@SandyofCthulhu Gandalf alone had the foresight to understand Gollum could play a positive role in the story.

Donald Trump has the slowest GDP growth of any President in the last 100 years. The top three are Democrats. 6 out of the bottom 8 are Republicans. But yeah, Republicans are good for the economy!

@NicholasJOlaya @SandyofCthulhu Watto was by all accounts a fair owner, in the movie at least. He allowed Anakin free time to pursue his own interests, building things, playing with other children, pod racing, etc.

Qui Gon Jinn killed 4 humans in The Phantom Menace. He also killed a ton of battle droids, but I don't count those. He wouldn't have even had to kill Anakin's owner. Just steal his slaves and run away. Lock Watto in a closet for a while or something. Have a fun escape sequence taking Anakin off to their starship and flying away. "But that's illegal!" And fixing the pod race isn't illegal? It wouldn't have destroyed the rest of the story arc either. You can easily find other reasons for Anakin to turn to the dark side despite having his mother rescued. Perhaps while they're escaping to the starship they go through the desert and some sandpeople see them and a shot hits mom. Or in the shock of the ship's taking off mom falls down and breaks her neck and Anakin internally, subconsciously, blames Qui Gon Jinn. Looky there. I spent FIVE MINUTES thinking up alternate ideas for Anakin's mom and I came up with several ways all more sensible than the retarded idea they used. This is why we hate the Phantom Menace. Because it deserves it. It's not just Jar Jar. The retarded "Midichlorian" bit. The gross misuse of Darth Maul - so built up, yet so wasted. It's maddening. As I've said before, I went into The Phantom Menace excited and happy and expecting a renewal of the greatness of Star Wars. I fought hard against my cognitive dissonance while watching - my eyes & ears telling me it sucked, while my brain was trying to convince me it was okay. But by the end it was too objectively clearly awful. And the fact that the Disney movies were EVEN WORSE doesn't make the prequels any better.

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

The Trump FCC sees its job quite explicitly as the destruction of all opposition. There’s no principle or virtue here. What’s being celebrated is the destruction of any liberal principle or shared value. MAGA folks can say “well we kind of feel like you did this to us, or want to do this to us” but notice that’s not a principle. “We’re violating this rule bc we think you did” is the opposite of virtue. It’s a justification for why you can violate a virtue that you still believe should apply when the shoe is on the other foot. Virtue signaling can be annoying. But it’s being replaced with the open celebration of vice and authoritarianism. Which is so much worse.

@Oilfield_Rando We know you’re a lying piece of shit young person because you make claims about the 90s which are not true. There was a massive amnesty in the 80s we had plenty of non-white people in America in the 90s. Stop talking about a time you know NOTHING about.

@brad_polumbo Body Positivity does not and never meant to “you should be fat”. Its always simply been “you have worth and beauty even if you’re overweight”.
