@BenEspen @EricRichards22 Watching revenge of the sith can be genuinely painful at times with all of the awkward Padme Anakin scenes. People just like it for Duel of the Fates

@EricRichards22 I like the Phantom Menace the best of the prequels, which is not a popular opinion.
English
My position that Phantom Menace is the third best star wars movie is generally poorly received by everyone

@zanzziioyayay Davout seems too angry no? He should be more reserved in my opinion. I like the rest though!

Google Ads authentication is the most moronic thing in the world. I could have made 3 new campaigns, paused tons of keywords, changed bidding structure, that's fine. But increase a budget by $5 per day and I gotta whip out my phone and get gmail open to confirm

Another example of the fact that, unless you're willing to make life unbearable, reducing consumption is not the solution to climate change.

🇩🇰 Copenhagen's Green-led council is limiting elderly care residents to 80 grams of beef per week for climate reasons. That works out to 11.4 grams a day, which is less meat than most people put in a single taco. A Green party rep explained the logic: the elderly "have been the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives." So the plan is apparently to make them atone for it in their final years, one thimble of mince at a time. Critics, including opposition parties and elderly advocates, say the policy risks undernutrition in a population already vulnerable to it. The council says it's flexible, but the elderly eating climate penance for dinner might disagree. Source: BT, Ekstra Bladet

Tired: Complaining about Husband's hobbies.
Inspired: Learning just enough to tease him.
Ex: "Have fun at Magic my love! Hope you encounter a Blue Player!"
Mack@kenzietuff
If you’re attracted to a man you aren’t bothered by his hobbies, regardless of what the current societal opinion of said hobbies happens to be. You won’t nag about how time is spent. You assume he can handle time management, because otherwise why would you be with him?

@eigenrobot When I first read them I thought I could be like Thrawn and figure out how people were based on their artistic tastes. Turns out that stuff only kind of works in fiction

i'll be honest i read those books when i was ten i have no idea whether they were good or not

*monkeys paw curls* now we have a timothy zahn adaptation that disney has also fucked up
Frank J. Fleming@IMAO_
Disney just needs to say they're going to adapt Heir to the Empire and when anyone asks about the sequel trilogy just pretend to not know what they're talking about.

@TheGreatB00ks Island of Dr. Death by Gene Wolfe, and Fog Horn by Ray Bradbury.

@Palodin @Chris_M_Author You just know somebody on spacebattles.net used this particular scene to calculate how weak star wars lasers are vs star trek or something

So, I'm rewatching the old SW trilogy the other day, and it comes to me just how much of a joke Didney made of the franchise.
The guy pictured is General Veeres, and he's extremely competent! Darth Vader orders him to prepare for ground assault. He did it, decimated the rebel Hoth infantry, sent them in full retreat, blew up the power generators, dropoed the Imperial forces on site, and paved the way for Vader's landing party. The empire actually had competent people who (for movie purposes) only went retarded when our protagonists were involved.
Yes, the stormtroopers suck at shooting in a few scenes, but it has far more to do with classic "plot armor" than skill because they go absolutely ham on other rebel troops.
Disney took the concept and made it into an even bigger running gag with beta incel officers. The officers in the old series were hard-nosed and evil.

@RealLifeFakeWiz The most disturbing part is realizing the sequels came out 10 years ago what the hell
English
“In 10 years the Sequels will be as beloved as the Prequels”
Welcome to 10 years later.
They’re as hated today as they were 10 years ago.
Disney turned a $4 Billion brand into a $4 Million brand.

@chef_kawasakii @Bunchofnumeros @sickspitefulman @nick_field90 Nobody's insulting anyone here (at least I hope you don't think I aim), although I would agree that yeah a lot of PT fans aim their vitriol at the ST.
I also find the whole "star wars fan" a bit funny in general. Too many people trying to find their identity in a franchise
English
@Ashurhaddon @Bunchofnumeros @sickspitefulman @nick_field90 Well yeah, people are free to have their opinions.
I just draw the line when people start throwing insults or claiming that you aren't a "real Star Wars fan" because you enjoy the ST.
You'd think Prequel fans would've learned from how they were treated back then, but alas...

@chef_kawasakii @Bunchofnumeros @sickspitefulman @nick_field90 I think you’ll find just as many of us would be baffled by you defending TLJ and the ST in general.
English
@Ashurhaddon @Bunchofnumeros @sickspitefulman @nick_field90 I am 21 years old but even as a child I didn't like the Prequels. Nowadays Ep. 3 is the only PT movie I enjoy and I am genuinely baffled how many people defend Ep. 1 and 2.
Even though the ST has issues, I much prefer it to the Prequels.
English
@Bunchofnumeros @sickspitefulman @nick_field90 I wish people would understand this! We loved them growing up and were puzzled by the hate they got. Now we have our own voice, and the haters are struggling with understanding they were the vocal minority all along
English
@sickspitefulman @nick_field90 That was always nonsensical cope. The prequels were always adored by children (this was reflected in toy sales) and those sane children, who loved the prequels, simply grew up, they never “reevaluated” anything.

I had a female roommate who bought a bird for a pet. The bird loved me immediately and it eventually grew to hate her. She sold it after less than a year.

"A European study found urban birds flew away sooner when approached by women than men. Men got about 1 metre closer on average before the birds scarpered. It held across 37 species and five countries. Scientists don’t know why. They controlled for height, clothing color, direct gaze, and long hair being visible.."
