Speaking of, we need more Nyssa. ... Not for Laurel necessarily, just in general.

Businesses can declare bankruptcy, fire all their employees, and go into a different industry! The analogy is just so totally bonkers.

Let engineers and scientists run it.

It is absolutely baffling how certain people can’t discern the difference.

Which is to say nothing of the fact that their whole view on the virtues of “the business world” is at the very least naive. Competence and efficiency are precious resources, not found in abundance anywhere...the whole idea that business is inherently more efficient is based around the massive assumption that it’s run…

Who in this country understands the Constition better than lawyers?

That’s a requirement that not everyone will go through. The need for a reliable fail-safe solution that you know for certain your communication will go through to the other end is important. If I’m travelling, I want to know that my messages can be delivered and received, no matter what network, what plan, or what sim…

This looks like it needs about 300% more gun-kata.

For real. The seed patent stuff is shady, shady business, but GMOs can be used responsibly if we throw enough good science at it.

It’s not polite to trow people back it’s own words, specially if they have the attention span of a fish or are trying to feel superior to whatever they are writing about.

I felt the same way— interesting, but not really a compelling story. According to my coworkers, I am a soulless husk of a person because I didn’t cry when Bing Bong died.

I’ve read about this one multiple sites now and here is the deal:

I know, such a chilling ending!

It definitely still is a violation of net neutrality. The only reason they get around it right now is because they allow any music/video service to apply to put on their unlimited streaming program. If they had limited to Google Play Music/Movies and Netflix, Pandora, etc and kept others from applying, then it would…

Just what I needed to hear, thanks!

In the -actual- canon. Look at Episode III, the droids with the staves.

There’s an old sci-fi show from 1999 that featured a main character very much like Finn—born and bred to be a soldier. As the show progresses, we get some insight into why she broke rank in the first episode. Maybe they’ll do the same with Finn.

I read it more as he was pushed over the edge by seeing the slaughter of the villagers. Not so much about the storm trooper.

That he worked before in sanitation is telling. It suggests that he was “promoted” into a combat role, and maybe he was just a space janitor whose brainwashing didn’t take.

There’s a world of moral difference between fighting your way past soldiers and massacring prisoners, most of whom were non-combatants.
