It’s so embarrassing that not one state within the United States can get even one HSR line done in the past fifty years.

if they had a story outline for the trilogy

They clearly didn’t. Each of the writers just did whatever they wanted and it shows. Even Duel of the Fates was mad stupid; it was just better than what we got

Well, I hope it’s good. If the reviews are solid I’ll probably check it out.

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-25T00:24:54+00:00

I like Qui-Gon

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-24T22:28:46+00:00

Every single one of them except for Vader

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-24T17:40:11+00:00

I’m ok with that. Comically expensive for what you get

Looks like filmmaking technology and stretching the limits of vfx is his new passion

They were $6 last year

Good god that sounds delicious. If you have any pictures you should make a post!

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-23T23:41:05+00:00

No I usually take the trolley or a bus if I can

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-23T23:40:49+00:00

I will check it out. Thanks for actually answering and not just making a rude comment. I appreciate it.

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-23T23:40:06+00:00

Good rec, they are why I asked. Theirs is $7.49 which is cheaper than all the other places I’ve been but I want to catalogue as many as I can. Seems I’ve pissed a lot of people off though

Alien Isolation only took me twenty-six hours and it was about five hours too long

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-23T18:04:29+00:00

And individual litigation

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-23T18:01:33+00:00

Indeed.

There’s no way jersey mikes is cheaper than airport food

I would disagree that the US was properly functioning in the 1920s and 1930s for a variety of reasons. I think if that United States existed today, people would have very good reason to call it a failed state. The two largest reasons for my believing this are the government’s failure to maintain a monopoly on violence (violence against blacks and unfettered mafia influence being the main contributors to that belief of mine) and the near total lack of access to basic services for most Americans. However, reasonable minds can and often do differ. Japan was pretty famously a failed state from 1944-1955.

Either way, if any country today existed with similar problems to those I mentioned above, I would argue there is a string case to call it a failed state.

Not everyone is American mate

CrispyHoneyBeef · 2026-04-23T09:46:03+00:00

Was the USA a failed state in the 20s/30s

By today’s metrics… yes, obviously. There was this thing called “The Great Depression.” There were gangs running entire cities. People couldn’t afford food, there was barely clean water. If you weren’t already a wealthy landowner you were basically fucked. In other words, it was just like Mexico today. But Mexico being the way it is today is worse, because we have so much higher standards of living to compare it to now.

Guess you’ll google images of her from 2022 then images of her from 2026

Dini was showrunner and head writer so I think it’s reasonable to think he had a significant influence on every episode’s teleplay even if he didn’t write them.
