@WhyEssEff@hexbear.net potential sign there.

Mike Nelson managed to be actually funny during Mystery Science Theater 3000’s run while also being a conservative chud off stage.

Edgelord shit like that is the safe space for edgelords. And their “trigger” is people telling them to not be assholes.

The other

thus Abrams keeps the franchise in an eternal state of rebels vs empire like he is a kid playing with toys reenacting the OT over and over again

He’s the worst kind of uncreative brat in the neighborhood, the kind that bashes the toys together until they break (killing off characters and undoing any changes that they had established) and scratches his name on stuff that was never his (like the not-Tatooine “Jakuu” and the not-Corsucant “Hosnian Prime” that was almost Coruscant until the suits said he can’t quite break that toy, and the not-Empire “First Order” and the not-Rebellion “Resistance” and don’t get me started on the not-Sith “Knights of Ren.”).

That’s why rich assholes make the worst relatives at social gatherings, too. They’re the ones that must be the toppers all the time: “oh, you went on vacation to (affordable) place? I went to (expensive) place with authentic (foreign thing that is prestigious to insufferable rich assholes)” as a regular conversation topic.

Is it bad to be almost 48 and sit around the house listening to music that is sometimes rock, sometimes disco, and just meditate on what the fuck.

Yes, but do it more.
