  • Me, too.

    Can you imagine the creation myths that would evolve in the society that developed from the survivors? There were just a handful who had survived and experienced that descent into hell. The others had blissfully slept.

  • Pandorum is, to me, what Passengers was trying for. The claustrophobic horror of hurting through the void, other humans being both your salvation and your tormentors, all that.

    The execs ruined it to make a vehicle for some big names.

  • Me too

  • I knew one of those homeless people that somewhat chose that life in Seattle. His name was Terry. We saw him frequently and would invite him to gatherings. Always a perfect gentleman.

    He went through kind of a nasty divorce in his 40s and then about when he turned 50, his work van got stolen, which contained all of the tools of his livelihood. He told us that he decided he just wouldn’t play the game anymore. It was sort of a conscious renunciation as his only defense against total despair. This man was so sane it breaks my heart to remember him.

    He had no people. A few years later we received a call from the county coroner, my girlfriends phone number was the only contact info he had on him, he still had the paper she had written it on for him. He had died on a rail embankment he walked to get to his encampment.

    Terry always kept it real.

  • It won’t work on all people, but it will work for the right people!

    I mean, if a person has the urge to juggle in public, it means they want to be seen and maybe connect with randos over it.

    That’s wholesome AF

  • Herr Schraeder in German 101 taught me well.

    Well enough that I was able to get three or four exchanges into conversations with random Berliners before they caught on that I was making most of it up.

    In the train station, they would just walk a way, a bit disgusted.

    In the beer garden, it became instant friendship.

  • Terrible take. An inability to remember and report where your ideas came from is both a character problem and a sign of mental deficits. This guy can literally order the death of thousands of people on a whim. I would like to feel assured he is firing on all cylinders.

  • There’s got to be a name for this kind of method. I had a similar insight. I want to run for a public office as an independent and have one of my initial campaign pushes be about how I am the first openly gay person to run for that office.

    The person currently holding that office is openly gay. However, he is very comfortable and no longer makes a point about it anymore now that he has a secure seat. I have no interest in holding that office. I just want to make him talk about it.

    I as a working class, gay man. I am quite disgusted with the Palm Springs homosexuals who hide behind their wealth now that we have achieved a modicum of social acceptance. The fight is far from over for people who have to work for a living, so I thought about this as a way to just get people talking again about the needs of people who don’t fit the standard molds.

    It’s not quite rat fucking but more the political equivalent of shit posting.
