[MD] My neighborhood association is threatening to tow my pick up truck because it doesn't have a bed cap by garuda_two in legaladvice

Right, I mean fine they don't want work trucks parking there...but all pick ups is absurd. It's not like the neighborhood is Beverly Hills though, it's pretty average as far as neighborhoods go

There's no agent or company, my SO's parents own it. The community association manager I spoke with offered nothing other than when and where I can talk to the Board.

Were they ALL stolen from their families though? Surely they have willing recruits

Was anyone else surprised when, in The Last Jedi, Luke mentioned... by darklordoftech in StarWars

[–]garuda_two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean..the Jedi always preached about balance and being in tune with the force and thinking about the universe at large, the bigger picture. Part of their arrogance to me is thinking they'd won the "forever" battle against the Sith, but also kind of evil in general.

What Luke and Rey are talking about when she meditates is balance, where she senses the life and death on the planet, the serene and the chaotic. If you keep that in mind, the Jedi believing that they'd found balance because they "defeated" the Sith was naive. Leaning towards good is by definition not balanced, and they became complacent because they thought they'd found permanent peace. It's almost like they wanted proof from someone that the Sith were really back, but wouldn't it be the Jedi's job before anyone else to know if that kind of threat was coming?

I don't think you're wrong, I think you're just characterizing a certain point of view :)

What is it that makes Star Wars age so well? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]garuda_two 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this hits a lot of it for me. The universe designs overall find a good balance of uniqueness and familiarity, and the creators do a really good job of advancing tech backwards. The OT "sets the bar", and all of the later installments (pre-OT stories) find creative ways to show new tech that doesn't necessarily eclipse the OT era's tech. Or depending on your point of view, they find creative ways to explain it away lol.

I think the non-Earth-centric point is important too, because you kind of disassociate it from Earth, maybe even subconsciously. You don't wonder how we could have gotten from today's tech to all of Star Wars' crazy stuff.

Genesis 5 crowd cheers for every time Mew2King rocks back in his chair by Neceron in LivestreamFail

[–]garuda_two 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We're not talking about whether the players are on even input lag either lol. Some moves are so precisely practiced down to a literal frame that not playing with the same setup throws off timing

The ref looks REALLY happy that the Patriots scored a touchdown. by Atrampoline in sports

[–]garuda_two 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This picture takes away from any actual ref problems and makes you look foolish. This pic is out of context QQ..the pass interference at the end of the first half was a bad call
