The mother helped to induce an abortion past 20 weeks and then they worked together to conceal the remains. Pre-Dobbs, this still would have been illegal. This would have been illegal across most of Europe. Nebraska law at the time put the limit at 20 weeks for an abortion.
She had plenty of time. When we’re going into the 5 month territory, you know you’re pregnant. They had the opportunity to do this the right way.
It’s right wing populism. It’s the second Lavender Scare. Populism has never worked, it’s too chaotic. But that’s what regular folks are goaded into by people like Tucker Carlson. He’s a multimillionaire being paid to defend billionaires. He is the wealthy owner class he screams about on TV.
The only downside I can see to this is that now everyone is going to be wearing orange shirts, for an orange man, depicting his pale fucking face, and it will be awful.
The world after gov regulations that have been systematically dismantled for robber baron profits.
I might be pulling this out of my ass, but I somehow recall that some of the wizard abilities in D3 implied telekinesis. Which then implies that psychics could be real. I think you could combine it with some aspects of like 1800s spiritualism or aesthetic mysticism to nail down the theme.
I think it would fit right in to the gritty world D4 has made. Maybe be a sect of Ivgorod, which gives us a reason to go there for the first time and maybe back to Arreat to re-settle the clans.
Edit: Oh! I also forgot to mention how it could be so environmentally interactive. Like telekinetically throwing random environmental objects at enemies or slamming enemies against walls in tight spaces.
For some reason this also made me think that whips should be a weapon class. Rogues, the psychic, & sorc could use them.
I mean they invented time travel for the shop. Why can’t they make psychics?
I think a psychic class would be cool.
Thank fucking christ. I’m so tired of that authoritarian asshole getting news.
