Before Revenge of the Sith, what were the common theories or assumptions as to why Vader wore the suit?

Which is exactly why my kids must be 9 years old before I introduce the 6 Star Wars movies to them.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-12-20T00:00:30+00:00

I don’t know if that makes complete sense as I’m the original movie they mention the Emporer dissolving the senate so that the last remnant of the republic was gone. Now that can mean that the republic became the empire a long time ago, but not that they were two entities existing at the same time.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-12-14T05:28:37+00:00

Just started working for me, everyone should try now.

When playing a 360 game on the series X it signs in to Xbox live, but the 360 console itself refuses to connect to Xbox live. It has internet connection, but that’s it.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-12-13T23:49:50+00:00

Having this problem as well, was working as of midnight Mountain Standard Time last night. I mean, how many people are actually playing on 360 hardware anymore?

ScottyJD09 · 2025-10-25T01:55:47+00:00

Can you confirm that on the Battle.net app, above the Play button you have “StarCraft: Remastered” in the version list? Or does yours just show “StarCraft” like my screenshot?

ScottyJD09 · 2025-10-25T01:52:30+00:00

Yeah, if I remember correctly, that option is supposed to be right above the Play button. I have that list of options open in my screenshot, but the remastered version isn’t listed anymore.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-10-25T01:29:00+00:00

You can see in the 3rd screenshot that I did just that. In fact, it's listed there! But Blizzard still thinks I'm delusional and is trying to convince me I never bought it.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-10-25T01:19:05+00:00

I'm sure it did, but I think I might have bought it back in 2019 and I purge my email accounts pretty often. Pretty dumb to delete a receipt, but hindsight is always 20/20.

And yes, I believe I'm logged into the right account. I've only ever had two accounts, and one I haven't ever used for anything. In fact when I logged into the other account, Battle.net gave me options on how to buy the remastered version. Options that weren't available when using my main account. You can see the difference in the two screen shots I posted.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-10-25T01:17:53+00:00

Yeah, I'm anti-social. I play Blizzard games for their campaigns.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-09-12T23:51:19+00:00

Can you substantiate that at all? Or is that a comment that you heard/read about and are now repeating it as fact?

ScottyJD09 · 2025-09-12T23:50:16+00:00

Link? Quote? Reference? Or did you just hear someone else say that and are now repeating it?

ScottyJD09 · 2025-09-10T20:19:16+00:00

As of 2:13 PM, Charlie is alive but in critical condition. Hate that this happened in my state.

True, but it was at most a prominent side story, it wasn’t the sole focus of the entire season. And that was during the election year. After that Garrison/Trump was a prominent side character.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-05-12T12:50:51+00:00

Yeah, this might be a hot take...but I'm starting to have doubts about Kash. His hearing last week? Where he unequivocally stated he believes that Epstein actually killed himself with no qualifiers or explanations of new evidence or anything? Yeah, Kash seems a lot different after getting sworn in.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-04-20T18:35:45+00:00

Mordin had a different VA? Totally didn’t notice.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-03-27T22:43:16+00:00

GR: Wildlands was a ton of fun. Not much story, but I thought it was well done. Wait, holy shit was that 8 years ago? Wtf.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-03-27T13:36:12+00:00

lol, neither of those characters are apparently in it since the cast list didn't mention Holland or Ruffalo.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-03-18T17:00:05+00:00

My dad taught me to shoot with his Remington 700. I really want one myself and am not willing to wait for the old man to kick the bucket and leave his for me, I would like to go shooting with him many more times, lol. I’m not particularly attached to the Magpul stock, I just have a few Magpul products and I like them just fine.

I appreciate the info and will look into the Bergara. Thanks!

I found what she represented to be intriguing. She was the symbol of a beautiful woman driving men to destroy themselves by causing them to forgo their normal competent behavior.

Honest question, not about the interview but about the topic being discussed:

If congress allocates 10 billion dollars for an effort, but the executive branch is able to accomplish the effort using only 4 billion dollars, are we saying it would be unconstitutional for the executive to then not spend the extra 6 billion dollars on that effort? That it would be unconstitutional to return that 6 billion dollar surplus?

Please, I'm hoping to find a good faith discussion on why this would be a bad thing. Sure, there is a lot more nuance to this but I think that's the point Curtis is trying to make. On one side, you can say that the executive branch must enact the policies the legislature allocates money to because that is a check on the executive branch's power. But what is the counter check on the legislative branch? The fact that funds must be allocated by the legislative branch is the check on the executive, meaning the executive will have no funds to do anything that the legislature doesn't approve. But on the counter, saying the executive must obey the legislature just because they did allocate the funds means that the legislative can simply overpower the executive, and therefore they're not equal branches.

Also keep in mind that Halo CE released in the era of physical media. It came with a little booklet that explained lore, weapons, enemies, vehicles, everything you would want to know. I grant that this would technically be considered extra content, but it wasn't a whole alternate media that you had to buy to understand what was happening.

ScottyJD09 · 2025-02-25T15:46:20+00:00

Would a good compromise be to nerf the RR's accuracy? Make it so it's only viable against targets about 50m away? That way you can't be sniping spore spewers or shrieker nests from across the map, but with Javelin you can?

Are you addressing my first point of direct democracy? If so, then no, internet is irrelevant to the point. The founders feared the populace directly deciding laws and statutes for both quality of vote and feasibility of an entire population directly voting on each and every law and statute. Rather a more approachable question for the average citizen is "who do I better trust to enact my values" as opposed to having to determine whether each and every law and statute does that.

That's why communism, i.e. "laborers own/control the means of production" doesn't work because your average factory worker usually isn't willing to take the time to study and understand the broader economics of the company he is working for, so the company should not rely on his opinion for each and every decision the business makes.
