I find it’s important to allow yourself to be vulnerable to a moderate degree, to give people the chance to expose themselves as a giver or taker.

First they banned Uncle Roger, and now they’re coming after Chef Wang Gang :(

Not As Sexy by Jazz Emu

It’s been stuck in my head for at least a few days, maybe longer.

I read somewhere that company towns are starting to make a comeback. It’s only a matter of time until rentals are contingent upon you patronizing their brands.

Thanks for the detailed reply! It’s a lot to think about, but I’ll definitely be mulling over the options! :)

I’ve been working on a graphic novel and have toyed with the idea of creating an instance and posting it here, chapter by chapter as I finish them, but sequential gallery-like image hosting is pretty bad and clunky, iirc. Does anyone know if there are any improvements slated in that regard, or if there are any solutions or workarounds to that effect?

Creating intrigue is relatively straightforward if you don’t worry about sticking the landing.

Same, with Memmy. I’m also using Liftoff, Thunder, and Voyager, but those apps were fine. Seems to be a Memmy issue.

Ebenezer Scrooge was the true Multiverse of Madness.

Part of me thinks that Baylan Skoll still harbors a lot of sentiment towards the force and its influence. You can see it in the way that he never seems to try and control the ways events unfold. He still (for the most part) seems content to allow events to play out as they will, or as the Force directs.

He claims that he no longer abides by the Jedi teachings, and claims that he no longer has any faith, but I’ve grown up religious, and even though I no longer believe or practice, it’s still difficult to completely extricate that sort of influence from my decision-making.

I imagine that it’d be more difficult to separate for Baylan Skoll, for whom the existence of the Force is irrefutable, even if he professes to no longer believe in it, as he continues to wield it.

I really hoped that he would catch and return a few blaster bolts like Kylie Ren. That, or surround himself with a free free-floating blasters and let them fire as he continued to fight bare-handed.

What we got is still dope though. I loved how Shin’s saber beam flexed when he caught her blade to show the influence of the force push (catch?). I’m definitely watching that entire sequence again.

My time in retail and working at a liquor store have shown me that a significant portion of the general population are just straight up illiterate, mostly illiterate, or functionally illiterate. I had to stop allowing myself to get upset when customers would ask dumb questions for the sake of my own sanity.
