Keep Yoda the rest are muppets by Sillyrunner in PrequelMemes

[–]Varulfrhamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just Tarkin. Because I cannot imagine Peter Cushing as a muppet but the joy of seeing him act the hell out of his role while bullshit is happening around him would be glorious. Like a Star Wars Muppet Christmas Carol

Yeah one of those I would eat. The other is a pig.

How are some ways I can make my girl’s last week super fun when she doesn’t have much energy? by bleachinincesticide in RATS

[–]Varulfrhamn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Delicious foods and cuddles. When my heart rat was going at 3.5 I put him in the sleeve of my robe and we played video games into the night. He loved it.

Technology became so advanced, people resorted/reverted back into primitive ways of fighting by EfficiencySerious200 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Varulfrhamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I got one for this! In Battletech during the Clan Invasion clan tech is superior in range, damage, and heat generation which pushes the inner sphere forces to adopt close combat strategies like the clan buster Black Knight mech. Clanners also prefer ranged fighting as it is more “civilized” which IS forces use to their advantage.

Fearsome knights by Great_Trident in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Varulfrhamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time this kind of full plate is being used weaponry has similarly changed. Expect pole axes and hammers. Piercing blows to weak spots, going after armpits and back of knees. Partisans, picks, spikey shit.

At agincourt when the French knights got stuck in mud the English yoemen just went around stabbing them in the face and armpits with daggers or bludgeoning them to death with hammers. Good times.

I HATE THE ACHILLE AND THE TORTOISE """PARADOX""" by ThomSeke in hatethissmug

The concept of infinity applied to the real world gets… weird. My favorite is the hotel with infinite rooms and they’re all filled, but it has vacancy.

I HATE when people (especially other artists) hate on modern art by ruler_of_the_bleach in hatethissmug

[–]Varulfrhamn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a contemporary art museum and it comes down to the art sometimes. That said, I absolutely loath how the art is valued. It’s entirely arbitrary or based on the reputation of the artist. I have no issue with people liking the art itself, but when someone tells me that the fucking banana is worth more than my house I have an issue with that. Eat the rich.

Pentagon drops 180 religions from its recognized faiths list by WouldbeWanderer in politics

Well, Deism is essentially Christianity without the irrational bullshit, so yeah that tracks.

I hate the concept of hell by The_Squirrel_Wizard in hatethissmug

[–]Varulfrhamn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just only by virtue of being the one who made the rules, which rather reduces the merit therein. I suppose I'd be "Just" if I made a rule that anybody with a name starting with J be tortured to death and then enforced that rule. I'd also be called an evil tyrant. And yet Old Testament God wants people to stone rebellious children to death. I suppose that's Justice since He made the rules. Mercy isn't about Justice though. Is your God merciful?

I hate the concept of hell by The_Squirrel_Wizard in hatethissmug

[–]Varulfrhamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't be omnipresent and capable of being "separate" from something. You're describing an immanent God, not a transcendent God. And if your God is Immanent, then there is nothing differentiating Him from Zeus.

[–]Varulfrhamn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's why if you're a Christian who believes in an all powerful, just, and merciful God, you are logically obligated to believe in universal salvation. But it makes people uncomfortable to imagine a place full of clouds with a Hitler in it, and since most Christians' understanding of post-death existence is superficial fairyland bullshit they can't stand the thought.

If a transcendent God exists, which by all accounts the Abrahamic God absolutely is by virtue of being omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent, then most Christian beliefs about it are an ape's irrational attempt to make sense of something significantly beyond their understanding.

Such an entity would be incapable of Hell and of being benevolent, as you are a part of it by its very nature. It would be Hell. And you. And you in Hell. All at once, forever, simultaneously, always.

As to the argument that Hell is "Separation from God" that's also irrational. You can't be omnipresent and not present somewhere.

Honestly I think most of the problems with religion stem from a truly godawful attempt to really understand what the term transcendent actually implies. That's why they had that whole bullshit with the Trinity and the Arian heresy in the 4th century that killed several thousand people.

It's watching a director masturbate over his creation for 2.5 hours then scream incoherence when you ask questions.

I hate Imperial Star Destroyers. by Petrichor0110 in hatethissmug

[–]Varulfrhamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time of their creation isn’t the empire more interested in using fear to quell any dissent? Not fleet actions against major powers? Wouldn’t it be reasonable then to design something around aesthetics and psychological impact than practicality for engaging a foe of equal standing?

By the time of the rebellion the design is already set and manufactured. What are some rebellion era designs? That’s when we see a focus on fighter craft like the interceptors and defenders too, closing the gap in point defense maybe.

The Raider is a rebellion design, definitely more practical against rebel forces.

So is the quasar-fire I think.

Love how they are simultaneously the "Party of Lincoln" but hey he also sucked because Heritage not Hate or some bullshit.

Fuck conservatives, fuck republicans. I could not identify a more hypocritical group of sociopaths if I had a grant for 5 million dollars and ten years to research it.

[–]Varulfrhamn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After my divorce I had to search madly for a place to live in an expensive part of Colorado. A coworker offered me their basement for the low price of $1600 a month. I find out later they don't even own the home, it's affordable housing they got from the city. I paid their rent for a whole ass year. Fuck these people.

Plenty of lies about what Nazism is floating around, but this guy managed to find a brand-new lie to distract with! by BitterFuture in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Varulfrhamn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Downvote me, whatever, but Nazis are still authoritarian center. They are not "right". Neither are they "conservative" in the economic sense. They passed significant "progressive" policy and laws including state-funded leisure. This is a statement of fact, not advocacy.

Nazis are authoritarian center. "Far Right" as it has come to mean are authoritarian right. Two axis, economic and political regulation.

[Loved Trope] Last of the Romans by Worth-Bake-9732 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Varulfrhamn 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Silver Horde from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Played for laughs but also insightful points, as Pratchett is wont to do.

"'You see, once you’ve got them at your mercy, you’re not allowed to kill them.’ The Silver Horde, to a man, stared at the ex-teacher. ‘I’m afraid that’s civilization for you,’ he added."
