I love her dress so hard

I feel like I’m the only one who isn’t into it? I like my guys with dorky demeanors, dad bods and professor glasses. I just do. I like it when they fit right in at the LL Bean Store (even if they are not white, despite LL Bean being ridiculously White People). He is not that guy.

Because the practice is irresponsible.

My vote is stupid, or troll.

Placing someone by request in a room next to someone else without asking the first person at all if they know this person or are OK with it.

This is really a no-brainer. ASK. FIRST.

Perhaps they don’t, but that’s on them. They should. If someone, even a family member, asked to be placed next to me, I’d want the hotel to fucking ask me first.

How many of those people semi-openly carrying on affairs “in the before times” were women? Cause it sure seems to me that men got to do that, and women got to suffer.

Perhaps “political beliefs are fair game”.

Also while your personal religious beliefs deserve to be left alone/not discriminated against, if you are discriminatory/bigoted because “it’s your religion”, also fair game.

Seriously. Talib Kweli has a great song in which he calls Confederates/white southerners “terrorists with etiquette who fought and killed they president / their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent” and nobody got their panties knotted up about it. And that was way more confrontational than “I twirl on them…

I solved this with a lot of older artists I love whose work I’d previously bought on CD by, years ago, burning the CDs to my (then) computer and making sure I always have a backup. The downside is they’re stuck forever in MP3 format because I don’t know how to change it. I have access to pretty much…

Still leaves me wondering why whoever hates Leia wants her dead. I mean it’s hinted that it’s an old Imperial loyalist somewhere in the New Republic but it’s not fully clear, nor is it clear why they want her dead specifically, nor who would write that note on the paper streamer to save her.

But I do love the…

No but I need that dress.

I feel like ‘in an afterword’ is sort of a cop-out, honestly.

Seems like it could work, if it were based in some sort of truth. But seeing as (from the link above) Hercules actually ran away on Washington’s birthday...maybe not so much.

You wait until they are developmentally ready to understand the complexity. That would probably be sometime after they are too old for reading Scholastic books.

The cultural contributions - yes, certainly, and children can understand that. But perhaps before introducing the complex and emotionally charged idea that ‘some slaves loved their masters’, which is probably true, perhaps those children need to understand what ‘slavery’ really meant for them as a whole, first.…

Well yeah - if you free a bunch of people who didn’t want to be enslaved, but had room and board while enslaved, and then purposely make it nearly impossible for them to find decent work to support themselves, on some level they will miss the guaranteed room and board. It doesn’t mean they want to be slaves again or…

The chances of them being in the middle of the construction on such a thing at EXACTLY the point when we start having records we can check for light output (the late 19th century) is basically zero. Not exactly zero, but pretty damn close I’d say.

Well, the dimming seems to have “started” from more or less right around the time when the plates were made that someone went and looked at (“in the last century” means “since 2016-ish”, and 1916 is not that far removed from the late 19th century).

More likely the dimming started before that, but we have no evidence to…

Agreed. The worst thing about the prequels - other than parts of Attack of the Clones making very little sense - were Anakin love-talking weird BDSM-dressed Amidala incredibly awkwardly.
