Which is kind of a weird requirement when you just made the universe from scratch last week. Like why do we need crafting materials now?

Dear god somebody stop them before they get to lopunny

Oh, i see. Still interesting, thanks for the info

Anyone know if loops has a good app out, or if there’s one in the works thats coming out soon?

In her book “How to talk to anyone” Leil Lowndes suggests that when speaking with women it’s best to maintain constant, unbroken eye contact to signal attention and interest. She goes on to note that even when engaged in conversation with multiple people one should act as if their eyes are constantly glued to the woman, only briefly looking away when another person is speaking and behaving as if your eyes are irresistibly drawn back to the woman of interest. She believes this formula is best in male to female conversations and female to female conversation.

By contrast, she notes that when engaged in a male to male conversation, one should regularly break eyecontact as not to be perceived as a threat. However, one should still act as if your eyes are being irresistibly drawn back to theirs.

… I have no idea what Lowndes’s qualifications are and frankly this sounds like a formula written by an alien trying to understand humans but hey maybe theres some merrit to it idk

Tbh at some point GW kinda forgot that the imperium was supposed to be satire.

Very well said, did you ever read the sort-of-prequel portrait of the artist as a young man?

The thing i always think about is that qoute from Virginia Wolfe where she likens the writing to a schoolboy doing stunts for the sake of getting attention. I remember thinking that was exactly how it felt while I was reading Ulysses, it felt like a highschool creative writer mashing things together without considering whether it was actually good or not.

However im not going to sit here and pretend im an objective critic. The book is obviously famous and important for a reason. I’m interested to know how it saved your life, if you feel like sharing

You know how when you’re studying literature you’re generally supposed to assume that everything is intenional and there’s nothing just thrown in for no reason … Well when you read Joyce, it’s really really hard not to feel like he’s just doing things for the sake of being pretentious and obtuse.

Boy that would seriously mess with the narrative of this comment section if that were the case

Edit: oh no

The amount of knee jerk rage I’ve seen over paint whenever one of these incidents happens. Its paint. It comes off. Its an extremely effective strategy to get attention while causing little to no damage.

Meh, personally I’d still take the movie written by a human over the corperate ai, but i can see where you’re coming from. I dont exactly think theres a right answer when it comes to this particular debate

That was something that really baffled me about the disney acquisition. They spent 4 billion on the property but never thought to have someone explain to them what actually made it profitable. It was the universe that people latched onto, thats what sold the merchandise and the novels and spin offs. Yet the new films seemed almost spitefully bent on ignoring all that

Ok I get that, but i might argue that at least the prequel writing has heart, and a purpose for the story. Do you genuinely believe the disney executive level writing in the sequels is better?

Now there’s a hot take. Can i get your reasoning?

Thats interesting, I was always under the impression that the animated series came out as a response to changing opinions about the prequels, not the other way around. But the more I think about it maybe the timeline doesn’t work out so you’re probably right

True, i think superheroes probably fill that niche in cultural zeitgeist for kids growing up nowadays. So i wonder if we’ll see a similar phenomenon happen with something like Batman vs Superman or some other superhero property that was critically panned

I’ve been wondering about this for a while. Silly as the prequels were, they were still the result of one person’s vision and tried to tell a story. The new ones are neither, theyre corperate and disconnected from each other. So will they be met with the same nostalgia and re-examination that the prequels got? I really don’t know

Haha thats actually a solid idea. I’d drink astronaut water in a heartbeat.

I think your right the honesty is refreshing but when it comes to marketing i think reclaimed water is just about the last place you want that kind of honesty

Listen imma level with you bro, if they are genuinely calling it “toilet to tap”, and you dont get why people might find that a little off-putting, then i dont think this thread has anything for you.
