@judgedread @DW2 > if you don't BLOW IT

Now that you mention it I didn't start to think hard about the Thrawn trilogy until all three films were crapped out and I wondered why, if they were going to make retread anyway, why didn't they use the novels so that at least the retread wouldn't suck.

I'd quibble slightly over the actor's age as it would have been better and easier to move Zahn's trilogy a couple decades into the future rather than what they ended up doing.

@Richard @fry The easiest way for me to tell if someone's IT guy was in the military is if the runs are done in strand and the patch cables done in solid 😒

@sptr Carnival Trash is just trash; the homeless bum on the street usually has better life advice.

@sptr Yes.
Somehow Google is able to tell exactly how anti-government a website is, but is completely unable to detect Indian scam sites.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Burned out my first PS3 playing their stuff in the background when playing games (for anyone who recalls the last time Sony was remotely cool and would let you replace a game's sound track with your own). Not everyone's sound for sure, but still, had to go back and listen to Seven Bridges after that poast.

@sptr They would have to rehab the whole building to mitigate that which I do not think is going to happen 😔

@sptr My theory is it’s Japanese food. It tastes good but it has a lot of carbohydrates.

@TrevorGoodchild Wow.
Auron McIntyre had an okay show not too long ago where he noted, from a historical standpoint, that when true science reaches it's limits in what it can achieve for society that it will devolve into a religion.

@Terry States Should be required to do the electoral college as well so that city criminals can rule the whole the state.

@Paleface @KarlDahl @judgedread I completely get the non-accelerationists position, and agree with it, mostly, but I just don't see a true way out unless the global dollar is brought to an end, and I don't see a way for that to happen without a calamity of some sort to bring it about.

@sptr We know the type. They vote to let black criminals out of jail and then flee to places like Japan. They should be forced to live in the mess they have made, send them back :Salute:

@TrevorGoodchild @p I thought FF8 was more approachable than FF7, but maybe only because of the infinite money trick in the game.

@TrevorGoodchild @Hertz @brigrammer @dubbub @BattleDwarfGimli @PraxisOfEvil @sickburnbro As usual, this gets it (mostly) backwards though:
>The drawback is that, in the years since the end of the gold standard, there’s been a significant and growing lack of discipline when it comes to government spending.

Nixon had to end the gold standard precisely because a decade of proliferate spending meant that the government was unable to defend the standard. We see something similar happening today where the government is repeatedly abusing the underpinnings of the currency with no care for what will happen when it breaks. (For instance, some robot historian will say the dollar crashed in 2030 because the Saudis walked away from the Dollar-Oil agreement, when in actuality they walked away because of weakened faith in the dollar).

@dubbub @TrevorGoodchild @Hertz @brigrammer @BattleDwarfGimli @PraxisOfEvil @sickburnbro They could have handled the space program, the war, or, ugh, the outbreak of nigger-love, but not all three.
Arguably the oil reserve currency status brought more power to the empire than holding on to some 19th century currency standard ever would, and it also ensured that debt spending would continue unabated since debt generation is all but required for a reserve currency in order to make sure there is enough liquidity to conduct transactions in it around the globe.

@dubbub @TrevorGoodchild @Hertz @brigrammer @BattleDwarfGimli @PraxisOfEvil @sickburnbro None of those had anywhere near the scope of the petro-dollar. One of the ones that came the closest, and is interestingly not on that list, was the old Reichsbank marks which became a de facto "global currency" in Europe due to Germany paying off their reparations with them. Contrary to popular belief, the currency blew up not (directly) because of the reparations but because Germany was able to print up infinite debt while suffering only comparatively minor issues in comparison...until the whole scheme fell apart 🙄
