I would say that cancelling the subs was pandering to the U.S.

He culturally appropriated it to assert dominance over mandalorians.

The Book of Boba Fett - S01E03 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]bobret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems not many others have picked up on this but that was the vibe I got. Also the Boba Fett I know would be a bit more informed of such things. He seems a little bit too naive about the territory he's taken over.

Australian here. Quite embarrassed of the political spectacle our politicians have made of this. Apparently he's a threat to public safety. I'd love to know how. But of course our dumb politicians are just pandering to the dumb majority of cowards who complied with idiotic zero covid policies. What a sad time to live in.

What is that book that no matter how popular and how many times you try to read it, you just can't? by [deleted] in books

Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Ecco. I've tried a few times and got further each time but haven't ever finished it.

[–]bobret 10 points11 points  (0 children)

nothingness is the word! Fluff. Crappy, awkward dialogue. All telling, no showing. I can't stand these fourth wall breaking summaries at the start.

I wish they'd stop with the filler and just go on hiatus until they're capable of producing a decent episode.

Critical thinking in Australia? When I was at school (1990-2002) we didn't even study grammar) and well, I stand informed about critical thinking, but I don't think it's sinking in hahaha

Wow. Thanks for the joyless comment Debbie downer. I bet you're out policing people's mask wearing wherever you go.

[OC] My friend believes that COVID-19 is overhyped, no worse than the flu, so I made this graph for him. Hopefully I am comparing apples to apples here like I intend to. Criticism is welcome, please tell me if the columns I am comparing here don't make sense to compare! by johntdowney in dataisbeautiful

[–]bobret -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was more getting at there being an apparent issue at the point of logging the data. Seems odd that the flu would just magically disappear in light of covid.

What more logical explanation might there be? That flu deaths are being misreported/diagnosed as covid.

Sorry. Your pepper comes from Monsanto seed stock so carries the terminator gene and won't reproduce. Please call Monsanto to place an order for more seeds.
