It was fine. I’ve seen all the shows so I get the backstory and references.

That being said, there are just too many Star Wars and movie cliches to be bearable:

Oh wow she cut her hair dramatically, she’s such a rebel and such a badass. (Cheap and overused character moment)

Staring pathetically at a spaceship flying away after a lightsaber duel (has happened four thousand times in Star Wars)

“Get ready!”

Lightsabers are harmless

Fixing a bomb under a ticking time clock (false peril)

Ancient artifact leads to the location of a place or character in the present (another cliche and cheap writing)

Another star map mcguffin (overused cliche)

Funny because “American” isn’t even a language.

Then it should be even easier to unionize

Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.

(I love him)

I would fuck both cars

And remember that despite some unique large scale issues we have today, there were much, MUCH worse times to be alive. “Majority of Americans live a peaceful life and die at 70-80” is not reportable news but still largely true.

Things are far from perfect, there are major issues, but I’d choose to live today than almost the entirety of human existence previously.

There were definitely way more violent times in the US: there were pandemics, there were revolts, there were wars. We live in an amazing time but it takes a bit of grand perspective to realize that all the bad news is easy to see in a matter of minutes. You can have death and destruction delivered right into your home in a matter of milliseconds. It’s much much harder to see all the wonderful things happening in the world

The super rich are usually highly educated but they live in such a homogenous bubble that they’re opinions on the majority of society should be entirely discounted. They usually have a total lack of empathy for people and vote for politicians with the same attitude. I have met some super rich people who try very hard to go against the grain and not fall into that mindset, but something about the need for protecting your money and lifestyle usually promotes an untrustworthy and skeptical view of everyone in their lives including their own family.

It’s rich kids living off of daddy’s money i.e. trust fund babies (trust funds are their own separate thing but you can look that up). It’s not like these people were working as a food server then one day decided to travel the world and make videos about it. They needed a nice financial cushion in order to do that. There are exceptions, but it takes a lot of capital to start your own brand, promote it, pay for the traveling expenses, and somehow get a return.

I’m fine with them, except for this one

Yeah, great, build housing. Minimize commuting, minimize pollution, maximize autonomy, maximize bathrobe sales.

The app worked, you got to know her true colors rather quickly. Imagine putting up with passive aggressive shit like that your whole life, or even for a night.

That’s a fucking cute as hell illustration. I’d wear that
