The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

Shawn Ryan just told Joe Kent he’s out on voting Republican at midterms. Joe Kent: “For the midterms, you're going to need a lot of hardcore MAGA people to come out and knock on doors.” Shawn Ryan: “Don't come banging on my door.” “I don't want to hear more of those lies.” Joe Kent: “I hear that from a lot of people.” @joekent16jan19 @ShawnRyan762

@raymondgstanley Honest question, which democrat has been punished and arrested yet? How many illegals have been deported voluntarily or forcibly? Did Trump get rid of the income tax? Did Trump start a new war with Iran after saying Israel "doesn't know what the f**+ they are doing"? gj goy

I AM VOTING in the next election and the ones after that and I'll be voting Republican. The Democrats will pick back up where they were when they ran the presidency for a brain dead Biden and further their goals of destroying everything good about America. So yeah, I'm voting.

Yo, it's 2026... Can we find a better way to do this? A woman recorded herself being pulled over on the interstate. Wisconsin State Patrol troopers attempted to remove her from the driver’s seat "for officer safety" by pulling her arms; however, she refused to exit the vehicle.

@michaelmalice @MoriahJovan @observer4991 @GeordieTribe Pragmatic means focusing on practical, realistic solutions based on actual constraints rather than ideals or assumptions. Here, it highlights that some apps block turning off autocorrect, so suggesting "just don't use it" doesn't always work in reality.
