  1. 1. Agreed. It’s not like Anakin / Vader is above shit talking and truth stretching anyway… he’s a Sith Lord. Again the specifics here have been fuzzy for ages anyway and nothing breaks canon unless we’re going to be pedantic to the point that not much is really going to hold up. 2. The use of the Force and how its users behave in combat / conflict varies so wildly that it just doesn’t matter. The rules barely exist in a cohesive way and they never have. I’ve said it a billion times, but if the OT started in 2007 and not 1977, the internet would have lost its fucking shit and ripped Lucas apart for making stuff up on the fly when Sheev cast lightning for the first time. Aside from that it’s clear that Vader is playing with his food during the whole conflict. 3. This and the Grand Inquisitor’s status are the weirdest things about the show to me ATM. I don’t think Reva mentioned the Anakin / Vader connection to anyone other than Obi-Wan, right? So my assumption is still that she was a Padawan during the purge at the temple, saw Anakin merc the Younglings, knew Obi-Wan was Anakin’s Master, and resents him for it. I assume Vader doesn’t know that she knows but I could be forgetting lines already. 4. Yeah agreed.
  2. Oh absolutely. This is such a skull fuckingly stupid idea, it’s wild.
  3. The same party that is actively anti-teacher, anti-public education, and all up in the assholes of what teachers can and cannot say is eager to put guns in teachers hands. These fuckers are absolutely demented and people who support the second amendment but who aren't lunatics need to start seriously interrogating the cost of their allegiance to guns.
  4. Hopefully this season is a bit more... fun? Or something? I dunno. I found Season 2 to just be relentlessly bleak and depressing.
  5. Truly wild to see the masses get gamergate'd, having seen it happen to gamers earlier.
  6. Exactly. There’s a point somewhere on the income ladder where a lack of savings becomes a choice. I’m up for a discussion as to where that is, but $250,000+ is beyond it even if you’re living in an expensive area.
  7. I love the stories about people earning a quarter mil + who have something like $5K a year to flex after expenses because when they post their budget there’s always shit like, “I spend $15K a year going to Burning Man and doing molly at Ibiza, have a personal shopper, and pay to garage 3 luxury cars in Manhattan, all of which I think is reasonable and essential, how can I afford to save?” EDIT - to level set, the median household income on the Upper East Side is $127K, if you’re making double that and can’t save, it’s completely on you.
  8. Yeah. I mean I don’t care, it’s fun and Brett Gelman and Winona Ryder playing off one another doesn’t really get old. That in of itself is a wild sentence to type and I’m thankful for it! But it’s strong A Song of Ice and Fire vibes where it really feels like an, “oh shit, well, he’s on the other side of the world now so… I guess we gotta get him back somehow,” vibes.
  9. Literally everything Hopper related strains credulity more than the Upside Down this season, lul.
  10. I’ve never started a war based on bullshit, gimmie my fucking stone.
  11. The Phantom Menace is easily better than Rise of Skywalker. I don’t even think it’s close. Also… Good on them for saying it, fucking depressing that it needed to be said.
  12. That’s the thing, right? Fuches keeps finding peace on random farms, gets reminded of Barry, then bails. Also this last episode was quite good, but the public shootouts just hit different with recent events.
  13. Twitter dot com Kidding aside there are some people I follow who post 90 - 95% sane shit, but are into stuff like Star Wars or tabletop gaming and while most of them don't directly contribute to the narrative by retweeting, they'll screenshot / crop to get the point across. The crypto stuff on twitter is straight self inflected wounds, I confess.
  14. Gotta love a certain, vocal segment of the fandom having a real issue with young Leia being precocious for what I am sure are totally sane reasons!
