get away from the boring Jedi

Goddamn the Acolyte was rough

What, no mention of phrenology? I’ve lost touch with 4chan, too much grass touching for me.

Forgot the part where management also says use it or lose it, your vacation no longer rolls over, and your vacation bank now has an expiry date. But thanks again for all your hard work.

Something Lucas did well in my eyes was world building. To me that’s the most redeeming part of the prequels, the universe felt vast yet connected. The sequels felt small in comparison and a little too familiar. The only place I wanted to see more of was Kijimi.

Thank you kind stranger!

edit: Wow, didn’t expect this to blow up!!!

the Galactic Empire, an extremely fascist regime modeled off Nazi Germany

Tough to argue the that the visuals aren’t there in the uniforms or other aesthetics, but apparently George also had other empires in mind in the original series. Nothing that would put Tarkin in auth left though.

ITV’s This Morning thought it would be a good idea to introduce the current PM to Britain’s most tattooed mom.

Not sure what Britons are meant to learn about Rishi Sunak, or what yet another Tory government would have in store for them, from his take on sandwiches, coke, or chatting with an OnlyFans model ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

What is this stage set-up? Why is the British PM sitting in the cuck chair?

Same with your side gig.

It is not a flex if your primary job isn’t enough to pay the bills. It’s a societal failure that wages have not kept up with inflation and that capitalism continues to filter the benefits of increased productivity to ownership at the expense of labor. Being forced to cope with your own exploitation, or worse, figuring out how to exploit others, is not the flex you think it is

And if it ain’t about the money, it’s definitely not a flex that you filled your free time with more work. Unless you’re trying to make your side gig into your 9-5, there is a world of activities, hobbies, and pastimes to better yourself that you are missing out on.

I thought the phone was a knife, cause that would have also been reasonable.

From the article, the cop laments that telecoms are no longer handing over IP addresses when requested. Now police are being forced to obtain search warrants, like they would need to in order to tap your phone or read your mail. This seems like a consistent application of privacy law and a safeguard against law enforcement abuse of power. Seems like an absolute win to me.
