Karen is not real, she can't ask for your manager.
Karen:

Remember how good Joker was? Well, technically I don't, cause I never watched it. When it came out, my first thought was: "WB makes shitty movies. I'm not watching this, because even if it's good, I'll just end up becoming invested in a franchise/series that will become shit".
So what happened? Joker 2 was universally considered shit.
So who was it that avoided all of it, that didn't get invested in this thing at all, and didn't get disappointed when WB did what it was bound to do?
Me. I was right.

As the guys at EFAP would say: why are we subjecting children to crap? Children, probably most of all, should be exposed to well written story telling, because it helps their brain develop. Not Disney slop.

@coolboymew @cowanon
I was a fan. But just like you, I received the message loud and clear back around Wonder Woman and Black Panther. "These things are not for you". So I stopped watching a lot of things. Star Wars being among them. These days I hear Andor is good, but I refuse to watch it too. It's not like their message actually changed. And even if it did, the Disney continuity is already poisoned. Not worth getting invested.

As a side note, this is your periodic reminder that there's more bad Star Wars cannon content than good Star Wars cannon content. As such, I say that this makes Star Wars an objectively bad franchise.

@cell Powerful things come in small packages.

@LukeAlmighty Disney: now give us money you bigot!!!

@LukeAlmighty
Disney: deal, but with a caveat... Starkiller is now an obese black woman... who's also non-binary or something.

✋ for the white part.
White supremacists are just a bunch of white niggers as far as I'm concerned.

reel me in*
Jesus fuck... your typo made me think I was having an aneurysm. Technically not a hard mistake to make, but it messed with my brain so hard that it's hilarious.

@volandevsrat
Fuck it.. I'd give it a try. Can't be worse than what Disney has actually been putting out.

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty
Sounds like a you (as in your country in particular) problem. I've learned Chemistry and Physics since age 11 till 16. Biology since age 10. And I stopped at 16 because I was specializing in economics. In most high-schools, you learn these until graduation. Astronomy was folded into Geography for me, which itself probably started at 9 or 10 years, along with History (for these 2 I can't remember for sure when we started).

I can't compare the grammar part apples to apples, cause I speak a different native language. I've had grammar lessons from the start of school till before high school. I could be wrong, but I do not remember any more grammar being done for my native language in high school.
But with English grammar (as a secondary language) I did have things being repeated and redone periodically, even at an university level. I'd wager that fields of study that touch on literature, journalism, might refresh some of the harder grammar for my native language at university too, but I wouldn't know for sure.

You're not distrustful of the experts. You're upset at politicians that toyed around with the school curriculum. Those aren't experts. They're just pretending that their jobs are important by constantly messing around with the curriculum, to make it seem like they're doing something.

It's not that you're wrong for being upset. Far from it. But you're misdirecting your feelings. Experts, of any field (apart from experts in corruption), have little to do with this.

Don't know where this lady is from, but:
1) this is why we've invented something called "marriage". But maybe her feminist classes didn't teach her about it. In any case, if she got a thing called a "husband", they could both contribute money to paying that $2000 rent. Quite an outstanding invention really.
2) she literally just discovered real life and hard work. Am I supposed to feel sorry for her because she's tired at the end of the day, and her weekend is taken up by other stuff she needs to do? Yes, that's life. Most people deal with that. Often without crying on TikTok.

I wonder how many people got Pokemon triggered from that.

Hey guys, did you know that....

The "far-right" candidate, Simion Georgescu lost, with 46,40 % (5.339.053 votes), while the "progressive" candidate, Nicușor Dan won, with 53,60 % (6.168.642 votes).

Simion basically had his votes (3.863.040) from the first round, and Ponta's (1.230.226), as I expected.

Nicușor Dan had his first round votes (1.982.093), the votes of the next pro-EU candidate Crin Antonescu (1.893.312) and another >2 million votes that seemingly came out of nowhere.

In total, in the first round, 9.571.740 people voted. In the second round, 11.641.866 people voted. 2 million extra votes.

Personally I don't trust these results. But this will never be properly investigated. Much more obvious fraud was never dealt with, this won't be verified either.

@djsumdog
>So will human beings ever be able to verify life elsewhere?
Only if we find something on Mars or moons of Jupiter/Saturn. Will we actually? Very small chances, but at the same time, it's the best bet. Recently it was discovered that Mars might actually still have a liquid ocean of sorts, but deep deep underground, on the order of tens of miles. Deeper than we've been able to dig on Earth. So there could be something, but how do we verify it? I expect that the more we keep looking, we'll discover more biomolecules, aminoacids, simple proteins, we'll discover every major building block of life on Mars, Europa, Enceladus, but we won't come face to face with animal life, and if there's bacterial life on these bodies, it could be many decades before we'll find it and even more to be sure it wasn't a false detection because of contamination.
For Europa and Enceladus we might know something by the end of our lifetimes, as there are ideas on how you could melt through the ice and reach the ocean. For Mars though... we might never know for sure, cause I don't see humanity committing to dig down far enough.

Star Trek-like interstellar travel is not gonna happen. I personally think something like that is impossible. For traditional rocket power, you'd need a generational ark to go outside the solar system, and the range will be limited. The odds of finding anything in our immediate vicinity is basically null. We've used telescopes to study our immediate vicinity, and can't even find atmospheres that are clearly life altered (like having a high quantity of oxygen).

If I assume human life will go on indefinitely, I do think at some point we'll find a radio signal that we won't be able to explain, that will look artificial, that will look as if it could be carrying information. But I don't think we'll be able to decode it, and it won't have a societal impact as large as people would like to think such a discovery will have. But something like this could literally be millions of years into the future, and remember, any signal we might hear, would be from a civilization that might have even gone extinct by the time it reached us. If I limit myself within our lifetimes... I don't think so.

>Is life so rare that the planets who have developed it may never find us?
Yes. But more importantly, I think advanced intelligent life is what is incredibly rare. If there are even a handful of civilizations within our galaxy that are at about our level of development, I'd consider that a miracle. And I wouldn't be surprised if we are the only thinking beings in our galaxy right now.
Life could very well be inevitable if you get a planet with the right conditions. But I see no obvious reason why life would have a preference for evolving high intelligence. I consider humanity a fluke. A cosmic mistake of sorts. An anomaly. An interesting one, but no matter how much statistics someone throws at me (but there are so many stars, and so many planets, and even if only 1% bla bla bla) it's not convincing me that it is a repeatable anomaly. I need a valid argument for why in a different ecosystem a high intelligence would be something evolution eventually selects for. If intelligence was important for evolution, I'd expect the Silurian hypothesis to have some evidence behind it.

@kroner No fucking way... I'd love to see the media and DNC squirm their way out of the fact that they were trying to convince people to elect a dead man walking.
I bet this isn't even news. I bet this is "aggressive" because they actually discovered it a year ago, but couldn't start any treatment without rousing suspicion. So now they "detected" a tumor that had been left to develop for too long.

@KaiserKitty
Use whatever works for you and your needs. I've been saying something half-jokingly for awhile: there's someone out there for whom literally MS-DOS is the best OS because of their unique needs.

@BasedLunatic
Suddenly, that LotR meme came into my mind... "We had one puberty, yes. What about 2nd puberty?"
