Nute Gunray: does lord sidious sound...different to you?

Poggle the Lesser: dunno, humans all sound alike to me

Gunray: hrm

The Clone Wars partly becomes a comedy at the high-level CIS side because Dooku desperately tries to Weekend at Bernie's with Sidious

Korean food also does this sometimes, like this bibimbap dish which is basically a korean salad + a bit of meat (often ground beef) on rice, seasoned with gochujang

Woe, hippopotamus be upon ye

Mapo tofu is great for this! Really enhances the tofu by adding a shot of rich savoriness, alongside all the spices and seasonings

Trump's prosecutors failed to get grand juries to indict a ham sandwich, and now they are failing to get grand juries to indict an italian beef sandwich

Oh for sure. The 30k Age of Darkness spinoff game did a great job both giving each Legion their own unique identity and feel, while also leaving enough space for Your Dudes

"Behold! A clash of titans, a bloody feud setting brother against brother in the fires of betrayal and civil war!"

"So what's Horus up to?"

"Sending Captain Whoever of the Xth Company to capture a vital fuel planet defended by the Dudes & Dudettes Cohort Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum"

This is true, and it's also really funny that 30k which has many more Primarchs running around is the less gonzo soap opera setting of the two

"It's too late, dad! I've already depicted you on my book cover as the sad omnivorous soyjack, and myself as the carnivorous chad"

went to buy rice and tea at the wholesale spice store near me (kalustyan’s! it’s amazing! worth a trip to nyc) and i asked the guy there when they’re going to jack up prices because of tariffs. he said they’re still burning through old stock but have stopped reordering stuff.

he told me to stock up

If Sheev kicked the bucket as the above, would Tarkin or Thrawn even be his likely successors? Or would the Empire collapse before they could grab power?

Would Tarkin/Thrawn keep it as an overstretched personalist military dictatorship finishing off the process of eating the corpse of the Old Republic? Would they turn it into something else (military dictatorship but less overstretched and less personalist?) Would they succeed?

Though OP brings up an interesting hypothetical: if Palpatine somehow had a heart attack in say, 5 BBY and died, none of his whacky "somehow I have returned" contingencies go off, and the Empire ends up with either Tarkin or Thrawn as de facto in charge, what happens?

Ah, the downsides of making Space Fantasy Fascism look too cool...

As my old Criminal Procedure prof. liked to say: the only difference between something that's constitutional and unconstitutional is 5 votes

Glass half full: more Americans think Republicans are to blame for the shutdown than Democrats

Glass half empty: more than half of Americans are not clear eyed on who is to blame for the shutdown

This is kinda why after years of on and off grappling with this question ("are videogames art?"), I came to the conclusion of...does it matter if videogames are or are not art? What would change if games were or weren't art?

Mentally I'm here rn

bsky.app/profile/josh... I'm kinda wondering how much of this kind of stuff is lazy clout farming and how much of this is people impatiently waiting for a charismatic Democrat to whip people into a frenzy

Out of curiosity, what would be the proper UK term for one of these: deli meat, cheese, and sliced/leafy vegetables between a baguette loaf that's been cut in half lengthwise?
