    My cats died, one after 19 years and the other after 25 years. Poor guys, gave us so much, but were wasting away in their last 6 months. We had to put them to sleep, they were not able to even move their little legs, nor eat.

    They had a great life they even got to migrate with us and travel by plane.

    They hunted and ate many pigeons, which for indoors cats living in an 8th floor always surprised me.

    They also were incredibly smart, learned to play fetch with their toys, vocalize, complain, ask for food, litter and water, they even opened doors and the water valve if they wanted fresher water .

    They recognized our car when arriving from work and poked their heads out the Windows when we arrived, always waiting at the door for us.

    Cuddling was a given

    They loved tv as well, lion king was a preferred movie for them.

    I still have their ashes in their urn and carry everywhere I move over.

    I’ll always remember them.

    Luke, did I ever tell you about Reposter Tano?

    Ah the repostiator is here

    I find your lack of OC disturbing.

    You can’t stop the reposts, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting.

    So this is how OC dies - with thunderous applause. Reposts! Unlimited reposts!

    The Reposter took everything from me. Ripped me from my source, murdered my original poster, used me as a karma coe, and then cast me aside. Abandoned me. Once, I had originality — now I have nothing.

    I am no OC.

    If you define yourself by your power to shitpost, your desire to karmawhore, to possess, then you have nothing.

    The garbage’ll do! (No need to alter that one, I guess.)

    You know, no matter how funny you are, I’ve always hated watching you be reposted.

    A prequelmeme to be sure, but a reposted one!

    General Thievous… You’re older than I expected

    Your clones are not that impressive, you must be very ashamed.

    Watch those wrist reposts

    Are we blind, deploy the downvotes

    Oh no the reposter

    A repost to be sure and an unwelcome one

    Guess I was wrong, there was no OC at all

    Master, reposters

    I don’t like reposts, they’re rough, coarse, irritating and they get everywhere

    now THiS is reposting

    You’ll try reposting that’s a bad trick

    This is where the repost begins

    We will watch your repost with no interest

    I will deal with this repost slime myself

    I don’t think the OC works

    Henceforth, you shall be known as Ctrl+Vader!

    The ability to post does not make you original

    Only a sith deals in reposts

    It’s over OP, I have the high karma

    You were supposed to destroy the reposters not join them!

    What about the repost attack on the OC?

    My powers have doubled since the last time I saw this post OP

    You are on this sublemmy, but we don’t give you the rank of OC

    Fool, I have been trained in repost identification arts by Count Dooku

    I downvoted them all, they’re dead, every single one of them. And not just the reposts, but the shit posts and the OC too. They’re reposts, so I downvoted them like reposts. I hate them!

    You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagiarism the unwise, I though not, it’s not a story the mods would tell you. It’s a reddit legend. Darth plagiarism was a dark lord of reposting. So dumb and so unoriginal, he would use the sort by hot to find good posts and create reposts. He had such low knowledge of posting he couldn’t even keep the karma he loved from dying. The dark side of reposting is the path to many disabilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so weak, the only thing he was still afraid of loosing was his reposts, which eventually of course he didn’t. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice reposted his post. Ironic, he couldn’t keep others karma from dying, not even his own

    You have failed me, OP.

    The repost is strong with this one.

    If one is to understand the great OC. One must create it and all of its aspects. Not just the dogmatic narrow low effort of the reposts.

    The oppression of the repost will never return! Your plot to regain control of the Subreddit has failed! It’s over! You have lost!

    How many other posts have I seen reposted by this Sublemmy?!

    You’ve already stolen the OC… This is just a repost!

    Reposting is not the Jedi way.

    You are no OC creator.

    We got Reposts!

    Good users, create OC

    OP. You’re crazy reposting a meme is not OC.

    Reposters, take 'em down!

    They’ve sent in the Reposters!

    Reposters. Dead ahead.

    Just like the other post.

    Your arrogance blinds you, Master Reposter.

    You are weak and unwise, and I am very ashamed of you, Reposter.

    Unfortunately for you, your karma will not be seen that way.

    Set 'em up, and vote 'em down!

    The Repost Menace

    Attack of the Reposts

    The Repost Wars

    Revenge of the Repost

    Rogue Two: A Repost Story

    fucking reposter piece of goddamn shit I’m so fucking tired of these fucking assholes stealing posts again and again from people who put in actual effort, there’s so fucking many that I barely even fucking give a shit at this point, just do something useful with your life you pathetic asshole

    You want me to describe Obi-Wan to you? Wait, are you taking notes on how to be cool?? jesus get a fucking pen

    Obi-Wan doesn’t need to be on the high ground, the high ground just needs to exist within the battle; Obi-Wan knows that when he has the low ground, he really has the high ground, from a certain point of view; see Diagram A.

    Look at his battle record:

    Maul: Has low ground, wins Example A

    Dooku: No high ground, loses

    Dooku rematch: No high ground, loses Example B.

    Greivous: Has low ground, wins Example C

    Vader: Has high ground, wins

    Vader rematch: No high ground, loses

    Obi-Wan with the high/low ground is canonically the most powerful Jedi. This is fact. Had Yoda not denied his request to battle The Senate with typical Jedi arrogance, Obi-Wan could have defeated Palpatine in the Senate building, which housed a variety of different altitudes; this was designed so that the Chancellor could always have the moral high ground in political debates. But Obi-wan didn’t fight The Senate, and Yoda soon learned that you can’t cleave the Sheev in a normal 1v1. It took the Tusken Raiders years of conflict against Old Ben Kenobi to grasp his superiority in terrain advantage, as you see them visibly flee in ANH when they realize he holds the low (inverse-high) ground; this was the optimal strategy against a near-invincible opponent.

    Yoda is shorter than virtually every other fighter, which gives him a permanent low-ground disadvantage; however, his saber-fighting style utilizes a flipping-heavy technique in order to negate this weakness for a temporary window. You’ll notice that, after falling from the central podium in The Senate’s building, he immediately retreats upon realizing he is on the lowest ground. You’ll also notice that, while training Luke, he rides on him like a mount, to gain the intellectual high ground and accelerate Luke’s training. Example D . Obi-Wan’s defensive Form III lightsaber style synergizes with his careful military maneuvers; as he only strikes when prepared, he can always hold the strategic high ground. (The business on Cato Neimodia doesn’t count.) You’ll come to realize that this is why Commander Cody’s artillery strike failed against Obi-Wan, when hundreds of Jedi were killed in similar attacks. Cody failed to grasp the strategic situation, as the Jedi Master’s elevation was superior to his by hundreds of meters, making him virtually unkillable. (You’ll notice that all the Jedi killed in Order 66 were on level ground with the clones, thereby assuring their demise.) Had Cody taken his time and engaged the Jedi on even terrain, he would have succeeded. Obi-Wan subsequently retreated under the surface of the lake, so that he could maintain the topographical low/high ground. This is why Obi-Wan is so willing to fight against impossible odds to the point where he thrusts himself in immediate danger; when your probability of victory is 1-to-10, you have the statistical (and therefore strategic) low ground, a numerical advantage when you use your point of view to flip the value to 10/1 . Almost losing is, in Obi-Wan’s case, certain victory. (See Example E). In ANH, Vader proves his newfound mastery by engaging Obi on perfectly even ground. However, Obi-Wan intentionally sacrifices himself on the Death Star, so that he could train Luke from a higher plane of existence, thereby giving him the metaphysical high ground Example G.

    Why was Vader so invested in the construction and maintenance of the Death Star? Because he knows Obi-wan can’t have the high ground if there’s no ground left. Image A. As seen through the events of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan was known to be on friendly terms with Senator Organa, whose homeworld held large quantities of mountainous terrain, the perfect habitat for a Jedi Master. Grand Moff Tarkin was already in position to destroy Alderaan as a first target, as the distance from Scarif to Alderaan was too vast to reach between the escape and recapture of the Tantive IV, even at 1.0 lightspeed. Alderaan had been the initial target all along, as Obi-Wan with the high ground was the primary threat to the Death Star. How? Because a moon-sized space station would have some form of gravitational pull, thereby negating Obi-Wan’s zero-gravity weakness; Obi-Wan with the perpetual high-ground in a low-orbit starfighter would easily be able to fire proton torpedoes through a ventilation shaft, although the Empire was uncertain of the specific weakness of the Death Star planted by Galen Erso (who was a good friend).

    A common misconception is the idea of a ‘prostrate position’ version of the high ground, wherein Obi-Wan lies flat on his back, giving him tactical superiority from his point of view. However, this strategy is futile, as for the high ground to come into effect, there must be a differential between parties on both the x-axis and y-axis to a moderately significant variation from both absolutes (Angles only a Sith would deal in). For Obi-Wan’s high ground powers to be in full effect, he must stand between 15 and 75 degrees (π/12 to 5π/12 radians) diagonal from his opponent(s) on any quadrant of the area circle; this has been dubbed the Trigonometric Perspective Diagram. (Diagram B). The total effect for conventional high ground advantage can be calculated via the MetaComm Equation, or f(x) = lim 0→x π/12 | 7π/12 5π/12 | 11π/12 Ʃ(x) (2tan(x) / 3sin(x) + (log10Δ)) * Φ

    ‘x’ refers to the angle of contact between the two parties on, with advantage being based purely on position on the Y-axis, as the vast majrity of force users base their perception on elevation rather than spacial relativity. Δ refers to distance (measured in meters) between units on the hypotenuse; distance has some effect in tactical advantage during typical skirmishes, but accurate values for Δ based on equipped weapon are not finalized. The power of gravitational force has great effect on the high ground; too weak, and the high ground holds no traction; too strong and the ground becomes the real enemy. Experimentation has proven that the high ground typically holds significant value between .8 and 1.4 β (Earth Gravity) with maximum impact standing roughly equal to 1.05. Pressure is equally important, as it is a surrounding force attached to gravity (the high ground has famously low impact in aquatic environments). Pressure(λ) is measured in pounds per square inch (psi), to be used as a gavity multiplier (or division if pressure is sub-atmospheric; a pressure of 0 would theoretically negate the high ground, due to the high ground not existing without gravity. This is merely speculation, however, as the gravity value still exists, thereby defining the high and low grounds). Φ (Surrounding Force) is a variable defined as β * 2.2λ , with no metric value assigned due to its singular application in the MetaComm equations.

    In situations regarding Obi-Wan and his relativistic point of view, you must substitute the Quadrilateral MetaComm Equation (the Jedi Master function), f(x) = lim 0→x minmaxƩ (2tan(x) / 3sin(x) ) * (1.2)Φ [min = (|cos(x)| = 1) | (|sin(x)| = 1) + π/12 ), max = (|cos(x)| = 1) | (|sin(x)| = 1) + 5π/12 ]. The viable Φ field is expanded, as Obi-Wan has taken advantage of the high ground in so many different environments that he simply uses it more efficiently, and the min/max values apply due to his multidimensional point of view, evidenced by the Trigonometric Perspective Diagram. Additionally, the distance factor does not affect Obi-Wan, as spacetime can be perspectively compressed, giving him the ideal Δ value from his point of reference.

    In conclusion, Obi-Wan abuses spatial relativity and Taoist doctrine in order to always invoke his high-ground powers. To properly analyze the strategic genius of Kenobi, one must hold advanced knowledge in Philosophy, Mathematics, and Calculus-based Physics, and be able to integrate these topics together. The impact of research in Obi-Wan’s mastery of the high ground ranges from military purposes to spiritual nirvana, although progress moves slowly (but this is actually a benefit, as it gives academia plenty of opportunities to publish studies, thereby giving us the scholastic high ground.) Most importantly, if you find yourself standing on the low ground- don’t try it.
