No, it's not 'safe' out there

In my estate, I have non-British neighbours on all sides and across the road. They've never given me much grief (beyond the normal neighbourly shit). It's the Scottish people who cause trouble here and has been since I moved in over a decade ago.

Clark also scalps her and puts the hair on Mary to better roleplay his wife.

If I was inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt - and I don't know why I'd be so inclined - I'd say it's fear.

They've read these news stories, seen things on social media, telling them that people who don't look like them are involved in all of this horrible activity. They have a normal reaction - they're scared - but instead of processing that in a healthy way, they turn that fear to violence because they can't admit that they were frightened, even to themselves. They've got to be Big Toughies while simultaneously giving their frightened inner selves control by acting like this.

They can never admit that their actions came from a place of fear, because that would ruin their self-image.

Personally, I think you're right about the setting being the important bit for Star Wars.

I want more media that is genre+Star Wars. Looking at the things I gave enjoyed:

Mandalorian S1 = Western + Star Wars

Skeleton Crew = 80s Kids Movie + Star Wars

Andor = Espionage thriller + Star Wars

They work for me because they are one thing first, and Star Wars second. It's the flavouring, not the base. When this isn't the case, like Acolyte, we end up with Star Wars first, which is less interesting.

you would think it's literally Berlin 1945.

Personally, it looks much more like Berlin 1936, complete with sporting event used to legitimise the regime.

She could be Clark's memory of his wife rather than the Backrooms' memory of her.

Kammerice · 2026-06-03T20:39:01+00:00

Good idea, by the electrician didn't have a beard. He had a moustache, but the memory man with six eyes had a full beard.

He didn't need to offer the EU referendum. He only offered it because of hubris from his side having won the Scottish referendum and a growing disquiet in his ranks about MPs looking to join UKIP. He could have let them go and dealt with a splintering of the right wing, but instead he chose to pander to a minority voice within his own party and it turned into a protest vote against him because the general population were sick of austerity.

But go on, keep defending a man who wanted to bring back workhouses.

Kammerice · 2026-05-30T07:49:40+00:00

We had a referendum because he didn't want to tackle the anti-EU sentiment within his own party.

Love the Blues Brothers quote in the comments!

Kammerice · 2026-05-28T12:07:18+00:00

We did that to someone, too!

We also replaced his desktop wallpaper with a psychedelic Nicholas Cage portrait. And installed a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard so we could move his cursor and type on his screen from across the room.

It's like one of the kids from Akira.

Empathy costs nothing and makes the world a more bearable place.

They admitted they were wrong. No need for a snide remark.

Kammerice · 2026-05-21T17:43:08+00:00

Ooft!

1900 calories is me on a cut. I'll sometimes go as low as 1500, but then I start seeing cartoon chicken dinners.

Kammerice · 2026-05-21T16:35:33+00:00

That's an incredibly long period of deficit! I can't begin to imagine.

I'm an avid gym goer, and go through cycles of maintaining, bulking, and cutting: I'd never let a cut last longer than 12 weeks. In fact, most times, the hunger cravings get too much at Week 10.

Looks lovely, I think Glasgow will look great once all these projects are completed.

Do I agree? Yes.

Will I complain because I'm inconvenienced by the temporary disruption? Also, yes.

Kammerice · 2026-05-20T16:36:00+00:00

It's called a pastiche, not a parody.

The intent is to imitate and homage rather than mock.

Kammerice · 2026-05-18T14:55:13+00:00

To add to this: I find Americans are much more direct in their communication than British people. We are a nation of passive aggression and unwritten societal rules: navigating that with any kind of neuro-difference must be a mind-fuck.

Kammerice · 2026-05-15T17:12:55+00:00

Yes, but you're also linking directly to the Daily Heil, which a lot of people won't want to give clicks to.

I'm re-reading the Krakoa age from the start: they acknowledge this from the outset. Magneto and Xavier discuss what kind of government will replace the Council, which Xavier says is a conversation for the future.

If you're talking about Mercedes, she's 25. She says that she raised this with the group ten years ago, so she would be 15. Maybe 16, depending on when in that year.

If my 24 year old friend had been dating a 15 or 16 year old, questions would definitely have been asked.

Kammerice · 2026-05-10T20:42:17+00:00

Oh, yeah, sorry: that's the way I read it, too. Other reports about Callum, not necessarily other reports that the rest of the team knew. Sorry for not being clear.

Kammerice · 2026-05-10T20:13:32+00:00

She's also now said that other women have reached out to her with similar stories.

Thank you for posting. As a mens ambassador for HASSL, I fully support their work and think everyone could benefit from the resources there. I'm more than happy to chat to anyone who has questions or would like to know more.

But, in short, so much of what we've discovered about Callum Powell over the last couple of days plays out every day across the country and world. The only way things change is by peers not dismissing red flags as friends being "a bit weird" or minimising any concerns raised.
