If you've stumbled across my profile, congratulations! You get nothing.
I post about retro media, music, photography and whatever it is that catches my eye. Expect to hear about sci-fi and TV shows you've never heard of or seen before.
@HumanoidHistory
I think it's so funny there's millions of parents who took their kids to see Alien expecting to see Star Wars and not a cosmic horror story about rape. The same thing happened to my older brother and my parents told me he had nightmares for *years.*

@GokuSexOffender
I can't even tell what the worst thing about this video is. Is it the tonedeaf dancing cats, the monetization language, the AI artwork or the complete lack of context to some of the history included, such as Truman? Or is it all of the above?

The public wasn't quite so homophobic and unaccepting until the Lavender Scare came out in full force. People still weren't fond of gay people, mind you, and there was some pressure from the government but attitudes were very much just "live and let be."
@Bonesdrawstuff
I always loved the interpretation Dark Horse had of the Engineer when they were running the Alien comics. There's some variation among artists throughout the years but I just find it infinitely more eerie that it's a skeleton and we never saw a live one on the big screen.

@propaganda91
No but there's a lot of people who lie about their ages and say they're 18. Whenever someone says their age or birthday is actually x, it's an automatic left swipe for me because I assume they've lied about being 18 in the past.
@cardigan_mess
George famously didn't care much about the EU. He cooperated with several writers on projects or games and even participated in the creation of stories but it wasn't *his* Star Wars. His vision came first. Everyone involved knew this.
@lone_Wolf06
I feel like they made it pretty obvious in the movie when they referred to Cassandra as "them" and not "her." And I checked their Wikipedia page after to see their filmography.
@tacticoolgf
To be fair, this is all just target shooting. America has always done well in categories like skeet shooting in the Olympics, which hasn't yet happened. But it's still really funny.
@sammyclaws12
To be fair, Biden's done a lot during his presidency. But a lot of his accomplishments just went under the radar. I wouldn't put him up there with FDR or LBJ but he's comparable to Bush Sr. in a lot of his domestic policies imo.

It's been a few years since I last went but I *do* remember seeing all 3. The streets have been repaved and repainted over the years though so it may not have always been 3. We used to go all the time when I was a kid.

A vast majority of conspiracies are directly or indirectly linked to antisemitism. Lizard people is a big one. Shadow government that rules the world is another.
I still think it's wicked the original Phase 2 concept art borrowed so much from the stormtrooper helmet. Ultimately, it was redone to give it a less Imperial look, which is how we ended up with the Phase 2 helmet we know and love today. But it lives on in LEGO.
@KRosencreutz
@atun_shei
It happens a lot with Star Wars too, which is really unfortunate. But that's largely because of the Star Wars YouTube community, which is full of right wing grifters. Seeing how transphobic YouTube's community is is really disheartening as a transfem who wants to try to get in.

@Minty_2022
Modern colored film's been around since the 1930s. B&W film isn't used to make events look older but simply because it's often cheaper than color film. For comparison, an 8 pack slide of colored film for the Polaroid 660 Sun is $20. B&W is $10-15.
@askywalkerjuice
And they also just managed to take away the mystique of Thrawn but that's less of an issue that Rebels caused and more just the current approach to writing him in general. He went from feeling like a genuine threat to just another Saturday morning cartoon villain.
@NbRubbish
There's so many Prequel & OT settings and ships we still haven't gotten but LEGO Star Wars fans just want clones and it's exhausting. I like clones but not when it's at the expense of creativity or getting other things we haven't had before or in years.

"Not really" Yes, he would have. My grandfather's family had to flee Poland because of the war and my brother's grandfather's entire family was killed for the crime of being Polish. Get your head out of your ass.
@cardigan_mess
That being said, I think Clone Wars is much better than Republic. Republic got a little too edgy at times. Both focused way too much on the Jedi for my liking but Clone Wars did a great job showing off the war itself and just how it affected people im & out of the Republic.
As an aside, here's LEGO's original Phase 2 clone troopers from 2005 with their concept art based helmets and Genndy Tartakovsky's Phase 2 clone troopers, also based off the same concept art.

The owner of my local Goth club was a certified Nazi who supported Nazi black metal bands and had several Nazi tattoos. When we all found out, we boycotted the club. People ABSOLUTELY do care and to act like they don't is ridiculous. It's not chronically online.

My grandfather was born to *very* poor farmers in the midst of the war. His family has privilege at some point but WWI, which my great grandfather fought in, and 12 great uncles bankrupted them. They didn't even have a floor. Just dirt.
I guess women like the Angels of Bataan, who spent the course of the war in PoW camps, didn't exist. Neither did the women of the Maquis or the Red Army or any number of Yugoslav partisan groups or even the Chinese.
@atun_shei
I find this statement really funny though because the only way we won WWII was because women were doing things the men weren't around to do at home. And we could vote then! But I guarantee there's no woman in this man's life that loves him or is willingly around him.
@OBSquadron
@HammerAndGrease
You know there was gender reassignment surgery in the 1920s, right? Back when "they would be locked up or killed?" Or that America reacted very fondly when WWII Vet Christine Jorgensen transitioned as a woman in the 1950s?
@ClaireMax
I mostly just do WWII & the 1940s. I'd love to get into the Victorian era but that's unfortunately even more niche and full of old racist white men. So I'll have to wait until they die out.
@VenDjarin
Here's mine - an undead Dathomirian witch who escapes Dathomir and pledges herself to the Rebel Alliance after a Blackwing outbreak wiped out her entire clan.
@ClaireMax
Pretty much. There's more to it but they're in the same vein. I see reenacting as more of a public showy thing and living history more as trying to live in the moment as you would in whatever period you're representing. Showing off vs living it.
If I had a nickel for every girl I met that I mesh really well with that also turns out to be a misandrist, I'd have at least a dollar which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened so many times.
@ClaireMax
I get a similar reaction when I tell people I do living history. I don't think people realize it's less about looks and more about passion. Yes, looks *are* important but just because I look a certain way at a certain time doesn't mean I can't pull it off.

It was a real thing SEALS were doing to camouflage themselves amongst beachheads or deserts. Whether or not it's effective, I'll leave to your discretion. But it was very briefly a thing.

@UnseenOps
I felt like 2 was much better about it tbh. But I also just found 2 to be much more engaging period and it didn't help I was going to college near Washington DC at the time. The game is SUPER faithful to the real DC. It's crazy.

It's so fucking annoying. Especially with the nonstop fetishization & objectification on top of it. I've stopped referring to myself as Goth online because of it despite being active in my community. It's disgusting.
@FluffyBunnyPixl
@punkittdev
I do something similar...ish. I just wet my razor with cold water and shave pretty much right down to the skin. I find it much easier to cut it really short without shaving cream but my skin also isn't irritated or cut easy. YMMV.

Tell me you've never spent a day working the field without telling me you've never spent a day working the field. Nothing about this is practical for a human woman, let alone an alien.
Did you know the members of Tubeway Army, Gary Numan's band, went on to form their own band after Gary Numan retired from touring in 1981? Forming shortly after Numan's announcement, Dramatis released 7 singles and an album before ultimately disbanding in 1982.
@mollybrizzell
I really loved season 1 & parts of season 2 but the constant character and plot regression throughout the latter half of the show and in other shows like Book of Boba Fett make it really hard to feel invested in the story as it is now.

@skybridgerstan
No, it really doesn't take a swing at her acting ability. She did everything she was given just fine. It speaks more about the writing quality and the acting director than anything else. But it's not that deep at the end of the day and you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Except you can't. You *need* to have Fallout 4 installed and it needs to be the previous update. Playing FOLON with a Next Gen update Fallout 4 will not work.

It's sad knowing Cailan was even outraged such a thing happened and was willing to pledge his army to justice for the Elves. He does the same for the Couslands if you're a human. He was naive but few others unquestionably had the player's back like that.
@EobardThaw63332
@ieiriism
I can't say I'd hate to tell you this, because I don't, but if this is what your "support" is then no one actually wants it. No one stops being a woman or a man just because you don't like what they say. Go pound sand.

Goth is also *very* popular in Mexico & most of South America. I live on the US-Mexico border and there's a huge scene here. One of the biggest current bands, Twin Tribes, is from here and there's dozens of other Latino Goth bands such as French Police or Haunt Me.

And then they're gonna have to go and constantly tweak and update two different versions of the mod, which isn't ideal for anyone. Just be patient and wait. You've made it this long.

On launch, Medic had the fastest running speed, could carry C4 & could self heal. It was absolutely a *broken* class and even with every class now being able to self heal, still is. It wasn't even worth playing vehicles since a dude could run up and blow you up before you noticed
@ClaireMax
It doesn't. Unfortunately. There's the National Parks Service, which does something similar, but it's really just a hobby. I know some people that have gotten into acting or made movies through it but it's a rarity.

It's music based, just like most alternative subcultures. If you don't listen to the right genres, you're simply not Goth. Wearing black does not make you Goth.
@NbRubbish
People have been asking for the Naboo Royal Starship from Phantom Menace for *years* and we've still never gotten it. What about the Zam Wessel chase? Slave 1 in Hondo's paint scheme? A regular Z-95? Slave 2? No, we get more clones instead.
@petarsaur

Yes, it does. And it happens a LOT. Screenrant made an excellent article about the ways season 3 completely ignores the growth and development that Din has experienced in favor of maintaining the status quo.

@ettingermentum
There's something to be said about the way his trial was handled given that his CO, Captain Ernest Medina, admitted to lying on the stand and he wasn't particularly popular among his troops beforehand. The Army famously isn't known for being very fair when it comes to trials.
@HammerAndGrease
It is so funny as an Aliens fan seeing the Borderlands movie flop while Romulus is full of praise in its early reviews. Aliens: Colonial Marines fans, we are so back.
@TheNoodlePerso1
@SteyrACR_real
I've been saying from day one Medic needs to be nerfed because of how busted it is compared to the other classes. Only for...Recon to get all the nerfs? Because players like the one in the video complain about being sniped? Seriously? 🤦♂️
