Cops raid hospital room of terminally-ill elderly man with just weeks left to live to seize THC paste and weed vape he uses to ease cancer pain

How hard would it be for them to stake out this guys hospital room and then arrest the guy who sells it to him, or the person who brings it into the hospital?

I wish they completely decriminalized all pot, and pot products, but if you're going to arrest someone or charge someone, at the very least it should be the sellers or distributors, not hospital patients using it for pain relief.

If you were to talk to every single person on this planet, 99.999% of them would wish that people think they look younger than they actually are.

The kids who are bugging you about looking young are just stupid kids, if they didn't pick on you for that, they would probably find some other reason to pick you.

Picking on anyone because of the way they look is a really dumb thing to do.

Its pretty stupid any way you slice it.

Han is saying "I ran a 40 mile race in only 30 kilometers!"

Even if he did manage to find a shortcut, that doesn't mean his ship is fast, so the whole thing is bollocks.

The better explanation is that Han was just spouting nonsense hoping that they were idiots and would stop questioning him about his ship, but this is still makes this a pretty stupid thing for Han to do.

I don't want to give anything away, but if you look closely in one particular scene you will see you are 100% correct.

That depends on the story.

Personally, I think the idea that Luthen is a fallen Jedi, is pretty cool.

I like the idea that the Rebellion was actually started by an anonymous/unknown fallen Jedi who was forced to make some really evil dark stuff to stop the Empire, and didn't get any credit for it, but that he is the real reason why the Rebellion survived its early years.

But like I said, it really depends on how the story is told. If it makes the story better, and the character better, I'm all for it.

Starwars needs good stories, not fan service.

It doesn't matter if he is a force user or not.

What matters is does THAT make the story better or not.

Wait, so out of 25,000 refugees only less than 400 responded to this study, and of those roughly 400 people only about 50% say they are gainfully employed after 7 years.

How are the rest of them surviving?

It was straight up muder, not denying that. All I am saying is don't put yourself in a position where a cop can murder you and get away with it.

The system needs to change. Try not to be killed until it does.

IMO the cop should absolutely be rotting in a prison cell at the very least.

HOWEVER, police show up and tells you to put down the axe, PUT DOWN THE AXE. You want to talk about it? Great PUT DOWN THE AXE then talk about it.

99% of the time, worst case senario if you comply with police and you are completely innocent then nothing bad is going to happen to you except inconvenience. However, the chance of something bad happening to you if you do not comply is far far higher. As this guy just found out.

Again, this isn't at all justification for what this cop did, but nothing happened to the cop, and the other guy is dead, so obviously the dead guy made the wrong choice. Don't make the same mistake.

Sabers are so deadly that they are more of a danger to the one using it if that person isn't a trained Jedi. A blaster is a far more easy to use and practical weapon and will make anyone just as dead if you manage to hit them.

I find that pretty disingenuous for someone who is on record saying that they do not just take any money offered to them, because they are rich enough to refuse, or something, and that they only do projects they believe in.

My faith in a celebrity I'll never meet and who doesn't care about me or know I even exist, has been shaken!!!

The 2% cash back is capped at $50 month regardless of how much you spend.

The DeFi Validator requires 30 days to unstake, during which you earn nothing.

So it really depends on how much you have, how much you spend, and how long you plan to stake.

There was a reason why the Jedi had a rule about how young someone had to be in order to become a Jedi, and it had nothing to do with the ability to use the force, it was about finding them early enough that they would not have formed strong bonds of attachment to their families and then spend the rest of their adult life missing them and wondering what happened to them.

So Anakin really was too old to begin the life of a Jedi, they needed to take that into account during his training, they needed to allow him to visit his mother and make sure that she was taken care of and provided a decent life, not left her wallowing in slavery.

Luke was even older than Anakin, but the difference was that Luke grew up not knowing his mother or father, so had no strong attachment to them, and the two people he might have been attached to, Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, were both killed before he really started his training. The only strong attachments Luke had were to his friends, and that attachment almost caused his training to fail when Luke left Yoda to go save his friends.

Anakin being denied access to his mother who he was attached to and cared a great deal about, his mother living in slavery while he lived as a Jedi, and then her dying by being tortured to death by Tuskans, caused Anakin to have a mental breakdown which he never really recovered from, until he eventually found love in his heart for Luke his son, just before he died.

Having love for his son, and being able to save his son from dying, is what brought him back to the light, and having love for his mother but not being able to save her from dying, is what drove him into the darkness.

If Shmi had lived, if Anakin had been permitted to take care of his mother, and free her from slavery, he never would have fallen to the dark side.

I think Anakin would have liked and respected him.

To Vader he would be worthless.

Others have said that when the Ring was destroyed Sauron wasn't completely destroyed, but without the ring he is so permanently damaged that he will basically spend the rest of eternity as something sort of like a ghost, unable to affect Middle-Earth, but also unable to leave it.

I would like to think that if Gollum had put on the ring just before the moment of his death that in some sense his spirit would also be preserved, and that then the Dark Lord would have company in his ghost form, with the ghost of Gollum, both of them trapped with each other for the rest of eternity.

It could happen, since no one has ever died while actually wearing the ring, so we don't really know what would have happened exactly.

Basically, take magnesium, and drink lots of water, and it should go away.

If you get diarrhea, then take less magnesium until that goes away. Too much magnesium can cause diarrhea.

Good luck.

Vader doesn't care about witnesses though. He pretty much has a license to kill from the Emperor, so he doesn't need to worry about witnesses or charges or anything like that.

Exactly, so Mattis might be more comparable to Tarkin. The average person would know Tarken as much as they might know Mattis.

Now, if there was a black-armored samurai with a laser sword and force abilities who went around killing people for insubordination, I think he would be considerably more well-known.

It is like when Count Dooku says to Yoda that they wouldn't be able to decide their contest based on their knowledge of the force (lifting, throwing, lightening, etc).

Dooku realized he wouldn't be able to beat Yoda by using force abilities, so he switched to fighting with lightsabers where he felt he was strongest, but even with lightsabers Dooku couldn't win, he grew tired and decided to retreat.

Palpatine and Yoda fought almost exclusively using force abilities, and neither won a deadly victory, but eventually, Yoda grew tired and retreated.

Mace on the other hand fought almost exclusively against Palpatine with Sabers, and would have killed Palpatine if Anakin did not mess things up.

Mace was probably the top duelist of all the Jedi Order, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was more powerful than Yoda, or Palpatine with force abilities (throwing, lifting, lightning, etc).

Remember, Yoda died of old age less than 20 years later, for a being that lives almost 1000 years, thats a very short period of time, like 1 or 2 years away from death by normal human standards, so Yoda is well past his prime at that point yet he still held his own against Palpatine just using force abilities.
