Pretty sure anyone living in these solar systems. Considers their star to suck.

I imagine all the parties are pretty lame.

Sounds like you can still get pulled by a black hole though!

Pulling, when done well, can be as nice and effective as sucking, and I’m sure black holes have a lot of experience in pulling things.

Ok… so…

  • Pull you in with the power of gravity

Does not ‘suck’ you in with the power of a vacuum…

About right?

You fall into gravity wells, they don’t suck you.

Best way to understand is to get the mental image of spacetime as a 3d sheet like grid, where each object pushes down on it and creates a pit, or well. The bigger the object the deeper the well, and the more force you will need to stop yourself from sliding towards the object and propelling yourself back up the slope.
