INTRO:
Greetings Dramatards
Yesterday on my father's farm, while we were busy vaccinating cows, by injecting medicine directly into their eyelids and eyeballs, I then had a moment to read an Afrikaans article about Elon Musk's incredible rise in stature, where he had managed to make powerful friends with Trump, and had managed to secure great power and influence by becoming the head of a newly created Department of Efficiency in USA - a newly created organization, which would endeavor during Trump's tenure to investigate Federal spending, and cut bloated or mismanaged funds by the American Nation State.
Supposedly, this was because of Elon's cost-cutting measures which he had done, when he decimated Twatter's bloated workforce by something like 50% in the 1st week, and eventually by 80% overall by the end of the year he bought it. His appointment has been met with positivity by Magatards and the crowds, with the belief that he would endeavour to reduce the annual budget - and he had even made a campaign promise to slash the Colossal yank annual spending of 6 Trillion$, by 2 Trillion$ - video of which has been making rounds
When doubts had been raised by other rightoids of the feasibility of this grand feat, or the reliability of Elon, Magatards had just shouted them down
I'm here to explain why I believe Elon is a horrifying appointment
AMERICAN RIGHTWINGERS MISS THE DANGER OF MUSK:
The Afrikaans article was from a local Economist short paper and they like my own, have their biases to Rightwing type views. While the majority of criticism against Elon has been my lefties, communists and welfare leeches, which poisons the conversation about this significant event. Commies despise Elon for his Libertarian standing, and the fact that Billionares even exist as a concept - so the loudest people whom had opposed this announcement on Twatter had been fricking commies afraid Elon would slash their Neetbux
instead of any policy or ethics criticism - which further poisoned the well of this discussion.
Now pissing off leftoids
is always a GOOOOOD THING!
But many other rightwingers, like Patrick Boyle - who's a Libertarian Mick
have been criticizing Elon hard for his business acumen, his professional and public behaviour and his staggering corruption. And we'll get to that corruption.
The article I read went to such an extreme, as to calling Elon Musk's appointment, the equivalent of a Gupta appointment.
https://rdrama.net/post/162984/marseyflagsouthafrica-south-african-theme-park-racism
Basically the context is that during the infamously corrupt Safrican president Jacob Zuma's 10 years in office, he had esentiallly sold the very grounds beneath the feet of south africans, to the criminal Indian Gupta family, by giving them nationscale nepotistic appointments to their companies via tenders - and allowing the Guptas to pilfer the national resources of the country - in what was termed State Capture.
Elon Musk has similar degrees of monstrous conflicts of interest.
FEASIBILITY OF MUSK'S CAMPAIGN PROMISES:
Now there are a great of inefficiency which Musk can tackle
https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/
Chances are even that it's even feasible that Musk and Trump could cut the annual 7.5 Trillion Budget by as much as 1 Trillion per year, by cutting off all of the Governmental bloat - like the top heavy Educational boards of urban schools filled with parasites, or in the very least make the Pentagon to a national audit see all the various black holes in which yank Federal funding are disappearing into (an audit alone would make Musk's new department worth it alone)
The issue is not the feasibility or the degree of feasibility of Musk curbing Government spending, but that there are phenomenal, PHENOMINAL conflicts of interest!
ARTICLES EXPLORING DEVIOUS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
A New York article written 3 weeks ago goes into how much US Tax dollars have been paying to various tenders obtained by companies owned by Musk's corporate conglomerates.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/us/politics/elon-musk-federal-agencies-contracts.html
The obvious answer would be SpaceX, Musk's space ship building organization, which has worked with, and in may ways supplanted NASA as the premier Space Rocket launching hub in the Western World - due to the fact that SpaceX has been able to organize itself in such a way as to superiorly run entity, and drive space related projects cheaper and with greater skill than the floundering modern NASA.
This world-famous and generally positively viewed symbiotic relationship, by both sides of the aisle in burgerland, between NASA and SpaceX, has been very VERY lucrative for Musk. However NASA is just one fraction of the government tenders SpaceX receives, since the Burgerland Department of Defense has come to rely on SpaceX the company, to launch all of its new military-related satellites!!
The non-space related shit in honestly not that many, but his influence on other shit, like the department of transportation is wild.
But much much more concerning that all of these tenders for !Burgers, is that over the past 10 years, Mush has been fricking embroiled in no less than TWENTY
investigations from USA government oversight and Safety-Inspection organizations!!!!!
And these aren't just junk
no-nothing investigations, they have large impact on the wider industries they influence in which Musk's various conglomerate companies are a part of.
Example:
=====(from NYT article)
His entanglements with federal regulators are also numerous and adversarial. His companies have been targeted in at least 20 recent investigations or reviews, including over the safety of his Tesla cars and the environmental damage caused by his rockets.
But he has thrown his fortune and power behind former President Donald J. Trump and, in return, Mr. Trump has vowed to make Mr. Musk head of a new "government efficiency commission" with the power to recommend wide-ranging cuts at federal agencies and changes to federal rules.
That would essentially give the world's richest man and a major government contractor the power to regulate the regulators who hold sway over his companies, amounting to a potentially enormous conflict of interest.
........multipronged business arrangements with the federal government, as well as the violations, fines, consent decrees and other inquiries federal agencies have ordered against his companies. Together, they show a deep web of relationships: Instead of entering this new role as a neutral observer, Mr. Musk would be passing judgment on his own customers and regulators.
Already, Mr. Musk has discussed how he would use the new position to help his own companies.
He has questioned a rule that required SpaceX to obtain a permit for discharging large amounts of potentially polluted water
from its launchpad in Texas. He also said that limiting this kind of oversight could help SpaceX reach Mars sooner — "so long as it is not smothered by bureaucracy," he wrote on X, his social-media platform. "The Department of Government Efficiency is the only path to extending life beyond Earth."
======
........But the Federal Aviation Administration held up this most recent test launch for weeks, in part because of questions about harm SpaceX has caused to wildlife near its Texas launch site, a delay that infuriated Mr. Musk.
Last month, the F.A.A. started the process to fine SpaceX $633,009 for disregarding license requirements related to two of its Florida launches last year that may have compromised safety, the agency said.
This was a shift for the F.A.A., which in past instances had not imposed fines when SpaceX ignored the agency's direct orders. Marc Nichols, the F.A.A.'s chief counsel, said in a statement last month that "failure of a company to comply with the safety requirements will result in consequences."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened five investigations of Tesla, including for complaints of unexpected braking, loss of steering control and crashes while cars were in "self-driving" mode.
Tesla has tried to block at least two rulings from the National Labor Relations Board, including one punishing Mr. Musk for tweeting that factory workers would lose stock options if they joined a union.
=======
Mr. Musk in recent years has particularly attacked the Securities and Exchange Commission, which in 2018 charged him with securities fraud for a series of false and misleading tweets related to taking Tesla private. Mr. Musk had posted on Twitter that he had planned to take the company private at $420 a share, and that he had "funding secured" for a transaction. As part of a later settlement with the S.E.C., he stepped down as Tesla's chairman and Tesla paid a $20 million fine.
In a 2022 TED Talk, Mr. Musk lambasted regulators, calling them "bastards."
=====(end NYT Quote)
As you guys can see our turbo neurodivergent has been every bit the morally bankrupt billionare as you would expect.
https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-11-14/elon-musk-conflicts-of-interest
=====(from LA times article)
Tesla:
Trump's policies could reduce the sales of electric vehicles, but with Musk's influence, his administration's policies could boost Tesla — though not with federal funding.
For example, Trump, who tempered criticism of electric vehicles after Musk backed him, might end a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles. That would hurt Tesla's unprofitable rivals that rely more on the tax credits to lure customers.
This year, Tesla received at least $2.8 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation through a federally funded program to deploy EV charging stations.
From 2022 to 2024, Tesla and its subsidiaries were awarded at least $631,800 in federal contracts mainly to provide vehicles for the U.S. embassies in Singapore, Iceland and Thailand, the data showed.
The Boring Co.:
Fed up with Los Angeles traffic, Elon Musk launched The Boring Co. with two tweets in 2016, promising "to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging."
However, at Trump's urging, congressional representatives could earmark local transportation projects to the benefit of Boring Co.
=====(end LA Times quote)
SUPER PACS:
Point is his new political influence would give him the capacity to disrupt investigations into his companies, by Health-and-Safety departments and regulators, or worse and most likely enable him to inject bias into the national procurement procedures, to net tenders for only his conglomerate of companies.
Now in the past, staggering corruption has existed. Yanks have appointed business tycoons into ministerial levels of power, or bought the Departments of regulators through influential lobbying by corrupt industry political interests, often through obscuring disguise called SUPERPACS
https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/super-pacs/2024
Like fossil-fuel industries, like coal-mining or offshore-oil-drilling conglomerates to bribe politicians in congress, senate or Presidential admin, to cut regulations in their favor. (Must has also done this for Trump BTW )
https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-america-pac-trump-d248547966bf9c6daf6f5d332bc4be66
But often these corrupt businessmen would be separated by a degree of control, by the corrupt politicians they aimed to control or influence - Musk would have not even ONE degree of such separation, and likely no fricking oversight.
MUSK'S VARIOUS BUSNINESS INTEREST'S SOAR IN VALUE ON STOCK MARKET:
The corruption is SO flagrant that investors on the stock market have gone crazy in investing on in his various businesses, out of the sheer EXPECTATION that Musk will now use his considerable influence and political position to favor his corporate conglomerates!!
MUSK IS A GEOPOLITICAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
Other geopolitical commentators had also mentioned that Musk is by sheer virtue of his Chinese and Russian connections, an astronomical military risk.
https://apnews.com/article/spacex-ukraine-starlink-russia-air-force-fde93d9a69d7dbd1326022ecfdbc53c2
Our boi had on various occasions cut off internet access for Ukraine forces, as they had utilized Starlink in the underdeveloped internet-infrastructure of Hohol-land, which had further degraded during the war, through constant missile barrages on Ukrainian civilian areas. Starlink internet was invaluable to guide GPS areal and naval missiles, as well as connect commercial drones to drop grenades unto enemy trenches
====(from AP article)
SpaceX founder Elon Musk's refusal to allow Ukraine to use Starlink internet services to launch a surprise attack on Russian forces in Crimea last September has raised questions as to whether the U.S. military needs to be more explicit in future contracts that services or products it purchases could be used in war, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said Monday.
Excerpts of a new biography of Musk published by The Washington Post last week revealed that the Ukrainians in September 2022 had asked for the Starlink support to attack Russian naval vessels based at the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Musk had refused due to concerns that Russia would launch a nuclear attack in response.
However, in the months since, the U.S. military has funded and officially contracted with Starlink for continued support. The Pentagon has not disclosed the terms or cost of that contract, citing operational security.
But the Pentagon is reliant on SpaceX for far more than the Ukraine response, and the uncertainty that Musk or any other commercial vendor could refuse to provide services in a future conflict has led space systems military planners to reconsider what needs to be explicitly laid out in future agreements
=====(end AP quote)
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/world/europe/elon-musk-starlink-ukraine.html
Even if Musk's pro-Putler tendencies weren't such a dangerous hot-point in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the sheer fact that a USA-based private-enterprise would balk in the support of USA allies, out of fear of commercial retaliation of USA enemies, laid a lot of concern for Burgerland military leaders.
Then there is China, which in my opinion, and many geopolitical analysts, is a substantially LARGER threat, in terms of making Musk a cabinet weakness!!
Musk has substantial parts of his collective wealth tied to Chinese Factories:
====(FROM scmp)
Elon Musk's involvement in the incoming Donald Trump administration is drawing scrutiny over possible conflicts of interests, with a senator warning that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's business ties with China could jeopardise US national security.
Tesla manufactures half of its vehicles in China, which also accounts for one-third of its sales, while the US Defence Department and other government agencies are increasingly reliant on SpaceX.
Musk's close business ties with China and some of its most senior officials, including Premier Li Qiang, have prompted reports that he could be considered by Beijing as a backchannel to Trump, especially in the early days of the transition period.
"It's a very, very difficult position for Mr Musk to be in," said Fish, adding that Beijing "loves to use corporate leverage" over US companies and individuals to advance its national security interests.
"Frankly, I don't know how Mr Musk can balance the interests he has with the US government, with Tesla and with SpaceX at the same time. It's very, very challenging," he said.
====(end scmp article)
Meaning China could literally threaten Musk with actual bankruptcy (for Tesla), if they try to put the squeeze on him to get him to do something for them, or to threaten Musk directly, if they want to hurt USA directly - like saying if USA provides some stuff for Taiwan, like Starlink antennas - they would just go straight to turbo cuck Musk!
Anyways that's all i have to talk about. Chances are that cutting the bloated yank Budget is entirely feasible - but I personally believe Musk is at all the appropriate candidate for such an astronomically difficult undertaking, despite the vast popularity he enjoys from Libertarians, rightoids and Magatards
Must is such an extremely bad fit for his position, that I think many americans have genuinely missed his obvious and extreme conflicts of interest, and how the cultural-wars and identity politics of Kamala and shitlibs have obfuscated such possible future
Gupta tiers of corruption!!!
Like i hate commies as well, and i enjoy Musk dunking on filthy shitlibs, but that sure as shit doesn't garantee he'll be a force for good for Burgerland

A post is made on Stormfront about Putin claiming that "many Jews" are considering attacking the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. Did Putin actually say this? I don't know, and I don't care; I'm just here for the rightoid infighting.
Definitely not a glowie by the name of "End the fed" asks why Ukraine would elect a Jew after the Jews did so much to Ukraine, and mentions what starts the debate, that he thought Putin was controlled by the Jews
Another "person" chimes in, saying that Putin's stated goal of denazifying Ukraine was actually a psyop created by the Jewish media to get white supremacists to not support Putin
Someone else says Putin is a hypocrite as Jews make up most of the Russian oligarchy and there are actually more Jews in charge in Russia than Ukraine
This guy bemoans how whenever he tries to defend Putin on Stormfront he is always attacked which leads to someone replying that he is wrong and a war-monger
Someone else confirms Putin is controlled by the Jew but that Russians as a whole are wary of Jews
Hey, maybe the Ukrainians didn't actually elect Zelensky and the Jews rigged the election like they did for Biden (but for some reason didn't rig it for Kamala in 2024)
This political expert comes in mad that people think Putin is controlled by Jews. He says that in fact the neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine are Marxist and not actually Nazis and that Putin is the true Nazi (in a good way)
Another guy doesn't buy it and thinks this is just a ploy to make people think Putin isn't controlled by the Jews when he is in fact is
Someone spams pictures of Putin with Jews to prove he is part of the ZOG
A new person comes in and says maybe Putin is just doing some 4D chess by being with all these Jews
Someone else has had it with the Putin slander and thinks the Jews are inside of the thread. Clearly Putin is mega-based. Why? He built churches.
There's personal drama going on here, too, as this guy has had it with this other member longposting at him:
This same guy is also the #1 Putin defender in the thread and says Putin prevented the release of COVID 2.0 by invading Ukraine
This shit goes on for like six more pages after this, but I'm tired of screenshotting and reading this stuff, so I'll just end with this:

UraniumDonGER
: It's our drama duty to lay eggs into bongs
- 23
- 52
Basically this all starts, when this lovely wholesome video about totally underrated Biologist channel Team Candiru, about parasitic wasps laying eggs within the living bodies of caterpillar is shown.
VERY WHOLESOME FAMILY FRIENDLY
as you can imagine with such grisly morbid subjectmatter, the comments section is filled with jokes to cope about the horror of mother nature. Some inane jokes and comments are as follows.
jokes, people relating experiences, some praising the author of the video
You know, everybody having a good time, at the expense of the poor caterpillar which is the subject of our horror entertainment of the video.
AND THEN, our incredibly toughguy scottish cucks arrive when another inane innocuous comment is made
You guys get it, he's taking the piss about the fact that when British accented men with clear and handsome radio-voices are often commissioned to narrate Nature Documentaries, often many of then involving, unfortunate, gruesome and brutal natural events like Lions devouring recently born boks or whatever.
Unfortunately for the commenter, and all other non-Bongland native english-language speakers, whom are not well-versed in the various subdialects of the British Isles, the Narrator of the current video is not a blue blooded evil colonizer Englishman
and this causes seething RAGE and ANGER
for the Scotbongs in the comment section, because modern Scots want us to believe that they are still badass manly hairy-chested men, instead of the turbo p#ssies and weak meek wimps, whom are even bigger nanny state cucks than their Britbong southern neighbours,
and that they are VERY BADASS and will totally beat up outsiders
who dares to confuse them for their evil colonizer overlords!
ACTUALLY HE'S SCOTTISH, A MUCH LESS SHIT BONG
"Don't ever call him English again"
"1. It's a Scottish narrator, don't ever call an Scotsman English he'll break your nose
2. I think it's hilarious that you think there is a commentator sitting in the forest actively narrating this like it's a football match"
Now the problem is that Youtube comment threads are r-slurred and nonsensical and often doesn't display the order in which comments are made, and often only ever when comments are directed at others, this means that often are difficult to follow past the 1st 50 or so.
But even so, usually u can get the gist of arguments which popped up down a thread.
basically in this one clip, for example we had 3 different slapfights
ongoing at the same time!
The "52% of Scots voted to remain with the English though, so number 1 isn't exactly true lol" is one train of fight about how not all Scots hate england and the Independence movement and Nationalism is a joke
The "we were Lied to regarding our nations value, debt and prosperity. Had Theresa May not been a lying cow Scotland would be independent" is random sneed about Mommy May raping wingcucks further down the thread
and the "He doesn't... it's pretty hilarious that you think he does because he made a joke" comment is calling the other scots pathetic for blowing this internet tantrum
way out of proportion as the original comment was obviously an oblivious yank having made an innocuous comment!
This video was posted 4 years ago, yet the comments would continue this great debate for over a whole year lmoa.
Anyways it doesn't get anymore interesting, just constant sperging about
scotland. IS. NOT. ENGLISHHHHH

I think people are getting way too caught up with small differences in a cinematic trailer. Geralt looked different in TW3 cinematic trailers.

That's not lying. That is not by any means what lying is, nor am I lying. If you want a breakdown of the witcher series I can not tell you much besides It started as a book series, then it got taken in for games, and the games went like this1 was good2 was considered bad3 at launch was mixed but after a few patches to fix some issues people had it overall became the best one.The first 3 games lead into geralts full conclusion with ciri being established as a possible follow up to geralt.Comes witcher 4 which was now announced, and ciri is older. Witcher fans KNEW ciri had potential to be the new lead and she became all powerful with her magic. Now she is a supposed witcher and everyone wants to know how. And people are having mixed feelings on her looks, but not really cause this is the first time I have seen this sentiment show up.We been past that topic man, you seem a little lost.

No one says "who cares" to someone and not expect it to be taken offensively. If you find that to be a perfectly sound, civil answer, then I must say you really are the kind of person you're being accused of being, and any further discussion with you would only serve as more evidence.So let's chat, shall we?What's your problem with her reply? Why did it upset you so?You have received exactly zero attacks before I descended upon you sword in my hand. You did dish a few out yourself, though, and plenty of accusations, especially regarding other people's presumed feelings. It seems you really do believe that your opinions are factual. So, you not only seem to lack empathy, but you also don't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed.And besides, I don't care about you enough to become upset. That doesn't mean I won't call you whatever I believe you are. For me, calling people out for their true selves and watching them writhe in refusal is a twisted form of entertainment.

I'm one who probably won't buy the game on day one. I doubt I'm literally the only person on earth who feels this way. My purchase is at risk. For context ... this is one of my favorite gaming series (only 2nd behind Mass Effect) that I've played since W1 in 2007.It's anecdotal ... as someone who's played RPGs in various forms for decades, it's hard to not notice that most people roll characters of their own gender when given the option. Take away that option ... and there's a risk folks will be less inclined to buy the game.You should be aware ... saying there's a risk doesn't imply any specific outcome is inevitable. So I'm not entirely certain what you think I'm here to "prove". (1)

There is a YouTube channel I watch that goes through hours of body cam footage and edits it down to something that fits within my ~15 min attention span. I know most dramacels have even shorter attention spans so I edited it down further into a 3 minute video
Here is the full video I stole the clips from:
Some amusing comments: (can't link comments on YouTube, I tried)
Some news about the trial:
Alexia Gah Gi Gay Mary Cutbank, 19, of Duluth, and Seneca Warrior Steeprock, 39, of Savage, are accused of ambushing and shooting Cameron Maurice Jones at least eight times in an apartment near Lake Avenue and West Fourth Street.
https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/new-trial-ordered-in-duluth-attempted-murder-case
The Minnesota Court of Appeals this week reversed the case of Seneca Warrior Steeprock, 43, who has been serving a statutory maximum 20-year sentence following his conviction by a Duluth jury in February 2023.
The attempt on Jones' life was believed to be connected to another Bemidji-area homicide, committed by Cutbank's brother in November 2020. The victim in that case was Charles "Chucky" Kingbird.
But according to court documents, Jones and Montana Cutbank had a "contentious history," and Jones' family believed he, not Kingbird, was the intended victim of that shooting.
I found another unrwlated homicide case involving Alexia Ga Gi Gay Mary Cutbank:
https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-alexia-gah-gi-gay-mary-cutbank-1
Funny interview with her codefendant
Background:
In August 2019, a year prior to the shooting in the video, Alexia Ga Gi Gay Mary Cutbank and her friend Mia Faye Sumner killed a man named "Fatback" on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Mia Sumner then stole Fatback's car, drove to Duluth, and was suspiciously lurking around the scene of a third, unrelated drive by shooting.
United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Alexia Gah Gi Gay Mary Cutbank (1), Mia Faye Sumner (2), Defendants.
Duluth Police Sergeant Joseph DeJesus testified that on August 20, 2019, at approximately 2:30 am, he and other police officers were investigating a drive-by shooting at the intersection of 24th Avenue West and West 3rd Street in Duluth, Minnesota. While clearing the scene, he noticed Sumner at a nearby bus shelter.
Sergeant DeJesus asked Sumner if she was high, and asked her which drug she had used. He then stated, "[o]k. Hey, relax. It's not illegal to be under the influence of meth. You know that, right? It's illegal to possess it, not to be under the influence of it."
Sergeant DeJesus: So where are you going to go in Duluth, right now?
Defendant Sumner: Home.
Sergeant DeJesus: But home [is] in Red Lake?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.
Sergeant DeJesus: So how did you get down here to Duluth?
Defendant Sumner: I stole a car.
Sergeant DeJesus: Where's the car at? Whose car did you steal?
Defendant Sumner: It was my car.
Sergeant DeJesus: You stole your car?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.
Sergeant DeJesus: But how do you steal your own car?
Defendant Sumner: It wasn't mine. . . it was cause I killed him.
Sergeant DeJesus: It was what?
Defendant Sumner: I killed Fatback.
Sergeant DeJesus: You killed Fatback?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.**
Sergeant DeJesus: And you stole his car?
Defendant Sumner: Yeah.
Sergeant DeJesus: Who's Fatback?
Defendant Sumner: I don't know
Sergeant DeJesus: How did you kill Fatback?
Defendant Sumner: With a gun.
Sergeant DeJesus: Where's the gun?
Defendant Sumner: I don't know, in Red Lake somewhere.
Sergeant DeJesus testified that he did not believe Sumner when she stated that she had stolen a car, or when she said she killed Fatback. During the pat down, he can be heard in the bodycam footage saying "she's telling me that she killed a guy in Red Lake, stole his car, and drove to Duluth, which, I find unlikely, but she's tweaking pretty [] hard here."
Sergeant DeJesus testified that it was not until the following day, August 21, 2019, at approximately 5:00 a.m., that he learned from another patrol sergeant that a homicide had occurred and was being investigated in Red Lake.

YASSSS QUEEEN let me reiterate that abortions hurt but I have no regrets and fully support them
This guy is suggesting buying bricks and hurling them at Catholics. Based or nah?

"Hand them glasses of chunky milk" huh?
Based? Finally someone pointed out Latinx are the dominant Catholic community. What does it mean, though? Will they connect the deportations with the pro-life latinx demographic?
AHHHHHH unironically gross and if you don't know they're talking about throwing a menstruation cup

The only way I'd say your girlfriend might be right is if your hygiene was lacking due to the phimosis. Noone likes an UTI given by old smegma, and then you'd need a real good plan how to address that.Other than that - time for you to find someone else to fulfill your dreams. (141)

Of course not. It's clear that her preference is "I don't want to get an infection." I can't believe how many people demonize her. One of my friends' ex had the same issue as him, and she said it stunk really bad, and she was getting infections because of it (this never happened with other bfs she had). Ultimately, she left because of this (149)

Skeleton Crew has the lowest viewing numbers of all the Star Wars shows, despite being better than pretty much all other shows not named Andor. And then speaking of Andor, it's viewership was similarly poor when compared to The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Kenobi, Boba Fett, and the rest of the "let's smash SW toys together" slop.
Thank goodness Andor was secured as 2 season out of the gate or we'd never get a Season 2. So that begs the question, why do you reject actually good Star Wars but the eat up the slop and complain about it after? Are you really only pleased with cheap nostalgia? Do you need a Skywalker shoved into every story? Must we be stuck in Empire v. Rebels for eternity?
You are enjoying it wrong, I bet this nerd uses the term Media Literacy.
Franchises like Star Wars or Marvel cannot forever rest on their laurels. There has to be an urgency to make the best content at every opportunity. The fall currently happening is not the result of just The Acolyte. Star Wars has been stumbling more often than not over the last few years and each stumble erodes the trust in the brand. You can't suddenly re-establish the trust in one move.
They have years of rebuilding ahead of them and hopefully the leadership is reassessing what works well and what doesn't.
I gave up on watching every Star Wars show long ago. And that premise for Skeleton Crew just didn't seem that interesting. Most of the recent Star Wars shows besides Andor have been mid at best so there just didn't seem to be any need to check this out.
You can really tell the Disney shill money has run out as this is upmarseyd
They ruined Star Wars!
You Star Wars fans are a contentious people
YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!
I know its just reddit humor that gets repeated ad nauseum but its kind of nice seeing people make fun of OP.
They ruined Star Wars!
In the eighties and nineties I was probably in the top 10 percent of SW fans. Slowly fell back the curve with the second and third trilogy.
The Disney puked out so much content I can barely remember all the shows and movies names. Part of the story is in cartoons, part in games. I just can't keep up with SW and life with 24 hours per day.
The original feeling has been diluted, some content is better than other but certainly different from what was back then. So yes nostalgia is certainly a factor for me.
Every time there's scarcity of what I love, I wait with anticipation and once the moment arrives I try to enjoy every second of it. That's not the case anymore with SW, so I just wait and if I eventually start noticing a lot of positive comments about something, I got it. Happened with Andor and Rogue one.
It kinda feels like you are ignoring the absolute plethora of Star Wars content released after the Originals and how many duds and downright awful stuff was in there.
People love to put on rose colored glasses when looking back, but it's really not been any different except for the existence of social media.
In some ways it was easier to keep up and no one expected you to read everything.
The problem is advertising and marketing. Which is a problem that isn't going to be remedied by your rent here.
Yeah OP is just preaching to the choir here
Theres a large percentage of people in this sub that openly admit they haven't watched anything since season 1 of Mando.
So? You can still be a Star Wars fan and not watch every bit of content released, maybe they just really like the movies or the first trilogy, etc. It seems divisive to act like the Disney+ shows are required watching to call yourself a Star Wars fan.
Must consume slop
Oh also I'm responsible for the lack of marketing this show had for the casual public.
I'm truly sorry, sw is failing because of us, not the bad management of the franchise by Lucasfilm.
All we're asking is for you to eat multiple shit sandwiches and say how good the bread is.
asking? No, OP and Disney are DEMANDING.
How dare you turn your back on these shit sandwiches, you're not a true S(hit)W(ich) fan
Nobody hates a ShitWich as much as a true SW fan.
Yeah I am burned out on Star Wars media. I really don't care if this one is great or whatever, I am done with Disney's shitty handling of the IP.
Sorry guys, we are responsible for all of this
My thoughts exactly. I used to read all the books, comics, listen to the audio dramas…
Now I just don't care anymore.
After the awful string of BOBF-Kenobi-Mando season 3-acolyte (excluding bad batch, andor, and some of the tales series), I was ready to put down live action Star Wars for a bit. The word of mouth was so good from my irl friends, especially from my friends who've really soured in the franchise, that I was pleasantly surprised when the kid-centered suburban space goonies show was thoroughly entertaining. Disney did this to Lucasfilm through poor management, there's no reason Skelton crew should be as good as it is when they phoned in their cash cow of modern Star Wars of Mando season 3
Why is everyone saying this. Specifically this. What about Ahsoka? Are you leaving it out bc you liked it or bc it's forgettable.
As far as I'm concerned the only thing wrong so far was the Acolyte. If you removed Leslie, Amanda, and all them space witches. And Had Qimir as the villain with Plageus as his master that would have been amazing.
Andor A+ Bad Batch A+ BoBF B+ Kenobi B Mando S3 B- Ahsoka B- Acolyte D
I'd call that oversaturated. Regardless of the quality. If these covered 8 to 10 years we wouldn't be complaining as much. We have too much frame of reference
Lmao most of what you listed is a C at best, cmon dude
For a bunch of turbo nerds who talk about Star Wars on Reddit they are surprisingly sane.
What are they going to do, not watch the show? j/k
Seriously though, Disney has done a pretty terrible job of promoting things lately. Whatever the current Sar Wars/MCU show is, should always be front and center on Disney+. I already know about it and it's still annoying to have to tab through 4-5 pages of other shows before I can find it.
Even on the top of the page where it scrolls they always have skeleton crew as the 4th or 5th tab. The finale was the only time they had it up front.
Had to ruin that warm fuzzy feeling I was having with that j/k
Poor Star Wars is responsible for me not watching Skeleton Crew.
Frick outta here with this bullshittery.
Op is literally the consume product meme
Disney produced so much "slop" that people got tired of it and didn't bother to watch the newer stuff. The same thing happened with the MCU.
You say that, but the next time some slop with a flashy lightsaber or a recognizable character comes out people are going to go watch it.
I mean, Acolyte's viewership was also dismal (just not quite as bad).
The only way to save Star Wars is for Disney's projects to all flop long enough for them to put everything on pause and take a long, hard, self-evaluation. Even making mediocre shows, which would be an improvement, will not bring the disillusioned fans back.
Fair point at least with the final numbers it was very small. I'm not arguing against the idea that the TV show content has not been very good. It's certainly hard to motivate people to watch the good stuff and encourage Disney to keep making more of it when there is a lot of cheap and bad stuff, too. It does seem the fan base gets divided. I prefer more Andor-like stuff, but a fair amount of people don't want "adult Star Wars" or Star Wars without lightsabers. I would love it if the good shows got rewarded while the mediocre shows didn't, but outside of some shows most people seem very divided on reception.
Yes, at the cost of the long-term future of the franchise. Fewer and fewer people will see it each time some slop like this comes out, and eventually no matter how many original characters or fancy graphics or space battles will ever fix it.
Who did? It's a children's show made for children to watch without parents, so there isn't even any cheeky humor you'd expect of a family watch show.
Also Disney are barely putting any money into advertising it, since they have a bias against spending money on advertising original content.
Now that the word r-slur is coming back into vogue, I hope calling OP a comes back. Also I swear we had a marsey that was just a pile of brown sticks with the marsey face on it.
Like it or not, the majority of star wars fans like action and light saber battles. Disney's streaming model is flawed, it only counts viewership and not audience reception. It's not possible to make back their budgets when we are already paying a monthly fee to get everything. That isn't our fault, it's theirs. An obscure show set in the Star Wars universe is not going to pull the number of eyeballs a show about Obi-Wan Kenobi is, and it's dumb to expect it to. Some of this stuff needs to be allowed to be small and build a fanbase of dedicated fans, rather than everything needing to have an unsustainable amount of views.
As soon as streaming services figure out how to charge us for "premium" content it'll be game over for getting the entire library for one price.
If that was profitable they's have already done it
Exactly, I don't care how good something ends up being I'm not jumping through multiple paywalls to access it.
Maybe they can build places where we can gather and watch the premium content on a giant screen. They could sell us popcorn and soda and make even more money on concessions.
I don't think Orange Man could cure redditors of not being funny, but he does seem to be curing them of sucking off slop.
Poor quality Star Wars fims and oversaturation of low quality Star Wars shows is the reason for low viewership. Movies need to be great to pull the masses in and retain existing fanbase and the shows need to be consistently high quality with more time between them.
They need to pull back for a little while and come back strong.
SW fatigue is very real, we are at the stage where people like me who would normally tune in are overwhelmed with a sense of apathy. Right now, my interest is the lowest it's ever been
There is no coming back from the sequel trilogy. No matter what they do, Luke will still die a pathetic hermit who used too much of the force to create a hologram
The Last Jedi is good, and Luke's arc is good.
We're just going to keep pretending that a guy in a religion of peace using such immense power to project himself across space to kick someone's butt without actually resorting to violence is bad, I guess.
Or that, after learning all about this religion of peace, got disillusioned with it after learning how shitty and hypocritical the Jedi were is bad, I guess.
Religion of Peace? I don't remember him driving a truck through a Christmas Market.
People are starting to tap out. Can't blame anyone but Disney.
No it's your fault for not consuming the slop!
Disney is responsible for poor Star Wars. I can only imagine how much more money they'd be making if they actually handled it properly from the beginning.
I really don't get the logic. Shouldn't it be the studio's responsibility to get fans interested in the project?
Can't wait for the "get mad at the fans" meta to be retired.
Hey don't you want to watch book of boba Fett season 4 to see what happened to the glorf plotline in the acolyte season 2 featuring a character from the mandalorian season 4 who just entered in from Ashoka season 1??? Wait why are you running away I didn't explain how this really ties in to Reys childhood!
Disney fricked up when the Star Wars fans who regularly post to a star wars subreddit are making fun of them.
Really there isn't much drama, I just wanted to make fun of the OP for being the embodiment of

Do you hear that sound? The creaking and groaning? That was the sound of all of the people who played this game 30 years ago rising from their coffin to defend its honor.
I don't think it is worth it gramps as this game has aged so poorly it should be laid to rest with you. And I'm not just talking about the graphics or overall polish, there is barely even a game there.
There are almost no decisions to make in terms of your build. Almost optimal stat choices can be described in anywhere from a sentence to a word depending on which one of the 3 classes you chose (hint the magic user puts points into magic). Even the fights barely have you making any decisions. Early levels with the warrior have you sitting in a doorway wacking who ever comes in range while later levels have you chugging potions because dodging is 100% impossible. Playing a mage is more interesting as you have a sizable selection of spells but half of them are just Blast Baddie Fire or Blast Baddie Ice and you just find which one is better and stick with that.
The one place where user choice does come into play is the itemization. You get many different magic items throughout the game which can have pretty interesting upsides. Its not perfect and it definitely doesn't make up for the rest of the game though.
That isn't to say the game is all bad. The visuals aren't perfect but some of the enemies have pretty cool death animations. But even the best of this game isn't especially good, there are hundreds of games that have better visuals, fallout 1 is a good example of another sprite based isometric game that looks much better.
Also the Sorcerer is BIPOC, DEI much?
