This is the problem with current Star Wars, and has been since the prequels. The Force felt way more mystical and interesting when it was only a select few who could use it. Rogue One did a decent job of trying to bring back that feeling of mysticism (for me, at least).

It’s a metaphor for life.

Totally does!

If it’s an option for you, consider getting one of those pull-up bars that fits in a door frame in your living space. Chin-ups (with the inside of your palms facing you) are a killer bicep workout, and you can use a dinner table chair to assist yourself if you can’t do pull-ups effectively yet. The pull-up bars…

Before reading the article, I saw the header image and went, “Well that cable certainly isn’t going to help with any data transfer...”

Then the cop would have immediately pivoted to him being a threat for taking off the mask and risking infection. Like you said, any excuse will do, sadly.

Edit: Should never have posted. Didn’t read the full article.

This is the take, right here. I’ll take a bad movie that feels like one artist’s vision over a “good” movie that was made overly bland by a committee. Not that committee-led movies can’t be good, but I prefer when movies feel like they have something to say. Rise of Skywalker has no important underlying theme. It’s a…

Super Mario 64 DS already added a slew of extra characters, so there’s already precedent for how they could do this. It worked pretty well.

I’ll be completely honest that I was only responding to the comment above me within its own context. Should have read the article more, myself.

Yeah, trying harder on its own does nothing. The human brain will always latch on to what’s convenient. Meditation is a great way to learn how to better control that. Another option is to take steps to make the convenient thing (getting distracted) less convenient. Like using content blockers in your web browser, for…

No villain is too crazy for the Bat family... I mean, they have Condiment King for crying out loud.

Hooray, let’s shame someone for learning something new and trying to be a better person with a sarcastic headline...

Obligatory Doghouse Diaries comic:

That Star Wars ranking list is one heck of a hot take. You got some guts!

Well they did say “15 days plus” so I guess they meant a few years. I hate Google rollouts so much.

I do this as well. A+ advice.

A few things, some maybe more helpful than others:

That bit by Patton is hilarious and incredibly on-point.

It saddens me that I didn’t understand Marcia Lucas’ impact when I saw Star Wars as a child. The prequel trilogy makes her absence so obvious. I wish she had done more work in Hollywood but I can understand why she hasn’t.
