CobblerScholar,

Thought it was weird to release brand new games straight to gamepass to begin with

CobblerScholar,

Knot so auto erotic asphyxiation

CobblerScholar,

Rook at A8 starts to wear a bucket hat, gets into camping at music festivals and gets really into drugs. He becomes…the wook rook

CobblerScholar,

Sounds like a damn Sabaton song

CobblerScholar,

If she’s arguing in good faith she’s been told that you’re going to hell to suffer forever for being who you are and she doesn’t want you to suffer forever. More likely she’s jealous of your happiness

Weed will get you to sleep faster but just like alcohol you’re not getting restful sleep

CobblerScholar,

Oh and did “they” steal your sweet roll too?

CobblerScholar,

That what happens when you cram 2 inches of lifts in a pair of cowboy boots then stand for hours. Dude is going to be crippled after the race is over I swear

CobblerScholar,

Yes, constantly. It’s perfectly harmless if thats what your trying to get at

CobblerScholar,

Then just die of fright you absolutely cowards, if you think that defending hospitals, schools and civilian apartment buildings is a threat to Russia then just die. If you think a free and honest press is a threat to your government then just die because no sane person will look at your actions and let you continue unabated

CobblerScholar,

They may be too fascinated to strip for you though

CobblerScholar,

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake

CobblerScholar,

Well rain chance is a compound probability it’s the probability that it will or will not rain multiplied by the percent of land hit with rain. Like if 50% of an area will be hit and there’s an 80% chance it will rain the number the weather Channel will give you is 40%

CobblerScholar,

You’d figure as a person who as a girl was made fun of for her potato sack dresses and ended up pregnant at 14 would have a little more perspective

What is the phantom menace about and what is the understood nature of the prophecy of one who brings balance to the force?

I’m listening to blank check, and while they mention that 1) there’s a prophecy about bringing balance to the force which dovetails neatly into the answer of their main question 2) what is the phantom menace about?...

CobblerScholar,

The “phantom menace” is literal, its literally referring to the Sith. After the new Sith Wars in about 2000-1000BBY under the Sith lord Darth Bane the order was reduced to two members by Banes own hand. The order was then hidden from the Jedi who thought they had defeated their enemy forever. After a thousand years of the mantle changing hands we end up at Palpatine who is considered the peak strength of the Sith order but is totally undetected as the mysterious Sith lord even though he regularly spoke with and was around the highest of the Jedi masters

CobblerScholar,

I think you’re trying to read a bit too much into the phrase “phantom menace” its really just a poetic description of a hidden enemy referring to the Sith.

As for what the Jedi thought happened, its described in the Darth Bane trilogy of books in detail. In brief after Darth Bane destroyed the entire Sith order in one move he made it seem as if the last survivor was killed by a group of Jedi while he and his apprentice disappeared. The Jedi had no evidence the Sith survived but rumors persisted over the years that’s how Yoda and Mace Windu knew of the Sith Rule of Two established by Bane.

And yes Anakin did bring balance to the force but not just because he brought down the Jedi Order. He was also redeemed by his son and destroyed Sidious and therefore the Sith order. Both groups had drifted so far away from what their power came from that neither could remain intact if the force’s will was followed

CobblerScholar,

If you haven’t you have to read Darth Plagueis, by far the best star wars book I’ve read so far

CobblerScholar,

Already do, it devalues the property even more when you don’t really have control over what it’s called

CobblerScholar,

I’m glad they gave Owen and Beru a little time to be brave badasses even though outmatched

CobblerScholar,

I only check in on my cities subreddit for local news otherwise I’ve totally dropped it. I miss the community and the depth of content on what reddit used to be but Lemmy is growing fast and has kept many of the same internet jokes so I’m content

CobblerScholar,

I was under the impression that Mars’ core was already cooled throughout

CobblerScholar,

Completely nonsensical and screws everyone involved.

Student loans are supposed to be an investment the government takes in its population. If it works properly then the money that the government spent on the students tuition is both paid back monetarily by the student as well as societally because now you have an educated citizen providing ever increasing tax revenue. If you make student loans illegal you not only make it impossible for students to educate themselves beyond public school you destroy the entire post secondary school industry now that so few can afford to educate themselves.

What needs to happen is cutting out all the middleman bullshit and just making post secondary education free with your taxes, at least a couple years worth. If someone wants to be a doctor or a lawyer or someone who needs to have more than a couple years worth then sure that can be on their dime. Otherwise those first 4 years are just unnecessarily saddling people with mountains of debt that there is no guarantee they can pay back after they are done

CobblerScholar,

Diablo 3 caught my attention again recently with the new and probably last season. Pretty mindless most of the time but it’s therapeutic in a way

Will the world ever stop being anti-intellectual?

One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural...

CobblerScholar,

It’s not so simple I think. Anti-intellectualism is a symptom of the greater human condition. Part of it is the scapegoat aspect. If something has a name then it’s easy to point a finger at it, easy to blame the person who named it. Part of it is envy, people trying to tear down those who they feel are superior to them. Part of it is propaganda, if not caused by certainly exacerbated by.

Like many things in life it’s complicated.

If Mace actually hit the floor then we may have a new record (startrek.website)

I have been posting Trek memes constantly for the past month from a vault of about 2000 that I have saved. I just realized I have a vault of about 1000 Star Wars memes that I’ve never even considered posting. Should probably fix that. I’ve just gotta go back through the community more to make sure i’m not gonna repost some...

CobblerScholar,

For Obi-Wan it’s stated in a few places that Tatooine aged beings prematurely (headcannon being because it has two suns) so he makes sense. As for Yoda perhaps it was partially intentional to disguise himself and partially because of the dark side force nexus that he lived beside was a trial to fight and it aged him

CobblerScholar,

Garnish wages, keep your tax return, take social security benefits and destroy your credit rating. They pardon the super rich for basically stealing our tax dollars and yet they will also destroy the financial lives of their citizens who have to make the decision of having the gas to get to work the next morning or having more than sleep for dinner. I’m of half a mind that if they are going to steal my money then they will have to pay to take more of it

CobblerScholar,

Slash have his cult threaten their lives. He’s already gotten away with it a couple times without anything happening so why not again?

CobblerScholar,

Did you bring it to me or otherwise preform extra effort for me ik the ordering process? No? Then fuck off you’ve already earned your pay

CobblerScholar,

Capitalize the profits and socialize the losses

CobblerScholar,

Not enough to make much of a determination, great casting though

CobblerScholar,

Nope, you done did shit the bed already you can’t charge admission to the toilet bed now

What video games are these book titles referencing? I can’t figure out the last three for the life of me (i.imgur.com)

I was watching Josh and Anthony play this obscure game called Alaska. There is a bookshelf in the game that has several books, and each of the books’ titles are parodies of other popular video games:...

CobblerScholar,

Interstellar? It’s a movie but it’s the closest I can think of to that name

CobblerScholar,

Sending the biggest e-hug! 😊

CobblerScholar,

He joined the Imperial academy then the Navy, then kicked out of the Navy and sent to the Mimbam where he was the PFI in trenches
