  1. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    It really doesn't cause any issues. Imagine mapping it to earth months. 1BBY Dec 31st, the next day is 1 ABY January 1st. This system gives easy to read context to viewers. The 3rd §∆£ of |•€¥ is just sci-fi gobelty gook nonsense that means nothing to anyone outside hardcore turbo nerds. Silly...
  2. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    It's a balancing act. Given that Mons driver was a plant, and her office was bugged, it's likely they have evidence of her being a "terrorist". So they can justify her arrest and tie her to Ghorman. They may have or may not have this info for Bail, and Alderan may still be a more powerful piece...
  3. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    Because the Empire still has to keep the illusion of legitimacy at this point, that's a huge portion of this batch of episodes. Without the Deathstar in place they have to worry that the more they tighten their grasp, the more systems will slip through their fingers.

    Going slower means you have to be wary of spoilers, and can't engage in discussion until caught up. It being batched reduces its footprint in public consciousness, cuts down on theories and people guessing on what's going to happen. Also ruins the flow of real world "water cooler" talk.

    Honestly that's more rapid than I prefer, makes it kind of hard to keep up.
  6. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    "Republicans say there is a provision in the SAVE Act that directs states to develop a process for accepting supplemental documents such as a marriage certificate, which could establish the connection between a birth certificate and a government-issued ID. They argue the process is similar to...
  7. Prey (Predator 5) - streaming on Hulu

    Yeah the dog fight stuff is what most caught my attention. I guess it's like Predator equivalent of whaling or something maybe, but definitely neat

    Also, they just suck. Japanese cars are pretty much superior across the board.
  9. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    This is the most likely outcome imo. He will get "concessions" and "wins" as a variety of countries do things like take action on a nearly non existent fentynal trade. Trump will then crow about the "winning". It will be a mix of platetitudes and tangible wins.
  10. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Yeah that's major. I was rolling my eyes at "oh no one cup of water an hour", but one per day sounds illegally bad.
  11. Harris-Walz / Dems

    In this thread: Let's avoid fascism by setting up a government that can control who is elected.
  12. In Space No One Can Hear You Scream: An Alien thread

    I really liked it. IMO it fixes a lot of the issues with Prometheus and Covenant without out right retconning them. Its easily the 3rd best in the series.
  13. We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I can't have stolen it, I made a payment so ownership is conferd to me. I recently learned that.
  14. We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I'm going to go rent a car!
