"So let me get this straight. The Jedi had the jurisdiction to take me from Tatooine but left my mother there a slave? Isn't slavery illegal in the Republic? Could they not have acted?"
"As a cherished mutual always told me, Anakin, a system is what it does."
the reason millenial nerds feel a compulsion to shit on the star wars prequels, despite the obvious cinematic brilliance, is they are played entirely earnest. there is no jim from the office winking at the camera, which makes them excruciating to the irony poisoned millenial mind
If the movie holds up as this trailer suggests, this is the all too familiar pattern of intellectual theft, artistic debasement, and cultural destruction the left is so famous for; this is no different than tearing down statues or tossing soup on works of art. You start with a sublime artistic project, which depends on integrated elements A, B, and C essential to a cohesive story, assembled by a master of his craft, and you say "I don't like these and also, the current culture needs and demands 'D'"
So, rather than crafting a unique story, to fit the culture of the times, with the elements that you want, an undertaking that would require great effort, you simply spray your graffiti on another work and call it art. But at some point people will realize that the debasement of the art, and the humiliation of those who appreciate it, IS the purpose of the current culture, and that will be the moment when people stop supporting things like this.
Woke up super early for work. I leave at 6AM. Nobody is awake. I was feeling kind of down.
I get in my car. It’s super dark outside. I back out and noticed my 6y/o son has opened the door, walked outside, and is staring at me.
I park the car & get out.
Me: Hey… what’s up?
Son: I just… wanted to give you a hug before you left.
Me: Oh! Yeah of course!
(We start hugging.)
Me: Sorry, bud. I didn’t know you were awake. Otherwise I would’ve said bye.
Son: I got out when you were leaving. I was banging on the window, but you didn’t hear me.
Me: You were? Well thank you for coming outside, then. I’m glad you did.
We let go and he runs back in side. There’s days where I just don’t feel like I’m a good at all. I thank God for moments like this, because I need them.
@tierniestaa Recently added Heretics of Dune from the Folio Society to my collection. This isn't all of it. I have many different versions, as well as the graphic novels. Dune is my favorite novel and. I've went through the first four novels more than 4 or 5 times.
@MattWalshBlog The people that can't tell are low IQ NPCs. They're barely any different than the LLMs they parrot. LLMs pass the Turing test with them precisely because they themselves fail it.
