Honest to god the only way to right the franchise is retcon a majority of the disney shit and give the power back to freakish sf authors writing about their super cool oc in mini-arcville. The disney canon is just fucking cooked.

The disney lizardmen and jay jay the franchise killer did more damage to the sequel trilogies viability than the TFA and RoS combined. They managed to create a canon so dogshit it disengaged the freaks and the nerds that breathe life into a franchise. Sequel trilogy was DOA

Starfish Who Can’t Think Something Witty @irhottakes.bsky.social · 1d

Honestly, all I want out of Star Wars post prequels is a warring states period where creatives and gamers have permission to make their own weird little microfactions. The sequels suck for gaming because they explicitly rule out cool stuff happening anywhere else.

The koch brothers/peter thiel could not of conceived of a greater "gender" based cognitohazard than what that bastard seems to delight in. The takes will be hot and they will be bad. Avoid at your own peril.

This has to actually cross the line of negligence and stupidity that's so purposeful and malicious that this dolt should have their life ruined.

They're a step in the right direction, being able to mobilize your coalition without obvious provocation is important in building the momentum and control needed to hammer critical moments, issues and places.

I read somewhere that a bunch of hifreq traders have brought a few of them back into commission to get a speed edge on trades.

They just are common touchpoints that intersect with the higher dimensional vectorspaces a lot in a way thats useful for meaning vector operations that occur within models frequently thats emojis are used so much they lie along a ton of the vector spaces.

i suspect that words (when used in this way) are more like opcodes than "words," representing various directions on the manifold rather than discrete concepts. i am skeptical of the idea that they are meaningless.

Most of the opsec people tend to model their tactics after the Hong Kong protestors, which is fine except the Hong Kong protesters just lost. Protest is supposed to be a sacrificial act, you sacrifice your time, wages, and social standing. It's the sacrifice that really makes people pay attention.

lol people HATE this post so much but actually you can safely do this

There’s going to be several million people at these protests. If you’re not doing crimes, if you’re standing with a bunch of retirees in front of the mall or wherever, you can take the picture and share it.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

You are all a bunch of sick freaks
I stumbled onto this subreddit looking for tips on running a basic Plex server, and holy shit, you people are insane. Instead of finding normal humans, I find complete psychos debating ZFS configurations like they're discussing fine wine. "Ah yes, this RAIDZ2 has subtle notes of data integrity." You are all a bunch of sick vitamin D deficient freaks.
I actually work with and manage multiple Kubernetes, mission critical infrastructure that actually matters. I spend my entire day working with containerised applications, and what do I find when I load up Reddit? Ansible playbook writing maniacs trying to automate their light switches. You are all a bunch of sick freaks who probably dream in YAML and wake up in cold sweats wondering if you forgot to enable that cron job
The worst part is how you enable each other. "Hey guys, just finished my basic home automation setup", and then you post a system diagram that looks like the blueprint for a nuclear reactor. Fourteen Docker containers just to manage a suite of internet of things connected shitware. You celebrate each others descent into madness with vomit inducing comments like "Nice setup! Have you considered adding Prometheus monitoring?" You are all a bunch of sick freaks, you make me ill.
And the money you guys must spaff away... you've somehow convinced yourself that spending thousands on enterprise server equipment from 2012 is justified as it was originally 10x the cost. And then you refer to it as "your little setup". "Oh this? Just my Dual mirrored RAID 10 arrays with triple redundant UPS and backup diesel generator that kicks in if the power flicks for more than 3 milliseconds. You know, for my Linux ISO collection" Meanwhile your electricity meter spins so fast it could probably generat its own electricity. You are all a bunch of sick freaks, and you need help.
I take solace in imagining what your home lives are like, I laugh as I imagine your families, having to sit through …

Mid-level genre shlock is better at exploring ideas and providing insight into the art of writing than canon/classics. Most canon/classics lack the wierdo-schizo factor that can elevate works and or bring into relief core assumptions about the world.

This is why we need to heaven ban every single billionaire on social media so they don't get radicalized by knowing the opinions of college students. Its how we can make our rich dumbasses useful to society aside from making them less rich.

People will scoff at virtue signaling and then wonder why today’s billionaires don’t build museums, libraries, hospitals, and universities like Gilded Age ones did.
