@McGet99@lw_populist@mjarbo Seems veeeeery Mace-like to me. Dont suffer a Sith Lord to live.
Again it’s interesting where people get their sense that Jedi are these perfect moral exemplars and Luke is the most incorruptible. I don’t actually see that in the movies…. (EU alert)
@lw_populist@mjarbo I suppose… it is off screen in flashback. But the last time we saw him canonically he went apeshit on Vader and only barely pulled himself back from the brink. I have to wonder how much of “Luke would never” is pulled from people’s understanding outside the movies.
@dark_road_games The people switched to digital themselves via Napster + BitTorrent, and media companies HATED it. They wanted to keep selling you scarce, marked up physical items, and were dragged kicking + screaming to digital. Streaming options were LATE & met consumers where they already were
@jandrewellis Notice how anti-AI people will decry it for taking jobs, and then in the next breath celebrate that it can’t take jobs because it doesn’t work?

@RealNicoLagan Why does a country like Canada have these laws?
South Korea doesn't have them, despite living next to a security threat.
Israel doesn't have them, despite living next to a threat.
Canada has them because we are a weak target for surveillance hawks who want to push it worldwide
@brianlilley A political party defined by its 180s. I mean… good. But aren’t you disturbed by a group that continually pushes the most wrong legislation possible and has to be shamed by the public into abandoning it?
