I didn’t know about until I discovered Australia’s small yet impressive film industry after watching The Magician and the rabbit hole just got deeper from there. Scott Ryan is a pretty talented actor/director.

It’s like part of me wants to follow MLK’s way of doing things but then 5 minutes later it’s “welp. Guess we’re doing it Malcom X’s way instead.” Then I have to sit there and remind myself that violence only begets violence and sooner or later history will look back and say “nobody remembers why the fighting started, just that it did and that it’s been going ever since.”

And extreme toxicity to the point that it drives everyone away from them so they just start with some Olympic level mental gymnastics to explain why it’s not their fault people hate them.

To quote one of my favorite shows (Mr Inbetween): “I don’t answer questions.” - Ray Shoesmith.

Mans got 2 braincells fighting for 3rd place and they’re both losing.

It would temporarily redeem him. Temporarily. Until he opened his mouth again.

I wanna see a cage match between Joe Rogan and Alex Jones where they beat the hell out of each other while debating screaming incoherently.

Reminds me of that scene from Castlevania between the Bishop and the Demon. You can guess who’s who.

“My life’s work, was in his name!”

“Your life’s work makes him puke.”

Kudzu already beat you to it.

“pray for peace, prepare for war.” As they say.

You’re probably right. I’m just “huffing copium” as the kids say I guess. Already bad enough struggling with anxiety and depression this whole ordeal just exacerbates it so I’m doing what I can to not be completely defeatist/doomer about it. Keyword is trying. So far I’m not doing so hot.

Hence why I say that I’m not sold on the idea that they will be coming back… Cautious optimism maybe but I won’t be holding my breathe.

Guess it just depends on the audience. When I was deployed and the power went out for 4 hours we (about a dozen of us) had a several hour long debate on who the most talented porn star was. For some that’s not a weird conversation, for others… Yea they probably think we’re insane.

That’s the part where I’m divided. On the one hand, I understand that they basically have to strip the website down to the basic foundation then rebuild it. On the other hand… I’m not entirely sold that when it returns it will have all of the things it once had. Only time will tell I guess.
