there’s nothing wrong with not wanting to be a parent

This is the type of advice that feels warm and fuzzy, solves a problem people have, but at it’s core is total BS. Parenting is not about being your kids friend or consultant or whatever. Children have to be forced to do the hard things until their brains are developed enough to understand things like delayed…

Nothing is for everyone.

Here is a comment! It will be a pile of confirmation bias and bitching about The Last Jedi that indicates I neither read this article nor understand localization.

According to a lot of secondary sources, the Death Star’s(and I presume the Starkiller base) did have hyper drives.   They were not fast but they had to be able to travel faster then light.  Its not like Aldeeran and Yavin 4 are in the same star system 

Exactly the best choice regarding this scene. Although honestly I am not a fan of and how much and the portrayal of torture in the series. Its used to show just how oppressive and dehumanizing the power structure of the society is.

I still love io9 for what it is, but the thing I miss the most about the old days are CJA’s writing process posts. I’m still trying to limp my way towards being published one day, and her tips and kicks in the ass were always fantastic reading. They were what originally brought me to the site. Though everything else…

YOU GET A STAR, YOU GET A STAR, YOU GET A STAR!

Haha! You’re right! I do remember that now. Thanks for the correction. I guess Kovac’s story was so good I remembered it as fact.

Oh ho, you are correct! That’s good to know, though I’m far too lazy to do that for every individual e-mail. I’m content to just let them sit in the recipient’s inbox until their return.

Her name is just the Doctor. Not Doctor Who.

PCPartPicker does a pretty good job (https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/), though I’ve generally erred on the side of looking at what I want a machine to do, how long I want to “future proof” it for (and you’ll never get as much lead as you might hope for; thus the hidden cost of leaps and bounds in technological…

Something important to note in all of this:

The, “I never asked to be a role model/hero/what have you” argument certainly feels like it should be salient, and it’s true, up to a point—sports figures of all stripes, traditional, e-sport, or otherwise, only ever asked for an opportunity to do what they do at a very high…

Oddly enough it’s the straight white non-Jewish men who have the biggest issues with being able to relate to someone who isn’t like them. Everyone else has long since learned to make do.

I’ve said this in other comments so I will say it again. Being 45 years old I had the “luxury” of watching Empire in theaters and seeing the aftermath of it as we all shuddered at the thought of Darth Vader being Luke’s father and how that movie basically trounced on the original by doing that. A lot of people are…

I’m a little disappointed that when I clicked on the headline for this article, the entire body wasn’t just the word: “Yes.”

This is what I love about io9. Mention an author and there's a good chance they'll show up and comment!

100% failing to not be a dick.
