You are 100% correct that nothing “matters” but there’s no reason that has to be a bad thing. And any reason you can think of? Guess what? Doesn’t matter. Embrace it, my son, only then will you find true not-unhappy-ness.

Of course you must have seen this - devastating:

Yeah, not you awesome people, though. You only like spacemen stories about totally unconnected characters.

All these worlds, all these billions of people, and the only people who actually matter, actually create major change, are THIS FAMILY for whatever reason.

Call me weird or whatever, but with all the lightsabers, telepathy/telekinesis and ghosts I barely even noticed the improbability of some of the main characters meeting each other.

This was basically my father’s approach the VERY RARE time I needed disciplining as a kid. It wasn’t about hurting me it was more about changing my space and helping me better understand my physical place in the world. It worked - snapped me out of whatever stupid kid trip I was going through at the moment and was…

I figure I could probably kill at least 6 kindergarteners with my bare hands without breaking a sweat, even if they mounted a coordinated attack. Like, probably single basic jabs between the eyes would concuss them immediately and then it would just be a matter of twisting their necks or stomping their brains in while…

I’m just joining in on a conversation with other parents. I’m not trying to impress the internet.

I’m sorry you feel that way - even sorrier that you’re not wrong to feel that way. Just know there are some out there who sincerely wish it wasn’t so.

White guy here - I saw this video on a black friend’s Facebook feed with the comment, “Thanks for the share [someone], this really made me think.” My jaw sort of dropped as the first half played out - the second half at least makes it LESS problematic but I was still left feeling about the same as the author of this…

You must have a truly infantile mind if you put lawyers on such a pedestal that you think they’d somehow be above anything he or she has said so far.

I’m with you - I’d probably do it a little less physically for the security camera reasons noted above, but I will do whatever it goddamn well takes to make sure my son isn’t bullied to death, and I’m not above scaring the living shit out of some children. “If you touch my kid again I will kill your entire family and…

Agree with all of that - but my thought is that Vader is bank and his absence from this new trilogy from what we’ve seen so far (other than a 30 second shout out) seems conspicuous. I feel like there’s still some kind of Anakin/Vader reveal to come...

My money’s on the callback being:

I’m surprised her being Anakin reincarnate isn’t a more popular theory. Why else would that lightsaber call out to her?

Duhn. Duh-duh-duh-duhn. Another one bites the dust. And another one’s gone, and another one’s gone, another one bites the dust!

A co-worker just popped his head in and told me the Infinity War trailer had dropped - said get ready for goosebumps. The Marvel movies are pretty good, I thought, but goosebumps? Nah...

I feel like “Good times” has been how every boring story ended since about 1997.

Damn, that flag would be honest af.

Thank you. Good to see someone who knows better. I am sorry that something in your brain is causing you to feel anxiety. :(
