Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed “stormtroopers” from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.

Then correct me, or I’ll keep thinking that’s what you meant.

You are saying you deliberately want to cause harm to people so they’ll learn their lesson. You are acknowledging how awful of a thing it would be to unleash the military on their own people. Yet you still suggest that as a good idea. That’s a dictatorship. You’re rooting for dictatorship. You’re saying it’s okay that they suffer, because in your mind they deserve it.

I hope you’re joking. That’s a pro-suffering evil attitude.

You’d rather the military fight Americans than fight non-Americans overseas? What in the hell? You want Americans dead?

I’d rather prepare to fight here at home

What? You WANT Americans abducted by the military? There’s a reason that the police and the military are two different groups.

18th dynasty and 18th century are practically the same thing anyway.

The lights are fun when you’re drunk.

Yes, like a mail in vote that arrived on election day. It wouldn’t be included in today’s “early voting” numbers, but it would have been included in the total number of mail in votes in 2020 that I’m comparing it too. But don’t expect a big change.

The 2020 numbers might be deceiving and impossible to compare to. Mail in voting was heavily expanded, which skewed Democrat, so early voting results in 2020 skewed Democrat. Then election day skewed more Republican than normal too. It’s not going to follow that exact pattern again.

Looks like the 2020 ticks are including mail in voting in 2020, which was heavily expanded during the pandemic. Places like North Carolina and Texas have immediately gone back to restricting absentee ballots. So yes there are less early votes, because they’ve gone back to restricting mail ballots.

Here I see there were just over 1 million votes by mail in North Carolina in 2020. Here I see that there were about 240,000 votes by mail in North Carolina through the 2nd. You could probably find a more up to date number, but you get the idea.

It’s more projection. Trump needs to win so he can stay out of jail. Probably the only reason he’s running at all.

The killing process on Windows used to work better. Since about Windows 8 it’s not been quite the same.

Yeah definitely what happened.

Most people use twitter on their phone. I tend to assume everyone on twitter is on a phone. The vertical screenshots give it away.

I’m more surprised that he took the time to use an accent mark. Either a copy-paste to make sure he got it right, or lots of extra time changing his keyboard back and forth.

It’s not though. They worded it confusingly on purpose. The two that are still stuck are named Williams and Wilmore. The 4 mentioned in this article have different names.

That’s what the scene implies. The whole scene makes no sense after the backstory that the prequels added.

The idea of the scene is that we, the viewer, have no idea what the force is yet. Just like character who learns the hard way. Because this is the first Star Wars movie and they haven’t even started calling it Episode 4 yet.

“I’ve probably lost more patients than he’s ever treated.”

“Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”

This man was still arrested and got lucky with the judge. A lot of judges would probably love to throw the book at this guy.
