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.

What? Trump has the second and fourth most votes in history in the US, plenty of people voted for him. That’s literally the problem, that 77 million people could sign up up vote for this guy post covid fuck up.

He didn’t stumble on a bug, he landed in their backend home surveillance architecture. This wasn’t a mistake, this was a whistle being blown and the article missed it.

That’s funny, you are like opposite me.

There are a lot of exceptions, Morrells are actually one of the few mushrooms that can kill you or make you very ill if you don’t cook them long enough, so I wouldn’t even call them exceptions. They still require knowledge and prep. That includes chicken of the woods which can be dangerous depending on which tree it’s growing on.

Oyster mushrooms on the west coast of the US are a fair bet, someone in this same thread made a good list, but it’s regional. A high percentage of the poisonings in California (Australia too as I understand it) used to be SE Asians who mistook them for paddy-straw mushrooms. A lot of these articles are saying that it’s more wide spread this time because of “naive” people harvesting. I hope it’s not like food insecure people trying to fill caloric gaps…

There are plenty of amateurs who rise to the ranks of expert, but the consequences of error can be very high. I recommend anyone who wants to harvest to learn to spore print as part of identification. Harvesting any wild edibles requires a lot of research, mushrooms topping that list by a fair margin.

I was just memeing on idubbz, Chrischan is in the game, fucking oedipal rapist Chrischan.

Ugh I know, imagine playing a game and hearing idubbz, the n-word/f-slur guy. Fucking gross.

Soooo… just every McDonald’s all the time then.

Lmao fair!

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.
