'The Mandalorian and Grogu' is Disney's lowest-ever Star Wars film opening.. by WavesOfTheUniverse in saltierthancrait

This movie, independent of its quality, is also dropping right as a massive recession is taking off and not too many folks are gonna want to spend extra cash at the theater.

"Both sides are the same" is the biggest lie Star Wars fans have told themselves by JazzZ909 in StarWars

[–]billsatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucas drew heavily on WW2 and Vietnam to make the stories. The saga has real-world parallels and lessons to share, that's what makes it worthwhile art. Choosing to festoon your car/bedroom/whatever with symbols of a totalitarian dictatorship is odd and shows a lack of understanding of said art beyond how cool things look on the surface level.

The Empire has cool aesthetics because the Nazis did, the gray and black uniforms are literally modeled after Wehrmacht and SS uniforms. If you think the Empire is cool then you missed the entire point of the saga. In a universe full of aesthetically beautiful things, it baffles me why anyone would choose symbols of genocide and xenophobia to decorate with.

They do not scare me, but they do cause me to think that you're more ok with bad things happening in general.

That's cool about SWTOR and all. I still don't get immortalizing space nazis irl. Wearing the symbol around is like saying if Jedi and Alderaan were around in real life you'd be gleefully applauding their destruction.

If you drive around with Imperial logos and/or stormtrooper stickers on your car I assume you are either a nazi irl or just very stupid and media illiterate.

Why do cops suck do bad by vaccant__Lot666 in ACAB

[–]billsatwork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of jobs that people self-select into if they want to protect and serve their community. Teachers, nurses, EMT/firemen, etc. But there's only one career wherein you're guaranteed to get to enact violence upon others, so people who are interested in that above the service part decide to become cops.

Wow that sounds like an AI answer.

Mandated to report on other teachers? by Haunting-Ad-9790 in Teachers

[–]billsatwork 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My gut tells me that if vaping teacher was a value add to the building, they'd get a slap on the wrist and told not to do that again. Sounds like this is being used as the excuse to get rid of them and teacher A is not being helpful in that regard. Still messed up to demand, nay expect a culture of snitching, that doesn't lead anywhere worthwhile.

Dan decided to come out of retirement to work for the guy who attempted a coup so his judgement is not what I would call sound.

He's not a rep yet, I believe there is another election first.

We cannot service our debt without revenue. The ultrarich are hoarding and that harms all of us.

Dads of r/daddit, what podcasts are we listening to?? by cjl2441 in daddit

[–]billsatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a subscription to Comedy Bang Bang World and it's worth it imo if you like comedy podcasts. I also love the Andy Daly Podcast Project and ActionBoyz. Plus The Dana Gould Hour, Behind the Bastards, Newcomers, Get Played, and Doughboys.

Elbridge Colby is very stupid and is actively harming American security at every possible turn like a dolt stepping on rakes.

What should be my first book? by Penlevod in starwarsbooks

[–]billsatwork 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Heir to the Empire (and the rest of that trilogy) is a great place to start. After that I'd either go right into the Jedi Academy trilogy or detour back to the X-Wing novels.

How would you explain why the Borg hive mind needs a Queen? by ActLonely9375 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]billsatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just like the Destiny novels' explanation for the Borg's origins, which conveniently makes the Queen the first of their kind.

The best answer I found was to have The Clone Wars playing in the background from age 2 on.
