Thanks for the explanation. I think I was mistaken, seriously don’t these people read the bible? What the hell do they think Matthew 19:24 “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” means?

See above or read Max Weber.

Cause and effect is reversed sort of, if you were “elected” by God the proof will come out in hard work and accumulation of wealth. You might say those who feel part of the elect are self-confident enough to do what it takes and may even gloss over any faults or sins committed in the course of capitalist enterprise…

Just another twist on the Calvinist predestination doctrine - if you’re rich God loves you, if not - you aren’t loved (you filthy sinner).

So Genysis was that bad then? Poor Matt Smith (my Doctor).

Ditto, sure hammered in the idea of war being mostly boredom. [/sarcasm]

Eh, I liked it, the soundtrack made me stay-that and Olivia Wilde.

That wasn’t nice. /jk

Yea rented it with friends and we quit in the first 45 minutes.

Many people prefer going to the Facebook mobile site on their phone browser. I’ve heard of some alternative apps like one called Paper - sadly not available outside the US it seems. Yea I’d like some substitutes as well. Oh and sorry for some of the atrocious spelling mistakes on my initial post-Firefox spell check…

Is oatmeal that bad? A bowl in the morning certainly fills me up and as long as one doesn’t pour half a bottle of maple syrup not too high calorie.

Thanks! Although everyone here pronounces it wrong...I’ll do my best-love the stuff btw.

Yuck, clearly not an OS thing (ios user here please don’t expel me). Some of these apps - Facebook in particular - are the worst performing on ios too. FB is a real battery hog and does a lot of background activity to the point I try to avoid it. Seems by the ranking of Spotify tha music strwaming can be bad too-heard…

Umm how are you supposed to pronounce it? I live in a French-speaking city where it is pronounced “kin-oh-a” I assume the native word is pronounced differently?

LOVE thrse, pretty sure it’s black pepper and not chili though. I like the wierd salty (salmiakki - ammonium chloride not salt) taste. I’d take those fish over the horrid sounding M&Ms any day.

I like the wierd Finnish licorice candies.

Is the case being tried in Serbia? The clips I’ve seen indicate it took place in Hungary - those are Hungarian police so the action must have taken place just across the Serbia-Hungary border.

So just to clear it up-the six flims are still canon (though I hope we can forget the midichlorian thing), the Clone Wars and Rebels (really like the latter btw) are canon but the old EU has been thrown out?

This, and seems folks forgot about Lando Clarissian/Mace Windu (neither stormtroopers of course).

Except the Rebels didn’t “win” - this wasn’t like WWII more like the collapse of say Tsarist Russia or the Chinese empire with continued fighting between the remaining Imperial forces and the New Republic. There were just a bunch of new books and comics released that explain it-look for an article here on io9.
