The Pope was in the right to stop her by tapping her on the hand in that instance. The man is in his 80s and likely has degenerative arthritis, she jerked him pretty hard and could have hurt him.

She probably meant no harm and was a little overenthusiastic but you still have to respect a person's personal space.

It's probably because I'm selfish but mainly because I don't want the responsibility.

My gf and I are almost mid 30's and people are always giving us shit for not wanting kids. We usually just lol but some people seem strangely affected by a decision that doesn't effect them.

"You don't know the joy! Y-you don't know the joy!" It's always folks that have kids that try to pressure people without kids to start making babies.

Meanwhile y'all are going where you want and doing whatever you want to do lol.

But seriously though kids are expensive, and right now that's kind of overriding my biological urge to procreate. I'm in the process of trying to build wealth and assets. I want to make sure that I have my kid in a good spot to succeed.

Also I'm 34, if I have children first off I want to be married.

The prequels told a far more coherent story compared to the sequels and thats saying something. The only bad things about the prequels were that George Lucas wrote the script himself instead of using someone who actually understood how humans speak to one another, and Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portmans performances. Like hire real script writers to work with Georges story and two actors who actually cared a fraction of what Ewan McGregor cared, and youd have the best SW trilogy by far.

The sequels have better acting but really suffer from identity crisis.

This is true. The sequel trilogy had no direction, no plan or vision and the movies suffered as a result in a disjointed mess.

The 10 speed automatic they put in Ford Mustangs is more efficient than any of those plebs are going to be with their manual transmissions.

I mean dual and single clutch transmissions are more efficient than actually taking your hand off the steering wheel to change gears, unless you have superhuman reflexes then that's a fact. But you also don't have the engagement in autos that you do with manuals, it takes away from the fun of it and makes the experience feel more robotic. Drove an R35 GTR and while it's a marvel of engineering I could feel myself getting bored with it after a while. That's why I'm glad Porsche decided to keep the manual option for the GT lineup of their 911 and Cayman.

Unfortunately for this argument, the science doesn't always agree with you.

A study of dog bite related fatalities from 2000-2009 did not find breed to be a major factor:

https://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.243.12.1726

"Pit bull" isn't even a breed, so when you talk about them being a dangerous breed, are you referring to an American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, a Staffordshire bull terrier? If you wanna talk scientific accuracy, you need to be specific.

On top of that, "pit bulls" as we know them are bred specifically against biting humans, as that's not considered a good trait when be used as a fighting dog. This does lead to a tendency toward aggression with other dogs though

https://pets.webmd.com/dogs/features/pit-bulls-safety

The only real Pit Bull is the American Pit Bull Terrier. If those pedigree papers don't have lineages of historic pit fighting dogs then it's not a Pit Bull. Most of these curs and man biters are bully breed mixes and mutts.

Most people can't ID a Pit Bull as is, and using the term "pit bull" as a catchall term to describe four different breeds with very different breed standards just adds to the confusion. All of them have been separate long enough to be different breeds.

Also I don't think Luke's character was destroyed but I don't think they earned the direction they took him. If they executed it with any sorta finesse people prob wouldn't be so quick to complain, but instead we get a 30 second flashback with no depth

All of this. They didn't fucking earn it in TLJ. People don't have a problem with Luke having a moment of weakness but it has to be built up, not some 30 second flashback. But hey I guess wasting a ton of time with Finn and Rose on the casino run was more important

Oh, wow. I missed that part. It says it right there in the quoted text.

Yeah, that had to have been a pretty painful message to deliver. Did the bank really think sending a black man to tell another black man he's not welcome was going to make the issue go away?

They didn't send him to tell him, the guy was giving him a heads up and Kennedy managed to record the conversation. The bank fired the guy who told him. Classic case of economic racism by the bank, but that's not surprising considering the history of JP Morgan Chase as a banking institution.

I see. He bet wears a klan robe because it's the only thing that'll cover up his big brass balls.

How the fuck do you even say something like that to somebody? Let alone a famous (and quite muscular) athlete?

Zimmerman literally stalked, confronted, and then killed an unarmed 17 year old kid because he "thought he looked suspicious", in his own words.

While maybe not murder, that is just some asshole with an axe to grind looking for a fight. When he got his fight, he shot the guy. It is not his job, in any way, to confront and then murder a kid. Did he have ANY evidence this kid was breaking in anywhere? Did the kid have anything suspicious on him?

Or was he just a black kid in a gated community and some asshole decided he looked suspicious, literally chased him down, and when the kid defended himself from this threat, got shot for it.

Fuck anyone who is going to defend these actions. If it was a cop who shot the kid on these flimsy grounds, these same assholes who are defending Zimmerman would call for that cop to be fired out of a cannon.


Nah, they'd find a way to defend that too.

It's a 10/10 Star Wars game, a 7/10 for the rest of it. The combat is a bit like Dark Souls/Sekiro but nowhere near as fluid as either one. The traversal is like Uncharted but can also be a bit janky when wall running and jumping, you'll fall...a lot.

It can be hard, not in a Souls hard way, but more of a cheap kinda fashion. If I die in Souls/Sekiro/Bloodborne then I can see how I fucked up and it doesn't feel cheap. In Fallen Order on a lot of my deaths I was like WTF.

It's not perfect but maybe if a sequel comes out they can iron out the kinks. It does things just good enough gameplay wise to not kneecap the whole experience. As a Star Wars game it's the best one I've played since KOTOR.
