I clocked over 400 hours on Odyssey before I started over.

Thank you. Hard to believe 1:6 was once half that price.

I didn’t realize this was 1:12. My BOTP display centers on my chogokin Godphoenix and I’ve always just used Bandai gashapon for the team. 1:6 would be too big, but this might do. Any North American pre-order sites?

He told me he’d drive me to Canada himself if there were ever another draft. His father was at Normandy. Utah Beach. Army medic. Five tours in Europe. Saw a liberated concentration camp. So, the ethic was strong growing up, but when he got a low draft number, he enlisted as a Marine. It was two...

Raised by a Marine who strongly discouraged service. Vietnam will do that.

It’s because the solution is to return to market based medicine, and no one has that kind of spine. Or brain. Like WB.

I think his fixation with sacrifice undermines any value the rest of his work may or may not hold.

After Odyssey, they should be ashamed.

But if someone knows, please don’t make me read this whole thread to find out.

(Teachable moment fresh in my mind…) My god this is awful. Book of Boba Fett awful? Don’t know yet. (I’ve been a patient fan through the years. Defended the prequels. Defended the sequels. Mando was mostly great.) I can’t do this. I will keep watching, just because I can’t give up on it yet...

I think they should just reissue Hoth Leia when they announce Han in 2030.

Gen X turned out alright because they had that older generation riding our *****. Our grandparents fought WWII. Those guys are gone now.

In certain senses, things have never been better. As I understand it, that was also said of the first decade of the 20th century. The optimism of that era is legendary. Then, we got Wilson and WWI.

Saying that vapid and shallow have not come to dominate the culture because they’ve always done so is not a function of quantity. Either it’s always been this bad, or it hasn’t. That some people will be vapid and shallow in any given era is a given. Being able to influence an era to the degree...

How could it always be this way, and be getting worse?

It’s like a spider. If you let get to you, the only solution is to kill it with fire. I’m learning to ignore it. Mostly.

I marvel at Cassandra Petersen. What a doll.

Don’t mistake effects for causes. The optimism and creativity of American culture has been under attack from left and right for decades. One pushing socialism, the other pushing religion, and both essentially vehicles for the philosophy that ruined Europe at the beginning of the 20th century...

That’s why I left.
