He’s been having controversies since I heard about him years and years ago. He’s popular but mired in problems. Subway is an idiot.

Why is screw DLC legal? Why are people ok with companies preventing people from working in their own devices?

I don’t know much about this scene. How is this different than an emulator? You still need a ROM I believe.

At least for me, I have a gaming PC. If I need to dock it, I’ll just switch computers. Though if it’s your only gaming PC then it could probably be more powerful.

Man I love it when billionaire assholes finally figure out what the rest of the world has been saying since the beginning.

It’s a point but it doesn’t actually exist at any point. It exists in a cloud where it could exist anywhere in there.

Spiders and I have an agreement: don’t spin webs at people height. Spiders get the corners, ceilings and anywhere we don’t walk. If you try to spin a web on the bananas, RIP.

Always hate it When Day Breaks.

Unfortunately, most of that (lying, chasing, not reporting a crash) isn’t actually illegal (for pigs). Police have a stupid amount of leeway from the law.

Really, it should be illegal at the state level in every state to chase people. I’ve lived in a city where the PD had that: police could not chase; they’d just find them later.

Just had a weeklong beach vacation. We sat on the beach once for about half an hour before the sun was too much. We mostly just took morning and evening walks on the beach. We’re not really swimmers either, which was good because the surf was fucking lethal pretty much every day. Once day the waves were reaching the dunes and pooling past the high-tide line. Kids were constantly swimming and it was incredibly dangerous. I think most days were red flag and the “nice” ones were yellow.

The beach is pretty awful these days and we aren’t even that far south.

Yeah. Last time I checked I couldn’t get paid much to go hiking in the woods.

Maaaaybe if I wanted to be a park ranger or firewatcher (is that real?) but from my knowledge those pay dick.

When I got a vasectomy, it was like 20 before they wanted to do a fertility test.

Who needs to turn their sperm release on and off so quickly? I understand wanting it to be easier than surgery but no one needs it so fast that you flip a switch. Deciding to have kids is a huge decision that often takes months of fucking to succeed at.

Here you go. It’s gross!

Well yeah. You gotta keep all the explosions to a single room.

At that time the galaxy was home to over one hundred quintillion (100,000,000,000,000,000,000) sapient beings.

That…seems like too many. Earth will probably cap around 10B people. That’s 10B planets with Earth-like populations. A search says Coruscant has 1T people on it, so that’d be 100M Coruscants. But I have to assume Coruscant is on the outer edge of population densities. Most would probably be lightly colonized like most of the world we see in the movies.

But then Star Wars is well known for just being waay out there will numbers and not being even close to realistic. :p

Which is a good thing because Imperial HR doesn’t mess around.

It’s been a while since I watched the prequels, but the idea I got was everyone knew the Jedi existed: they were major players in the galactic senate as you referenced. But very few people would ever get to see Jedis use force powers. They might see them brandish a lightsaber. Which to a culture who had space ships, blasters, and the ability to block lightsabers (even if the materials were rare), laser swords might have seemed antiquated and quaint.

And the powers the Jedi seemed to use in populated places the most often were mind powers which aren’t necessarily observable: even Luke watching Obi-Wan mind-trick a stormtrooper was baffled. Seeing Yoda throw ships around might be a thing only a handful of people saw in a century and became little more than legend.

Ooor I might be rationalizing a lot of plot holes without realizing it. :)
