I think cuisine falls under the category of culture.
Did you post in the wrong forum or has this thread been moved?
One of these is not like the others.
Make sure to cut the can opener into thin slices or it won’t develop its full flavour.
Do you include the plastidip grips? I can never decide. I can always separate them and put them in the freezer until fondue night.
The grips are the best parts!
Tell me, if someone were to say to you that abortion is not a huge and controversial issue, would you waste time trying to convince the guy that he was wrong?
Ok, I am going to re-word this to make crystal clear what I meant here.
Tell me, if someone were to say to you that 1 + 1 does not equal 2, would you waste time trying to convince the guy that he was wrong?
I don’t even know how to respond to this. 1+1=2 is an empirical fact. “Immigration is a problem” and “abortion is a problem” are not empirical facts, they’re opinions.
Aaaactually, you cannot
oroveprove that 1+1=2. It is an axiom. And 1+1 isn’t always 2, in binary it’s 10.I don’t know how to respond to this either, or what an axiom is.
If I have one of a thing, and I take another one of that thing and put them together, I now have two of that thing. 1+1=2.
I think I’m starting to understand how Warbler feels sometimes because I don’t understand what the fuck binary has to do with anything either.
An axiom is a definition that is used to build mathematics. You cannot (formally) prove it, so you just have to accept it. And choosing to accept or reject certain axioms can lead to very different versions of mathematics.
But nothing of that has anything to do with politics.
Stupid phone keyboard.

Remember when we were considered the fan fringe just for asking if we could get a restored OOT? My how times have changed!
The amount of dragging I’ve seen on twitter over this is next level. Absolutely hilarious. I also love the totally real and not at all fake $16.9mil that they have already raised for it.
Good for them. Now they only need 236.5 million more.
I don’t think he’s saying that religion is the reason for crime, but rather giving an example of how atheism is not directly leading to the downfall of society.
“the more secular a US state, the less crime-ridden it is.”
Ok, I was only referring to his latest post, this quote seems like an oversimplification.

Ooh, apple cider doesn’t have alcohol? My mistake. It was cider. With alcohol.
But then, what is apple cider? Isn’t it just apple juice?
Last week I had to show my ID to buy apple cider. You can legally buy it with 16 years here.
I’m 27.
JEDIT: And this is how you ruin your chance to appear in the “guess my age” thread.
My favorite sex position is quantum superposition.
Is that the one where you can only know where you are doing it or how fast you are doing it, but not both? That could get really awkward.
Yes, my point is that if Lucas found a way to continue making great movies, I don’t think anyone would be unhappy if he made the ST this way. After the disaster that the PT is, however, I’d rather have the ST that we have now, than experimenting with a “constrained” Lucas.
If Lucas had been given as much control over the ST as he had over TESB, I would’ve been completely fine with that.
Before we talk about Lucas making the ST that way, we should talk about him doing the PT (and Jedi) that way, because these movies are more in need of improvement.
You other posters can’t deny that pressing big buttons is fun.
I don’t read any OPs. I just scroll past them to see if there is a button I can press. I like to press buttons.
Post does not contain any ranking. Reported!
Hey, I want to read the other 19 points of that list, too. Don’t leave me hanging like that.
Naah, it’s proof that it has always been George’s Original Vision™ to make the SEs and bury the theatrical cuts.
Strammer Max. A slice of bread with smoked ham, fried egg and cheese. Then heated in the oven until the cheese starts to melt. Simple and tasty.
Well, I don’t.
Trolling aside, The Autistic Asexual has a point.
Why the hell is TFA held in such high regard? I’ve noticed many people have ranked in the upper half of their lists what is essentially a copy-paste of the first SW movie. The reasons commonly given are:
- It made SW enjoyable again.
- It did an excellent job setting up the ST.
- The characters are engaging and well written.
I say Bullshit! All this movie does is recycle the Empire vs Rebels setting of the OT, rebranding them as the First Order and the Resistance. When I first saw TFA I couldn’t stop asking myself how can the FO be every bit as powerful and wealthy as the Empire when it’s made up of leftovers?
The only character I really liked was Rey even if she was way too skilled at everything for someone whose daily routine consists of scavenging ship parts. Finn was an annoying buffoon an Kylo Ren came off as a whiner rather than a menacing villain.In case anybody here missed it TFA is currently my lowest ranked SW and has earned the distinction of being the only SW movie I didn’t like at all.
The main reason why many people rank TFA high is not that they think it’s a flawless masterpiece, but simply that they don’t like the prequels at all. “It’s better than the prequels” isn’t a very high bar to jump, but it means that TFA is already in the middle of the list. And ROTJ isn’t exactly stellar, either.
Of course that’s all personal opinion and it’s fine if you like the prequels, but I hope you can at least understand that others do not.
If we’re nice to them now, they might spare us when they take over the world.
Saying something is not part of your personal canon isn’t quite the same as calling it fan fiction.
