It was fine. I’ve seen all the shows so I get the backstory and references.

That being said, there are just too many Star Wars and movie cliches to be bearable:

Oh wow she cut her hair dramatically, she’s such a rebel and such a badass. (Cheap and overused character moment)

Staring pathetically at a spaceship flying away after a lightsaber duel (has happened four thousand times in Star Wars)

“Get ready!”

Lightsabers are harmless

Fixing a bomb under a ticking time clock (false peril)

Ancient artifact leads to the location of a place or character in the present (another cliche and cheap writing)

Another star map mcguffin (overused cliche)

Movie looked like total garbage based on the trailers.

Yeah lol that article pic has some meme potential

On first viewing it was awesome, then the reality set it after awhile

Ugh that scene TFA derailed it in microseconds. So much stupid hand waving by JJ. That movie started on such a high note, then every minute following the opening act was like watching a bouncy house slowly deflate.

I have perfect pitch meaning I can hear a note and be able to tell you witch note it is and at which octave

There’s got to be a more scholarly name for that trend which has existed long before the invention of the word “enshitification”. What is it?

Instant buy, been waiting to revisit this game. Surprised it even runs in Switch

LA sucks ass

Except for all the stupid MLP shit, I agree

Oof, going way back here. The first time I fell in love? It was insane. I was 16 and so was she. It was crazy stupid love. So much passion, but it was ugly too. My favorite part was losing my virginity to someone I cared for deeply and visa versa, second favorite part was finally getting over her years after the breakup. It was an awful one, embarrassing and cringe inducing in a lot of ways, but it also made me a better person. Wouldnt give all that happiness and pain up in a million years, and this is 25 years later.

Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.

(I love him)

It’s the hand writing style of Therm Scissorpunch!!

Man I have great memories sitting at my dad’s Packard Bell in the mid nineties watch the data stream in from other worlds

In some ways yes but it can have the opposite effect too. I know lots of left leaning people who grew up in super religious/conservative families and hate everything about their beliefs.

The super rich are usually highly educated but they live in such a homogenous bubble that they’re opinions on the majority of society should be entirely discounted. They usually have a total lack of empathy for people and vote for politicians with the same attitude. I have met some super rich people who try very hard to go against the grain and not fall into that mindset, but something about the need for protecting your money and lifestyle usually promotes an untrustworthy and skeptical view of everyone in their lives including their own family.

Hmmm

This is the kind of headline that editors love to come up with:

“From Bateman to Batman: Christian Bale’s Amazing Journey from childhood star to emotional powerhouse.”

It’s rich kids living off of daddy’s money i.e. trust fund babies (trust funds are their own separate thing but you can look that up). It’s not like these people were working as a food server then one day decided to travel the world and make videos about it. They needed a nice financial cushion in order to do that. There are exceptions, but it takes a lot of capital to start your own brand, promote it, pay for the traveling expenses, and somehow get a return.
