  • Familiarity breeds trust. They aren’t trying to sell you insurance. They are trying to get you to think of their name when you shop for insurance. They want you to see Progressive and think, “Yeah, that’s a company I’ve heard of.” If you were choosing between two brands equivalent, and you had never heard of one of them, most people will pick the one they have heard of. That’s why 90% of insurance commercials are just repeating the name of the company and words like “trust” or “value”.



  • The Expanded Universe is not Disney canon. The Solo kids, Chewie, Palpatine clones, Thrawn, none of it played out the way it happens in the books. It is theoretically possible that between The Mandolorian episode where we see youger Jedi Master Luke, and the end of The Force Awakens where we meet Old Jedi Master Luke, that Luke met Mara Jade, got married, and fathered a child. But there was no mention of it in the new Disney trilogy or associated TV shows. So I would assume she doesn’t exist until someone adds her to a story, and even then I wouldn’t assume she would have the same role.










  • DC gets 3 electoral votes. PR gets none. But, Puerto Ricans are Americans, and can move to any state they like and register to vote there. But they do have to establish residency in that state. If they then leave the country and vote by mail, their votes would count in the state where they established residency.

    So someone living in PR who moved to PA, established residency there, and then went home could request an absentee ballot, but I don’t know how long they could live outside the state and still be registered there.
