I haven’t seen the movie, but the Irish were viewed pretty poorly throughout American history, so that might be something that was played up in the movie. Again, I haven’t seen it, though, so I don’t know for sure.

They are called phosphenes, if you are curious.

That’s a whole other hydra head to deal with…

“Ahhh shit, they opened the XOR gate! Quick, someone check the blood sacrifice box and find out if the cat is dead or alive!”

It’s a harsh quote, but it gets the point across: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Carlin was right, and it applies here. Sure, half of us may be able to adequately identify what we should and shouldn’t eat, but there is another half that can’t. With proper education we can change that, but right now corporations educate better through commercials than schools do through lectures. We have to maintain oversight because the evil of capitalism will choose profit over people every time.

There are surprisingly few of them, they are just a very vocal few. I’ve blocked most of them now, and it’s made things much more bearable. Sometimes, though, I’ll catch a single downvote and I’ll imagine it’s one of them farting their virtue-signaling into the void.

I played dominoes with a bunch of Cubans that didn’t speak English, and I spoke very little Spanish. By the 3rd bottle of rum we all understood each other perfectly.

I don’t know anything about horses, so when I read thrush I was like, “Seems like a worse day for the bird.”

ET: “Phone home.”

Later…

ET: “Execute order 66.”

I was raised hardcore Southern Baptist and dropped that bullshit in my 20s. Seeing everything I was warned of as a kid is fucking wild to me.

Literally the mark of the beast.

Kathleen Kennedy admitted that the story wasn’t mapped out and that JJ would work with Rian who was to direct the second and write the third film. However, JJ abandoned the project for Star Trek and Cloverfield, and left Rian in the wind. The third movie went through three different directors and a handful of writers (with Rian being excluded completely) before Kennedy called JJ back in, who then abandoned everything Rian had done in 8 and decided that he wanted to make 9 all by himself, thus, “Somehow Palpatine returned,” not to mention that intro that makes the first 20 minutes of the movie feel like a recap to a film that never happened. It was a clusterfuck.

To be fair to Rian on TLJ, from what I understand, he was given absolutely zero information to work with from JJ, and when he tried to salvage the plot of TFA and get the franchise moving again, they scrapped his character work and plot lines and “somehow Palpatine returned” was what we got. The new trilogy was a fucking mess, and I don’t blame Rian for that, especially because I know he can write a tight plot.

Mmmmmm. I don’t know about this one…
