I remember in the 4th grade, I was the first person in my school to get into Pokemon. Thanks, Nintendo Power! Used to share the comics with my friends and we'd pretend to catch Pokemon at recess.

"I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and gets everywhere." The infamous like from Attack of the Clones. People make fun of it relentlessly. But they shouldn't. The true genius of this scene is lost on casual audiences and memers.

You see, Anakin grew up on Tatooine, a planet with a lot of sand. But he's not talking about sand.

Tatooine is the place where he lived as a slave, where Qui Gon died, where he left his mother behind. To him, Tatooine is a place of sadness and regret. When he says he hates sand, he's really agonizing over the weight of his past. He follows this up by saying Natalie Portman is the opposite of sand, by being soft. Natalie is the woman he loves and wants to spend his future with.

Anakin wants to leave the sand behind and be with the soft Natalie, because that would make him happy. But at the same time, he's haunted by the sand of his past.

And it's that duality, that contrast, that perfectly encapsulates Hayden Christenson's landmark performance. Anakin is striving to be a good and happy person but can't. "It get's everywhere." Anakin can't shake out the sand. He can't let go of his pain.

It is that pain that ultimately undoes him, and ties the theme of the Prequels together. That we can not let pain decide who we are, lest we become twisted and hateful, and ultimately hurt the ones we love most. That warning against pain and bitterness is even more relevant today than it was in 2002.

I hope from now on you'll watch the Star Wars Prequels with more of an open mind, and realize how smart they really are.

Does this mean that if a new user wanted to get a wallet they would have to download a 180 GB file?

Or am I misunderstanding how the block chain works?

Nah. All you need for a wallet are a public and private key. The block chain is a massive record of every transaction ever.

Its a dick move, but ias long as you arent staying very long they probably wont hate you for it.

When i worked in a restaurant it happened all the time. As long as i could leave by an hour after close I would be miffed, but not really upset.

Circumcised.

People say circumcision makes you lose pleasure. But my climaxes already knock me right the fuck out. Pretty sure if I felt any more pleasure I would have a heart attack and die.

A man is turned into a petite, weak, girl and starts getting bossed around by all her female former friends, who domineer her while teaching her how to be a submissive woman.

What is this called.

Apparently she was mad at her mom for comparing me to her ex, so she said Im make almost 50K year and I'm successful.

None of this is remotely true. Im an amateur programmer working part-time at a convenience store who doesnt even graduatw until this May.

I've seen enough sit-coms to know where this is headed. Wat do.
