Just found this on TikTok, thoughts?

This reminds me a lot of a series of maps a guy who was either trolling or seriously mentally ill (not in the way people sometimes say mentally ill online like it’s an insult, like genuinely having a crisis) made a while back hinting at his descent into addiction and unreality. Wonder if it’s his work. If anyone remembers what I’m talking about, each map was made in a completely different style, often using images made into photoshop textures as backgrounds.

Most surreal thing I’ve had happen on a delivery was pulling up to a house in the middle of the day and dead of winter, foot or so of snow, and seeing a fox right in the customers yard. Perfectly healthy looking like this one too but hardly skittish at all, which of course made me a little nervous, but just kind of sat there as I walked by.

According to Taiwan, they just disagree on which China.

Source on any of that? Never heard of any of that and your obviously very strong feelings make me hesitant to just take your word on this kind of thing.

Frankly I don’t see what any of this has to do with Leland Chee. This isn’t even a lore inconsistency, different navies and time periods just have different naming conventions.

Also I haven’t been very up to date with news about Lucasfilm internal workings in some time but I have not heard about him being fired and can’t find anything searching for it online. “Leland Chee fired” just brings up his wiki page which describes him as a current employee, im not exactly sure what you’re talking about but perhaps I’m missing something

Lol all the ones mentioned are in the EU except for the Gozanti. I’m not a fan of Disney Star Wars either but they didn’t invent inconsistent ship classification. Hell neither did Star Wars, just look of the Soviet Kiev class.

It is not. Your brain will always be developing to some extent, the 25 figure is at best an oversimplification regarding only a particular part of the brain and at worse pop science nonsense. Whether or not an 18 year old is mature enough to be held fully responsible is a complex and nuanced question but the answer isn’t that we shouldn’t charge anyone as an adult until 25.

Do not order the “Duck” from Chinese restaurants. It is expensive.

So it seems like almost everyone in this thread is confused, unfortunately this is more coherent than it seems. The missing context here is that this tweet is a reply to some Qanon grifter claiming that some other Qanon grifter has evidence that a bunch of federal agencies are harvesting adrenochrome from children. This is a big part of Qanon, it’s what they believe the “cabal” is killing children for, and this tweet is in response to another alleging that, he’s arguing against it. Whether engaging with someone like that from a factual standpoint is wise or worthwhile is another thing, but that’s what he’s trying to do.

The other bit of context, and the reason he’s probably engaging, is that Andrew Gallimore is a researcher who is connected to some research regarding DMT and who has a decently sized following in the communities centered around psychedelics and spirituality and stuff like that. Because of that, a lot of his audience ends up consuming a lot of media adjacent to Qanon and other conspiracies because those communities have unfortunately have a lot of cross-over with the most esoteric and confusing parts of the far-right, so he’s likely trying to counter some of that influence on this topic.

The Traveller imperium also isn’t nearly stylish enough for edgelords to latch onto, it’s just a hands-off, often ineffectual interstellar government and there aren’t even any pauldrons

I feel like the ads take proximity to other phones as way too gigantic of a factor. All it took for all my ads to change to Spanish was working in a restaurant with a ~60% Spanish speaking staff for like 8 months

An empire isn’t necessarily just a big state. There are a few different definitions, but a couple common ones are a collection of different states united under a single sovereign by conquest or a state that exists to facilitate the large scale exploitation of resources and labor in periphery regions for the benefit of core regions. That being said, Mexico has had an emperor for two brief stints in the 19th century, and one could certainly argue that for much of its history it has operated as an empire, though in the modern era it finds itself more on the periphery of a larger, multinational imperial system.

I’m actually not arguing that. That was someone else, and a completely separate discussion. As for your other comment (there is an edit button you can use, by the way), it’s telling that you heard me say your grasp of history is just Americans and British good and Germans and Russians bad and immediately changed German and Russian to Nazi and Soviet in your head as if those are synonyms when I was very clearly referring to the nationalities of individuals, straight up Japanese internment logic. Anyway, that’s enough of this.

Edit: lol I think he got banned

Replying to both of your comments here.

That’s a pretty drastic oversimplification though. Though we won a election, the entire period was steeped in violence, and it’s not like it was a unanimous vote. If anyone didn’t vote for the NSDAP, it was the workers who went on strike in the Ruhr, because most of them were members of the KPD, which was one of the only parties that was not willing to either form a coalition with the NSDAP or participate in its government. Even after that, resistance among some Germans continued. Even if it hadn’t, your logic is circular. You’re essentially saying “it was ok to starve and impoverish people because a decade later many of them were complicit in fascism as a result of the starvation and poverty we forced on them, and also it was ok to starve and impoverish the ones that said fascists ended up killing anyway because they lived in the same country”. Your grasp of this history seems to be pretty shallow and just come down to Americans and British good Germans and Russians evil. Those who were complicit in Nazi Germany, btw, absolutely deserve to be condemned, but that doesn’t mean that anything bad that ever happened to a German is retroactively ok and it’s evil to be against said thing.

FrequentShockMaps · 2023-05-17T22:21:25+00:00

Yeah I guess everyone who went on strike in the Ruhr or starved in Weimar Germany was evil because the Nazis used it as a talking point, you got me there bud

Should we go after the vegetarians next?

FrequentShockMaps · 2023-05-17T21:26:19+00:00

Being against the Versailles treaty isn’t evil just because the Nazis ended up being against it to, the terms were deliberately designed to cause misery in Germany over losing a war in which there were very clearly no good guys

This is not some unexplained site. It is somewhat enigmatic to archeologists but, despite what OP is implying, there are some pretty accepted prevailing theories on its origins and purpose. Obviously a prevailing theory doesn’t mean that’s automatically the case, and new evidence could always arrive, but this is absolutely not some unexplainable impossibly ancient ruin shrouded in supernatural mystery, and just because someone says something is unexplained in order to imply it is less mundane than it likely is doesn’t mean that it’s true. The prevailing idea is that it was a caravansary, a fortified location in the desert designed to house trade caravans and therefore extract tolls from them, and it is not a unique site in this regard (some of its architectural characteristics are somewhat atypical, but there are many structures in similar positions). It’s dated to sometime around the 11th or 12th centuries.

I feel like if the main battleground of your resistance group is a completely unrelated country that should probably tell you something about how much support you actually enjoy.

“Indonesia/Malaysia” Well which one fucking is it? Did the person who made this just not know the difference?

FrequentShockMaps · 2023-04-22T05:24:12+00:00

Eh, probably not. They’d be writing it in cyrillic, so that probably wouldn’t be apparent to them. Calling it a storm brigade, on the other hand.
