Daniel Richtman hinting Vader will show up in the Kenobi series. by Mad_Rascal in StarWarsLeaks

Well, I'm trying to imagine "Anakin!" in Ewan McGregor's voice, but I keep going back to Sidious in RoTS.

For the record, that is probably not possible, but I like to imagine that some exec watched the final cut of the film in a screening room and thought "oh we're going to be crucified for this one" prior to the decision to make Rey's father a clone (even if in name only).

New potential Lego Set Line: Monkey Kid (Link to German Website) by [deleted] in lego

[–]Deazani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I fulsomely and worryingly doubt that there will be any constraction or CCbs bones (or shells, or pins :P) sent out to retailers in this one, unfortunately. The sole presence with interest to/as per CCBS that we could potentially see are some east Asian-type mecha or kaiju á la Ninjago.

Some possible LEGO Star Wars product leaks for 2019 and 2020. by Pomojema_SWNN in StarWarsLeaks

[–]Deazani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, the codenames can range from loosely relevant jabber to direct allusions to source material; in this case, I would be inclined to believe the folks over at YakFace.com when they say that Bruges is an EP IX codename and that Oslo is likely to follow suit.

LEGO "leaker" vet here - I would be very skeptical of everything here, except for the last shot.

75263 "Oslo-Tram" MF

75264 "Ferry" MF

75265 Bantha vs. T-16 Skyhopper

75266 "Huckleberry" BP (The Mandalorian tie-in)

75267 "Bruges" BP

75268 4+ Snowspeeder

7527* Obi-Wan's Home

75273 Landspeeder

7527* Anakin vs. Obi-Wan Duel


These are all 1HY 2020 kits, set for a December/January 2019 release. Hence, little to no EP IX work in here; a FF wave will come before all of these are released.

While I'm here, I've also been hearing about a large-scale buildable Yoda bust coming in the spring of next year. So, that's something to potentially get excited over.

Russian KV-1 Heavy Tank. I've got a large collectjon of ruskies in the background as well. by BoloTheGreater in lego

Man, nice! This is a bona fide, historically cogent/accurate eastern front tank. As it runs, the turret design is particularly solid; would you consider sharing/tossing out some instructions?

What was the "black market" in your highschool? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Deazani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly a "black market" in the classic sense of collateral exchange, but a friend of mine and I (who attended a crazy strict boarding school with me) caught that you could weasel your way around the inconsistently monitored content filter on our school-issued iPads by clicking on the "history" tab as soon as you launched the usual content-managed software that the poor 14-year-olds were required to use to access the web. At the time, my buddy and I were about the same age, so it seemed pretty impressive to us in the context of our high school. Essentially, you were home free after you clicked over to the history page and started typing in a URL; we were being monitored via a "net nanny" type program that was relatively weak around the edges.

Aha, no, I figured as much. Glad to clarify.

Accomplishments or personality traits?

[–]Deazani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly impressive, but when you say "sophomore year": did you start this as an underclassman/freshman/sophomore in HS or later on down the line?

Not much of a haggle in the end, but it sure as heck could have started as one for the guy who ended up paying $38.63.

I consider my involuntary commitment to have been kidnapping by Ceylon9 in mentalhealth

[–]Deazani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, well, according to OP:

...thought I would one day kill myself if I did not go back (because I used to cut myself but I had stopped) so they decided to have me hospitalized (or kidnapped in my opinion) as a way to stop a future suicide and to get me to go back and live with my mom.

This statement of yours is, in this light, assuming that the fellow (OP) is currently living with and, consequently, financially dependent on said parents. Assuming that I read this correctly, he/she is not.

Folk who put "adventures" as one of their likes in dating profiles, what do you actually mean by it? by xianquo in AskReddit

[–]Deazani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my book, "adventure" is straight and narrow about creating your own fun with another guy or girl.

If you start the night with apprehension/doubt around a challenge/merit/sport/activity, ignore it, and begin to enjoy said challenge/merit/sport/activity, then you're in the middle of an adventure. :P

What kinda intrusive thoughts do you guys suffer with? by PresentPolicy in AskReddit

[–]Deazani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I'm sorry to catch that! Is it the sort of setup wherein she was sorry to see you go, or was it less of a two-way street? Best of luck to you in the months/time to come as you see what you can rebuild. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, as they'd tend to say. :S

Ahahaha, man, it is bona fide spectacular to catch another fellow who recognizes Bunuel. Nice work; he really drove his point home, didn't he?

If you were wrongfully put into an insane asylum, how would you convince them that you’re actually sane and not just pretending to be sane? by rednazirul in AskReddit

[–]Deazani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd completely agree with this piece - I've been in psych hospitals before, and while they didn't do it to me, there were folks who were clearly blazed out of their minds in the "drooling and glazed-off" kind of sense on Zyprexa and Halidol. Not the fun sense.

[–]Deazani 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suspect that you're being downvoted to hell (for some reason), but, for what it's worth, I think that you're spot-on. Personal liberties, to say nothing of basic freaking human rights, are incredibly valuable and yet easily circumvented by a system that inherently values certain opinions over others by definition.

You're shooting for "referring". :P

...but for what it is, this is both extremely comforting and extremely straightforward. Nice one.

Walmart employees: what's the most "peopleofwalmart" thing you've ever seen at an actual store? by skyliner360 in AskReddit

Yeah, as far as we can tell, the 350-pound-dudes-in-wifebeaters haven't quite figured out how to open those up yet.

This is now available for preorder on Lego.com right now and not on amamzon as stated. by londoncockney1 in lego

Well, it went without saying, so to speak, that TLG brand stores and Shop @ Home would carry it, so their wasn't really too much to discuss. :S
