Oh no, we have better! B&N with a Starbucks inside!! Oh my geez, I swear, I live one day out of the month in there. And right next to it is a whole shopping mall with a food court that has Taco Bell!!
And as a non-driver, the bestest best part? It’s on a bus route.
I’m not sure it’s anonymity. I honestly think there’s just some mental block when he’s typing. I imagine he’s honestly trying to be friendly, doesn’t see his posts about the Light or Xe’ra as influenced by his religion, so on and so forth.
If some one harps on that - which it seems they will, since you did - maybe Vader is sort of nascent, now. Like a newborn. Learning to walk and use his body and the Force and his suit.
If they make some scenes building that up. Where secretly, he is almost a child again, and learning as a Sith to use his new body.
Or, maybe that could be explained as Vader’s perception of himself. As a learner. Because he was learning about the Dark Side. So he could view himself as a learner for 10 seasons and fight Obi Wan a few times, and still see himself as the learner. But by the time they meet again on the Death Star, he has viewed himself as a master.
I think he’s suspicious or paranoid. One of his first posts came across very like “if i post my true thoughts here I will get ridiculed” and then it snowballed from there because he was already on the defensive. it seems like he’s used to having to defend his irl faith from criticism, and it’s become almost like a defence mechanism for him. He reuses deflection tactics he knows works, and he’s just hoping we all get tired of arguing. I am tired of arguing. One of the biggest drawbacks of engaging with Thadeus is you are not going to get an honest reply, you are just going to get his defensiveness.
One of the staples of good communication and debate is being able to change your opinion when presented with new information that changes your opinion. Thadeus digs his feet down further in the mud and won’t budge. There’s a stubbornness about him… I wonder if he’s a Taurus.
Cursewords aesthetic has big Aquarius vibes, but he also has Sagittarius vibes, Sag only because he had a very unfiltered way of just cutting to the point.
Evelysaa radiates Capricorn, f around and find out energy.
And beer. Kombucha for the nonbeerers, but since drinking beer is now work related, I can happily confirm we have some world class breweries and a few really good non alcoholic soda/booch joints to boot.
(This is late but I was included.)
Also fish, moose steaks, and bear sausage, but that feels less exciting somehow.
When I was a nipper, we were too poor for store meat.
I grew up on moose and when I finally got hold of some cow steak at college, it tasted funny.
I’m more or less a sophisticated urbanite who partakes in the bovine meat these days, but I still maintain moose tastes more right. Especially in stroganoff.
I’m out here, still mining in Outland to level a skill I will never use again, and all I keep thinking is “but what does moose steak even taste like and can I get it around here becausde I need that in my life”.
I am indeed a Sagittarius. I am not super into astrology but I know a little bit. People who are more knowledgeable about it have told me I am like the textbook example of a Sagittarius, in almost every way. And I have to admit, the descriptions fit me. And you could guess it. (Well, your second guess).
Like beef, but kind of drier and the way that birch bark smells.
…Now, more of the exciting things I ate up on the North Slope (a few get traded to me for fish to this day). Seal oil, for example, is kinda nutty and pretty much the best thing you can dip your crackers into. Fermented bowhead blood actually makes a delicious sauce like A-1.
Walrus is, according to my personal preference, a terrible thing that should actually never be eaten because the texture is terrible and the taste is worse.
I’m’a need you to figure out a place for me to stay, because I need to go to this foreign land you live in and try all of this. I’m not even a big foodie. I like my food normal sized, and I’m not very particular about it (contrary to what everyone IRL may think!!!). But these words you put together that do not go together sound delightful.
I want them and need them. Starting with moose steak with some bowhead blood sauce (also, what is a bowhead? Fish? Snake? Yeti? Sasquash? I do not know the animal life up there.)
Whale. Fermented whale blood. Miquiak (pronounced phonetically, I have no idea how to spell it). For the marine mammal consumption, you’ll need native friends.
…I’d say come up this summer, but this tourist season is already looking nuts and my least favorite cruise ship is coming back. The one where they called us for a cardiac patient, then wouldn’t let our patient leave even though we had him on a gurney AND THEY CALLED US, because they couldn’t find his passport. In the rain. With his tiny wife shivering beside him. That was also my first cruise ship ambulance call. It did not set a positive tone.
