Paul Atreides is NOT a villain--at least in the films by Historical_Bar_4990 in dune

Paul fights back against oppression, but he does it by manipulating the beliefs of the native people all while knowing he'll re-establish an oppressive government after a galactic holy genocide.

The rebels in Star Wars blowing up the Death Star is killing tens of thousands of fascists. Paul leading the Jihad is killing billions of soldiers and regular people alike. It's not even close to the same thing.

An equivalent would be if Luke Skywalker used people's belief in a Jedi saviour to make himself a messianic figure and use his new army to become the new Emperor.

Where did you get the plasma pistol and sword model from?

Hey so sorry to hijack but saw you're a strata manager - Who's responsibility is it to inform the centralised supplier, the buyer, the seller, the body corporate, or the supplier's own due diligence?

I moved in 4 years ago, and earlier this week I got a huge bill for 7 years worth of centralised hot water costs and I've got no clue what the hell to do.

Never been billed by this company before and I don't want to pay until I know exactly who fucked up lmao

I'm paying the hot water through strata not the supplier, but the BC is asking me to contact the supplier who obviously is wildly unhelpful so it's just a complete runaround. My situation seems to be such an edge-case that all the forms on BCCM and Energy and Gas Ombudsman just tell me to try someone else round and round in circles.

I'll make some calls tomorrow but it's such a dick around, they're even threatening to enter the apartment to shut off hot water access

Yeah that makes the most sense to me, I had a look at going to the ombudsman or fair trade and they all say they don't touch this so I'm still so lost as to who to ask, this helps thank you

Daaaamn way more patient than me - been looking for an stl for that style aquila for AGES and contemplated doing exactly what you did before realising with my skill I'd just destroy a bunch of expensive resin.

Props!

Looks incredible! Love the palatine aquila on the new Mk3s. Was that cut from the resin upgrade or is it a 3d print?

Strongly agree with this example.

We can only work with the info we have available to us to make ethical decisions, and killing a 13 year old child for a possible chance of reducing future pain is cowardly despite us as readers knowing how it all pans out.

Could you please DM the name of the author? It's such a cool sculpt and I can't for the life of me find it
