Anyone who can run that far can probably skip the roadside assistance, too!

Am I the only one that wants a show where the all the empire Troopers just hang out and talk? On the job, off the job and doing whatever it is they do while bemoaning or enjoying their job.

Oh most definitely a Diva...

You can debate the extent to which Facebook should be responsible for the content its users post, and the extent to which it should police that content. But Facebook is 100% responsible for the content of advertisements it allows. If it allows lies in ads, then Facebook is responsible for spreading disinformation,…

Oh for heavensake, I’m sure everyone at Disney and Lucasfilm is deeply sorry that the movie they made was not the one you wanted them to make. I’m gay and progressive but honestly this sort of whiney bloviation is just annoying. Want more homonormative films? Walk away from your keyboard and go make some. Otherwise,…

The reason these myths are so enduring is because they had a LONG time to gestate before the Internet showed up. If Readers Digest had a Snopes column in the 1970s (and why the hell didn’t it!) they would’ve been long dead.

I thought it made total sense. I read it as “hell no I’m not kissing you, you had a shot and blew it, go kiss the wookie”.

YMMV, but I liked it because it was framed as a very ordinary act, presented mundanely. I thought that’s what we were aiming for with representation.

In a larger sense, never treat anything on social media as a primary source for anything. The major news outlets have a hard enough time checking facts and validating sources, then you have to sift through their biases, too. If you read it on a social feed, treat it like a conversation you overheard between two drunk…

Neutral: crossovers - like cars - aren’t all created equal. My Macan is glorious, and Porsche’s sales of the things suggest that plenty of other people feel the same way. That said:

But even if the business case is clear, it’s a strange look for any company in 2020 not to even pretend to care about climate change when it comes to electric vehicles, but that also speaks to the power of government intervention, since you get the sense that if Chinese and European regulations didn’t require them to…

Yea, Erik pulled his jump-to-conclusion-mat out with this one. Still building ICE in 2050 simply means that BMW doesn’t expect full phase out of ICE by that time. There is no comment on volume splits or anything like that. BMW is obviously integrating electricity in their lineup.  

That, or maybe they recognize that EVs wont magically solve climate change, but merely shift the production of emissions somewhere else.

What chemicals are you referring to/lying about?

And that’s different from the normal Whopper how?

I’m in! Obviously I don’t know if this will be a good product or not, the impossible burger isn’t exactly perfect (it’s fine, just not perfect), but I think sausage would be an easier thing to fake, and I love me some pork dumplings. I can’t wait to try it.

Spoken like someone who can’t grow a beard.

Tangentially, I still measure my height every year. It started dropping a while ago, accelerating downward more and more each year. I did the math, and soon I’ll just be a grumpy pair of pants with a fedora on top.

Wait, so Yennefer was a student at Aretuza for 20 years?

All these things are true but the timeline is needlessly confusing and not nearly apparent enough. I’ve read the books cover to cover and at first I just thought they were making adjustments to the story due to it being an adaptation until I realized they were time skipping. My girlfriend almost has given up on the…
