  • Look at what JD "couch fucker" Vance wrote. Regarding potentially delaying the strike. He didn't give any shits about the benefits or risks to lives, only the optics (oil prices going up), politics and his hatred for helping Europe.

    Sure, clearing the shipping lanes is "good" but it's more helpful to Europe "gross" so that's a tick "con" colum.

    Their "worst case scenarios" were all "it could look bad".

     

  • Or rather, people have the urge to survive and will do whatever it takes.

    Whether that's the hard labor of small groups subsistence level existing, for the reward of not starving and suffering the elements. Or putting sandwiches in a bag for a one room apartment and a cell phone.

  • I think they used a combo of self and indi publishing options early and then made their own label. They even released an album for free. So I assume they have low overhead, and just crank out albums.

    They also probably make a ton of money touring.

  • Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.

    (Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)

  • I mean, it's a common trope in story telling to use an outsider protagonist (from the perspective of the people in the story) to allow world building and immersion in the world/culture your story is set within.

    So, the "guy with amnesia", "orphan kid", "dude in a foreign land", "time traveler", "new person in the organization", "certain types of isekai" tropes all exist to tell a story where the reader/viewer get to learn as they go.

    Fairly popular in historical fiction, fantasy, and many other genera.

    It makes "Shogun", "The Last Samurai", "Marco Polo", "Big Trouble in Little China", and others like them more accessible to "Western" aka "white guy" demographics.

    I don't really see an issue with it, when done well.

  • I loved it as a kid (when it came out, loved the robots and the setting) but it was critically not well liked in general. So, I don't think it holds up after the nostalgia wears off.

    Though, it could easily be remade with a more coherent plot and cool special effects. Lol, could be out of the skill set of whomever they have making re-boots now, given the crap I watched on Disney+ lately.

  • You see the party that opposes MAGA does not support the 2A. So their scattered supporters that are armed are insufficiently organized.

    It's ok. They still have enough lone Luigi's if they are willing to make the sacrifice to chop a few heads off the hydra. Just need the kids to take up hobbies like 3D printing and drones, if they won't get to the gun range enough.
