You’ll see the upvotes from all federated instances. Downvotes are not federated evenly. Kbin is like that, I assume fedia.io is the same. I don’t see the downvotes I get on Lemmy instances. Sometimes that’s a good thing.

Think of Luke as a religious reformist in a way, rejecting the institutions of a religion while not rejecting the religion itself. He was Martin Luther with a lightsaber.

So he’s a splitter…

But seriously, we all know that Lucas was flying by the seat of his pants writing the sequels and that his wife is the real hero of Star Wars. Everything that came afterwards was created by someone else. In the end Lucas’s story, Luke still used dark side powers. He called himself “Jedi”, but he was simply a Force user with wild ideas about the past. There were no strictly light side users or dark side users anymore. There was simply the Force. If you want to take extended canon into account, Yoda even stated this when he destroyed the last of the Jedi archives. He understood that balance could only be truly restored by letting go of the past.

What he intended and what he showed us are two different things. By the end of ROTJ, there were no more Sith and no real Jedi left. Luke called himself a Jedi, but didn’t really follow the strict rules and didn’t completely shun the dark side. He simply used it without anger. At that point, balance was truly restored.

And that’s exactly what happened. Jedi tried to eliminate the Sith, the balance was lost, the Sith created the Choose One to bring back balance to the force, a whole lot of death and destruction ensued, and balance was restored.

Don’t be a completionist.

But how do I avoid feeling that horrible sense of emptiness? It’s not done until it’s 100%…

Out of curiosity, what are dreams like for you? Is that also just a stream of sounds without images?

Which is a travesty, because I slept on that show for that exact reason. Then I got curious and watched it. The prison episodes were far beyond anything I expected. This is what all the other live action shows are missing. Actual consequences…

You mean that a game show where you have to guess the price of several brand name products, which gives away prizes provided by their sponsors that are featured prominently during the entire show is really just a big long commercial?

I forcefully blew air out of my nose.

Personally…I embraced my curly hair and started learning how to take care of it.

It started with the No-shampoo movement. The thing about most shampoos, especially dandruff shampoos, is that that are very harsh. “The tingling tells you it’s working” is bullshit. That’s your skin drying out from the chemicals. And the more you use it, the more dandruff you have when you stop and the more you need to use it. It’s a vicious cycle. Then you have to use a conditioner just to try to put moisture back into your scalp, but silicones can’t hydrate like natural oils that your scalp produces can. The biggest confusion is not washing my hair for a few days, and ending up with dandruff and greasy hair.

After not shampooing for about 3 months and then only using shampoo once every 2 weeks, I found that my dandruff almost disappeared. Almost…because I was still using harsh shampoos that would strip all the moisture from my head and dry out my scalp. My hair would be oily for a few days and then return to normal after a few showers. That’s when I decided to grow out my hair and learn to take care of the curls. I discovered that most shampoo are harsh because of the sulfates, parabens, phthalates, alcohols, and other chemicals designed specifically to strip your hair of oils. Switching to sulfate free shampoos stopped that cycle immediately. Learning about conditioners and other hair products brought out curls that practically every woman I meet would kill to have for themselves. And I haven’t had dandruff or itchy dry scalp ever since, even on the coldest and driest days in the winter.

Treat your beard the same way. The skin underneath still needs the oils it produces to stay healthy. Use the same sulfate free shampoo to wash your beard and allow your skin to heal and rehydrate naturally.

That was more chaos winning than evil. Blowing up credit institutions and wiping everyone’s debt is far from evil in most people’s eyes.

That sounds like an Apple product to me.

When you think about it, all meals are breakfast because you’re breaking the fast that started after the last meal.

Isn’t this also the basic plot of Interstellar?

Nothing…that’s just how they perceive themselves.

More stable, has all the required features, but can break down without warning with cryptic messages about what’s wrong. Needs a little more testing and development before moving into the real world. So basically…teenagers.

While that would have been awesome, it was also at the height of Robin Williams’ career and at the time TV was seen as the death knell for actors. The best you could hope for would be a cartoon with a different voice actor, but you would have been disappointed.

Live action coming again 2027

You assume the trolley existed to begin with. There’s no guarantee that Ozymandias’ predictions were right. We’ve been there before, in real life, and turned it back. Nothing says that wouldn’t have happened in their world as well. That’s why he’s not actually a good guy…he took away the option to choose, and killed millions in the process.

…by killing millions. Let’s not forget that part.
