I’d send it to HR just in case. Can’t be too careful for those things.

Seeing even just the moon (have managed to see a few other stellar objects) through a telescope is awesome. Haven’t checked out the pics yet. Getting to see something far away really puts things in perspective. Billionaires only have power because we let society run this way (mean sort of anyways), they are nothing but a mote on tiny mote getting their power. We need to be better as humans and society.

I’ll even say use binoculars you can see craters on the moon, more with a telescope though. That’s another solid world but only related to us cause it’s our moon. Check out Jupiter or Saturn sometime, it’s so satisfying if you can find them, the rings on Saturn which may appear like one of those cheesy bouncy balls with something to stand on, but it’s another freaking planet. And our system is a barely a mote in the galaxy let alone the universe. We are fighting each other for random crap when we need to look out there for improvement.

I get sad thinking about how much conflict we have as people over the tiniest issues. Also looking at stuff outside our planet is fucking awesome.

Yeah but other countries may go ‘hey if they have countermeasures…’ and if they’re an EU country it’s like a shoe in. Not like it’d come from Hungary or anything. Wait I hope Hungary didn’t say similar to muddy the waters they can be such douches (as a country in NATO not the actual citizens of course).

Awesome I understood it (even if I didn’t say it properly in my previous msg). Just needed to be sure I didn’t miss something in my readings and watchings.

But love and attachment pulled Anakin to the Dark side wasn’t that their entire position on it?

Or did I miss a plot but? I always thought ep 3 was clear, Anakin wanted love more than what was right and screwed up the social order by helping the emperor to in theory save Padme but then he went down the dark side and was no longer a Jedi. I thought that’s what Yoda assumed would happen too, in some way.

Honestly that’s a legit question I truely miss those things in movies often, even if I’ve seen them a lot, not nearly as much as EP 4-6 of course, but close since it was on repeat at the electronics store I worked at.

I thought the intent was to show the Jedi more naive, but holding to their ideals in the face of danger. Even if it meant all but a few got killed. But also show that their ideala lived on in the end (unsure about extended only read a few books) so they sort of win too.

Perhaps but perhaps in it’s death thoes (had to google to check that word) it may indeed be a start of a new dark ages. I hope not but they certainly can push it to there.

That’s more my worry these days because you got an ignoramus in control of the world’s largest (but evidently semi ineffective) military, mostly their ordnance capability.

The guy in charge may take everyone down when he feels out of options.

While I agree I sort of wonder if Trump has a request that was a bit too far, like covering up more of Epstein issues than she’s already done or saying even something more incriminating to other issues.

The scandals of this administration are like a random stage dude pulling the kerchiefs out of his sleeve, they just keep coming so when one gets buried they find a replacement.

And that’s half the battle having us guess why something happened vs what happened but they play 3 card Monty with all the possabilities.

Yes that sounds like a sound government… Good job united States, you went from superpower to super fucking idiot in 3 terms.i figure Bush 2 only gets super idiot in case you’re curious.

Or until the next time he takes his ‘awake’ medication, probably close to the same time but it’d be difficult to do a control on the experiment.

Typo I corrected once and didn’t double check the suggestion.

I’m sure they’ll have free and fair elections going forward…in that great China similar power structure. That’s what always happens when electing one of them authoritarians after all. I hope the best for the people of course.

Edit: I will say I have no idea of the ballot options and even if they had a fair election now or if other was worse.

Sure did. Oops.

That was my first thought then I figured they slingshot around the sun (or a few) along the way to a galaxy far away. Least worked for me.

Don’t mind me I like trying to think of in universe possabilities…crap this isn’t a Star Trek specific community.

Personally never been in many bad relationship long enough for me to feel that. I’ve had very mutual attraction where we both supported each other for the most part. If it gets to that early then that’s a sign it’s not working. If it feels that bad it can’t be beneficial, then that’s probably a cut off point (depending on length, after years a discussion is in order anyways).

The bad one? Perhaps had blinders on and didn’t see but looking back didn’t see as much take to the give. It’s easier to see looking back but don’t take that one bad issue is a reason things can’t work either. Sometimes a good talk (the horror of any tv show) can work things out so everyone is at the same expectations. If not then … That happens too, more often than finding a long term partner. Otherwise there’d be hardly any dating.

In the end communication about expectations are the key, if they don’t line up you probably won’t as a couple either.

Besides being a decent conman and grifter (somehow) what isn’t he shit at though? May as well let him be a shit martyr and get things moving on, to whatever course it’ll take.

Probably not much different since the billionaires are making the decisions it seems, but less media noise at least.

Also no thank you for attention to this matter. Heh that always made it sound silly anyways. Also I my spelling isn’t always on point but no spelling errors?

Think you get better luck with impeachment and conviction… His staff are way too loyal. Mean if it ever happened that he was 25th that’d be something for history whatever made that even happen and I hope it does not.

Mean pretty much every action he takes is worth removing him, but apparently the US citizens are accepting what is happening for their lifestyle. Yes I know but it’s their mess they should have to deal with it.

Whole idea of being a democracy is you don’t put your finger on the scale so the say. Not that the US (and others) strictly followed that. But when you got that big penis … Sorry military that’s more an internal matter to figure out. Heh as I f ‘that big’ really says what their military power is, yeah they’re huuuuge.

Course there’s the Venezuela operation, get some military to offer him up in exchange for less conflict? Yeah won’t happen with their military.

Maybe that’s why I have too much of it then. Also think it does worse for people to believe in things that have no factual basis for being real. We need to learn we are humans, an sentient being but just an animal, we aren’t special and we have issues and need to deal with them in a healthy way.

For the record I’m just saying no tangible proof of a higher existence, if you want to believe that’s for you is all. To each their own. I just need some proof myself.

Course some people drink a lot not like that’s worse than religion healthwise. Long as you don’t go on a crusade anyways then the drinking may be better.

He knew what the best people were made from. Kindness, understanding and compassion. If only that was a standard goal everywhere, maybe in a generation we could have some real progress.

Imagine an accepting world where it was okay to be you even if different but everyone accepted you regardless cause they wanted to see the best you. A silly dream to think of but one can hope.

I believe I misread and was thinking of other articles then, oops my apologies. Oil shipping at about 20% worth of world wide though, that’s a big enough chunk to make anyone with a vehicle cringe, regardless of where you are. It’ll eventually hit. Also sure that oil is used in many places not just vehicles to pump up the prices for consumer products. Though unsure of exact oil types on where it ends up exactly, apparently a lot of Asian countries… Which have many manufacturers for our random crap we enjoy.

Sorry I think in the end my answer is that the oil is so much for the world economy that alone is enough to screw the world. To the point that other factors may not be an issue (they may be and I may be ignorant too)

Well democratic (Western ones) countries don’t often show how upset they are with other western countries unless it impacts them. They may not condone actions but I’m pretty sure none of them ever liked dealing with Trump.

There’s that one picture of Trump in his first term sitting down while (I think) Merkle(sp?) was trying to explain something, there were other people in the shot and all (or mostly standing facing Trump) while he looked like a kid getting a lesson. They were okay for internal issues, well maybe not fine but mostly they wouldn’t say anything, but this round he’s fucked the world economy so yeah make sense. So I think they voiced their opinions previously as well just not in headlines as much.

Also the US has taken the lead so often, and (used to have) soft power that they managed properly.

Basically Trump (well his handlers) have effed up the social order so much it’s time to set the line. Sucks it took this long, cause all should have been done first term when the US elected a petulant child as leader.

Though I imagine it comes down to money as usual as you said, cause heaven forbid we figure out a way to run a country without billionaires making their voice known.

It’d be great if the people’s voices were heard for sure. Fortunately when time comes there are more of the regular folk than them. While I don’t condone violence it sucks that they can use violence and legal issues to make their goals happen without pushback.
