  oh they’ll figure it out real quick when these bots get pwned and become malware vectors against the data centers they’re ‘protecting’

  at least with the china she’s already getting out the dishes. with the plastic, I have no idea how long it would take to strip the furniture, but it’s not a quick process lol. it was so strange.

  You always knew houses with smokers and without. Hit you walking in the door and put a sepia tint on reality - walls, popcorn ceiling, all kinds of shit. But what kids today will never know:

  Plastic covered furniture. People covered their couches and easy chairs with plastic. it was wild.

  Google it, people had fitted plastic covers made for all their furniture. I don’t know if anyone ever took the covers off “oh the pope is coming over let’s go all out” attitude but it was a distinct thing.

  the smell of all those pelts would gag an asteroid maggot.

  nah, it’s all ‘recovered’ imperial hardware - fuck they had AT-ATs and AT-STs all over the place, bet some some of the power modules or turbolasers could fetch some credits. and you have a ready, motivated recovery crew with the ewoks.

  but get it quick, the remnants of that space station are going to deorbit rapidly and uh, sorry endor-ians, war is hell and all
