Am I a hipster?

I might be. I listen to all my music at home on vinyl. But it’s because I legitimately like it and have since I was a little kid before I even knew it was cool. And on my system with hide cabinet speakers they legitimately sound superior and I’ve verified this through a/b testing of the same songs. Whether it’s because vinyl is actually better or if vinyl releases are just mastered better is irrelevant because the vinyls I have sounds better than the cds I have.

Vinyl? Yeah. you’re​ a hipster

WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME?

This seems like a very self-centered viewpoint. There are actual, real people out there who have actual, non-imagined problems. There are people trapped in the limbo between being unable to afford college and being unable to get a job without a degree. There are people who don’t have access to clean water. There are people who live in warzones where both sides are just as despicable as each other. Feeling sorry for yourself to this degree over problems that don’t exist just isn’t healthy.

Also there are people who lost loved ones in the Manchester bombing. Or to cancer. Or in a car accident. There are parents raising kids with severe disabilities. There are people who don’t feel safe walking down the street because they’re black. Or brown. Or female. Or trans. There are people who are living on the street. People wondering how to put the next meal on their table. And on and on and on.

“Why did this have to happen to me,” as stated in this thread, is pretty insulting to people with real problems.

Trump has made those people’s live much, much worse when he decided to run for president, was actually elected (via broken electoral system), and set horrible policies into actions. That’s why I’m so upset about everything. These are the people I fear will be dead by the time he leaves office. When I said “why did this happen to me,” I meant why did I have to live in such a shitty time in history, where everyone who is not white, male, or straight is suffering unprecedented terror. And there will be no future where we can recover from this, because climate change will erase everything we have accomplished in the last 12,000 years.

Then do something about it. Make phone calls to your representatives or something. Donate time to a phone bank to help a better person get elected. Donate money to a better candidate. Go to a town hall and tell your representative what’s what.
But stop bitching and do something productive.

But I’m a senator!

Just kidding I’m not.
Or am I?

Who knows there might be some senators who waste time on these boards, and maybe they will read this thread and have their opinions changed.

I think Spicer himself said more insensitive things about holocaust victims in two press conferences than I ever could make on this forum.

But you certainly are trying to make it a competition!

How will anyone feel in ten years when I’m proven absolutely right and half of the country living today is murdered in future concentration camps nobody in 2017 though could possibly exist?

Or the billions that will be killed by climate change that Trump’s inaction triggered because he exited the Paris agreement? We only have MONTHS to stop the worst effects of climate change, and the worst possible actions are taking place right now.

TODO: edit post in 2027 to point out how wrong this is. (may need to reinvent electricity, computers, the internet, and humans in order to do so)

Glover’s awesome, but I feel he is too goofy for the role of Lando, which should be excruciatingly suave.

I’ve only ever seen him in one thing. He over-acted a character that was already unrealistic. Sometimes you work with all you are given. Even if he nailed the character as-written, over the top is still all he’d end up with on screen.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Like Ehrenreich, he has some very big shoes to fill. No need to naysay him a year in advance.

I think that with some solid direction, he should be fine. He has a lot of raw talent IMHO

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

shaggy said:

Are there dates for when each of the versions were released? I burned all three despecialized films onto DVD a few years ago, but I have no idea which versions I had or if there have been any updates to them or not. I’d like to update them if newer, better versions are available, but I can’t easily find any of the version release dates. TIA!

Check the end end credits (The despecialised credits tacked on to the end). it should include a roman numeral version number, which is nearly always accurate (one release it was not updated for, i forget which).

JEDIT: This one was banned on May 3.

He made the next one May 6.

Oh hai!

I don’t get it. Why doesn’t he just use his original account instead of making socks over and over again?

because it’s not him.
