Counter argument- “half of all life removed at random” isn’t “half of all life planet to planet”. Maybe all our flora survived and another lost the balance. You could theoretically have a planet that lost absolutely nothing but several others were wiped out entirely to balance that.

Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas II: Home for the Holidays

It’s not like he’s do anything better, or anything other than sequels these days.

If you like this design, check out the designs by their last partner. Helped their multibillion dollar corporation make record profits! And in the end, isn’t that what it’s all about? Blindly supporting which ever titan of capitalism panders to your worldview, as if wearing over-priced shoes constructed with third world sweatshop labor is Marxist because the designer posed for his profile pic in a CCCP shirt?

Llms can’t even do math.

Neither can a substantial amount of high school graduates in the US. Corporate is just hedging their bets that AI does slightly closer to accurate math and that meat machines are cheaper for physical labor than having to build robots. Besides, math is unimportant to capitalism. A company that loses billions a year is still worth investing trillions in.

50yrs later and still went out winning her game of thrones on her own terms.

I don’t recall any smoking. Not nearly as crazy violent as 300 (are we fighting, fucking, or both) and not nearly as crazy ex-gf who spent the last few hundred years plotting her revenge as she was in Dark Shadows. I’d put it squarely in an average outing with Eva- capable woman stuck in a period/system that doesn’t actually appreciate her capability even if it can’t deny it, she’s aware she’s smart and attractive and uses that to her advantage as she can, but she’s also more broken inside than she lets on.

This has made me realize it would be hilarious to watch her invert her typical characters and be the small town girl who moved the the big city where she got overworked and broken hearted only to come home for a Hallmark Christmas and find she always had what she needed waiting for her in a flannel clad handyman with a beat-up pick-up truck and slice of pie at the diner. The twist ending is that she’s actually nuts and this was all a ruse to burn her town to the ground.

A two-part French remake of The Three Musketeers that came out a couple of years ago. Never got a wide release in the States but if you’re a fan of the story and period pieces it’s one of the best interpretations IMO.

Don’t forget the propensity for violence before/during/after said sexual misadventures and doing it all while goth coded. She’s made of a career of characters you can “fix” but also want to ruin your life.

Rob Zombie’s Halloween. Instead of grizzled badass he’s the kindly janitor that still gets brutally murdered by Michael. He’s still playing a version of Danny Trejo, the director just reframed how the audience viewed him.

You’d need a good investigation into the nature/nurture situation of adopted children. I grew up in an abusive adopted home and only discovered my biological family in my 30s; they were not abusive to the kids they had later in life. It’s been an interesting journey because I rejected my adoptive parents, their morality, their religion, their politics, and their worldview decades ago, but when I met my biological family it was like walking into the home I’d never known I was missing out on. We have uncanny similarities, senses of humor, social/political views, and atheism. Outwardly, you’d look at me and my family and think “became a product of the environment they were raised in”, except I got there without any of the nurture of their home.

Toppling that one isn’t going to be as rewarding as watching other monuments to dictators get torn down. Instead of the satisfactory “clunk” of a ton of metal we’ll just get the “pfft” of value brand gold spray paint and McDonald’s wrappers turned into paper mache. Probably some pilfered state secrets, nuclear codes, and love letters to Jeff in there as well.

I got “inciting violence” for Shermanposting. I disputed that I wasn’t inciting violence, more like praising the quality and effectiveness of historical work.

69 420 Hail Satin

One might say the Sith enjoy revenge….

Also reasonable. He wasn’t surprised Yoda survived and seemed to enjoy throwing the Senate at him.

If you’re attuned to the Force and are going into a situation where you expect you might get shot you’ll have elevated senses and faster reaction times. But Order 66 proved that getting shot in the back when you least expect it is an efficient way to kill a lot of Jedi. Yoda had plot armor, you would think he would have been the first one Sheev had hit so that he didn’t have a chance to feel all those deaths ripple through the Force.

I have a theory about why Vance was picked. If the Epstein files became something that actually would have resulted in Trump getting impeached, Vance is likely not in them and would be allowed to take over the presidency as puppet. As it’s become appearant that nothing is going to come of the files, or any of his actions really, Vance sorta faded away. He is also rather incompetent, a poor speaker, and doesn’t have the bombast to be Trump’s replacement so I can see why they brushed him aside.

Not all of us. We just got old and all our rage didn’t change shit. I’m sorry. Some of us are still here and trying 🤗.

But for real; I wish you didn’t have to inherit this.
