    You prefer your fantasy that happens in other worlds to be more grounded? It’s amazing how boring this world view is.

    I will allow authors to take me on a ride and I will fill in gaps where needed. Frankly I have no reason to believe a Sarlacc in this world does any of that, how did the people in the star wars universe figure that out? Maybe it reads more like a boogeyman legend about a creature the Hutt’s use to execute people. I might add that our only in world evidence is boba fett getting out of one, not super scary. I’m just adding a bit of my own spice to the world because it’s been left open to me to do so. That’s fun!

    Imagination and thinking are the same thing, you have to think to imagine What an unusually dull world you inhabit!

    It’s easier than that, it’s not feeding on the creatures protein and fat it’s predating on the creatures soul, or pain.

    A creature of this size wouldn’t get there or stay there on victims stumbling into it. Especially in the deep desert, it’s victims are likely few and far between. When it gets a conscious species, it tortures it for 1,000 years until the things’ spirit and consciousness merge with the hive mind. They are clearly putting energy into maintaining the life of the victim.

    I do a different kind of imagination work in my head for mysteries like this. The way you think seems very mundane and boring.



  • Fuck, i love this so much as an idea, or what if the Sith Lord’s consciousness became dominant rather than merged. The only problem is that Boba Fett cut himself out of one with some armor shards and hatred. An ancient sith lord could probably wear one as a hat.

    Extra idea, Sith Lord’s consciousness has been waiting for a perfect force sensitive victim to fall in, so they can transfer to that body, Naruto style.





  • Americans are dumb because the system works as designed. The rich remove value, the populace feels like they have a say in things when really the decisions are made for them at a much higher level.

    The party leadership isn’t stupid, the parties themselves act like corporations with diffusive responsibilities and agendas that lead to the same ends, the party leadership is agenda driven on maintaining power. Much like the party is.

    The state of American voters and voting is a result that was arrived at on purpose. The populace doesn’t actually have any power in this representative democracy at the highest levels. It’s pure oligarchy.

    The DNC isn’t stupid, it’s evil.



  • They (the Biden admin) purposefully withheld polling data that showed he had 0 chance to win, him and Kamala. Rather than attempt to find a candidate who would be popular in the general, they canceled the primaries.

    Biden admin all but promised they would run 1 term in 2020, it was strictly an anti trump ticket in a post-covid world that was sick of him.

    Trump was very simply a more popular candidate in 2024 who ran a much better campaign that wasn’t hamstrung by NOT talking about Palestine, the biggest news story at the time. People entirely forgot how bad he ratfucked us on covid, they remembered the name on the checks.

    Any facist who follows that playbook within the general election will do the same, especially if there’s a opposition that quite literally knew they would lose and ran anyway. American elections are a joke because the American populace is fully captured by advertising and thus remain uneducated and ignorant.

    Kamala could have won if Biden left later. Her best performance was immediately after he stepped down because they kept her from talking the entire Biden campaign (she was very unpopular). The second she had time to talk it was over, Kamala is a bad public speaker and terrible on the spot.

    I’ll even tell you the moment she lost it. When she said the wall was a good idea on national television to Anderson Cooper. That was it. American elections are a popularity contest, we (the American populace) don’t take them seriously.



  • It’s a very good movie. I am a non markiplier fan who went to the movie because my markiplier fan friend wanted to see it. Holy shit was i glad I went with him, cause this movie is legitimately good.

    After having had a week to reflect on it, I think the main problem was markiplier’s acting. I think he must be an excellent director and producer, there’s no reason he needs to act as well. The movie plays like a 2 hour cut scene in a good way. The bits of world building made me want more, made me want to play the game to seek it out. This was successful both as a stand-alone movie and as an advertisement for the game.

    It punches above its budget as well imo. Aside from some janky visuals at the beginning, once you’re inside the vehicle with Markiplier, it feels big. It doesn’t feel like you are trapped in personal sized submarine the whole time at all.



  • I think that’s what their saying, since coke/cocaine and coke/coca cola are both named coke because of the same chemical.

    I dunno which came first tho, far as I can tell cocaine in both drug and drink form started getting called coke around 1900-1910. The coca-cola company didn’t like the nickname, they advertised you saying the name in full, they didn’t actually copyright “coke” for coca-cola it till the 1940’s.


  • The only true segregation is wealth based, the last civil war had astoundingly clearly delineated lines and you still had brother killing brother. Modern war isn’t like that. It’s city by city with things totally calm 30 miles over. Moving like a cloud of death from community to community. Old grudges, family issues, bad neighbors, bad bosses, anything will get you killed.

    Not a world i want to be in, no guarantee what this place looks like after, there isn’t a good guys win scenario, we’re in an oligarchy. Maybe it’s that shit Marx talked about, but i bet it’s Gilead.
