He’s been having controversies since I heard about him years and years ago. He’s popular but mired in problems. Subway is an idiot.

Why is screw DLC legal? Why are people ok with companies preventing people from working in their own devices?

Man I love it when billionaire assholes finally figure out what the rest of the world has been saying since the beginning.

The high priestess wants to know which church you want named after you for your generous endowment.

Good? Even if Tesla wasn’t shit it’s probably for the best if one company doesn’t make up the majority of an industry.

And normally this would be good for Tesla as it’d indicate the industry is growing a lot. So even if they aren’t most of it their total sales would probably increase.

Which YouTube app is broken now? Revanced still works fine for me.

Unfortunately, most of that (lying, chasing, not reporting a crash) isn’t actually illegal (for pigs). Police have a stupid amount of leeway from the law.

Really, it should be illegal at the state level in every state to chase people. I’ve lived in a city where the PD had that: police could not chase; they’d just find them later.

My players have entered the Feywild recently under charges by an Archfey and I’ve had plenty of signs. Kinda sad they actually read them and are being cautious.

Yeah. Last time I checked I couldn’t get paid much to go hiking in the woods.

Maaaaybe if I wanted to be a park ranger or firewatcher (is that real?) but from my knowledge those pay dick.

When I got a vasectomy, it was like 20 before they wanted to do a fertility test.

Who needs to turn their sperm release on and off so quickly? I understand wanting it to be easier than surgery but no one needs it so fast that you flip a switch. Deciding to have kids is a huge decision that often takes months of fucking to succeed at.

Here you go. It’s gross!

Well yeah. You gotta keep all the explosions to a single room.

Caveman absolutely proud of you. Hunter-gatherer lifestyle was closer to how most animals live: most of their lives are spent resting. Periods of hunting take up a lot of energy and most animals spend most of the waking hours conserving energy. Humans weren’t that much of an exception.

A descendant who rests the majority of their lives is living the dream. Especially when pretty much all prehistory threats are eliminated: predators, neighboring tribes killing you (for most of us anyways…), starvation, prevalent disease, infant mortality, extreme seasons, etc.

Contrast that to the founding father’s age in America: those rich assholes hated and feared the working class. They had incredible animosity directed at any non-owner class people. They even created a nation and had the gall to say “every man is created equal” and then most states denied voting rights to non-landowners, non-men, non-white people, and often based on age and religion. It could be as low when the Constitution was ratified as 20-25%. So it’s safe to say the white-haired ancestor would find the average person’s lack of hard work and life of some leisure a good thing, in general those asshats were closer to modern billionaires.

At that time the galaxy was home to over one hundred quintillion (100,000,000,000,000,000,000) sapient beings.

That…seems like too many. Earth will probably cap around 10B people. That’s 10B planets with Earth-like populations. A search says Coruscant has 1T people on it, so that’d be 100M Coruscants. But I have to assume Coruscant is on the outer edge of population densities. Most would probably be lightly colonized like most of the world we see in the movies.

But then Star Wars is well known for just being waay out there will numbers and not being even close to realistic. :p

Which is a good thing because Imperial HR doesn’t mess around.

It’s been a while since I watched the prequels, but the idea I got was everyone knew the Jedi existed: they were major players in the galactic senate as you referenced. But very few people would ever get to see Jedis use force powers. They might see them brandish a lightsaber. Which to a culture who had space ships, blasters, and the ability to block lightsabers (even if the materials were rare), laser swords might have seemed antiquated and quaint.

And the powers the Jedi seemed to use in populated places the most often were mind powers which aren’t necessarily observable: even Luke watching Obi-Wan mind-trick a stormtrooper was baffled. Seeing Yoda throw ships around might be a thing only a handful of people saw in a century and became little more than legend.

Ooor I might be rationalizing a lot of plot holes without realizing it. :)

“The world today” but it’s the fucking death star.
