Seriously though, the entire movie felt like one big apology for The Last Jedi, and somewhat ironically considering how much I disliked that film, that was a pretty big turn off for me.

If an obese person claims theyre perfectly healthy even though their doctor says otherwise and tells them to change their lifestyle is their opinion equally as valid as the doctors?

When it comes to health, there are things that are subjective and things that are objective. It's okay to disagree on things that are subjective. But, if you are objectively wrong about something, like obesity being "healthy," it needs to be called out.

For what it's worth, I do think the new RAZR is really neat, although the idea of watching movies on a screen that wide is a turn-off for me

The thing for me is that even the best Galaxy phones cost half as much as the Note does right now and aside from the Fold gimmick, they're superior in features and functions in almost every way


The Fold is literally the exact same hardware as the Note 10+ except for the larger screen and no S Pen. The RAZR is the one with mid-range specs.

As long as anyone buying this is aware of this fact, I think they're free to spend their money on it without running into too much scrutiny.

Unfortunately, many people who are interested in this phone are only so because they DO think it's a tablet killer, rather than a $2000 experiment


I disagree, I think the fact that it's an experiment is precisely why people want it

Joel Osteen is just the latest in megachurches/ televangelist scam artists preaching the un-biblical "prosperity doctrine." And business is booming since he's a multimillionaire.

I'm in the minority here, but I think they should pull another Black/White and use an entirely new roster.

One thing I really like about a truncated Pokedex is it forces you to experiment. I'm legitimately surprised how often I rely on Perrserker, a pokemon with a terrible BST but perfect stat distribution, pure Steel typing and a good ability in Tough Claws.
