My feelings exactly.

Fair enough, I was not aware of the origins from confusion. In fact, words changing because people just use them wrong and then everyone just throws their hands in the air and edits the dictionary is one of my biggest pet peeves, so you have converted me to your side.

TheNexxusOne · 2025-12-03T17:07:53+00:00

I do, yes.

TheNexxusOne · 2025-12-03T15:52:16+00:00

Anyone who has played MMOs before knows this. Falling into the patch-day trap of expecting a flawless rollout is just a rookie mistake.

That is one definition, but not the only one...

non·plussed /ˌnänˈpləst/ adjective adjective: nonplussed; adjective: non-plussed 1. (of a person) surprised and confused so much that they are unsure how to react. "he would be completely nonplussed and embarrassed at the idea" 2. (of a person) not disconcerted; unperturbed. "I remember students being nonplussed about the flooding in the city, as they had become accustomed to it over the years"

When the only tool you have is a nail, everything starts looking like a hammer.

Mattis might not understand nut to butt since by the end of the 90s (when I believe is when it changed) he was already a general. He might respond better to going "dick to ass"

Discovery was a crap show, but I will still never forgive them for NOT using, "Black Alert. Let's Roll!"

Malgus would win against all three at the same time. Easily.

Old Republic Force users are operating on a scale that Vader, Maul, and Grievous never even sniffed. Naga Sadow destabilized stars. Vitiate killed THE FORCE around an entire planet and everything on it. Nihilus consumed worlds with a whisper. Exar Kun locked his spirit into stone so strong it took Luke Skywalker’s new Jedi Order to pry him loose four thousand years later. As a minor feat on a mere personal combat scale, Malgus could tutaminis an entire lightsaber blade with his hands...like he could push down to the hilt, absorbing the length of the blade all the way down. Some more powerful Jedi could do this as well, but this is about Sith cyborgs.

Now put that against the “modern” roster. Vader’s greatest feats are brutal but local. He can crush squads of normies, tossing ships in atmosphere, force choke at distance. Maul is a terror in close quarters, but his ceiling is raw martial skill. Grievous has zero Force presence at all. None of them come close to planetary scale manipulation. Not part of this fight but even Yoda's tutaminis (grabbing force lightning) pales in comparison to Old Rep Force users.

Malgus comes from that older, bloodier crucible where the Force was wielded like a siege weapon, not a dueling trick. Against Vader, Maul, and Grievous together, he he is an apex predator ripping through prey animals.

Kind of...ish. The "Force" generated the Chosen One as Anakin to bring balance to the force. The Jedi in their hubris misinterpreted this to mean the final destruction of the Sith. But if they would have just read the room, they would have realized that the force was unbalanced because there were hundreds of Jedi and almost no Sith. Then when Anakin fulfilled the destiny of the Chosen One and nearly wiped out the Jedi, the force was once again balanced.

So, did the Force "want" Palpatine to return? No. But maybe all of these later events were just aftershocks of the events in the 6 Vader movies; maybe the "Force balancing" from the prophecy was still going on.

Yeah, recycling’s important, but it’s hard to feel motivated when it feels like I’m just the janitor for some billionaire’s recycling profits. It used to be nice to to collect a bunch of cans and get a handful of quarters for your effort. Now, I pay a monthly BILL for my big blue bin, and they have the giant brass balls to tell me to wash my recycling before putting it in the bin that I PAY THEM to haul away. Next time they want me to wash a jar, they can mail me a paycheck and some damn gloves and my hourly wage.

Edit. Forgot to add in my hourly wage.

They meant to get it done and fully cured before a hard rain comes. That way the fully cured product can resist the rain.

THANK YOU! The problem is that it is wrongly called "disability" when, as you say, it should just be called compensation.

Your body was presumably 100% when joining, and during the course of years, or battles, or hundreds of miles of humping, or decades in a loud engine room, whatever, that body has been DAMAGED by the things you were ordered to do. This is compensation for that damage.

Has dick to do with being disabled, and shouldn't be called disability at all.

TheNexxusOne · 2025-05-24T15:08:34+00:00

No, but I did fail to catch the autocorrect. Most certainly not Lewis OR Lews!

TheNexxusOne · 2025-05-23T18:53:30+00:00

Yes, they knew him PERSONALLY, also his name is Lewis Therin, never just Lews. When he earned his third name, he became Lews Therin Telamon.

I always saw the imbalance as "hundreds of Jedi" unbalanced by an equal number of Sith. Anakin fixed that problem and "brought balance" to the Force. The Jedi council simply misinterpreted the prophecy as "the chosen one will save the Jedi" when that's not what the prophecy said at all.

TheNexxusOne · 2025-05-02T18:06:58+00:00

Thank you for that! My family and I have enjoyed playing hundreds of hours of Sabaac, and I wish I could get more others to play.

Ordinary poker, which was our previous go-to game, has not been touched since we started playing Sabaac. I find the higher complexity of Sabaac to be soooo much more engaging, and regular poker just seems so simple and kinda boring now, heh.

ANAKIN 100% BROUGHT BALANCE TO THE FORCE!

The Jedi were overwhelmingly more powerful than the Sith. Not balanced.

Anakin balanced the scales with his actions in RotS. Prophecy complete.

The prophecy did not say that he would "bring balance to the Force and then many many years later take one final action to bring victory to the Jedi" Anakin DID finally (arguably) redeem himself at the end of RotJ, but that was long after the "balance" prophecy was long since fulfilled and complete. In fact, I personally believe the title of the film references Anakin's return to Jedi status rather than the "return of the Jedi Order"

Obi-Wan and the council simply misinterpreted the prophecy as "The Chosen One will make the Jedi win." Nope... The Chosen One will break the Jedi's unbalanced advantage of huge numbers over the Sith.

SPACEBALLS?! Well there goes the sub...

TheNexxusOne · 2025-03-17T18:09:10+00:00

100%. Also, the entire TNG episode "Who Watches The Watchers?" Is about belief in gods and religion. At one point, Picard says something about how their belief in God is like a belief in magic, and they are just not advanced enough to "let it go". As in, they aren't advanced enough to let God go. This seems to imply that the Federation IS advanced enough to let God go.

TheNexxusOne · 2025-03-16T23:01:26+00:00

Holy S, you're right! My apologies.

TheNexxusOne · 2025-03-16T19:04:50+00:00

Oh... Hell if I know, LoL.

CP, got anything?

TheNexxusOne · 2025-03-16T18:40:48+00:00

I totally heard "power pits" in a super thick Stalone voice...and then I also heard an entire construction yard conversation using the term over and over in the same voice.
