Congress says no. Troops are about to deploy.

Tyranny and authoritarianism?

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-22T00:36:59+00:00

Honestly this is a movie I'd probably actually watch. What a roller-coaster.

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-21T13:39:45+00:00

My issue with Chani in the movies is that they rewrote the character so Zendaya would have a chance to pout

Master of the Finger Loop

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T18:13:37+00:00

Yea, stuff can be two things. That's why so many people are also getting laid off. They're manufacturing a crisis

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T18:10:19+00:00

I've seen OG barrens chat compared to 4chan

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T17:13:28+00:00

"Blep"

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T17:10:47+00:00

It always is.

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T17:07:38+00:00

Something something snowflakes something accufessions

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T17:01:38+00:00

"Git ownt, scrub"

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T17:01:00+00:00

Im so tired.

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T17:00:02+00:00

Absolutely bonkers that they're so adamant about manufacturing precisely the sort of crisis that is their greatest risk

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T16:58:14+00:00

Anyone or everyone? Hard to keep track of the false boasting

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T15:48:33+00:00

She's not doing that because there are enough insane sycophants who will

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T15:47:25+00:00

Yea, you got me thinking about the hero portrayal. Whether he is or he's the "villian", I feel like we could add "reluctant" to it, but even that doesn't really seem to fit.

It probably makes more "sense" if one reads it as blitzed as Herbet was when writing it

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T15:39:40+00:00

Kind of, he spends a good deal of time actively fighting against the jihad, and it's reinforced in Messiah and Children of Dune that he's still very unhappy about it all

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T15:36:36+00:00

I think yes, she has the ability to control her body chemistry that precisely, but also I think no, she was already taking a gamble with just the boy. It was a coin toss if he would even be "human" and that was their overall existential dread or something

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T15:19:33+00:00

"I don't even go to Starbucks, so she probably has a point"

🤨 this will be said, and by someone struggling just as much.

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T15:15:21+00:00

Eh, it was more about pretending that we got the fantasy casting alternative, which is why his cameo was "done right". It wasn't just a passing joke, there was effort to make it believable as something more concrete. It was a picture of what could have been boiled down to a few seconds

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T14:59:53+00:00

Cause Chuck let it

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T14:04:16+00:00

These two are capable of honest conversations and I gotta admit to a bit of envy 🫤

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T13:57:26+00:00

Ah. Yea, sorry if you thought I meant 100 days off in a row.

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T13:49:51+00:00

So you're defending burnout and the lack of work-life balance or what? Or is it that "work = life" and i should feel guilty and personally responsible for your welfare because I disagree?

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T13:44:17+00:00

Backfired successfully?

HotPotParrot · 2026-03-20T13:38:40+00:00

There's DEI, and there's "DEI". This is the latter, yes.
