Say what you will, the lightsaber app was cool and definitely worth $0.99 to get custom colors.

That would make sense! When I first read about it, my mind went to something the size of a collectible model that you’d put on a table or shelf. But the model for the movie probably was much larger than that to allow a great level of detail to be seen in the movies.

Ugh, I love these movies so much, haha.

Because your top level comment makes sense while the rest of your replies devolved into a caps-locked crash out. Now I’m more convinced you’re 14.

He’s clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.

So here’s my take on this, because I’ve seen similar personalities make similar pivots.

This guy is a disgusting, bumbling idiot, but he speaks with certainty and condescension. The curious onlooker will see him, get trapped by the mindset you describe (“oh man, this guy’s a trainwreck, let’s see how much worse off he is than me”), find it funny and continue watching.

After establishing some sort of “trust” with the audience (“I’m a big dumb idiot who makes you laugh”) he pulls out the manipulative speech. “You’d have to be stupid to-”; “this guy’s a retard!”; “It doesn’t make any sense”, etc. Once you get to this part of the steam, you’ve already established that the dude’s an idiot, but you also think he’s funny. You’re faced with the decision to either laugh along with his “jokes”, or “accept” that this buffoon is “more educated” on a topic than you are. The fragile, uninformed audience these people are after are much more likely to go the latter route.

I don’t think they said farming was fun, and I’m also not sure that you lived on a farm “before people started measuring time” 🤷🏾‍♂️
14 year olds when they see someone criticizing their lifestyle:
Did you edit the title to remove that she’s related to him? I thought I saw it in the title but now it’s gone.
If anyone else is curious like I was, the Tower of Orthanc was made using a small model and scaling it up into a CGI scene. It’s unlikely ~ents~ trees were harmed in great number to achieve the shots.
Ah, I think it means to keep it away from children 😅 but you also shouldn’t burn babies with them either.
Thanks for reminding me of this guy. I lost him up my butthole.
