Ugh, you’re going to be one of those guys that’s all pedantic about Wikipedia? It’s 2020 bro, I’m not going to do a proper academic citation for Kinja. For the level of intelligence and the types of discussions that happen around here, Wikipedia is more than fine. Nobody is gonna die because I cited a Wikipedia

Respectfully, I think you’re putting a lot more thought in justifying why they did things the way they did in TRoS than they did, because it’s pretty clearly evident that there was not an overriding narrative these three films were meant to convey, or much of an attention to detail for that matter. If anything, after

If you actually watch the interview on YouTube, he was absolutely saying it tongue in cheek. Like, it’s so obviously a flippant comment trying to be funny about the whole thing that trying to present RDJ as genuinely being excited at being black for a summer is just asinine.

Yep, it is not and will probably never be about getting in, but rather how long it takes them and how many resources they have to devote. In a purely pragmatic sense, you can hardly blame them because why would they want to be less efficient. They will always use the excuse of terrorists and child molesters to try to

Small nit-pick, Cursola is a new evolution of Corsola. Galarian Corsola has Ghost typing instead of Rock/Water, to further drive home the point that it is dead coral. You also can only catch Cursola in Max Raid battles, otherwise you have to evolve one.

I could’ve worded that better, but you correctly divined my intent, lol

These people will demand devices that don’t have a backdoor in them, because they follow the ancient credo: Rules for thee, but not for me.

Yep, they want precedent to be able to compel this in the future, not just from Apple, but whomever may come after. This has nothing to do with whether they can get the data by other means, it’s about having a guaranteed way to get it whenever they wish. This is about as nonpartisan an issue as it gets. The government

The reasons why the Mandalorian are so good are why I feel like a Vader movie or series would work really well. One, because who doesn’t want to see Vader wrecking shit and being the Vader we only got a glimpse of at the end of Rogue One, but also they could explore the tortured side of him: How much suffering he

The thing about those kinds of polls is, that’s 42.2% of voters surveyed willing to say that they approve. There’s a lot of stigma, deserved or not is beside the point, in people saying they approve of the president. I think there’s a lot more people willing to begrudgingly vote to reelect Trump than polls would

Oof, yeah I can imagine. We humans like to think we’re masters of our own fate, or at least have some marginal influence or the appearance of control, and we tend not to like it when we know we don’t.

If it’s as bad as some of the roads around me, that probably means the road is more patched (or not!) potholes than actual road anymore. Part of me really looks forward to the day that I can get in my car, set it where to go, and take a nap, but another part of me doesn’t want to give up shifting my own gears either.

Right? Have your autonomous car navigate down a drifted over dirt road and then I’ll be impressed.

It’s important to remember that this is not a partisan issue (or at least it should not be). We can definitely hold Barr to account for continuing to pursue it, but he didn’t start this and he won’t willingly end it either. Law enforcement has openly been seeking more and more power and ability to gather information

Companies would also literally hire mercenaries to assault and kill striking workers 100 years ago. Even if every union in America evaporated into nothing tomorrow, I have serious doubts that the kinds of literally life threatening conditions experienced when unions were absolutely necessary would suddenly spring back

For me, it’s the little details that stand out to me, that make me feel like this movie wasn’t written or made by people that are actually Star Wars fans. There was no reason to make Rey Palpatine’s granddaughter when she could’ve just as easily been some sort of clone, or a test tube baby made from Palpatine’s DNA

My fervent hope is that you give this Holy Grail Jeep the proper restoration it deserves. It already has a better body and frame than all your other Jeeps combined, it deserves it.

If one was trying to construct an argument in favor of treating police dogs like human officers, you could argue that if the police dog were not present and they were attempting to physically restrain the suspect (assuming for the sake of argument that other methods had been exhausted or were unavailable), it would be

Here’s the problem: The alternative will end up being using robots/drones instead of dogs. We’ve already seen it in one high profile case: The Dallas shooter. They decided the suspect was so much of an immenent public threat that they used a bomb disposal robot with a bomb strapped to it to blow him up. Ironically
