My entry point into Star Wars was KotOR so I’ve always been pretty critical of the average Star Wars media. I really enjoyed Rogue One, Andor, Mandalorian S1&2, and Clone Wars S7. Star Wars can deliver sometimes.
With a budget of $180M I was hopeful that Acolyte could be great, and it hasn’t delivered yet.
My 2yo niece visited last week and wouldn’t stop singing this.
At the very least, they should raise real estate taxes on empty units. This will penalize people for owning several vacation homes, as well as incentivize landlords to lower rates in order to fill the unit.
Difficult to enforce, but send a few people to jail for real estate tax fraud and the rest will fall in line.
Well, according to China, those waters are their territory, which means that the presence of foreign military vessels is an invasion.
Practically speaking, I think you could call that area a contested region, so minor skirmishes like this are expected and could escalate to war (like Crimea eventually did).
I think that the Philippines approach has been something like, ‘You can claim those waters if you want, but you can’t possibly keep us from entering them, so we’re just going to ignore you until you start killing our people, and then we’re gonna call in big brother America.’
I’m a plate DPS main and I married a healer. There is a lot of pressure to ‘just tank’ for her.
Ryan Fortnine made this point by climbing inside the engine compartment of a Dodge Ram.
They didn’t modify the truck and dude is over 6’ tall.
Sometime between now and September, if you look to the left-hand side of the Northern Crown, what will look like a new star will shine for five days or so.
Pretty cool if you own a telescope and are into astronomy, but not exactly solar flare levels of hype here. Don’t wake up your SO and drag them out onto the lawn at 2am to show them this Nova.
Miranda knows that she can continue to pocket a majority of the restaurant profits if she can get the staff to blame each other for their discontentments.
I think that the article gives Donny Boy a little too much credit. They assume that his tweet was the beginning of some long con, but it’s probably just dementia. L’Homme Orange may actually believe he’s gonna debate someone on Fox News in October.
Yes, please, go vote. This election is a great opportunity to win a landslide victory and shift American politics further left.
They skipped the era of country music that was “I love my dog more than my wife, but don’t ask me to choose between my dog and my truck”
Compelling villains are written with a deeper motivation for their actions than just ‘hurt people’ or ‘be evil’ and they have a tendency to challenge the status quo in some way. Such villains become sympathetic because the current status quo is oppressive.
It must be very difficult to write a villain for a contemporary piece of media because they can very quickly become a hero of the people.
You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.
That’s a good point, but I’m definitely paying more taxes now than I was before. My new state has income tax and tangible property (vehicle) tax that Florida didn’t have. I looked up tax distribution for my county and the majority goes into education, so I can’t complain too much.
I recently gave up my 3% mortgage from 2013 in exchange for a 7% mortgage. It hurts, but it was worth it to get out of Florida.
In the end, my housing costs actually didn’t change that much because my home insurance rates were skyrocketing.
I never called for a ban. I said maybe go out and explore the forest before climbing up the family tree. And it’s my understanding that most women understand the risk of procreating after 40 and typically avoid it.
But I’m not your daddy. You don’t need my approval to fuck your uncle’s kids.
It’s not because it’s “icky”, it’s because if you both have the same grandma then you only have one snickerdoodle recipe for Christmas cookies, genetically speaking.
There are 8 billion people on this planet now. Surely you can find someone other than your cousin.
It really shouldn’t need to be illegal, but I guess residents of the volunteer state require a little more incentive to find dates before the holidays, rather than during them.
Man, just existing on Tatooine is hard work.
-It’s a desert planet run by crime lords.
-The natives carry rifles and kidnap people just to torture them to death.
-There are little goblins driving tanks around the countryside stealing anything that isn’t sand.
-The sand is rough and coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere.
-Krayt Dragons
There’s only one type of tank found beneath houses and that’s a septic tank.
