    The CEO of the company I used to work for LOOOOOOOOVED the word “utilize.” Every email he wrote in my 18 years there contained “utilize” at least once.

    All commercials are abominations. They play on your political/social stances in order to separate you from your money. They could not care less about any message in their commercials other than how that message will line their pockets. 

    Rogue One is the only “Disney Star Wars” movie I haven’t liked. I was bored out of my mind.

    Well, I’m a white guy who has been voting since 1992. I’ve never voted for anyone but Democrats. My best friend is gay and Vietnamese. My daughter is bi-sexual. There were a few things in this show that I found uncomfortable, but overall I thought it was thought provoking and mostly funny.

    That’s just your opinion. I loved it. I thought it was the best S.W. movie since The Empire Strikes Back. And it wasn’t even close. It’s the Star Wars movie I have been waiting for since Return of the Jedi.

    As someone who teaches high school kids, I can tell you that by doing an informal poll, less than 10% of the students I teach have any interest in baseball. Most cannot name a single player from our local MLB team and when I asked how many had actually attended an MLB baseball game in their life, only FIVE students

    LOL. Yeah, Star Wars has ALWAYS been logically consistent. A three foot frog man, who can barely walk, was suddenly able to whirl around at break neck speed. While doing this, he used a two-foot long sword and fought to a draw with a 6 foot 5 man with a three-foot long sword... A giant slug is able to survive the

    STAR WARS FANS: “Yeah, just bring everyone back from the dead....SO STUPID! DISNEY IS RUINING STAR WARS!!!

    Lightsabers are not built for practicality, but for visual thrills. Nothing in “Star Wars” has ever been practical except floating vehicles that can cover all kinds of terrain.

    WAAAAAH!! WHY WON’T THEY MAKE STAR WARS THE WAY I WANT IT?”

    That will be super exciting for the 95% of the movie going population who have NO idea who those people are.

    I’m curious to see what super exciting adventures Obi-Wan had while hiding in virtual isolation on Tatooine. I’m sure he did a lot of whirling, flashy Jedi stuff while trying not to draw attention to himself.

    I still only know him as Guy McAccent. 

    My favorite aspect of the cult of Star Wars complainers is when they break down the impracticality of laser sword designs in a universe where apes and humanoid squid creatures can fly spaceships.

    Even if he does retcon all the things The Last Jedi fans whined about, outrage is inevitable because a) It’s 99% certain that it won’t be what the Fanboys wanted and b) they are already resigned to hate this movie no matter what.

    I’m sure this is all just a misunderstanding.

    I don’t know anyone who would play professional football for nothing. I know I wouldn’t. I would love to play, but not for free. I got bills to pay.

    Third place team, 8 games back in their division, getting THAT excited about being 1 game back in the Wild Card chase with a month and half of baseball left. Weird.

    Kaepernick created a conversation and then undermined it by taking a paycheck from Nike. In my mind there is very little difference.

    Any comparison to slavery with the NFL is a disgrace an insult to anyone who was ever enslaved. Get out of here with that. Go read some slave narratives and then honestly try to compare that to the life of an NFL player. Just their salary compensation alone makes any notion that a player is in any way, shape, or form
