Does anyone remember eatpoo.com?
It was an art forum but super edgy and toxic. They would be horrible to any new artist and if they didn't improve quickly, they would continue to bully. They would even do the lolcow thing with some people. They hated deviantart because they felt it was too soft.
It was also populated with professional artists from the games/movies industry. So you would have these industry leads shitting on literal children for drawing poorly.
I know a few of them splintered and started conceptart.org, which tried to be more professional about it. But the owner and his friends used it to grift. Eventually the owner (who started a production art company an used the site for recruiting) got accused of being a creep. I just remember their attitudes and the way they would present themselves like rockstars.
Anyways, I saw someone mention SomethingAwful and it got me thinking about all the old forums from the 00s that, in retrospect, were fucking horrible.
Also LUElinks. That was more like right on
One of the beauties is that all the Star Wars stuff like Jedi, Sith, lightsabers, chosen ones, the force, etc are all missing from the show. The only thing you will see is the Death Star, but it's brief. It focuses on the politics between working class, rebels, and the Empire's version of CIA/FBI/DHS. There is also a little bit of "we must pass the Senate bill" type political stuff too. Since it's an undetermined past in a galaxy far, far away, they can freely borrow from real history without worrying about chronology. They mix a bunch of different elements like young Stalin, Cuban Revolution, Nicaragua, Manhattan Project, Battle of Blair Mountain/Coal Wars, all at the same time. Plus since they can just hop on a ship and go to another planet, real geography is no obstacle. There is a Nazi Invasion of France planet and a modern day American midwest planet where immigrants workers are harassed by space ICE.
No shit. They're going to delay it to 2027 too, I guarantee it.

He's going to make soldiers fold napkins and wash dishes for Andre Rush.
The only way he could get more than 2,000 people to show up is to order them using the power of the office.
Judeo-Christians, popularly known for not celebrating power, manliness, conquest, ego, fame, competitiveness and prowess.
Spider France, spider kinder egg, space espresso (somehow involves spiders).
Huffing stolen space gasoline before hitting the countryside with the gang while the cops chase false intel.
Look, if I want weather I'll just watch youtube storm chasers.
opportunistic eaters who always take the opportunity.
I saw a video of these guys eating 10 chicken bakes at costco in 1 hour and all I could think was how satanic that was.
A lot of mistakes.
I think it's on purpose because Andor can't have a real anti-fascist, anti-empire message if Darth Vader is present. In the dynamics of real empire, Vader should be some kind of manager/general like Krenic. He can't be a 6'-4" cyborg who is the best at being a pilot and the strongest magic space warlock to ever exist. The foundational narrative of Star Wars is about how empires are created by bad people who are indoctrinated by magic space warlocks. This message was driven so far deep in the lore that literal space genes cause people to be almost deterministically evil or good. You can't be materially anti-empire when the empire is actually magic. Being a revolutionary against empire means something and it's not waiting for the prophecy of a good guy with magic space genes to save us all.
The best thing Andor can do is forget the Skywalker bullshit, pretend it doesn't exist, and flesh out the Empire as being founded in material exploitation. That is something they have been doing so far. If Andor has to go find a magic Jedi mcguffin or protect the royal space gene bloodline, it's cooked. Luckily we know how this ends so they don't have much room for that bullshit.
There's an entire cottage industry of music that is made specifically for tik tok and youtube shorts.
Sharing water filtration is woke bullshit. We need $6000 personal water filtration plants in every home instead. Why should I pay $30 a month for community water filtration? It doesn't even have a salesman to come out and tell me how smart I am for a few hours a month. That $30 certainly doesn't buy the ultra x dudefilter that guarantees no seed oils or vaccines in my drinking water.
This is not even getting into the fact that it's my goddamn right to dump paint down the drain if I'm paying $30 a month!
"You deserve it. You deserve that and much more"
WTF based?!
They used to have to build a fleet of ships, sail for months, and then hold territory to be able to do this. Now some person behind a desk changes a parameter.
