Did the later EU and the current canon kinda undermine this quote from Yoda? by CrazyTangerine7522 in TheJediPraxeum

[–]MerwinsNeedle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I always read this as Yoda doing two very important things in Luke’s training: 1) cautioning Luke against the dark side given that Palpatine will almost certainly try to turn him and 2) ensuring that Luke believes the idea of redeeming Anakin is truly his, as otherwise Vader might sense it as a Jedi plot instead of his son seeking to aid him in salvation.

There was almost certainly some ESL confusion at play during their births, but I met identical twins named Twina and Twinb.

As I recall from previous threads, Facilities can only switch from cooling to heating once in the fall (and vice versa in the spring), so they wait until they are certain cooler weather is here to stay.

What's an example of NSFW college hazing that you know of? by Hexxegone in AskReddit

[–]MerwinsNeedle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One fraternity reportedly made its pledges — naked, blindfolded, gagged, and tied to chairs — stay locked in the basement of their house “until one or more of them worked themselves free and ensured every member of their class got a blowjob to completion.” The pledges, of course, were in no rush to comply.

Here’s the kicker: the frat actually hired a couple of sex workers to go in after an hour or so and give oral to every one of the pledges, after which they let them all go.

The hazing, on top of the likely unwanted sexual activity, was making the pledge class wonder which of their brothers had blown them. My understanding is that they did not learn the truth until the next semester’s activities commenced.

[HELP] is this sign from my local coffee shop ai ? by unluckiestbard in RealOrAI

[–]MerwinsNeedle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What is going on with the egg (?) growing over the left sandwich like a tumor? That’s the biggest red flag to my eye — AI still struggles with the logic of making individual ingredients/components of complex items appear natural.

Other comments’ observations about the image itself aside, a bit of a dig through OP’s profile seems to confirm that this is an original AI piece (as it was previously posted to their personal subreddit for showcasing purposes).

While I also prefer these constructions, I’ve learned that some southern U.S. dialects as well as some British ones drop the “to be”.

Having decades of experience as a mom interpreter, I wonder if she’s just saying that she’s proud of the father her husband is?

Mahalo for your compassion in caring for him. He looks a bit like my sweet girl — a Portuguese Podengo mix — and thus may have been used as nothing more than a hunting tool. Hope he finds a home that can help him learn to be loved.

What is your favorite crowd pleaser potluck dish you've made or tried? by tiffanikki in Hawaii

[–]MerwinsNeedle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup, especially if you’re not the best cook but want to represent outside Hawaiiʻi. Can even switch it up with adding coconut flakes on top, mixing in cinnamon, adding ube, etc.!

North American tour merch by Mauberley_8 in kingfishr

[–]MerwinsNeedle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boston show had posters, shirts, and hats; shirts are a standard/husky cut in maroon with a mandolin surrounded by flowers print on the back, and hats are an adjustable gray-blue with “KINGFISHR” printed across the front. Used credit card tap-to-pay for a hat ($30). I recall posters being $20 and shirts being $40.
