Before we figured out tools and became apex predators we were prey animals... we're SUPPOSED to be nervous and scared because that's what kept us alive. Some people have speculated that this is why in aggregate humans are prone to being spiteful, destructive, bored, and shitty

I could be a racist piece of shit and drop the n word. If a black person then turns around and calls all white people racist pieces of shit, we're both bigots

Except... 2 people being assholes when the power dynamic is still very stilted is NOT a level playing field. Context matters. You're not some enlightened sigma with this hot take.

Suffer a few generations of systemic oppression and you might get the parity you think you have

I'll make the argument that they neither think nor care. They got their political W and have moved on to some new, bright, shiny fuckery

Yeah, they're fine for what they are, but I'll take that over shitting myself inside out by eating wheat

Domino's hates selling smalls

Yet that's the only size they sell their gluten free pies in. I rarely buy from there (my kid considers it a treat) but I hate paying $15 for plain 10" gf pizza that's mid at best

Kinda shitty that Dominos has it set up so that tip is calculated on top of the delivery and service fees. Tipping on the value of food, I understand. Tipping on the cost of those other fees is double dipping and bad faith in my opinion.

Seriously, "y'all charged me a service fee to deliver my food? Cool! Let me tip you for that!"

Having done time in the service industry, I have no problem tipping where it's warranted, but you're tipping the Dominos corporation for their fuckery at that point, not the driver

It's even more fun as Christopher Walken

It was only because of that ignominy that he became an icon… why take that away?

$$$$$

I don't disagree necessarily with your take on Boba Fett. I think it's distractingly annoying how the current Star Wars universe shoehorns Mandalorians into any story they can because of Fett

I think it's Joachim Phoenix's character's son, but yeah...

The first one is just about some folks who like cars stealing DVD players

Not even... CRT TV/VCR combos

Andor is a slow burn. It doesn't bloom until they're in prison

Boba Fett came back in the books which... aren't cannon, but a lot of the cooler elements have been borrowed and shoehorned in (ie Thrawn)

I didn't have a problem with it. I just think the show fumbled that story pretty hard.

Kenobi... man. I was excited, but honestly... the fight with Vader just fucked up so much of the continuity for me. You knew nothing was at stake because they'd have to fight later in ANH. Also, it completely invalidated Vader's while tirade about "last time we met, you were the master" because Vader effectively kicked his ass. It was a meh story that didn't need to happen IMHO

 

An inmate whose HIV-positive diagnosis devolved into AIDS died because the medical staff at the California jail where he was housed denied him lifesaving medication even though they had his prescription and were told he needed it to survive, a new federal wrongful death lawsuit alleges

 

After years of resisting subpoenas to testify under oath about deputy gangs, former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has reversed course and agreed to appear in front of the Civilian Oversight Commission.

Happy Friday, everyone!
