My dumb ass went "shblivd" for like a minute before I figured it out
AND THIS TIME, HE'S GOT A BRAND. NEW. PLAN.
Wouldn't be the dumbest thing in the canon.
Yes, this comes from a short story set during the period when C3P0 is wandering the desert - he stops to talk to the Almighty Sarlacc and it explains its position:
«So you keep calling me the almighty Sarlacc, which feels a bit cheeky, to be honest. Absolutely nobody has ever bothered to ask my opinion about anything before, and you keep feeding people to me without my consent. How exactly am I all-powerful?» ―The sarlacc, to C-3PO
No, they're the same sarlacc (the Almighty Sarlacc)
As seen in the films it would still consume meat - it just did not do it by choice.
(don't hurt me, I didn't write it)
Alas no, this is real.
IIRC the canon explanation actually kinda makes sense; While the grab-and-eat reflex is subconscious for a sarlacc, this particular sarlacc was a strict vegetarian and was fighting the reflex to consume Lando (and others) whenever they were thrown in; with the ship it was not trying to restrain itself since it was acting primarily in self defense.
so you're trying to find a... conservative safe space. Lmfao get off lemmy if thats the best trolling you can think up.
For some additional context: Pashto and Persian are the official languages of the Taliban government. There is a great deal of linguistic drama the region right now, as the Taliban has been strongly favoring Pashto over Persian which has caused seious problems for persian-language speaking groups, which the majority of Afghan christians belong to.
While I have no idea what the context is specifically around the bible in the image, the taliban has been accused of forcing Pashto religious texts and schooling materials on persian-speaking communities in an act that has been described as cultural erasure. It's an extremely complex topic - however OOP is a notorious alt right "war tourist" who has "hung out" with the taliban government in the past so I suspect he is advocating in favor of this process (but I admit I didn't look too hard into his comments on this because I just can't do that to my psyche right now).

The true magic key to open any door is a harness and backpack with networking tools and a lot of apologizing. I have talked my way backstage at a comical number of events and facilities by claiming to be the on-call networking tech here to fix the wifi. Admittedly that was almost always true - but nobody knew that because who the fuck in facilities actually knows how to communicate with the staff. Even when I was stopped just going "I'm super sorry, I need to get in there to waves tablet, can you please tell me who can let me in" literally has never not worked.
... I only ever abused this a couple of times to show off to people. Honestly barely worth it, being backstage is hands down the worst way you can experience a show and being front of house means you have to field endless questions from attendees and the staff will get sus if you're not looking busy. But getting to wander around utility tunnels is always fun, and being up on the roof of some buildings can be wild.
