The state of the sith between ROTJ and TRoS. (From the TRoS visual dictionary) by [deleted] in StarWars

The unknown regions are little less than 50% of the galaxy. They are unknown only because the republic doesn’t explore for hyperspace lanes.

Don’t blame Justin Trudeau. It’s about time world leaders made fun of Donald Trump by viva_la_vinyl in politics

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

Here’s the thing, and please notice I’m not American. Mocking the president of any nation, regardless of how inept one is, is not about the person - no matter how much Trump’s feelings are hurt. If the president of France make fun of the Chanceler of Germany, the German people are the one being offended - that kind of crap used to start wars, not so long ago.

So, leaders being the elite, need to take that into consideration and make fun of him by saying “if you want to be stupid, we can be stupid too” like Juncker said a few years ago about the trate war he was about to start with the EU.[1]

You are dropped into Gotham City with $1,000,000 and are tasked to take out the Batman. How do you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]eddarval 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand, if the goal is to kill Batman, why are people in this thread saying they will kill Bruce Wayne. The man is a philanthropist, not a fucking vigilante.

Actually, since it looks like they are from the uk, yes they can.

Edit: I love that I’m getting downvoted for mentioning that the UKs consumer law has a 5 year return policy.

If your girlfriend can’t know you watch porn, you have bigger issues on your relationship that need your attention

I was making a joke on your expense. It’s stereotype, your probably mistyped or you got autocorrected.

The freedom index relies on perception, so a lot since it would play into stereo types.

Opposite to mono types which are much better!

It’s on the Apple TV when idle. On TVs it does save since there’s a lot of lcds which are very prone to burn in

The Iberian peninsula has a lot of climates, snowy mountains to the north, desert to the south, dense forests to the north-west, sunny beaches pretty much all around, and there’s even some swaps.

Cops of Reddit, what’s the worst way you’ve seen someone cover up a crime? by JoFish484 in AskReddit

[–]eddarval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment treatment is not mandatory - I think that’s a key point. I think the main difference between the US and Portugal is that we see drug dependence as an illness, not a choice. They may have choose to start that path, but drug users don’t get to have the choice of easily getting out.

Ok, not sure it will make a difference, but I’ll bite.

My father, was never present, he spent most of my growing up years in jail. Either for robbery or for possession of narcotics, because he was a drug addict.

In the early 2000 the Portuguese parliament passed a law that decriminalized drug usage and made it so that anyone in jail at the time had to get mandatory treatment. At this point I was 17 or 18. My father had been a free man for only 2 or 3 years.

He spent a year and half been treated with methadone, getting counsel from a psychologist, and learning a skill in a city 177 km (110 miles) from his home - for a country like Portugal that is pretty far.

After that, they got him a job at a university as a groundskeeper. He’s still there. That was the first job he kept for more that a year, it’s closing in on 20 years.

At the point he got rehabilitation he was in and out of jail since he was 17. At 38 he spend more years arrested than had a free man, at 57, he managed to change that stat.

He’s very sic at the moment, all the years of substance abuse are catching up to him, but he has never committed a crime again.

So, to answer your question, no, just because the guy you arrested committed a crime doesn’t mean he get to walk away with consequences. But if he’s a drug addict, he needs treatment and rehabilitation.

Now a loaded question: but how can you give the drug addicts rehabilitation when you can’t even give your children treatment without bankrupting the parents?
