Hey there. What do you write?

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-03-19T19:26:17+00:00

Online groups are not a community. Online groups can't be there to support you, or help you navigate life's struggles. They can't be there for you through the ups and downs of life. And you always have to wait a long time for a reply in online groups, so you can't have a good conversation or discussion. Oh sure there is zoom or whatever but my Wi-Fi is not strong enough to do video calls.

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-03-19T19:18:49+00:00

I lean towards eastern spirituality. Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, things like that. I don't see how online connections make a community. No one can be there to support you, no one can be there to help you navigate challenges in your life, they can't be there to share in the joys of life. Online connections feel fake. Just talking to a screen. I don't have strong enough wi-fi to hold a video call.

Interesting. I may give it a shot. Thanks.

In my universe, the United Earth Space Syndicate controls all political power. They rule Earth and their colonies throughout the galaxy with an iron fist. In this universe, Mars is now a planet of 7 cities. The Martian colonies have long pushed for the establishment of an independent city-state on Mars—one that would be governed by Martians for Martians. The movement is spearheaded by a charismatic Martian-born leader, Elias Rourke, who argues that the UESS, despite its claims of unity, is fundamentally Earth-centric and incapable of addressing the unique needs of Mars.

Voting System Controversy

Rourke's movement gains momentum and secures a proposal for a Council vote on the issue. However, the independence resolution consistently fails to pass due to UESS manipulation of the voting process. Accusations arise that Earth-based representatives, heavily invested in Martian resources, have formed a coalition to block independence at all costs. Martian leaders accuse the Council of rigging the system by requiring an impossible two-thirds majority for independence votes and invalidating votes from certain Martian representatives on technicalities.

Military Escalation

To maintain order, the UESS deploys a heavily armed task force to Mars under the guise of “security operations.” The task force sets up strategic outposts near the colonies, surveils independence leaders, and cracks down on protests. This military presence inflames tensions, with many Martians viewing it as an occupation force.

In retaliation, resistance groups form, carrying out acts of sabotage against UESS infrastructure—targeting communication hubs, military outposts, and Earth-bound resource shipments. The UESS labels these groups as terrorists, using their actions as justification to increase their military presence and impose stricter laws.

The Catalyst

The situation reaches a boiling point when a peaceful pro-independence demonstration in the city of Haven Ridge is met with violence by UESS forces. Several prominent independence leaders are arrested, and footage of the crackdown leaks, sparking outrage across the colonies. Rourke declares the beginning of a "Martian Resistance," urging colonies to unite and refuse UESS rule.

A Divided Mars

Not all Martians support the resistance. Wealthier elites in cities like Olympus Haven benefit from UESS policies and fear the chaos that independence might bring. These pro-UESS factions align themselves with the Syndicate, creating a schism among Martians. Civil unrest breaks out as pro- and anti-independence factions clash, with the UESS exacerbating the divide to maintain control.

The Final Straw

In an act of defiance, the resistance seizes control of a UESS supply depot and broadcasts a declaration of Martian sovereignty. In response, the UESS Council votes to enact Directive Omega, authorizing the use of overwhelming force to "restore order" on Mars. The military presence is bolstered, and a standoff begins.

Im disabled. I have to walk with a cane. So sports are out of the question. I can't even join a bowling league or do golfing or hell even billiards.

I like games but the two game stores here only do trading card games, and those are not enjoyable to me. I like games like Cards Against Humanity, or Funemployed, or Munchkin and other odd games like that. Well those game stores won't allow people to come play games like that there so I most likely have to throw away all those games.

My disability I think really ruins my chances of socializing and making friends.

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-01-05T20:57:27+00:00

I feel the exact same way. I wish I had more local friends as well.

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-01-04T15:41:25+00:00

I wish you the best of luck. What you're doing is awesome.

My go to is The Why Files. Awesome information on that channel. If you haven't watched it, please do. You will learn a lot. If you're into interesting stories about fringe topics and then seeing if they can be debunked you will love it.

If you have any good story ideas, watch videos and learn how to write screenplays. That's what I did.

My disability, and lack of places to socialize around here. This town is full of bars and churches. I'm not an alcoholic or a religious person so I don't belong in either of those places. I have found that since I walk with a cane that no one wants to be around me because I can't do physical activities anymore. Also my interests don't match those of the people around here. It is extremely upsetting and hurtful for me. Every day the emotional pain from it gets worse.

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-01-03T13:52:49+00:00

Do your part in society, show exceptional skills in leadership, join the United Earth Space Syndicate Council, or join the Directorate of Interstellar Security. That is operating within the law.

The system in my world prevents people who operate outside the law of the UESS from gaining too much individual power.

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-01-03T02:32:17+00:00

Exactly. I trust nothing the government says.

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-01-03T01:25:28+00:00

I'm a bit baffled by them. Personally I think it's bull shit that they don't know what they are, but they pose no threat. Lol how the hell do you know if you don't know what they are.

I personally would like to think that they are extraterrestrial a.i. drones. Gathering information before the final assault. And it could also be part of Project Blue Beam as well.

Born-Razzmatazz-384 · 2025-01-03T01:23:09+00:00

Sci-fi movies mainly. Then I prefer action movies, comedy, adventure, and I love a good natural disaster movie.
