# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)
Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

Literally every writer in the present day wants to rip off Marvel goyslop by adding "Muh infinite timelines and universes" into their stories.

"It is popular so we will copy it."

From an objective standpoint, introducing "Muh infinite everything" is like introducing time travel into a plot:

It makes the story feel like worthless goyslop, and also insipid due to how much it gets copied now.

"There are infinite versions of everything, so we can revive and re-hash anything that happens! Here is a version of this character from a universe where he has pink hair, here is version of him from a universe where he is actually a girl, here is a version of him from a universe where he is a nigger!"

You cannot escape this insipid goyslop. Literally the only reason it seems to exist is so that they can sell more toys. Just print the same action figure but with the color palette changed so they can sell more toys with less effort to be unique.

Good stories end. Things like time travel and alternate/infinite realties ensure that the writers can just keep things going on forever because they can endlessly re-hash old plots, bring back dead characters, ect.

It hurts actual story telling. It removes the stakes if every character has infinite echoes and thus can be revived ad nauseum.

There was a time when time travel and "muh infinite everything" were unique ideas.

HG Wells "The time machine" and the HP Lovecraft story where everything is revealed to be an echo of a greater self, which means everything is a reflection of Yog-Sothoth.

But now all nuance is gone because it got copied too many times to be unique. Now it has lost all uniqueness.

Marvel has "muh infinite everything", but i stopped watching movies long ago so whatever. Dungeons and Dragons decided to put "muh infinite everything" in recently, and we all know how faggotized DND has become, sadly. Another big example would be that certain goyslop cartoon that I will not even mention by name due to how soy it is.

DR Who is another example of a goyslop show that added time travel and "Muh infinite timelines" for the sole purpose of dragging their shekel cow out for as many seasons as possible.

Animorphs may have been one of the earlier examples of a story incorporating both time travel and multiverses, just so they could stretch that book series out for as long as they could, but I actually like Animorphs. It felt more unique when they did it, and unlike the examples above, Animorphs eventually ended.

All good stories must end, after all.

Anyway, what do you guys think?

Is anyone else wary of the insipid goyslop story telling in the modern age?

It feels so.... copy paste, no?

No matter how small or large the engagement is, every conscious effort counts. Some transactions are harder than others, ie. a last minute taxi, or getting fuel. Every petrol station where I am already is infested with a pajeet, just as every taxi driver, is either a streetshitter, or a low IQ goat raping sand nigger. I've seen businesses close down that these pajeets take over. Or a goat raping halal butcher shop close down because nobody goes in it. Same goes with companies that decide to use sand niggerland or pajeet land to manufacture clothing, do not support these mother fuckers. Sure, your money is likely part of the baby foreskin eating subhuman jew economy, but that's another subject altogether. Never make these bioweapons feel welcome, nor partake in any activity that supports the spread of this plague.
