So my interest here comes from working on an SI fic where the SI is dropped into the position, though not the body, of Darth Plagueis. And I want to be clear my version of Star Wars for that fic is actually taking the current discussion very seriously for what kind of setting the SI was dealing...

Honestly I feel Han being a big shot is really a fuck up on the part of writers who misunderstood the character as presented in A New Hope. This is a guy who was clearly blowing smoke out of his ass when he talked about doing the Kessle Run in "parsecs" to impress random yokel Luke Skywalker...

Jesus Christ. So I can't really keep going anymore. I'll admit some of this is intellectual cowardice on my part, but most of it is that you're so far beyond my sense of disbelief I'm legitimately thinking the supernatural explanations make more sense, not less, than what you're trying to...

So that's a core element for me. I don't have the prior context build up, and, to risk being insulting, I don't entirely trust @*THASF*. Not in the sense I think he's being deceptive, but I think a sincere person could come to his beliefs without being correct due to motivated reasoning or being...

So most of this fits in with my stuff I really don't want to discuss because well, it's really hard, but ivermectin surprises me as a thing you came out in favor of. Basically my question is why isn't it in widespread usage in places like China or South Korea, which are imposing hugely...

Saying this as nicely as possible, he looks a lot like a batshit insane conspiracy theorist. The drawing from a super wide set of foggy and largely uncorrelated evidence, the very elaborate and highly malicious conspiracy, the persecution complex. That being said, one of the archtypical...

I'm a Democrat. I'm enjoying a debate on The Sietch because @Agent23 and @Chiron are being beaten so badly in the debate. Like, step up your Nazi game people, you don't want people to actually start thinking you're a reasonable debate forum or something, do you? If these are paid Russian shills...

Honestly the extent of the personal soldiers doing horrible unorganized war crimes has really surprised me. Probably my own lack of familiarity with Russian army and culture, which I now hear is basically a giant hyper-armed prison gang, but I assumed the war crimes would be mostly "artillery...

Well this thread got amazing while I was gone.

The tank factories are literally shutting down due to the sanctions regime. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-halts-tank-production-due-supply-problems-ukraine-claims-1690388 Also the mothballed old stuff is clearly worse than the stuff they lost already, or else they'd be using it instead...

It seems it's not far off, it's here. Or else something close enough there's no need to quibble about it because the actual events are bad enough. The thing is, Putin doesn't have enough bombs left to destroy Ukraine. His army was either fucked from the start or was already fucked before the...

Alright. I admit that it's just unpleasant to respond in too much detail right now. If I accepted everything you're claiming, my worldview would be pretty much broken up, and I just can't do that. You deserve to know why I am largely bowing out. I cannot refute every point and detail you're...

Okay, I want you to understand that it is really hard for me to face that this even might be true. It's a major effort to work with a paradigm so alien to the media narrative I've been fed. So here are my questions. 1. Why should I believe the Q-Sphere now when it has made consistently false...

*blinks* I wasn't expecting full Q-Anon here. Q-Anon fellow traveler maybe, but not full Q-Anon. If I actually believed any of that I obviously wouldn't consider the Biden stuff comparable. But you're literally going "Ukrainian bio-weapons" here. Which is um, not a thing I believe is remotely...
