Is this true though? Don't many liberals support Israel? Are there actual polls that show Biden would benefit from taking a stance against Israel? Genuinely asking.

These threads are always interesting. On one hand, fuck capitalism and fuck corporations. Prices have fucking skyrocketed and it feels like we're legitimately on the brink of some sort of economic collapse.

On the other hand, y'all really been eating out every day for lunch? That shit has always been many times more expensive than making your own lunch.

“Useless red circle” is there to accommodate both the shitty eyesight and impatience of older generations who have been accustomed to everything being handed to them on a silver platter.

Generalizing generations is fucking stupid.

Damn this was super informative and really well written.

I mean, car centric design is less safe than human centric design. You're safer when there's more people around.

Any conservatives seeing this thread are having all of their conspiracy theories validated.

Am I the only one thinks his videos got stale after a while? Feels like the exact same video every single time but with different characters.

Damn good for you. I fucking hate being wrong, hurts me to my gut. I blame my childhood.

But muh free market

Spending all that time and money setting up my homeserver is looking better and better every day...

I was anticipating this response and you're entirely correct. I'm happy you enjoy thinking about Star Wars lore and I shouldn't be shaming anyone for having fun. I shouldn't feel embarrassed and I understand that that is a character flaw and something I should work on.

Aside from that, there is this feeling of confusion and frustration that I think has some validity, but which doesn't necessarily justify me being a dick online about it. I think my frustration is that Star Wars has a specific meaning to me which is very different from what it has become today, and it's frustrating watching the "original meaning" get washed away in a sea of merch and fan theories. I know it's stupid to hold a specific interpretation as the correct one and try to force that on others, but I hope you can at least empathize with the feeling of watching something you like morph into something completely unrecognizable.

To me, Star Wars is trilogy of corny action adventure movies with a cast of quirky characters set in a fantastical but ultimately very shallow universe. A trilogy that revolutionized the VFX industry and brought fantasy into the mainstream. I feel alone in viewing the ip this way, I feel alone in thinking Rogue One was a boring lifeless husk of a movie that no epic battle scenes could redeem.

I assume take pleasure in sharing your love of Star Wars fan with other fans and that's more or less what I'm after I think. I'm sorry for being a dick about it.

It's all ones and zeroes factorio once you get to the bottom.

Conversely: Stop overthinking Star Wars. I get that people love the universe but the movies are straight up just not deep at all.

They are stealthy enough that an ordinary hunting party can sneak up on an elite Rebel strike force (including a Jedi).

Are we really pretending George was thinking about this while making Jedi? Like in a script review some young guy pipes up: Hey George, how do the Ewoks sneak up on Luke when he has force powers? And George calmly explains, "Well son, Ewoks may look cute but they are actually deadly hunters with expert tracking and stealth skills"

The Ewoks win against the empire because the script says they do. It looks stupid because they are children/(dwarves?) in costumes who can probably barely see what's going on.

I know I'm being a major grump but reading these comments make my eyes roll out of my sockets. It's like watching art critics fawn over an 8 year old's painting because they've been told it's a picasso.

I say all this as someone who enjoys the OT but finds it increasingly embarrassing to admit to having any interest in the property.

80% of the game being made is definitely a stretch. The engine and many assets were there but they still had to build the world and populate it, that in itself is a gargantuan task. Call it DLC if you want but it's a fully fledged story with a full game's worth of content and deserved to be full price.

Anti-trans Pierre Pollievre? The same Pierre Pollievre who opposed a tax change only affecting the richest 0.13% of Canadians each year?

Rogue One is bad. Fight me reddit, I mean lemmy.

Is bar soap really considered old fashioned now?

Teach your children why it is inappropriate to do business with or keep relationships with conservatives

Dude this is some wack shit and solves nothing.

To be fair in my experience manuals have almost always been next to useless.

Pretty sure there is a meme about them looking the same.
