But even the prequels are speaking directly to Lucas's feelings about Bush-era politics and the erosion of democracy, where the originals straight up talked about Nam and WWII. Idk, I guess I could understand the Andor hate if I hadn't had a lot of years of people trying to make Star Wars be about the space swords. No cohesive plot, no commentary, no thought provocation, just one cool moment with a space sword leading to the next cool moment with a laser gun. Andor was like "hold my beer." So refreshing.

Two of those images are definitely tomato-flavored sugar. I'll understand people not enjoying raw tomato, but at least make homemade sauces and soups from canned tomatoes as much as you can. Then you can enjoy your fries with tomato-flavored sugar free of guilt.
Oh, yeah, we technically understand that most Christians say the deal is "Keep doing terrible things, just say you're sorry." Jeffrey Dahmer: heaven. His victims: at least some in hell. Not a bad deal for terrible people. Or maybe just, you can masturbate whenever you want as long as you feel really guilty about it afterwards. That definitely sounds as enjoyable as our experience.
Everyone has innate value by merely existing, so technically Mouse declared a deep personal wellspring of value. Could've been worse.
Considering the policies of No Labels are just libertarian finance with even more billionaire backing, we really have to consider the likelihood that the idiots who might fall for it really are gonna be the "centrists" Dems have been courting for decades.
It seems that you and your responders have all forgotten what the electoral college is.
I remember when I bought into "voting third party throws away your vote." Hey kids, take it from someone who grew up in a blue state. I get that thinking strategically fucking sucks, and you want to go with the herd, but it is not worth keeping the establishment party established just so you can be part of the 80% of people who say, "The actually good candidate wasn't electable." With any luck, solid states that show growing support for third parties will start applying the pressure that any incumbent party needs. Because the Supreme Court sucks not just because of Trump, but also because of Obama's milquetoast policies before that, and another Justice's refusal to retire when she knew the level of risk.
(Using your format limited my response, but the most important thing I've been learning lately is that voting is the token the government gives us so that our politics start and stop with the ballot. You can say "Why not vote and be politically active?" and I'd agree. But I'm concerned about how most people just forget to do anything after they vote.)
I keep thinking about that, and I keep coming back to how the ones being lied to will double down on "but the ____ actually are very powerful! That's why they've taken so much for themselves! That's why they have so many protections!"
I've had a conversation like that.
The specific story has been known for years. Perhaps the new details this author offered are in the genetic lineage, which is still interesting. But it doesn't take much study to understand the origins of the cat-human symbiosis: cats are cute, they only eat meat, and the relationship appeared around the beginning of agriculture.
So many people going "opposite sex does X in relationships" and me just being like "you could stop dating people who do X" and they always look at me like I've sprouted horns. Like seriously, people who do X in relationships don't need to be enabled to continue uncriticized
