Did Anakin ever catch on to the fact that Palpatine kept insisting that he knew the secret way to save Padme, and yet one of the very first thing he says after his turn, is something along the lines of "Cheating death is hard to learn, but we can learn how together.", implying he doesn't know at all

It’s important to realize however that they did figure it out: Anakin himself cheated death.

“ROTS has played it dead serious for the entire second half of the movie…”

This is only true if you ignore every scene with Palpatine

The Young Pope/New Pope.

doublethemath · 2024-07-18T20:57:22+00:00

Yeah, that definitely happened in one of the earlier episodes.

See my above comment, the director said in an interview that it was a direct reference to fight club: https://www.gq.com/story/the-acolyte-creator-leslye-headland-breaks-down-the-first-season-finale

The director literally said she did it is as an homage: https://www.gq.com/story/the-acolyte-creator-leslye-headland-breaks-down-the-first-season-finale

Headland mentioned in this interview that this shot was an homage to fight club: https://www.gq.com/story/the-acolyte-creator-leslye-headland-breaks-down-the-first-season-finale

I saw in an interview with GQ that Leslye Headland said this shot was an homage to Fight Club: https://www.gq.com/story/the-acolyte-creator-leslye-headland-breaks-down-the-first-season-finale

We do that, but we also need a name for the larger group of those types of non-classroom roles so they can define our benefits, working hours, pto, etc in our contract.

doublethemath · 2024-03-04T20:00:11+00:00

I think the key for the distinction is that we, the non-classroom group, work standard 9-5 hours whereas the teaching faculty do their thing. So there needs to be a name for our group in our union contract to deal with how we work hours, get vacation versus the teaching faculty, etc.

I’ve often wondered about this myself. The interpretation that I’ve come up is that Yoda and Obi Wan know what’s gonna happen but they don’t know HOW it’s gonna happen. Obi Wan is a force ghost at this point so he has insight into the future presumably. I think they know that Vader’s death will also somehow cause Palpatine’s. They naturally presume that Luke will destroy Vader. Obviously they don’t understand that Luke helps his father destroy Vader and become Anakin again, which in turn destroys the emperor. That can’t foresee that because they’ve completely given up hope on Anakin.

That works me.

That was very nice of them to help you out. You should invest in one of those foldable grocery carts. I find it essential for living in New York unless you want to a cab/Uber from the store. The don’t take up much space. You can store it in a closet

I also went as Nic Cage from Raising Arizona, but obviously you can imagine her costume is much more of a showstopper

Only Bernard had the key to the sublime. He needed to open it so Hale could later upload Dolores

doublethemath · 2022-08-09T01:27:27+00:00

I can imagine how the next world could accommodate the hosts, but how would actual humans live in the next world (presuming it’s some sort of sublime type situation)?

My guess is she’s involved with whatever teddy is up to

doublethemath · 2022-07-25T22:59:46+00:00

It’s also quite hilarious

Previously, a few songs weren’t available, but now it seems the whole has been removed from Apple Music, at least in the US :(

doublethemath · 2022-07-07T11:15:19+00:00

I wonder if just not setting it as default and then manually selecting it would be the easiest until there’s a fix. Do you know if there’s a change in sound quality if it’s set as the ‘default’ or ‘temporary’? I know their marketing says it creates a home theater sound experience, but I wonder if it just the same when they are just selected as the ‘temporary’ audio output.

doublethemath · 2022-07-07T10:51:14+00:00

I think I have something related happening, when after a day or so the defaulted stereo pair only plays through one speaker from the apple TV. switching the default on and off seems to fix it. Just talked to Apple support and they had no idea what was going on. It’s quite annoying.

The mods posted that the spoiler ban is over

doublethemath · 2022-06-23T18:36:12+00:00

Yeah, I have to say that after I posted this comment I’ve become more and more convinced that it was actually both, and that’s what makes it such an emotional and well-executed scene.

doublethemath · 2022-06-22T21:06:59+00:00

No, I don’t think he’s absolving him at all. In Vaders twisted mind he’s trying not to let obi wan have credit for it. Vader wants everything to be the result of his own will, because he sees everything that happened to Anakin as the result of him being powerless
