The absolute best part of the EU has to be the time in the Marvel comics where they go to planet Zeltron, which is home to the greatest parties in the galaxy thanks to the pheromones of the natives, and has fended off the Empire by tearing off stormtrooper helmets and loving and drugging them to death. Also the planet's king blatantly checks out Luke's rear end at one point.

Exclamation Marx posted:i loved star wars so much. i'm not even sure that i've actually seen the entirety of any one of the ot though, since i only ever watched the copies my parents had taped from the tv, with sometimes poorly-judged breaks in recording during the ads back when i was a kid, and my parents didn't have cable, we had one rich uncle on each side of the family who had full on cable and satellite and high end VCRs + media, and they would record hella stuff off the disney channel and hbo and also regular tv channels for us my dad finally bought the original trilogy on vhs when the tv recordings of it we'd gotten had worn down they must have put a lot of work into it too, because some were from network and basic cable sources that must have had a lot of commerical breaks, but the tapes we'd get didn't have any commercials or visible missing segments (but would still sometimes have the channel logo for a short time) SedanChair posted:Perverts? yes pretty much. god he's awful. that dude in the florida thread who thinks he might be a pedophile reminded me of piers anthony's existence today

When automation gets to the point where all manufacturing and service jobs and most professional jobs have been made reduntant, do you think our corporate techno-gods will give us make work to drive consumption, issue a minimum income for the same, or use flying death robots to keep us in a state of primitive feudal subservience?

i think "As the euphoric summer months wore into the autumn, the world’s most sophisticated barometers of public opinion, the Gallup polling organization in the United States and the Gestapo in Germany, registered inverse movements in the public mood." might be my favorite sentence ina history book yet there's a dude whos dad was a total creepo (knocked up his mother when she was 12 and he was like 18) who is like 17 years old and thinks he mostly like 12-14 year olds currently and has a complex over it. but he also mentioned that his preferred age was lower when he was younger, so i think the dude is just going to be that guy who's 30 years old and dating some chick just out of college when he's older, rather than being stuck at having the hots for middle school girls forever? its in http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3693326 GhostofJohnMuir posted:When automation gets to the point where all manufacturing and service jobs and most professional jobs have been made reduntant, do you think our corporate techno-gods will give us make work to drive consumption, issue a minimum income for the same, or use flying death robots to keep us in a state of primitive feudal subservience? most jobs are already redundant and have been for many decades at times. most people working generic office jobs, for example, are accomplishing essentially nothing, whole companies are accomplishing essentially nothing. you are in the make work economy and have been since you were born.

Dr. Faustus posted:*looks around* First they came for those who liked The Phantom Menace, and I said nothing, for I didn't like The Phantom Menace. Then they came for those who liked Attack of the Clones, and once again, I said nothing, for I didn't like Attack of the Clones. Finally, they came for those who liked Revenge of the Sith, and I laughed, because seriously who the gently caress would see that after the first two its like watching the third matrix you just loving don't do it. I fell asleep at the theatre during Fellowship of the Ring. Movie be long, theatre be dark, I be sleepy.

The first half hour of PT Anderson's The Master is the best representation of PTSD I've seen in cinema. There is a Freddie Quell in my store, every other week, 6 years in the poo poo, 65 staples in his back trying to pawn his newly bought China made consumer entertainment crap every visit because all he wants to do is drink and forget his life in a country that basically hates him.

My Imaginary GF posted:America has a social safety net: the military. Either enlist for your GMI, or outsource yourself. Cool. Can you draw me up some safety net alternatives as you eat steak and fruity pebbles, you brunching fool? Something that preferably doesn't have an enormous amount of people signing up to die for money. Something that condemns a process of mindfucking our barely-legal adults, and reforming that poo poo from the ground up so we don't have a bunch of loving Ramsay Snows coming home with a ton of cash and a silent need to keep ending lives.

Randler posted:I have yet to see an argument for a universal American safety net that wasn't deeply flawed from the get go. The first thing that is usually touted is that we have about 400 million American citizens, divided up horribly amongst states, that statistically, racially and religiously hate each other with about 1.5 guns to each civilian and an extreme hatred on authority. It's uh, it's a hard thing to refute.
