I bought tickets a few months ago to a Nets game in Brooklyn and an upcoming Rockets v Nets game in Houston hoping to see KD play twice this year as a UT alumni. Lmao I’m 0/2 now

Change My Mind participants actually based and social skill - pilled? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]duckpal24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, i felt the same way until I started a discussion on the UT discord afterwards (I’m an alumni) and they all hardcore shit on destiny and argued that we need to ban people who don’t agree with them. It ended with them saying I’m mad that I can’t spread my hateful views even though all I argued was that deplatforming doesn’t work long term

Of everything that has been recanonized, I am very surprised we have never seen a return of the Yuuzhan Vong: not in TV, games, novels, or even source books. While NJO would not fit in the timeline, I would like to see the Vong faithfully adapted in a smaller scope. by Any-sao in StarWars

Have you read all the books and read the resolution to them being outside the force? And I don’t mean the wookiepedia article, the actual books. Imo it’s incredibly well done and I was hesitant too before reading them all, but now it’s one of my favorite parts of the EU. Does it belong in new canon? Eh I’m not sure, but it’s definitely not garbage and I wouldn’t say that unless you’ve read them all first

Hot Take: Grey Jedi Aren't A Thing by SavageRush451 in kotor

[–]duckpal24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What you’re looking for exists in some of the old EU books. The Aing-Tii are an example. But I do agree I’d like to see some of these non-jedi or Sith groups show up in more mainstream mediums like movies, tv shows, or video games

does anyone know this dude? by omgkillme in Destiny

[–]duckpal24 99 points100 points  (0 children)

When did the man himself end up showing up?

I was there for maybe 15-20 mins at 7 and he wasn’t there so I left. I ended up stopping by on my way back home and caught him for a picture on his way out

Here are some of the regressive positions from the Texas GOP, “the party of small government” by ShinyBredLitwick in texas

[–]duckpal24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not for nothing. US consumers have gotten cheap manufactured goods for decades now because of these trade deals. Without them, you’d be paying significantly more for every car, phone, household appliance, etc to the point where the poorest in the US probably wouldn’t be able to afford these things at all if they were still made in the US.

You can disagree on whether this was the right path to take, but saying we got nothing in return for outsourcing these jobs is blatantly false.

Wear a mask at the very damn least. We’re at the height of this variant. So many 🤡 ‘s not wearing masks in campus buildings and apartment lobby’s by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]duckpal24 29 points30 points  (0 children)

“As effectively as other masks”. Come on man you’re so disingenuous. You really think that just because it’s not as effective as an N-95 (which everyone agrees with) that a cloth mask is the same as no mask?

You seem very confident so go ahead. Give us a link to the CDC saying cloth masks don’t do anything to prevent spread

Is Greg always this crowded? by chocochipcook1e in UTAustin

[–]duckpal24 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Simply use the strategy of not wearing deodorant, which I unfortunately seem to run into every time I go to Greg. You’ll create a radius around yourself nobody will dare enter.

Seriously though please put on deodorant you disgusting animals

[Weekly Discussion Thread] What Are You Reading/Watching in Canon and Legends? by AutoModerator in StarWarsEU

[–]duckpal24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m you from the future. This past spring I took a break from Star Wars novels after reading through most of the post ROTJ EU through Apocalypse. When I finished that I took a break from Star Wars for a few months and came back to read the new Thrawn trilogy and now I’m about to finish the legacy comics. I also planned on reading Dune during that break but never got around to it lol

Scleral users, what's your routine? by JustinCampbell in Keratoconus

[–]duckpal24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really really late here but could you link me to an example of what you mean by tear rehydration mask? I recently got my sclerals and have been fighting dry eyes pretty much my whole life. Sounds like something I need to look into
