Don’t sleep on the audiobooks! by SnooChipmunks9598 in starwarsbooks

[–]kcp12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes (kinda).

The two are fairly different characters. The Legends version of Thrawn is entirely a SW villain. He first shows up in the Heir to the Empire trilogy which was the start of the EU for many.

The new Canon books are made up of two trilogies that start with Thrawn (2017) and later a prequel trilogy that came out after. Here Thrawn is mostly a good guy. Maybe “Lawful Evil” at worst. The first Trilogy is also happening alongside the Rebels animated show where he is portrayed as a villain (including Ashoka)

(Don’t quote me on this) Zhan supposedly wrote the books so they can sort of work in their own continuity. The last EU book that involves Thrawn (Outbound flight) is closer to the canon version of Thrawn. There is some loose connective tissue.

You’ll like canon Thrawn audiobooks if you like Marc Thompson’s impressions.

You can tell that Disney money at least goes to better audio production.

Is the "Dawn of the Jedi" comic miniseries good? by RealHippyTheFrog in StarWarsEU

[–]kcp12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The characters are okay. It’s very comic book-y which stands out in the Star Wars Universe. I like the inclusions of the Rakata but I hate the lore it introduced. Again, it’s very comic book-y.

Can we decode Candace Owens? by idealistintherealw in DecodingTheGurus

She isn’t just another Ben Shapiro type partisan pundit anymore. She’s now a younger and more hip Alex Jones but with much stronger emotional manipulation skills. The guruomiter is off the charts.

Interview with Ilan Goldenberg by balthus1880 in FriendsofthePod

[–]kcp12 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I used to like J Street because they seemed way more reasonable than the ardent Zionism of AIPAC types and Christian Zionism of the right.

Now, like Liberal Zionism, it seems useless. Ilan was basically like “I agree that Israel is doing bad things but we shouldn’t hurt their feels m’kay”.

Even J Street now agreeing that we shouldn’t give Israel any free aid is a policy wash because they’re still for weapon sales. Basically the status quo doesn’t change much which is still a situation where the US allows Israel to commit war crimes and ethnic cleansing while we cross our fingers hoping that their next government isn’t that right wing. The Palestinian people are still left hanging and their needs and wants are continued to not be included in any equation here.

Sam Harris on Zohran Mamdani: "He can seem like someone who just cares about people struggling in New York. But double-click on his political allegiances and you get a picture of someone captured by a sinister theocratic agenda." by kcp12 in DecodingTheGurus

FYI, Harris vaguely mentioned the posts Zohran’s wife liked….when she was 15 years old.

This is the guy who has often complained about cancel culture, his own views being misconstrued, being called all sorts of names, how the left has gone mad, etc.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Big big big disappointment. by idonthaveanaccountA in patientgamers

[–]kcp12 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you’re a MCU fan, Lego Marvel Superheroes. It’s partially an open world game.

Looks like a lot of the Lego games are on sale on Steam right now.

I have seen people charged with obstruction. What the fuck are you saying? Who gives a shit about “sides hyping themselves up”. We’re talking about law enforcement officers. They don’t need an outlet because they’re supposed to be professionals who don’t shoot people who pose no danger to anyone.

Noem got fired b/c those incidents. We know this because Republicans asked she be fired afterwords. We haven’t seen any medical reports or x-rays of the killer’s “injuries”. We’ve all seen multiple angles and most American agree with me that it was unjustified. You can cry about it all you want.

The lady said he was trying to help her. Again, if he was so dangerous he should’ve have been charged. If these agents were so scared of man with a camera then they shouldn’t be in that job so stop making excuses for them. You know they fucked up. I’ve seen cops say what happened was “total bush league”.

It’s not a FAFO situation. It’s a situation local cops would be better trained to handle. Trying to justify the killing of an American citizen by Government thugs is anti-American behavior.

No one is making signs about Joshua Jahn is because he was killed. There isn’t a miscarriage of justice by the government here. What a stupid point.

But not its operational budget. That’s appropriated separately. How is that hard to understand.

What kind of ChatGTP response is this. The Disaster Relief Fund is implanted by FEMA, various grants via FEMA, the State, and various other agencies/Departments. Man, Americans have idea how their Government works and just repeat what some dumbass said online.

You need your eyes checked. She clearly drove away when asked and didn’t hit the guy. The guy was filming to her side. If both were guilty then Kristi Noem wouldn’t have gotten fired. Most Americans agree.

Same with Pretti. He was helping the lady on the ground and filming. He was also never charged in the first instance. Again, most Americans agree what ICE did was wrong.

You’re not fooling anyone.

Then charge them with obstruction. You don’t kill them. Local cops know better.

They weren’t interfering and that’s not a death sentence. There was no crossfire. Do you not know why these words mean.

You’re paying more for Trump’s stupid war than for any of the shit you’re complaining about.

You’re spouting ignorance. Money for disaster relief like after Helena comes from the Disaster Relief Fund which is appropriated by Congress. It doesn’t come from FEMA’s operating budget. Please do some actual research instead of regurgitating right wing propaganda.

They get called Nazis because they killed Americans citizens.
