Jeez I'm a little worried about him to be honest. That kind of posting bombardment is a bit unusual to say the least. But on a lighter note, long time no see man! How was your Christmas? Pretty uneventful lol. Guess I haven't posted anything in a bit but I was reading comments just didn't have anything to say haha lol Oh hey, did any of you guys set a new year's resolution? I'm on a quest to get rid of my tummy tub, which is annoyingly slower than I want it to be

Christ on a cracker, I'm so furious with myself. I go out driving with my mum as I'm on the insurance for my parents car and I've been going out getting reacquainted with being behind the wheel. We go through this village and there's this ford. It's pretty deep, but fortunately, it goes okay the first time. On the way back, I go through it again, and when I'm out the engine cuts out. Had to get transported home. Right now not even the electrics are working. I don't think I've ever been this disappointed with myself... Lesson of life here is, never go through a ford, at least not one that registers more than just a puddle. Don't make my mistake.

Was it like a flooded area or something? I think here they put up signs so no one drives into it. But dang that sucks must've been quite deep for the car to stop working. Is the car a total loss now?

Yes, it was this little bridge over this small stream, but the rain lately made it swell over the bridge. They usually put up flood signs here too, but I didn't see one. I don't know if it's a write off, or something can be salvaged. One positive is the electrics seem to be working a little now. We couldn't even use the central locking, but last night it worked again, so maybe it's just a matter of letting it drain.

Yeah it was inevitable. But tbh I thought we would get here a lot quicker after we stopped playing games and Nam (who was really active) left. But that was somehow 6 years ago... So that is quite impressive. Still, I am sticking around though. But maybe we should consider finding other ways to stay in touch in case this place really dies.

I mean, we'll have been here for 8 years soon, which is way longer than I ever envisioned But like you, I'm sticking around till the wheels fall off, though I agree, having contingency plans is probably needed at this point

Well I am officially a le epic Reddit mod lol. On r/starwarsblackseries
Never really bothered with trying to be a mod before because I thought it's too much work but this sub is kinda small and the one mod it had asked if I could help and I thought why not. Unfortunately I was one of two he added and the second guy is an absolute jackass who I can't stand.... He's one of those toxic sequel fans who thinks all haters are sexist/racist manbabies and thinks things like Luke is a Mary Sue like bruh
When I found out he was joining I initially thought about declining the invite because I think it's important the mod team should be able to get along. But then I thought maybe if I come on board I can balance out his jackassery and sequel related opinions and represent the other side of the Star Wars fan spectrum... lol

2021 is most likely going to be 2020 part 2. Except without Trump lol. I think this year and next there will be heavy vaccinations but I'm not sure if that will really make everything go back normal
Also it's coming close to a year since quarantining started. Everyone said 2020 was an incredibly slow year but now it feels like it went by quick lol

This whole pandemic, or a good few economies Just take me to the parallel universe where we never got this mess...

I wrote a paper about Corona on like the 20th of January and I said I think people should be cautious. I think that was the understatement of the century.

If you ever want any one of us to read it, go ahead It's basically a space adventure heavily influenced by Star Wars because I can't help it... I call it Cosmic Safari . Not sure if I love the name though might change it to something different lol. But instead of a war as a backdrop it's more about colonization and exploration. I realized the premise is incredibly common but still I guess it's fun trying to do my own world building

What's he in trouble for? From what you're saying it's something both disturbing and kinky Different women have been exposing his extremely disturbing fetishes which seem to involve different types of physical harm. Idk if everything is real but there's screenshots of dm convos with him talking about being a cannibal and having eaten an animal heart and stuff. He also wanted one of his girls to remove her ribs so he could eat them... 💀 I thought Armie was kind of a cool guy but this sucks lol. But it's also really fascinating to me because you don't really hear about people in modern society being cannibals

I know his wife was divorcing him for being a cheating scumbag, but I guess there was more to it than I thought. Honestly, he really needs to get professional help with this... thing he has, before it becomes more than some disturbing DMs.

In fact I don't see how that is much different from eating any other part of an animal. But how do you even eat a rib? Are they even edible? I don't know who this guy is though... And unfortunately just a week ago I read a story about a cannibal in modern society... it was pretty disturbing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes

And unfortunately just a week ago I read a story about a cannibal in modern society... it was pretty disturbing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_MeiwesWell it was weird because he said he "cut the heart out of a living animal and ate it while it was still warm"... In another text he says "I am 100% a cannibal" which I actually thought was kinda hilarious. In a way a lot of his texts are really funny because it's like a guy trying to be sexy or something but it's not coming across the way he thinks... lol. As for the ribs i guess it's like how people eat pork ribs which have meat around them so it's not just the bones. But I don't think you could do that with a human without killing them... And I think I read about that guy before lol

I watched Ben Shapiro's podcast with Gina and while I think Ben is a clown, she gave some interesting insights on her situation. I guess it's hard to tell what celebrities are truly like based on their interviews I mean going back to Armie he came across super charismatic while in reality being a total psycho lol... But my impression is Gina is a genuine person. Apparently she was not politically inclined at all until recently which may factor into some of her ignorance. But honestly it seemed like she was targeted for no reason except very possibly her political beliefs. Pretty much everything she said was misinterpreted. Maybe she could've been more eloquent or even kept her mouth shut but regardless of what she said or posted, she never held any ill will or hate towards anyone.
Yet Disney/Lucasfilm totally hounded her. She was forced into a zoom call with a bunch of LGBT people, half of who were trying to cancel her, to I guess get some sensitivity training or something. She was also pressured into making statements she didn't want to because they would not have been genuine. And apparently she found out she had been fired the same way everyone else did through the news and social media which is wild. From what she says I don't think DLF's HR people really handled this well nor were they very sympathetic. Because she didn't play the game or follow the narrative, she was targeted even though people on the other side do similar stuff and don't get the same treatment.
They are completely scrubbing Cara Dune too, her toys were cancelled and her image is being erased from a lot of other stuff and I think that is extreme. First, separate the character from the actor, second what she did was not even that bad in the big picture it's not like she raped or murdered someone or anything remotely illegal.... Stuff like that is more worthy of getting dropped. But she knew what was going to happen and decided to stand up for herself and others faced with similar situations and for that I have to respect her. I think Gina is overall a good person who didn't deserve this and a I feel that a lot of factors were not very fair towards her.

I think Gina is overall a good person who didn't deserve this and a I feel that a lot of factors were not very fair towards her. This is all simply a litany of evidence in how overly politicised everything is to extreme, almost zealotry, levels. Erasing her character is just plain petty and I suspect it's in no small thanks to how Kennedy has structured LF to having a large circle of extreme left-wing people and really I think if Gina was a bit more savvy of Disney and LF's overall political stances (no matter how hypocritical they can be) she'd probably have played it a little quieter. Nevertheless, she continues to stand strong by herself and I can only respect that. I like to think this cancel happy overly political culture will eventually die out, but I think we need to shut down Facebook, Instagram and especially Twitter in order to create a culture where cooler heads prevail. I don't think this controversy ends. If anything this has all the potential to get ugly.
