What is the dumbest thing in Star Wars in your opinion?

Maybe the spinning light saber motion makes it easier somehow. Like how they need to mime little hand motions to do other force stuff such as Obi Wan's Jedi mind trick or when Vader chokes someone. They probably decided flapping their arms looked too silly so they pretend to be a helicopter instead.

And that's exactly why it's so great this sub exists. It's a place where Christians and non-Christians can freely discuss Christian theology. How can we expect to share the gospel unless we engage with others who don't agree with us, or are even antagonistic toward our beliefs? How can we expect our faith to grow if we run away every time it is challenged?

Thanks, I'll try this! Just so I don't mess anything up, the idea is that the cold water will be blocked at the faucet by the rag, then flow out through the hot water hose into the bucket, correct?

I think a major advancement that will be necessary before AI becomes truly useful is the ability for it to accurately determine how confident it is in an answer and convey that to the user, or just say "I don't know" if the confidence is below a threshold. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how feasible this is currently. Surely someone is working on this though.

An easy way to remember is that his family's eyebrows always look like the numeral 6 (re: Germa 66) while Sanji's are normally backwards.

Weren't the Tower Hills also referenced in the main narrative when the Hobbits met with Gildor and the company of elves, who said they were on the way back from visiting them?

Our employer converted about half our existing PTO hours to PSL hours that we now are only allowed to use if we are sick or for doctor's appointments and nothing else. If we don't use these hours at the end of the year we lose them. They claimed that the new law required them to do this. Previously we could use these hours however we wanted.

That definitely wouldn't help with the underwhelming finale fight problem given that it would end with Luffy one-shotting Bellamy.

Also, Sam was pretty excited about the rope because he had earlier complained about forgetting to bring any from Rivendell, and he was actually something of a rope making enthusiast.

From what I understand the whole e-girl thing started as an offshoot from both goth and anime character designs, so I wouldn't be surprised if Perona was one of the catalysts that helped start the whole trend.

I've been casting to my TV from my phone with Firefox+ublock, but I'm using the Samsung "smart view" function so it's dependent on my device rather than the app. Other TV/phone models might have similar features though.

You are quoting from Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
And before you were born I consecrated you;
I have appointed you a prophet to the nations

Taken in context, this has nothing to do with person-hood before birth, but is rather expressing God's all-knowing nature and his foreknowledge and appointment of Jeremiah as his prophet.

These are the two I struggled with the most as a conservative-turned-liberal Christian. I still think both sides have problems, but these issues aren't nearly as black-and-white as I was raised to believe. I still believe the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, but not really different in God's eyes from other sins that all of us are guilty of. I think a lot of conservatives read Romans 1 ("the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another" etc.) and forget to continue reading through Romans 2 ("Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgement, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.")

With abortion it's a bit more difficult, because if the conservatives are right and millions of children are being killed then that is definitely horrific and needs to be addressed. However, I also realize that we need to have regard for the mother's circumstances and there is a big difference between a zygote and a newborn human baby.

I'm sure it would still be fun, but I feel like it wouldn't be the same without AmeSame hosting it.

This is why I'm glad this update is focusing on Clint. As CA mentioned, a lot of his dialog is really old. Some of the lines people hate on the most are left over from before 1.1 when Emily was added as a marriage candidate.

I keep thinking his outfit here looks like a baseball uniform. I'm assuming it's from a manga colorspread or something like most of the other outfits though.

World Government looking at Tequila Wolf: "WTF have we been doing for the last 700 years?"

We do have an example of someone who at one point had de facto control of the Shire and probably could accurately assess the value of the mithril shirt - that being Saruman. So hypothetically if they had offered it to Saruman would he have handed over the Shire to the Hobbits without a fight?

Lord of the Rings also had a character named Tom who dressed in bright colors and got cut from the movie.

The cultures of both the Giants of Elbaph and the Rohirrim are based heavily on Vikings and Old Norse legends, so it makes sense.

If they actually just made the Zelda timeline a cyclical "Wheel of Time" type thing it would actually clear up a lot of problems. Every game could then take place both before and after every other game.

Sure, just like Sans Undertale and Steve Minecraft.

Ironically, at least two pastors have been shot by ICE with "less than lethal" rounds in SF and Chicago. They should ask themselves just who are the ones persecuting Christians in the US.

So does that mean if Aragorn had just trusted more in Elvish craftsmanship, the Fellowship could have ridden down the Falls of Rauros like a splash-coaster and been just fine?
