  1. Agreed on the comments about the fleshing out of the Tusken raiders. I'm pretty far behind on the "Clone Wars" animated series, but it seems Filoni definitely enjoys adding depth to lots of characters and civilizations I would have previously (only having watched the movies) considered cast offs. Enjoying the series more than I thought I would.
  2. Lol. I've been enjoying some stuff from this site: https://www.angrymetalguy.com/angrymetalguy-coms-aggregated-top-10-of-2021/ I was reading a bunch of their individual lists and noticed Archspire showing up a lot. When they did the aggregated version it wound up number one.
  3. As many have said, it seems social media allowed the crazy to breed more crazy. Crazy by itself in rural America was isolated to pockets. Then they got online. And instead of using the internet to learn they used it to reinforce. And the addictive qualities of social media causes them to want likes. I'm not immune. I enjoy it when someone 'likes' one of my posts here. It is a form of validation. I make sure to 'validate' others. But while we have our crazies here, I don't view it as intense and full of stupid as the twitterverse an facebook. Lately I have noticed that the hermancainawards and others tend to also have a lot of religious fundamentalism in their memes. Lots of 'prayer warrior' requests. I don't mean to offend the religious, but I do think quite often the belief in God holds us all back. I know there are very intelligent Christians posting here who I often agree with outside of the topic of religion. It seems though that the Venn diagram of vocal anti-vaxxer and whacked evangelicals overlaps pretty often. I have a sister who belongs in that diagram. The entire family thinks she got Covid a while back, but of course she wouldn't test. Roulette wheel seems to have worked out in her favor. This time. But the toxicity of evangelicals and social media honestly to me can't be overstated. I don't know what you do about it, but I know this problem doesn't go away, even if we manage as a race to overcome Covid.
  4. A WWI themed black metal band. Kind of growing on me a bit.
  5. Going backwards a bit so I don't repost too much, lol. Their album made a lot of top 10 for 2021 lists. I gave it a listen, and the muscianship is top notch. But somehow the vocals always trying to go along with the drums (seemingly) somewhat bothers me. Not downing it. The drums/bass alone make it worth a few listens for sure.
  6. wow. I try to stay out of most of this now a days. but coming to a fairground near me: https://centraloregondaily.com/michael-flynn-roger-stone-to-headline-reawaken-america-tour-stop-in-rdm/

  8. I'm very sorry to read that.
  9. A damn sobering read. https://old.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/rvl0qy/a_nurse_relates_how_traumatic_it_is_to_take_care/ No FAFO. Just sad, really.
  10. Can we just suspend all of Twitter?
  11. I'm not sure I'll watch this thing. I don't necessarily need to start the year with more things to get sad and angry about.
  12. Brought this to mind
  13. Nothingberder*
  14. hmmm https://calgaryherald.com/news/world/prince-andrew-makes-unprecedented-request-for-all-witness-testimony-in-sex-abuse-case-to-be-kept-secret/wcm/6c8e61d4-241e-40e0-851c-75562564fcc8?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1640839645
  15. Counts shooting through the roof where I'm at, which seems to match the rest of the country. However, the hospitalized locally are still 96% unvaccinated.
  16. Its the same w/all these kind of things. Nobody talks about the Panama Papers. In a few years most won't talk about this.
  17. So she’s guilty of trafficking. How about the folks to whom she was delivering the children?
  18. https://old.reddit.com/r/iamatotalpieceofshit/comments/rraxoa/covid_positive_woman_attends_antivaccine_rally_in/
  19. Normally I would keep this in the Mariners thread. But what the hey. From Kyle Seager's wife:
  20. This one has made me sadder than many celebrity deaths. I think because the news took me back to when I really, really enjoyed watching football the most. He and Pat S made the game so much fun. And these seemed like the years when I watched football with many friends. Friends I have lost touch with over the decades. Those were great times and Madden was a great part of those times. RIP.

  22. Reddit comment I saw:
  23. So, the CDC went from 10 days of isolation for the Covid positive to now 5 days of isolation.
  24. Haven’t watched the clip. I did read a sobering story a week or two ago about the Covid orphans. Devastating.
