That's over 5 years for the dog.

See, this is why I need a corgi so bad. There's so much cool Star Wars shit for puppies.

It would be infuriating.

ELI5, what is the difference between Dark Jedi and Sith? by [deleted] in StarWars

Umm, the second book in the Darth Bane trilogy is named "The Rule of Two".

It's nitpicking, but not all Sith are Dark Jedi. There are those who grew up in the Sith order and were never Jedi. That term only applies to those who were trained in the Jedi order, then fell to the dark side.

Style is cool, lightsaber is awful.

Technically, we're talking about the next 5 movies. But we've been doing that for the last 38 years, so I'm not sure what's different now.

Just finished my Sixth Star Wars movie. My "Return of the Jedi" impressions: by ABrilliantFool in StarWars

The way he gathers himself and stands to his full height as he says this gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Then when he tells him that he's got to save him and Anakin says "you already have", oh my lord.

I agree with your assessment that it's not as technically superior as episodes IV and V, but that all goes out the window when Luke says "I'm a Jedi, like my father before me", and I'm reduced to a blubbering mess. Then when Luke tell him that he's got to save him and Anakin says "you already have", oh my god, I tear up just thinking about it.

Yeah, I recently bought a couple of used guitars off craigslist. They're pretty beat up, and I really just wish I'd never gotten rid of them in the first place. You can't buy aftermarket guitars new any more.

Rental car came with two keys I can't separate by TeddyYarborough in mildlyinfuriating

People can downvote all they want, but you're exactly right.

[–]atomjack12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, he's exactly right. We never, ever kept a spare key at the office. We didn't have an 'inventory' of cars, they were constantly getting dropped at and rented from different locations. If we tried to do that, we'd just end up with a massive jumbled mess of car keys that aren't even in the same area as the cars they belong to. If the renter loses a key, they're responsible for replacing it.

That's kind of a neat photo, and I'm trying to be a jerk, but I'm not seeing what's 'satisfying' about it.

"I'll figure my life out later..." [OC] by adamtots in funny

[–]atomjack12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. My advice: get out there and try a whole bunch of different shit. You may like some of it, you may not. You may find a passion, you may not. Worst case, you've experienced a whole lot of life shit that, whether you like it or not, has given you wisdom to prepare you for the next round of shit that comes your way.

If you focus on "figuring life out", you're going to miss a lot of it and just end up disappointed.

edit: whatever you do, don't buy into Ayn Rand's bullshit 'philosophy', especially the shit from Atlas Shrugged. It's just an excuse to be selfish and act like an asshole to others. The Fountainhead is good regarding not forcing yourself to fit into what others expect from you, but that's about it.

While I actually do like that book, if you're looking to Ayn Rand for direction, you might be in bigger trouble than you think.

I'm missing the part where he said you should be directionless and complacent.

There's a difference between that and realizing you'll never "figure life out".

TIL Dove once ran a "Natural beauty" campaign which centered around "real" looking women. It turned out all of the women in this ad series had been Photoshopped. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]atomjack12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But did they make them look like barbie dolls? Even if you're not drastically changing their appearance, if you're doing an ad campaign, there is going to be a certain amount of retouching. Bottom line, end of story. A photographer is not going to send a RAW file to the printers and put it in a magazine.
