I edited it for those who haven’t seen the RedLetterMedia review of the prequels.

For what it’s worth, even some of Gene’s ideas were a bit…much. Luckily most of what we got for the Star Trek franchise, at least the main parts, were pretty great with some great writing. There’s just some stumbles here and there throughout every once in a while.

Rick McCallum: “It’s so dense.”

Shut up Rick Berman, you ruined Star Wars just like you ruined Star Trek…wait, you’re not Rick Berman. What is it with Ricks?

They wasted a movie. The first one should have jumped in during Anakin and Obi-wan’s friendship in the clone wars. Have some flashbacks to a childhood and how he got to be Jedi, but the brotherhood be the focus. Even have the love interest be then, maybe being Anakin’s first test of who he loves more. The second can be tons of character buildup and struggle, the third the fall.

Someone years ago on YT did a speculation of this, and the center of the clone wars (or at least where those two were) is Alderaan. The biggest flaw in rewatching and now more accepting of the prequels is that his fall feels very rushed and forced. Give more development time to explore the whys, and the viewer will both sympathize and hate Anakin’s decisions more.

Checkmate.

Snowpiercer, except there’s no real plot or change. You are in the car you’re in, period.

I think it’s even worse. They didn’t tell us what was and wasn’t recyclable. They used symbols very similar to the recycling logo to stamp on various types of plastics to classify them. Most of the types used are one time use, they never were meant to imply recycling, that’s just the symbol appearance.

Recycling started off as the third R and last resort, the first two were Reduce and Reuse. Those were not compatible with an economy based on consumerism and growth, so Recycling became the focus, creating an industry to pick through the few things that could be recycled and trashing the rest, and encouraging the public to buy more because it’s not a problem as long as you participate.

And if you don’t participate, all the problems are your fault. Not the companies making the stuff, they’re just doing what you want.

Try to search around for things in the past mentioning both Kbin and extensions, as well as the Monkey script addons (VM ended up being the stable one, but other versions were used). Hopefully you can find archived discussion about it all somewhere.

There’s nothing for Lemmy that I know of, but in the beginning of the first migration from Reddit there was such a thing being worked on by various people for Kbin. Kbin unfortunately is broken for a while now due to the developer’s health issues, but there was a fork made called Mbin. And the good news is that the extensions for Kbin seem to work for the most part with Mbin via ViolentMonkey. I can’t recall if I had to do much of anything to tweak it. I don’t know if there’s been any work since then, only that it still works for me now.

I looked back to find something to recommend to research, but short of using VM and searching for scripts to use with a Mbin site (like fedia.io) I’m not sure.

That bladder has muscles around it that tighten once the sphincter muscles at the base of your bladder relax to let urine through the urethra. So you can and do apply more pressure than just gravity. Just not nearly as much as OP’s idea needs.

Four more years of proving that it’s far easier to break things than it is to build or repair things.

or there’s something else going on that we I don’t understand," Trump said.

He was so close to realization.

Twice.

You would have been fun back in the day on Usenet. People are people, whatever platform is used. It’s funny how you can claim decentralized isn’t a thing the very same time the 196 craziness is going on. If that isn’t a good example of it, I don’t know what is.

The opposite of woke is asleep. How the word woke became a bad thing is beyond me. Take it back.

Good for those who did their job and reported it. I’d much rather have a late or even canceled flight than the risk of anything happening because of someone even slightly impaired.

Give some credit. Even if they aren’t politically aligned with your, they did make Lemmy open source for others to run with.
