I’m curious, did you consume other non-movie Star Wars media before, like books and animates series? I have a theory that the most dislike for the new trilogy comes from them basically “rewriting history” so to speak - cancelling all the characters and events already established in the universe.
I mean I don’t think they are amazingly good movies even in isolation, but I can see someone liking them for the fun factor at least.
Yes, the way media writes about it is a huge part of their success. Even the media that nominally opposes them. It’s either “oh just another political option”, or “inhuman monsters of the far-right”. Either approach legitimizes them.
Just make sure you mix it with water in the right proportion, no amount of lead will improve the wine if you drink it undiluted like a barbarian
They reward increasing the number of people who are formally married, rather than the number of stable couples.
Such a wonderful example of misaligned incentives, only a politician could come up with it.
The opposite actually - rows are dramatically added to a database. In most games save files grow the longer you play.
lol I can’t even begin. I regularly use 4 languages, even defining what a pronoun is barely possible. Native speakers argue about the correct usage for some of those

Well good then, you understand that’s how you function.
A small secret - the “traditional” heterosexuality is a performance people put on, consciously or subconsciously. The real spectrum is a lot broader than it might superficially seem.
Fun fact Denmark doesn’t have birthright citizenship. Trump could score a win in that regard by giving it to Denmark.
Back when I was a kid my school had a large plastic topo map of Yugoslavia. Well by then technically the country didn’t exist any more but it took a couple of years for teaching materials to catch up.
Nah doesn’t help. Try moving to another country and radically changing your life for a temporary relief.
Unless you’re in the fashion business you’ll always feel like you’re behind on trends.
One idea for a regular person would be to buy whatever mainstream stores are selling at the moment and try to combine it in unique ways. You will sometimes get bad results sure, but there will be less pressure to follow trends if you start coming up with your own styles.
All programming languages claim to be for humans. Doesn’t make them good at it.
If I’m not mistaken he already started a fight against windmills. Paper straws must be an ally of that great enemy.
I don’t really disagree, it works with tobacco, so there’s merit to the approach. I’m also hesitant to put the emphasis on overt pressure, nobody likes paying more taxes and it’s easy to undo.
Patience. Do you really want to read everything neatly digested and miss the pleasure of arguing in comments 🙂
My main argument is that being able to buy a car without too much hassle will make it less likely to actually do so, as long as public transportation can cover most of your needs. Just knowing that you can will give you enough peace of mind not to actually do it. Because you can.
Note: I’m making a point about car ownership, not making it convenient to drive in a city. Driving the car should be discouraged through urbanist policy and design.
Being able to own a car ≠ owning a car.
This is my main argument here. The relative unaffordability of a car makes it more desirable and more likely to be bought once a person is financially capable of doing it. See every Eastern European country where car ownership was extremely low until the exact moment an average person could afford one.

Está todo muy claro. En España es el ordenador, en America es la computadora. Si viajas y traes tu ordenador, tu ordenador transiciona i se convierte en una trans-computadora
