I’m not sure sure what you’re referring to by this.

A crucifix is a depiction of a Roman cross with Christ nailed to and hanging from it. I’m saying the real Jesus of Nazareth, be He Christ or not, is not on the cross anymore, and the depictions of Christ on a crucifix are not real.

I’m saying that it makes zero sense no matter how you slice it.

Trump voter panelist: “If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, ‘Hold on a second. I need to check with the President if it’s true.’” https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/932579767202844672/video/1

That assumes he’s still on the cross…?!?

Whether one believes Jesus is actually the Christ or not (and therefore either Risen or still dead), I think we can all agree he’s not literally still hanging there.

I mean, if he was talking about a depiction of Christ coming down off of a crucifix, that still doesn’t make sense, because that suggests the actual Man didn’t actually exist.

*fewer. 😉

I noticed a couple dead pixels on my Nintendo Switch’s screen last night. I have a screen protector so it’s not my fault. Unfortunately, word is that Nintendo says a limited number of dead pixels are a normal occurrence on LCDs so they don’t deem it worthy of replacement. Even if that’s true, it’s still annoying.

I used to call them thongs when I was a kid because my parents called them that. But my wife called them flip flops so now I call them that instead.

Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat.

All I can say is: Apple is decidedly not for me. As I said in Banned Users, putting Bootcamp with Windows on a Mac defeats the purpose; I build my own PC from parts, and I like being able to upgrade or replace various parts at will; the “walled garden” of iOS infuriates me; and I’m a gamer, so the PC market is a better choice.

If Obi-Wan wanted to help Anakin he’d have killed him instead of letting him burn alive.

Yes.

I get the feeling this thread was created because of me. Because I ranked the Star Wars films largely in the order of frequency with which I had been watching them at the time.

It wasn’t. It was created long before you posted as frequently as you do. It was posted directly in response to a since-banned troll user named Bosk that created a thread titled What Didn’t You Like About TFA? so that he could repeatedly make the same complaints over and over again about how TFA was the worst film in recent memory.

Oh. I remember that thread.

Apple is vanilla. It’s easy to use, if you use it the way Apple intends you to use it. But that’s about the most going for it.

I’d argue against your vanilla point, as if you actually used an Apple product, they’re very opinionated in their design of things

See; iPhone 7 headphone jack.

Yes.

Also, Google’s Pixel 2 has no headphone jack anymore.

I have a Moto Z Play. Before that, I had a Motorola Droid Turbo; and before that a Droid RAZR M. Motorola seems to use fairly stock Android, and I find that I like stock (which means Samsung’s TouchWiz UX skin bugs me). I do have a custom home screen app installed, though.

Z Play is somewhat midrange on specs, but the battery life is hands down amazing. My Droid Turbo had a 3900mAh battery, which at the time was the largest stock battery for a phone, but the 2K display ate battery so quickly you couldn’t really tell.

Well, at the time that I ranked the Star Wars films, I got flak for ranking The Empire Strikes Back somewhat low on the list and Revenge of the Sith higher on it because I had then watched ROTS and SW umpteen times very recently. They were what I would watch to get my “fix”.

@yhwx I’m a gamer. Macs are not for gamers. Yes, Steam does have a decent Mac game library catalogue now, but it pales in comparison to PC.

And Macs are still grossly overpriced.

JEDIT: Also, on my Android phone, this is my home screen.

Some of those are folders; some of them are not. I can’t make an iPhone look like this. And that’s just part of the many issues I have with it. I can’t set Chrome as the default browser. I can’t set Google Maps (or Waze or whatever) as the default navigation app (ie. tap an address in Contacts and it opens Google Maps).

Apple is vanilla. It’s easy to use, if you use it the way Apple intends you to use it. But that’s about the most going for it. In my opinion, beyond that it’s just hype and brand loyalty. I’ve heard several people claim that Apple is more stable, but I’ve also heard others argue the exact opposite.

JEDIT 2:

Trying to make things so that a wide cross-section of people can use a technology without reading a four-hundred page manual is not dumbing things down so that a monkey could use it. In fact, that’s pretty insulting to the people who don’t want to or can’t read that four-hundred page manual.

My point is not that Apple caters to idiots and as such people who like Apple must be so. My point is Apple is very user-friendly-centric to the point of blocking off certain customizations, both in the front end and the back end, that I desire (many of which don’t come to mind, but I could immediately point out with an iPhone in hand)—and in being so it’s simply not for me.

I get the feeling this thread was created because of me. Because I ranked the Star Wars films largely in the order of frequency with which I had been watching them at the time.

All of this arguing is making me tired.

Have you seen the Ridiculous fanedits yet?

There’s a big difference between an edit and conversational humor.

Both speak to the mind/personality of the person who generated it.

Be that as it may…

I’m proud to have been consistently confrontational.

And yet they thought you sane enough to make you a mod over at FE apparently.

That’s uncomfortably close to a personal attack.

It is not. Mods are not generally supposed to be known for being confrontational.

Could have fooled me. You still stepped in it because a lot of FE staff and members post here as well. We have enough drama around here as it is without casting aspersions on a sister forum.

I’m not casting aspersions. Now, come on, you’re taking me way too seriously here. I mean no ill will against Frink. I don’t. And I don’t have anything against FE, especially since I’ve visited their forums all of 3 times ever, and simply to contact a particular editor.

I was not being snide. I was picking on him somewhat.

so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Okay.

I kind of doubt this.

Okay.

There’s also multiple instances (first shown, I think, in ROTS when Yoda is chopping up clones outside the Temple) of a character throwing a lightsaber, the blade impaling a victim, and the saber staying in place just like a sword or other physical object would, rather than falling to the ground and partially bisecting the victim.

When watching TFA, during the scene on the bridge, I had the thought about how a normal saber would have just cleanly impaled someone, but Ren’s saber was continually sparking random bits of plasma up inside Han’s torso, burning the rest of his insides as it was held there.

TV’s Frink said:

Look if you really care (which I doubt)

I don’t really care. I’m just talking.

I understand people have different hats that they wear. I was just insinuating that FE must be a rather silly place indeed.

I don’t know. I understand there is racial prejudice and inequality, but at the same time one would think a person on parole ought to learn to keep their head down.

Like, the culture black Americans have developed among themselves is also not faultless. There’s more to it than simply that the justice system is unfair to them due to their race. It is unfair, but it’s not the only factor.
