If you remember the first season. Andor was a merc who did the Aldani job for payment. That's why Luthin wanted to kill him; he wasn't a rebel, but he had a head full of rebel intel.
Maarva refused to go with him into his comfortable retirement and he basically abandoned her and the fight. He ran.
His subsequent imprisonment was a direct result of him turning his back and choosing the easy path. He didn't fail Maarva when she died, he failed her when he gave up the fight.
EDIT: this is a big part of his development. He didn't get radicalized in prison. He got radicalized by his guilt and grief for Maarva.
Just another reason to wait long after release to buy a game. Denuvo charges games companies to administer the DRM infrastructure and most developers will strip it out of their games after it's been out for a while.
Buying games on launch is one of the most anti-customer experiences you can get. And that's saying something in our wonderful capitalist economy
Just a reminder, like the Soviet premier in "Dr Strangelove", the Death Star isn't a secret to keep it safe from rebels or to use in a surprise attack. Palpatine wants to make a show of using it and doesn't want any spoilers.
But I'm so happy that Dedra survived the show. Because she's going to find out that the Death Star got wrecked and she was this close to stopping it. I suppose she may get released after the Battle of Endor, a thoroughly broken person.
Knowing that pharmaceutical companies have undue influence on public policy and public health is useful for understanding the world. Thinking that Big Pharma controls everything makes you RFKjr.
Ever notice how the libertarians always wanna build a city in some remote place like the ocean, Mars, or Gitmo? Suspicious that these are places difficult to escape.
The authors of this describe the situation accurately enough. Even though a Netflix show is presented as evidence of, ... something.
They lost me with the "begging the question" prescription for censorship and online control. I also don't like the aesthetics of arguing that boys are dangerous without putting into context how much young men suffer under modern material conditions.
What you won't find in the dictionary difference between dialects or creoles is historically racialized. A good example is Louisiana. Technically, Cajun is a subset of creole. But in practice Cajuns are white and Creoles are black.
Black dialects (In America) have historically been treated as bastardizations, pollution, or just plan ignorance of proper grammar and syntax. I witnessed the short life of "Ebonics" until it was ridiculed into oblivion. I can remember plenty of people who spoke a Southern dialect only loosely associated with English mercilessly mocking and doing impressions of AAVE.
Common parlance like "They don't think it be that way, but it do" is a contemporary example of black dialect with syntax and rules as complex as any language being mocked as as stupidity, ignorance, and an inability to speak English.
I'm not the racist police. If you've laughed at these jokes or told them, I don't think your a bad person. I've laughed and spread them myself. This is just an FYI.
Qatar's whole society works on this. They're one of the richest countries because almost all citizens are the aristocracy, while everything is run with migrant labor. They outlawed slavery, in 1952. They replaced that with the Kafala system, which is as you describe. Don't worry though, they outlawed Kafala in 2016.
I eat toast with cream cheese and a poached egg almost every morning and there's some synergy between the unctuous yolk, the sour cheese, and my hot sauce that is just about mana from heaven.
Don't you understand that being constantly nagged to use their products so they can monotise you is disrespectful? Would you keep a friend who started every conversation with a pitch for their MLM? I mean you're not obligated!
I understand that it's just business, but to me that's just capitalist Nirenberg defense. So please don't respond with some version of "it is what it is", because I view that as learned helplessness.
EDIT: what Windows users might not get is that booting into Windows occasionally means that it's going to bombard you with an avalanche of pop ups and nag-dialogues that a person who's logging in every day might not appreciate.
Sure you can silence most of that, until the next necessary security update.
