That would’ve been worlds better, I think. Palpatine was still responsible that way, but she didn’t have to be his flesh and blood.

From the FTC website: “A naked agreement among competitors to fix prices is almost always illegal, whether prices are specified at a minimum, maximum, or within some range. Illegal price fixing occurs whenever two or more competitors agree to take actions to raise, lower, maintain, or stabilize the price of any…

For my part, I don’t give a shit what gender or ethnicity any of the characters are, I just want it to not be about the fucking Skywalkers or Palpatines for a change.

I hope we get the promise of the rian johnson films. a bunch of people.awakening to the force for the first time and rival groups of jedi equivalents.

Thank you r the book rec! I needed to burn a credit on my audible account. 

I once pointed out that an article a conservative Facebook friend had posted was fake. He got angry at me. Now the rational response to someone pointing out that an article you posted is fake is to distrust the source of the article you posted from. The Conservative response, however, is something along the lines of:…

Oh I know, I was just making the point that I went to the link and the crane there looked pretty mundane for “the biggest crane on the east coast”.    But if we jazzed it up with some missiles and attack helicopters maybe I could get behind it....

“What a maroon” - B. Bunny, Esq.

They do. Empathy. And just that recognition.

I have lost male friends when I’ve tried to explain their “privilege” to them because they just cannot see how being a white male REMOVES (not the right word, because it was never there to begin with) the hurdles the rest of us face on the daily. It’s hard for them to understand the absence of something that is…

I have posted this before:

In my off road and overlanding groups the anti-woke people are just mad that people who are not rural white males are getting elected and making laws that do not benefit them. This is causing fear and promoting both anti-woke and election denialism. They are afraid. 

I couldn’t find one without “Gentleman” (sic), but this goes for everyone,

I posted that, although maybe others did too.

See that in the South too.  They sometimes even have “sugar free” gas (100% gasoline, no ethanol)

IDK but in large cities like Utrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, someone who buys a residential property, is required to live in it themselves for a certain number of years before being allowed to rent it out.
This slows down the issue of converting permanent housing to tourist accomodation a LOT. 

By the way, Marvel doesn’t have any “all black” or “all female” casts in any of their films. Black Panther notably has a white guy playing a supporting character for a lot of the film. Captain Marvel and The Marvels has freakin’ Nick Fury has one of the main characters.

I wonder what’s less likely: A rudimentary safety structure they implemented when the same thing happened to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in FL, or the “Make Sure the Ship Isn’t Broken Before it Leaves the Port” bill.

There are only two meaningful points of discourse here:

Arizonan here, it’s amazing how short sighted our state senators and reps are, they have a slight majority and want to own the libs Florida-style. Between the MAGA idiots who’ve lost lawsuit after lawsuit regarding the 2020 and 2022 elections and the god-awful state supreme court that nullifies voter-approved…
