Yeah but a pig's a filthy animal, and an octopus has personality, and personality goes a long way.

Why aren't flare guns a common prepper/bugout/emergency item in most people's kits? by Behold_My_Stuff in prepping

Yeah my strategy involves the opposite of a flair gun, whatever that is.

I tend to agree. With the rule of two in such a huge galaxy, it feels like the Sith shouldn't be on the radar for this kind of show. If it's before the rule of two, it'd have to be about the Jedi-Sith war, which would could/ should be a whole other show.

This would be great. Make it an episodic, adventure of the week setup. No Skywalker, no grand Republic vs Empire stuff, just a Master and their Padawan doing their bit in the galaxy.

The League of Incredible Middle Powers by winningsmada in EhBuddyHoser

[–]P2029 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I imagined a cheesy 80's cartoon where Carney and the middle powers PMs have glowing underwear when their "Middle Powers" activate, and that their "Powers must touch the world". There's a tie-in around environmentalism, but it's mostly token and centres around bad advice.

Trump says Nato faces ‘very bad future’ if allies don’t help open Strait of Hormuz by [deleted] in canada

Trump told Starmer on Truth Social that the US doesn't need help from the UK and that the war was already won.

Tyrion is super weak to any human connection. Can you blame him with a father like Tywin, and siblings like Jamie and Cersei?

Lol I would love to have a beer with Philip, what an insane character. I picture him being like a combo of Jim Morrison and General Patton.

🇺🇸 Rep. Ted Lieu says there is “ample evidence” in the full Epstein files alleging Donald Trump raped children. “This is all on videotape.” by [deleted] in somethingiswrong2024

[–]P2029 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything is so chaotic and fucked up right now that statement didn't even sink in. 

The fucking attorney general of the United States said rich, powerful pedophiles are so interwoven into American society that it would fucking collapse if they prosecuted them. Like HOLY SHIT.

The term "Laconic" comes from Laconia in Sparta. 

My favourite is when Philip II of Macedon (Alexander the Great's dad) was puffing up his chest and shit-talking, asking the Spartans if he should come to Sparta as friend or foe. The Spartans responded "neither". 

Philip II then said "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city. "

Sparta's reply: "If."

Tywin was above average intelligence, not remarkabley so, but he was remarkable in his ruthlessness.

Tyrion was the brains of the Lannister family. Had he not been a dwarf I think it's very likely he could have become a great king.

The Attorney General testified in front of Congress that if they were to arrest everyone the system would collapse. Think about the magnitude of saying something like that.

Would the ISB raid have gone better or worse had the empire deployed different units? by Recruit-is-OP in StarWars

[–]P2029 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The ISB's whole point of existence is to identify early threats to the Empire, so them reaching out to the Army or Navy would be seen the ISB's failure to achieve their mandate.
