  • Book of Boba Fett would have been a decent Star Wars story if it was the Book of Bib Fortuna seizing power.

    Boba Fett was saved by Tuscans, but spends the whole show talking about protecting “his people”, the city folk.

    It’s like if James Bond was left for dead and rescued by Navajo, then became sheriff of Albequerque and needed to keep the streets clean for the saloon and “his people”.

    It’s not the character we know, and it doesn’t even make sense as a character arc!











  • And that’s exactly why we should be talking about banning HFCS content.

    You know chlorine gas is bad, and that’s just a risk you think people should be allowed to take. But you clearly don’t fully understand just what chlorine gas is or what it does to your body. And that notion that a the ‘risk’ part of ‘health risk’ diminishes its severity is like believing the ‘thoery’ part of gravitational theory means we shouldn’t take that seriously.

    Its important to remember that rich assholes buying expensive things is not a reason to hate them: that’s envy. Rich assholes spending their money on expensive luxuries fund the luxury economy, which finds its way to the regular economy. That’s how economies work, the money moves. The spending isn’t the issue. It’s the hoarding. You can’t spend a trillion dollars. You can’t spend a billion dollars. But you can keep it out of the economy. That’s what keeps everyone else down.

    It’s like if the top 70% of the ocean was just fucking cement.
