had a meeting with Sir Topham Hatt (my Prime Minister), Toby (my Minister of Transportation), and Edward (my Minister of Finance), and all three of them expressed concern that large overseas expansion could lead to us losing focus of Sodor, and could possibly force us to make some painful sacrifices on Sodor. So, we decided that Percyton's expansion outside of Sodor and Cumbria (England) will be a separate-but-somewhat-connected company from the main Sodor Railways company. Me and my government will still be involved in overseeing this expansion, but much of the decision-making and day-to-day operations will be handled by this new company (tentatively called Sodor Railways International). The main leadership of this new company will likely be engines who already live on Sodor or frequently visit Sodor (such as Connor, Caitlin, and Spencer), but since this will be an international company, we'd also be open to hiring business executives and other qualified people from other countries.

On a lighter note, we're encouraged by the positive reception we've heard so far, and our representatives will soon be in contact with regional and national officials about the terms of expansion.

I wasn't around when that happened, but Thomas and Edward told me about it. The other engines still tease Henry about it once-in-a-while, and he doesn't like that.

Mdogao wrote:At what point does a train become a Train, and can talk and think like you?

That's a good question, and I still don't really have the full answer to that myself. What I've heard is that some engines, especially British and Sudrian engines, come alive almost as soon as they are created. Other engines need a little magic to bring them alive, with Island of Sodor coal being the easiest source of magic for engines. Most engines can then run on regular coal and stay alive once they've used Island of Sodor coal once or twice, but some engines take longer to fully absorb the magic.

They actually made a move which kind of explains this, called Thomas and the Magic Railroad, but I don't think the movie's explanation is completly accurate.

It could be worse; one engine got in trouble a lot because he rode roughly and often came off the rails. As punishment, the manager turned the engine into a generator, with the engine even keeping his face and (presumably) his consciousness while he was a stationary generator.

A Lord of Cinder is, by necessity, one who has succeeded in Linking the ancient fire inside of Lothric/Lordran/The Profaned Capital

They are those who fight for their cause, knowing full well that whatever gain they make is transient and worthless in comparison to the -admittedly temporary- golden age that will follow in their death.

That said, they are only made when the First Flame is in dire peril, and even the Chosen Undead fail in their journey -though I suppose they did complete their part in the revolving prophesy a very long time ago- and are from then on defeated by the various Champions of Ash -themselves having failed to link the Flame in any meaningful way- such that the Age of Fire might be further prolonged.

Unfortunately, madness often takes a Lord of Cinder, and those who come back to once again be fuel for the fire must, often inexorably- be put down with Ash itself being returned to the thrones they once sat in.

To be a Lord of Cinder is to be willing to self-sacrifice in the most heroic of ways, not with stoicism, or dignity, or even with calm sometimes.

It is to feel dread and terror (and indeed determination) even as you fight the combined strength and tactics of all those who have come before you and succeeded, the finale enemy being an amalgamate of the Fire's fuels from the ages.

Conversely, to be a Lord of Hollows would be to reject the notion of there being an inherent, sovereign duty discharged upon the strong, and to instead steal the fires strength for what is -hopefully- all eternity as the King of all the darkness touches, and the conqueror of what little light remains, though, perhaps that is not as immoral as it might seem, seeing as the Fire itself has killed or Hollowed thousands just to stay alive against the abyss.

While he makes a few unnecessarily snide comments about the show, Nostalgia Critic brought up some good points regarding the movie: Thomas and the engines were barely in it, lazy attempt to get the audience involved, overly-complex plot for a movie aimed at little kids, etc.

tbh I'm still a little confused on the whole Magic Railroad situation. Like, all that travelling back and forth

Woah

I can understand why. I kind of understood it when I was younger, but I don't think I cared that much: I just wanted to see Thomas and his engine friends in a movie. They could have just made a feature-length Thomas and Friends episode and I would've loved it.

Socialistic policies don't necessarily incorporate controlling the speech of the populous. (Unless your nation is a left nationalist state) In any case, you're still welcome here!

Meh, I don't regard the Socialist system as a truthful or actually stable functioning political system mainly due to the middle and upper classes being practically bastardized for earning more money than others. It isn't very fair in that sense. Nevertheless, you are welcome like anyone else!

I've rejected the religion founding issue about five times. My people may be mildly religious, but I perceive it as being privately religious. My country can't be bothered to collect tax or initiate government spending, so they sure as sh!t won't have state recognition of any particular faith.

My country is extremely secular and irreligious. No faith schools, churches are taxed, no religious figures in government, no public funding of religion.

And we looove collecting tax in Nuremgard. All 61% of it. I'm pretty sure the civil servants at the Treasury use the country's tax receipts as masturbatory material.
