I think they had a good decade or so of happy. Then, they started to realize/worry that their son’s dickishness wasn’t just a passing phase. Ben went to train with Luke, who’d also been having a pretty good time being an uncle and starting a Jedi training camp. And then Ben utterly fucked everything up. When he went…

For me it’s:

I think it’s a song whose historical context is very, very important; that same song written a few decades later would read wayyyy different.

How is that not an improvement? First of all, doing something consensual but feeling bad about it bc of social norms is way better than being drugged and raped, and second, of COURSE this would have gone against social norms in the 40s.

BB8 was her first friend, after what, 15 years or so alone on Jaku?

Edit: Nevermind.

Obi Wan’s granddaughter?

Well those two examples are SUPER different. It’s only up to you whether or not you go out. But if you are living together, doing some expensive home renovation is a together thing.

Like, if you live together, getting a pet SHOULD be a decision between the two of you. But “agreeing to” sounds a lot better/more reasonable.

This is what it feels to me.

Yeah, that the response has been unified is just not true. Lots of people support and continue to support Trump. When he spews his racist bullshit to his own crowds, he gets standing ovations.

I think she means the bit of projection R2D2 plays before Obi Wan sees the whole thing, i.e. her plans for the Rebel Alliance. When *actual* Leia first appears, she’s doing shit. And yes, I hate the gold bikini. But I love love love Leia and pretty much everything else about Star Wars.

uh, if by “big scene,” you mean the holograph of her R2D2 plays? Don’t say “fancy princess” so dismissively — she had actual political power, and was a leader of the rebel alliance.

If he has other partners who can support him through the job loss, and you want a one-on-one relationship, you are free to break up whenever you need/would like. And what does “won’t let you” mean?

I’m 27. It’s not old. Yeah, I have married friends, but I also have friends just out of very long relationships, and friends who’ve just started dating someone seriously, and friends who are as single as I am.

The Porn Couple is *adorable*.

My point is that there is no magic device that will stop rape, ever. I am not denigrating this device. It’s a smart innovation. But it seems like every now and again people get excited about something that will revolutionize self-defense, and in the end, there will always be things that will stop you from using…

There is a long answer to that question, but the short answer is that yes, if someone — whether you know them or not — comes up to you and attacks you, it might be useful, which is a great thing. But not all acquaintance rapes are like that. A lot of them, at least based on the personal experiences I know of, people…

Sure. Compare that to *how* many acquaintance rape stories every week in big cities, in suburbs, in the country, on campuses...?

Yeah, I feel like it could be good for some things, but really more for creating a sense of security. The random attack thing is very rare.
