Yes apparently rich assholes congregate so when one slights another then we (the plebs) hear the incriminating details because they were personally impacted, but never earlier. Whoever came out is no hero but hopefully their story is heard.

Do we not see how this caste system sucks? It's not exactly untouchables like some castes but it's a caste system. We are their fodder, the (few) rich get power.

Now I am not advocating violence but numbers should show who has real power in the world. 3500 billionaires and 8.5 billion people, can't we make it better for the 8.5 billion rather than the 3500?

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.

They're on their decadent high or perhaps just over their peak before the real downfall. They could have been better, but that house of cards is collapsing so it's take what you can get before it gets worse. Awesome job Americans, you had one job not to not elect a conman to presidency and you failed twice. Kudos, I doubt many others would fuck up that poorly. Hats off, flamboyant bow they made evident what was thought impossible, bring down the US through stupidity. Bravo.

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.

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.
