  1. I stand by that Last Jedi has the chance to be coherent if episode 9 had actually decided to build on rather than throw anyway literally everything it was trying to do

  2. Last Jedi also should have just gotten rid of the whole casino resorts suck thing that was obviously a plant from the Disney theme parks division, like all the time they spent insulting Sea World as a vacation destination in Finding Dory. There's a plot there that makes sense if you tighten it all up a bit and stay focused on the story. It doesn't connect all that great to episode 7 or to episode 9 at all, but it's not that far gone itself.

  3. In an earlier draft of Episode 1 Anakain was indeed a teen (Jar Jar was also not a comic relief), Lucas later changed that since he wanted the character to have roundabout the same age as his son Jett who was born in 93.

  4. The posters of child Anakin with Darth Vader's shadow were super cool. Tone of them was way different than the movie though.

  5. This is exactly what happened to me. I wasn't coughing, but my throat hurt really bad so I was using cough drops all day. After a few months I went to the doctor and got prescribed PPIs. Went away in a few days. Since those aren't good to be on long term, I have been changing my diet and losing weight so I can slowly reduce the medicine. I am down from using Omeprazole daily to a single Pepcid a day.

  6. Yeah it happened to me as well - the vicious cycle of coughing irritating my acid reflux and acid reflux making me cough. Doc put me on Prilosec for a couple of months and I had to clean up my diet. Biggest change for me was limiting myself to one cup of coffee a day and having tea after that, and then just not eating late at night. It took a while, but it cleared up.

  7. "Protecting women" is literally one of the main arguments the Taliban has for their gender discrimination

  8. It's also the main argument U.S. Southerners used for lynch mobs.

  9. If this were a different fantasy series having roughly this much information about the Others at this point in the story would be totally normal. But also if this were a different fantasy series the main series would have been finished 20 years ago and then there would have been a break and then a second series featuring the children of the main characters from the first series and one of the main characters would be an Other so you'd get a lot more information on them.

  10. Dragon Ball is not that naturalistic a psychodrama. There are side references to character attributes that should be taken as sort of half-true jokes that you just let go.

  11. It's not about you. There are a lot of these threads. Most of them are much less interesting than this one.

  12. This also happens with another scroll Scanlan uses to summon something, which is also not a Bard scroll and not something Scanlan would be able to cast, rules as written. But saying no to that is dumb and lame.

  13. They still dont get the option. Member only videos dont synergize with premium. It's working as intended to not be able to play them in the background, even with premium.

  14. Oh wow. It works on live broadcasts on YouTube without a membership but with premium as well as when the video is posted. Is this intended or is it a bug?

  15. Well, originally THE Android was Android 8. There's 5 real-life years between the first appearance of Android 8 and the Android saga. But that's not the point.

  16. Asians being economically successful isn't a stereotype, its a fact. Asians immigrating to America largely after the 60s have thrived while despite not knowing the language. Is your claim that Asians didn't experience racism and that's why they're thriving economically? How about you attempt to have a genuine discussion instead of just accusing me as being racist?

  17. Asians retaining an identity as people of color while economically being much more like white people than like black people suggests changes in the ideas and functions of what people might call “whiteness” - and also suggest the more persistent and entrenched disadvantages suffered by Black and Native American people are not just about being “not white” but involve more specific, targeted discrimination and systemic feedback loops with those groups, with a different complex of effects resulting in different disparities for Latin people in different communities that can go a variety of ways.

  18. No, I meant it the other way - that the relative economic success of Asian immigrants while still maintaining identity as people of color is changing the way white people perceive what the default successful person looks like.

  19. I think it depends if you're talking to somebody who is grieving somebody close to them that they lost, or if it happened to you, vs. if it's like a celebrity or a fictional character.

  20. Yeah, because he thinks there is going to be a ceasefire.

  21. It would be really hilarious if there were a ceasefire signed now and all the student movements in random-ass places along with the Turkish ministry of trade claimed credit for it.

  22. In the 1940s people could have said the same thing about Europe, too.

  23. And sure enough there is a land war currently happening in Europe with almost a half million casualties in the last two years! Which is similar to a war that also happened in 1919!

  24. "No ticket," - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

  25. There’s no such thing as “basic morality.” You’re talking about ethics.

  26. That’s my name, I’ve never heard of a movie with my name so scrolling and seeing that was pretty jarring.

  27. You’re named Willow and you’ve never seen the movie Willow? Oh you’ve got to watch it!

  28. Maybe it’s about how they knew the show was going to end up as a tax write-off.

  29. Go read the manga before saying stuff like this. Her over the top protective motherly behaviour is mostly something exclusive to the anime which Toei tried to use as a comedy stuff, they failed and disrespected the character. In manga, she’s a normal mom and a background character  As for Goku, people should realise that Goku never knew what is a family, what is being a husband and a father. So yeah, she’s the one teaching him all those stuff. And you what? She knew all about this when she chose Goku. If you want to describe and complain about a character, ALWAYS use the original media and not some adaptation made exclusively for profit… That way you will have the original idea/concept that the author actually wanted instead of some vision made by some outside dude paid to adapt something 

  30. Yeah Chi Chi is not in much of the manga, but she's not bad. The page where she finds out about Goku's death and deals with it in silence is I think one of the more moving set of panels in Dragon Ball.

  31. I’m pointing out that universities are choosing manage the disruption by suspending students, closing campus etc. rather than by divesting. I’m suggesting this reveals something about how they order their values.

  32. Your main takeaways IMO from this in terms of a university's values is that universities are internally pluralistic and have a lot of stakeholders who believe different things in complicated bureaucratic structures, and they are committed to supporting the opinions of all these people who don't agree with each other, their main way to address this is to just avoid making moral decisions, so just yelling at them to make moral decisions very rarely does anything. This is why they so constantly embarrass themselves on every moral issue. People at universities have morals. Universities are more like forums and don't really have their own morals all that much.

  33. The fact that so many universities across the country are suspending students asking for divestment from Israel really does give you the feeling that these places consider their academic community and the education they provide as subordinate to the investment portfolio.

  34. They're not suspending them for their political opinions, they're suspending them for taking over public walkways and obstructing people from getting through especially based on questions disproportionately related to Jewishness. They have to do something like this because allowing people to obstruct the movement of students or employees based on their religion, ethnicity, gender, ancestry, veteran status or other protected class is a civil rights violation by the university, among other problems.

  35. Hey so new player here, finished Arcade Quest so I went into ranked to try it out. Got placed at ~7000, but the first opponent it put me against had 20,000+? Is that supposed to happen?

  36. The numbers look big, but those levels are not that different - you will move up quickly.

  37. So i finally reached orange ranks but i want to work on my technique but i'm a little confused on what should i work? I main Jin (both versions) and Reina, so what should i practice first? Wavedashing and electrics (i'm pretty bad at crouch dash and especially electrics), juggling (i'm really bad at it, i can do only some basic juggles) or maybe overall input training?

  38. Now would be a good time to work on combos / juggling. At least get to the point where you have reliable bread-and-butter combos with your major launchers and counter hit launchers - look up options online, either in a character guide (you can find them on relevant discords as well as through searching) or on YouTube. You don't have to optimize them or max them out, but you can if it's fun for you.

  39. Feng. Any time I beat a Feng it feels like unlocking an achievement. Usually because he used some bullshit that always hits me, but this time, it didn't hit me.

  40. These sound good to me for the most part, but I hope the actual language of the circus bill specifies "non-human primates" or else it would effectively just ban all circuses, right?

  41. Looking up the bills they do specify non-human primates. The list of prohibited animals in the actual bills are longer and more specific than what is listed here.

  42. If a lich stays inside a room by themselves surrounded by kill traps, then the players don't have to deal with it until they are very high level, at which point they will also have broken options, and you can also give them broken options if those aren't enough, or they can go on quests to find them or create them.

  43. This. It's almost certain that Terminator 2 was the inspiration. Terminator 2 was a worldwide phenomenon at the time -- everybody was talking about it. Future Trunks appearing shortly after Terminator 2's release and Cell within a year comes off as T2 was the inspiration.

  44. IMO this is a Dune / Star Wars situation where they are both based on John Carter and Princess of Mars.

  45. He's an owner/player/coach. Over 20 years ago he founded a production company that makes a lot of his movies, plus additional ones. He makes deals for other movies he wants to do but has his own source for his own work, he isn't being shopped around by his agents as a star for other people's projects.

  46. Another angle on this is that through his company DiCaprio produces a lot of documentaries, especially nature conservation and environmental protection documentaries. He's done 15 of them since 2007, so on average a little under one a year. He's contributed to Shark Week!
