[@jonathanwells223]

Well no, if you want to abduct, torture and brutally murder a toddler you can damn well go out and do it. So either our simulation is really fucked up or it’s not a simulation. It’s happened before and it can happen again: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Bulger

[@ananousous]

@@jonathanwells223 But that only shows that there are some people scripted to murder and do heinous crimes within the simulation. For all we know, if Syntaxus tried to do the same, all of their attempts would fail That's also assuming they could even get that far in the attempt. The 1s and 0s that make up their "conscience/will" might force them to perceive the thought alone as too sickening to even consider But tbh, I don't know if I really buy into all of that stuff

[@Brettjnash]

[@Jedislayer19]

@@jonathanwells223 I think that's the cosmic horror right there- it IS a fucked up simulation. Or... and this is way worse... it isn't so much that the simulation is fucked up, but that whatever designed and is running the simulation is so far beyond what humans can understand that it feels NOTHING for us. We are so small, our suffering so miniscule, that it can't even begin to see us as equals. Everybody wants to think God loves them, or hates them, or anything in between. What if the truth is that God doesn't even fucking think about us.

I like these two Troopers because their self aware of the fact that they are in a television show, which they are the losers. We get to watch them realize and have a conversation about the fact they're in a simulation they can't even shoot a simple can. It's not the fact they're lazy, it's the fact they can't shoot the target. Even if they do leave the baby behind, they will be killed. Either way by someone of the Mandalorian cast or by the empire for betraying their orders. This is why I like this particular episode.
