Legit, my stupid friends got mad at me for pointing this out the first time. Biden hasn’t held a regular job since the 70’s. His job was fundraising for politics. They picked him to run with Obama because he was the most milquetoast centrist available (which is literally a proponent of the police state in the US). He was a token, a skin tone balancer. Everyone’s buddy gaffin’ Joe.

These dynastic politico assholes are the problem. If you’ve spent your whole life in politics, you are deeply out of touch. You can’t possibly legislate properly if you haven’t been forced to engage with the job market for decades. Not even because you are good at your job, because incumbency is the thing that decides elections in MOST cases.

“We’ll screw them over by handing them a load of cash!” It’s the classic switcheroo. That’s so stupid it’s gotta feel embarrassing to say.

It’s a very weird team sport thing. You tend to see a lot of incredibly lucid and detailed conversation in academia about it, but lab leak and natural origin split into a political argument for the majority of people who have it.

But interestingly, a lot of governments accept the lab leak theory, maybe because the project of finding and testing wild viruses for potential pandemic response was an internationally funded project that all governments either quietly or loudly (in the case of the US) stopped funding immediately once a pandemic happened. Kinda understandably, fat lot of good that did.

No one wants the smoke if it was a lab leak, if it was a purely natural thing at this wet market, well that can happen at any wet market anywhere in the world, there is no culpability there.

What we do know is that we’ll likely never know the true origin of the virus, because the place it happened didn’t cooperate with finding the source of it. And if they have more evidence than the same samples and maps everyone else has, they aren’t telling.

His entire OG staff is evaporating and he’s letting them rip pieces off the boat they helped him build to do so. I honestly wish I could never see this dude’s face or hear his voice again, but his slop is so ubiquitous it’s impossible to escape.

But Zip Tie Tech is a fun channel that’s come from the ashes of LTTs reputation.

“I didn’t realize the leopards would eat my own face.”

Claw it back.

If they’re depending on musk for this tho, they’re fucked. His stupid ass robots are vaporware.

Aww you care about people agreeing with you online, that’s honestly adorable!

Lmao, I’m the neckbeard! I’m not being a gatekeeping snob over what type of fiction people like. You came in here being condescending , I’m just calling you out for what you are.

Someone who desperately wants me to care about what you care about in fiction, calling what other people like slop, and being mad people are having fun. Like how is that not neckbeard snobbery?

I mean I’m not trying, to convince you of anything, nothing i or anyone says is gonna change your mind, at this point I just find your opinion boring and a bit sad!

I made this for you:

Dude I’m not trying to convince you, I’m not arguing with you, I’m pointing out you seem boring. I don’t care if a description of a monster in a world makes sense in compendium the poster got this description from.

I actually can’t imagine being so obtuse that you’re looking at the description of a monster for internal consistency to be a snob about it.

Yum-yucking sci-fi, gatekeeping snob. It sounds boring to be you. But at least other sci-fi snobs can jump on you like drowning rats.

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.

That’s some rent free shit between the chronically online. I fucking love it.

That’s a very star wars, I love it. The galaxy is a small world vibe.

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.

A person who posted after you is using 14B and got the correct answer.

Also true.

That’s true, especially right now. His polling numbers are like post covid low right now.

So breaking down 2024 (I’m not gonna use exact numbers for brevity, but the percentages are), let’s call the population of the US around 340 million. Like 73% of the people who can vote were registered to vote in that election, 170+ million people. Only 65% of eligible voters either voted or had their votes counted (there was verifiable voter suppression and vote destruction, in addition to the billionaire doing illegal voter manipulation), around 150+ million.

Kamala got just over 48% of of those votes 75+ million, Trump got just under 50% with 77+ million. So at the end of the day Trump won with 31% of the total number of eligible voters and Kamala lost with 30%.

So yeah in the grand scheme of things not even close to a majority of people and only a very small plurality of voters got Trump in office the second time. It’s also useful to note turnout in 2020 and 2024 were record high percentages of eligible voters voting (the former beating 1908, and the latter tied 1968).

His name was on the checks that went out. It created a positive association that people didn’t forget, but they did their best to shove everything that happened for the 2-3 years it was really really bad down the memory hole. Just to maintain their sanity.
