I don’t want to veer too off topic, but I personally don’t think your threads are substantially more shitpost-y than other peoples’, or that you have a higher percentage of shitpost-y threads than other people.

Where’s ol’ Spuffy keeping himself these days, anyway?

Probably back in school.

His last activity was back in mid-July. No reasonable school starts then.

Your first mistake is assuming that any school district is the least bit reasonable.

Conversations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who argued that Congress — rather than the executive branch — is responsible for writing immigration law, helped persuade the president to terminate the program, the two sources said, though White House aides caution that — as with everything in the Trump White House — nothing is set in stone until an official announcement has been made.

I’m glad to see that Sessions isn’t slacking when it comes to being the worst person in the White House.

• Finally, bear with me on this last one: I know Adywan intends to restore Sebastian Shaw as Anakin’s Force ghost. I understand why; regardless of one’s like or dislike of the prequels, it was staggeringly sloppy and lazy of Lucas to simply reuse existing footage of Hayden’s head that hadn’t even been aged up to look like a man who’d be in his late forties. Having said that…Shaw still presents the audience with the opposite problem: Obi-Wan standing next to his former student as played by someone a decade older than Alec Guinness. Is there any sort of visual tweaking that could be applied to make Shaw look somewhat younger, somewhat easier to connect with the character audiences know from either the prequels or the Clone Wars? Facial tweaking, more hair, darker robes, anything?

I’d love this, and it’s something that I think Adywan is talented enough to pull off. Give Anakin his ROTS robes and make him look more like a 40 year old man than a 78 year old man.

Police Video Continues To Confirm What Everybody Already Knows:

https://twitter.com/keithboykin/status/903253019059421185

I think the cop was trying to make a sarcastic joke, but that was dumb thing to say. Really stupid. In this case, I would understand if this bothered/offended African Americans. At best, this is very insensitive to what is going on in the country right now and with all the problems cops are having with the African American community.

I’m leaning towards this, as well. That said, it’s a horrible joke on a lot of levels. His delivery was awful, if it weren’t for him saying “right?”, I’d have taken him 100% seriously. Also not really the type of situation you should crack a joke in, at least not a joke like that. Not trying to defend him or say that he didn’t do anything wrong, though. I’m thinking he’ll be fired for this for making the department look bad; unlike the cops that actually kill people for poor or non-existent reasons, they’re only placed on leave.

So, not fired, but it sounds like the department wasn’t going to go easy on him.

Suri Chadha Jimenez, a lawyer who represented the car’s driver, said the officer responded in an “unprofessional” way to what he saw as the reasonable concern of the woman, whom he described as a friend of the driver.

“My understanding is the cop is joking,” Chadha Jimenez said by phone, adding that it was “a nasty, sarcastic, untasteful joke.” The driver was later convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol, Jimenez said.

It might have been funny if it came from anybody other than a police officer.

Agreed.

Wait, is it nu-c-u-lar or new-clear?

The latter, objectively.

What is the correct way to pronounce “nuclear,” by the way? I don’t want to sound uneducated… or maybe I do.

Also, I doubt that very many people care how people pronounce nuclear.

New-CLEAR

I find that Supremacy to be a refreshing break from the typical arrowhead design of star destoyers.

I agree, I quite like the Supremacy.

I assume 9 is the movie, which I’ve never seen but supposedly sucks.

You may be right; and in that case, I agree.

I just realised that I haven’t updated my list for a while (my opinion changes a lot), so I’ll do that now.

1. The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
2. A New Hope (1977)
3. The Force Awakens (2015)
4. Revenge of the Sith (2005)
5. Attack of the Clones (2002)
6. Return of the Jedi (1983)
7. Rogue One (2016)
8. The Phantom Menace (1999)
9. The Clone Wars (2008)

Yeah, I’ll get some flak for four and five, but honestly, I’ve kinda lost all my hate for those ones. I enjoy 'em.

I wouldn’t give you flak for 4 or 5; 9, on the other hand…

I’d really like to hear why you think it’s wrong to protest the National Anthem. So far all I see is you saying “It’s wrong because it’s wrong,” with no reasoning as to why it’s wrong.

I answered this last year in the original politics thread. Here is what I said:

I’ll tell you why it upsets me. When the National Anthem is played, it is not a time to make a political statement,

Why not?

it is a time to show respect for the country.

Who says?

The Anthem and flag aren’t about what is going with current politics. They aren’t about Obama or the Democrats or the Republicans or the current policy of the day. They symbolize America.

And that’s what they’re protesting. They’re upset with the state of America.

Freedom,

Such freedom of speech?

justice,

Like the justice, or rather, injustice; that they’re protesting?

rights,

Perhaps the right to protest?

equality.

Which they view as very important, as evidenced by their protesting.

They symbolize the ideal, not necessary what the current politicians are doing. And yes, they symbolize all the sacrificing and fighting and dying done to make this country and to preserve it. To me, when you protest the National Anthem, you are not protesting the bad cops and racists and whatnot, you are protesting the idea of America.

They are only protesting what they choose to protest. If they’re sitting down during the national anthem to protest inequalities of some sort, then that’s all they’re protesting.

You are protesting what makes this nation great.

What really makes this nation great is it’s freedom.

You protesting those that sacrificed to make this nation great.

I thought those soldiers died for our freedom.

Finally to me, it is just an unwritten rule that years ago, no one would have thought of breaking: You don’t protest things like the flag or the Nation Anthem. You just don’t do it. It classless.

I wouldn’t use the people of the past as a moral measurement, they were pretty horrible.

Warbler said:

You think whatever you want. If you don’t already know why protesting the national anthem is wrong, I can’t help you.

What, no “soldiers DIED for that flag!” or anything?

not protest of it own national anthem.

What’s the difference? Protest is protest.

not all protests are the same.

Yes, sitting down for the national anthem is just as horrible as claiming gay people are subhuman.

that is not what I meant or what I said.

Then what were you trying to say? That protesting the anthem is an ‘ignoble’ protest of some sort? Because you’re gonna have to convince me.

Nah, I’m pretty sure you just crossed everything out and totally missed the point 😛

patriots don’t disrespect the national anthem.

Why not, it’s not like the anthem can be upset about it. Who is it hurting?

*rolls eyes*

This conversation won’t go anywhere if we keep getting to dead ends like this.
