Oh good, I don't have to worry about figuring out how to disable this.

None of that gives an explanation of the Force in any way that removes the magical nature of it. Obi-wan just says it's magic, and the midiclorians are magic microbes that let special people use magic. There's still no pretense that this is a scientific advancement, just flavors of magic.

Ha, I felt the opposite. When I started seeing how cheap water is (where I live) I couldn't believe my parents complained so much about an extra $1.50 a month.

Typical POS behavior.

While that happening, there are also TIE bombers flying past dropping bombs on them.

Quote the script where someone explains the science of how the Force works. A lightsaber is a special magic sword that can only be made by a space wizard using their magic on a special crystal. It's magic with a futuristic flavor, that doesn't make it science fiction.

Because it's cheap and looks scary. The Empire controls through fear and perceived power, not actual technological superiority. Stormtroopers primary job is to suppress dissent in civilian populations, they generally aren't fighting an opposing army.

Magic swords and magic powers are exactly what makes it fantasy. I cannot imagine a worse example to pick for your point.

You need to stop doing that yesterday. That's literally what this meme is making fun of. The issue isn't difficulty cleaning, of course it comes off. The issue is putting huge amounts of fat in your drains or septic system that will lead to massive problems down the line.

Yeah, most families where I live keep a grease jar. You don't throw it out, bacon fat stays good for months, it's like a little tub of Crisco but a thousand times better tasting.

They both are. Both agreements can be terminated for any reason. Larion's says nothing that would prevent them from terminating the agreement, it only clarifies that the signer can. There's no real difference here.

Have you ever cooked bacon? That's about the only grease I've known folks to save. Maybe some from ground beef if you're cooking up a whole lot.

A set of principles of behavior. A concept of actions that are acceptable within the social group, and actions that are not.

Elephants are animals with long memories, complex social structures, and even elaborate mourning rituals. It would not surprise me at all to find they have their own set of rules for being accepted into the herd.

I certainly wouldn't discount the possibility. They unquestionably have empathy. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they have spirituality too.

All evidence we have demonstrates morality has existed in our species as long as we have existed in groups. This leads me to believe that morality was a catalyst to a unified diverse spirituality that took a very long time to agree on, and we still don't agree on it.

See, it's the same when you swap them around. When both morality and spirituality exist throughout all of written history, how can you make any claim of causality? I think spirituality is a natural extension of morality, as people began to establish collective morals, spirituality and ritual can be used to spread and reinforce ideas.

And the idea that empathy isn't inherent is wildly ignorant. Mirror neurons are a fundamental part of our brains, suggesting empathy is taught is like claiming taste is. People are taught what to do with their empathy. Whether to embrace it or ignore it. Hell, look at any of the hundreds of examples of empathy in animals. It's not even exclusive to vertebrates, much less civilization.

I do you one better: fries suck.

They're the worst form of potato, any other form of cooking is superior.

You're inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.

Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.

Honestly I don't know why I'm bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.

And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you're dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?

I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don't have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren't convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.

The hypocrisy of claiming that you can't judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you've never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.

Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.

Deleting my post is violation of freedom of speach.

Repeating it doesn't make it true. Sorry, but that's simply not what the first amendment is about. 'Freedom of speech' means you can't be arrested for a YouTube comment criticizing our glorious Cheeto (yet). It does not grant you control over the content other people choose to publish to private websites.

These spaces are not free, public spaces, and they have never been. Stop living in this fantasy world. Twitter is not a town square, it's Elon's private club and he can do whatever the hell he wants. The only thing I can do is choose not to use it, and focus on sites run by people I'd rather support.
