Was there ever a big explaination as to why he changed from Puff Daddy? Still kinda cringe in today’s terms but never as cringe as P. Diddy.

Edit: for the record, I just tried Googling it and was instantly hit with some chat gpt ass article. Specifically looking for explaination from someone who heard about it at the time or is a lore enthusiast.

See my other response to the other reply for more but yeah, I can see that. The general mythology behind how Star Wars was made is a series of ‘too good to be true’ coincidences and interruptions.

Yeah I’m not surprised. I’m always, like, in a state of suspension of disbelief when it comes to hearing about Lucas insane conceptualizations, like hearing he suggested names like ‘Darth insaneous’ or ‘Darth icky’ at points. When I heard the Vader/Father explaination I was like “this is both on the nose enough and also too cleaver to be true”

I’m gonna be that guy and point out that Vader means father in dutch. His name was always a spoiler. I’m trying to think of how you would inMaul someone but all I can think is ‘I’m gonna inmaul you mom later’

Yeah I guess there’s no accounting for the power of neophobia.

Yeah I was thinking about that. Like, these companies probably have some number of government contracts and those contracts give latitude to make some interesting demands.

I don’t actually know but I imagine it’s all voluntary. It seems like kind of an endless tail chase to constantly limit anything that could feasible be used to commit a crime. Actual counterfeiting with any success requires some pretty specialized shit. Honestly if this printer could be configured to meet those specifics them more power to them. End of the day though I wouldn’t imagine this being the gateway to massive expansions in the counterfeit market.

If I was capable of runner’s high I would! I just don’t get physical exertion endorphins like some people get, it seems.I just grow in a different way instead…

Right. R’s have the advantage of appealing to the people who are so dedicated to authority that they can just lie to their face and the best response is ‘why would he lie? He’s wearing a suit!’

Dem’s used to have that advantage in the 90’s but didn’t have the stomach for real work, which ultimately is how they bled their own weakness into the open air to target and it ended up being genocide of the Gazans that laid it out for all to see

No I fully agree. I just got into a real shitfight with the ‘leftists’ who take it to the next step and just promote voter suppression, which is not the answer.

The DNC strategists, advisors, AIPAC-backed, ‘let them hang themselves so we can just wait to win’, all of them are culpable. We need to bring back defenestration for a lot of them. The fact that they spent all of their money in the PRIMARIES shows just how terrified they are of work and how effective and realistic a threat the populist, socialist left actually are.

He’s 6’5" and is an avid… well he’s not a bodybuilder and he’s not an athlete in the sense that he does -a- sport seriously, but he stays fit. It’s a grwat example of what anyone could achieve if you actually dedicated the time to it in parallel with spending 8+ hours a day at a deak playing games and watching internet videos, news and otherwise.

I’d only alter this saying “the GOP’s” mishaps because never forget that they facilitated this absolute clownshow shitatorship.

It’s a distraction, like literally everything else. He represents a vocal fraction of functional leftists who are successfully infiltrating the DNC so everyone’s pissed because the people he promotes are generally more policy focused and actually grass roots politicians who appear, for the time being, to actually be dedicated to some kind of reform and actually have the momentum to achieve it in a reasonable timeframe.

So nowthe GOP is pissed because they aren’t the only populists, the DNC is pissed because they might actually have to put in effort to get any electoral power, and the leftists are pissed because literally nothing can make them happy, and at the cemter of it all is a succeasful, rich, 6’5" himbo who streams 8 hours a day and has consistent messaging that might actually end up meaning something long term. Real easy target.

You know I want to say I earnestly want to give them the benefit of a doubt and that they need it pointed out that they’re just saying shit and not even realizing what they’re signing up for.

But also, like, I see a target I shoot at it. Maybe I’m not much better.

I like how you missed the point entirely. Log off and call your Mom.

You know that openly saying you want to be on a misandry list is a bad thing, right?

Even if you are trying to make an overly moralizing statement about overcorrection and overreaction, you’re still a giant asshole, you know that, right?

Edit just to make sure I cover the bases but what I’m trying to say is you would be way more well off not commenting, I just need you to know that was always an option.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s some weird projection happening here because there is no way whatsoever that has anything to do with unattractive entitled people. Words mean things, and you need to review what it is you’re trying to cpmmunicate here.

I have a base, flat amount of respect for anyone who is willing to speak out and call nazis nazis. Right now there’s a literal dark money fountain available to people who want to defend Israel, for instance, and anyone who isn’t taking that and still willing to ragebait probably isn’t 100% terrible. And real talk hatesubs are not real. That’s some wild conspiracy stuff. If they are, then fuck it, get that bag. Flat respect who can get people to pay to say how much they hate your titties on a platform where you’ll be instantly squuelched and still take your money.

I’m just here promoting real, sane, criticism.

What does this even mean?

I mean I’m not disagreeing. If anything I hate Reddit more for being a crushing echo chamber that takes people who might have a good thing going and turning them into steralized, nonfunctional content monsters.

I do think it’s a time will tell kind of thing. Even SrGrapho just sort of fell into a hole where he was doing OC nudes and has yet to make a decent meme format in a decade.

Pizzacake could be better but I don’t mind that she’s taking on nazi’s and right wing weirdos who can’t help but lose their shit over titties and even the gentlest of criticisms. And refer to the first paragraph but there isn’t a single reddit community I would take the word of at face value.
