Didn’t he have a panel in his X-Wing that displayed communication from R2?

Yarhar and all that

Just seed everyday

Yar har etc…

I have one at home but I don’t stand at it much, just for a few minutes here and there. But it’s still useful that it moves. Its good to have it at the exact right height and raising it makes moving cables easier. I plugged in a new USB dock on my static desk at work the other day. It was a pain in the arse, the hole of which I almost exposed to the whole office when I got up off the floor.

Now the kilt was only for day-to-day wear. In battle, we donned a full-length ballgown covered in sequins. The idea was to blind your opponent with luxury.

If you mean should you be embarrassed about being set up on a date by your parent then no, as others have pointed out in these comments it’s been happening since the dawn of time. I’m 38 and I’d love to be set up on a date by my parents or frankly anyone. But I think I’d find not being consulted about it a bit annoying.

Or Conan O’Brien. Listening to the commentary for the early seasons I was amazed at how many iconic moments they said were his idea, especially given how bland the jokes on his talk show were.

As with most things in life the Simpsons, or in this case a show related to the Simpsons, has already done it.

Yea human lifespan hasn’t really changed over time but as you say infant mortality, pandemics, war and a complete lack of industrial safety for over a century have skewed the average over the years.

The emotional rollercoaster this movie takes you on is amazing.

The death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is just a sight you see.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

He used to smoke dried animal shit through an old car exhaust pipe too.

Most “non tech-savvy” people I’ve tried to explain the concept of open source software and initiatives like the Fediverse to just outright don’t trust them. Whilst they might say they’d prefer for software and services to not track or manipulate them if you asked them directly, they can’t truly conceive of tech that doesn’t.

The only interactions these people have had with the digital world have been as part of the modern data scraping hellscape that was once termed “Web 2.0” after the internet went mainstream in the '00s. They weren’t part of the internet when it was a niche interest and more open, so they know no better and accept that predatory behaviour as the way of things.

I’m not an expert in psychology but I don’t think it’s overly dramatic to say it puts me in mind of those poor individuals who were abused as children, never received therapy and go on to seek out other abusers in adulthood.

Go on…

That was amazing and highly informative!
