This thread explains pretty much all the reasons why I am a Jedi hater.
I swear, trying to talk to Star Wars fans about the very obvious flaws of the Jedi is like trying to explain the reality of how laws are applied verse how we are taught they should work.
It doesn’t matter how Lucas says the Jedi should work, how they are presented in canon is deeply fucked!

I think it depends on the snacks but yes.
But do they want the snacks? That‘s a perfectly acceptable level of participation in sports for me. I’ll go to any minor league baseball game for a beer and a hot dog

Home Alone came out almost exactly 2 months after Goodfellas so I prefer to think Tommy never really got whacked. The hit was a front. He was just renamed Harry and sent into witness protection to work as a plumber in Winnetka IL. But he just couldn't fight that itch

I heard a story about a female academic giving a paper at the IHR who, after receiving a long and aggressive question from a senior male professor, simply leaned back with her hands behind her head and replied “Oh, do fuck off.”
One of my colleagues went to a seminar at Berkeley and when someone asked a question Derrida brushed it off saying ‘what you ask may be important but it is not interesting’.
This path leads to chaos.

There is no reason to go shopping tonight. Don’t encourage these companies that are totally cool making their employees leave their families and friends to go in so you can get 30% off a fucking toaster oven.
