There are no rules, merely advice to help you avoid making stupid threads.

I disagree with how you are the only one who can provide advice to people.

And this isn’t a stupid thread. These threads were/are good ideas:

• The “I’m Butthurt About Somebody Else’s Opinions/Posts/Whatever” Thread
• The Index Thread for Franchises, General Human Endeavors, and Other Discussion Threads
• Ranking Pizza
• Improving the Diversity of This Forum

You want a HansiG, and you aren’t getting it.

Only two of those threads were good ideas.

I think I might like Saul more than BB. The original is absolutely dazzling, but Saul is much more my kind of show.

I think I might agree with you. Granted, I’ve only finished the first 2 episodes of Saul. Breaking Bad was intense, dark and thrilling, and no doubt a great show. Better Call Saul seems a little more lighthearted, but still has the charm, writing and directing of Breaking Bad.

Also, Ozymandias was an amazing episode, Rian Johnson did an amazing job with it. He also directed Looper, which I absolutely loved, so I have high hopes for Star Wars Episode 8.

I’ve seen a lot of people say that TFA didn’t have a memorable soundtrack, but Kylo Ren’s theme really stuck with me.

Finally finished Breaking Bad. I meandered my way through the first 3 seasons, but once I got halfway into the 4th, I had to finish it as soon as I could. Great show, the last season especially. I feel empty now.

I think I’m gonna watch Better Call Saul next, then probably Sons of Anarchy.

I read one theory that posited that the humans we see in Star Wars were abducted from the Roanoke Colony. It’s silly and far-fetched, but I do think it’s a possibility that the SW humans are descended from Earth humans. Perhaps they found another galaxy as they were exploring the final frontier and colonized it. Either that, or it’s an extraordinary case of convergent evolution.

I feel as though this is overthinking it all.

No such thing.

I seriously doubt that the humans we see in Star Wars are the same humans we have on Earth. That article says that humans are native to Coruscant, so Coruscant must have had to look essentially the same as Earth before it was industrialized into what it is now. And even if Coruscant was a total clone of Earth, it’s totally unlikely that humans would have evolved the same way we did, they would’ve had to adapt to survive entirely different predators than Earth has ever seen.

Maybe add these to interests?

Also, I think it would be good for this thread to be stickied.

And the Legends explanation was that he didn’t have physical arms through which to channel them

I’d love to see Vader shooting lightning from his elbows.

Fuck Roy Phillips. That is all

I like the moral ambiguity of that quest. Helping Roy seems like what’s right at first, but he ends up being just as bad as Tenpenny.

Bears are pretty deceptive. They look cute, but they’re dangerous as hell.

I’m in the market for some good over-ear headphones. Not too expensive, around the $50 range. Anybody know any good ones?

A little above your range, but you can’t go wrong with Sennheisers of almost any price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042A68R8/ref=psdc_12097479011_t3_B000065BPB

I personally use audio-technica M50X headphones, but that’s where my tax refund went instead of to a savings account this year.
😄

Those look pretty good, I’ll probably go with those. Thanks for the suggestion!

WYSHS

There is no real superiority in being part of the generation you are. You just want to feel better than somebody. And I know exactly what you’re going to say, so don’t even try.

Proper spelling and grammar = superiority.

Nope. This is your superiority complex showing out.

This single picture is all that is needed to summarize the US domination of the games so far.

except when it comes to Women’s Soccer.

btw, Hope Solo should be ashamed of herself for being such a sore loser and calling the other team cowards. In fact the whole team should be ashamed of themselves for losing to an inferior team not even making it to the semi-finals.

I’m with Dek, I don’t follow sports or the Olympics at all, so the only thing I know about Hope Solo is this.

Sounds like a lovely person.

You should meet her husband.

I feel bad for their kids.

I assumed yhwx was the only one who didn’t get what is going on here but apparently now there are two of them.

A sad world we live in where there are some who don’t realize anime is complete dog shit.

Now you, Dominic? 😭

Dom generally always sides with Frink, on really anything as far as my memory goes.

And another one joins the Jetrell Fo in the Frink uprising.

Yes. Like when you see anime you see crap and that is what you get when you watch it.

Stop demonizing an entire medium of art.

Anime is not art.

Yes, it is:

art |ärt|

noun

1 the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power: the art of the Renaissance | great art is concerned with moral imperfections | she studied art in Paris.
• works produced by human creative skill and imagination: his collection of modern art | an exhibition of Mexican art | [as modifier] : an art critic.
• creative activity resulting in the production of paintings, drawings, or sculpture: she’s good at art.

Anime doesn’t count.

We don’t make exclusions of things from well-agreed upon non-controversial definitions because we don’t like them.

I think you should recheck that definition you posted.
