Moron Investment Opportunity
Buffalo Bayou brewery offers investors free beer for life with $1k investment Now before you get any ideas about breaking even on your first visit, it's one beer, per day, for life, at their Houston location. Still, might not be a bad investment if you live in the area. Figure a craft beer costs at least $4, in 250 days you're in the black. Assuming I live a normal lifespan, I'm sure I'll go out for drinks more than 250 timesDonna Riley calls for doing away with the notion of academic rigor entirely, suggesting that higher education pursue "other ways of knowing" in order to "build a community for inclusive and holistic engineering education."Hey, what's the worst that could happen?
I hope "Professor" Donna Riley is underneath that.

I have no doubt Keyton's getting bullied. None at all. And no doubt that he's in a fatherless home.
Ladies - Moms - there's a time and a place for Facebook. Taping your son crying about being bullied ain't that place. That's the type of thing most women either can't, or won't, understand. The people doing the bullying - do not give two shits about that emotionally stirring video. That shit is cat-nip to them.
And the school ain't going to do shit. As long as Keyton takes the bullying ... quietly ... it's just not a problem.
Keyton, being a small kid, ain't going to win a fight. So somebody needs to teach Keyton how to pick up a rock, or a bat, and beat the holy shit out of somebody ... then take his suspension with chin up.
That's a lesson a Mom won't teach a Son. A Father might ... I have ... but I don't think one's around for this kid.

First, they determine who the victim is by membership in some oppressed group, then the "oppressed" is right and the "oppressor" is wrong. No matter what choices were made, what actions were taken. That's how they end up with so many double standards and contradictions.

And this ain't nothing all that new. Kids have been bullied, mercilessly, for a long time. I was the smartest, shortest, and just about the poorest kid growing up.
I learned to sit detention and use what was at hand. If this kid will do that a time or two, the little pricks that just get older will move on.

Talk about bouncing back!
So, Ms Joyce spent a big chunk of the day at the gym with Dear Friend Jessica:
"She's off to the races. So I say, let's go for 2 miles... She says, "let's round it up to 2p min." Then, 10 min of, "feet, hips, core, shoulder up & straight". Balance, alignment, cardio, reflex.
Best part? When I picked her up this morning we were walking down the driveway to the car and realized we forgot her walker."
As Hubby says, "kicking it."
Thanks, Jessica!

See ... but that's the thing.
The "system" protects the bully only because the victim makes less noise. Look - schools, like cities and governments and workplaces and relationships and everything else - do not give two shits about fair. They want Quiet. At any cost.
So, if one side is Unreasonable (the Bully), they'll just insist that the other side (the Victim) shut up and take it. That's just how it works.
The trick, if you really want that shit to change as the victim, is to get just as unreasonable. And accept the short-term push-back.

Zoobi Shahnaz allegedly obtained her ill-gotten lucre by fooling banks into giving her a $22,500 loan and more than a dozen credit cards, which she used to purchase approximately $62,000 in cryptocurrencies online, according to the district attorney's office.
She then wired the digital dollars to individuals and shell entities in Pakistan, China and Turkey that were ultimately destined for the terrorist organization.
Yes, her name is Zoobi.

My daughter was suspended for defending herself against a bully as I had taught here to do. This was Freshman year of High School. I was working from home at the time, and went right over after getting that call. Picked her up and had a quick conversation about what happened. She was definitely defending herself.
Dropped her off at home and immediately went back to the School and barged into the Principals office and demanded a meeting.
At first I was told she was too busy, but when I told them the next time she would see me would be in Court, her schedule opened up.
The suspension and any reference to it was immediately removed ftom her record.

Oh. I thought it was in Buffalo, which would make it even less likely that I would be there. I dunno, one $4.00 beer a week for ~5 years.
Investing $1000 at a reasonable 4% compounded quarterly would be ~$2,200 after 5 years, which is a good deal more than $1040 worth of beer.

Realistically, college should be for the top 10% or so of high school graduates. The rest - e.g., sociology majors, etc. - are pretty much wasting their time, and should go to the work force, because they will not - and most likely cannot - learn anything that will be useful after college.

My children were always told that, no matter what their school said, I expected them to defend themselves.

Both times, I let the school administrators know that I was taking my child out for ice cream because they had done the right thing.

POD (print on demand) can be a strange animal at times. Book distributors are worse. My wholesaler would show 100 copies of a POD in stock, which apparently meant "We don't really have any printed and bound at this moment, but we'll get on it right away and ship it with your next order." I assume Amazon has its own POD machines, but I could very well be wrong, and it is using Ingram's Lightning Press machines. Either way, I'd bet any amount of money Amazon did not realize how big the Horde is or the interconnectedness of conservative blogs and wasn't planning on so many copies being ordered in such a short amount of time. In the middle of the Christmas rush, such miscalculations have a habit of becoming snowballs rolling down hill.
I have not read through the whole thing, yet; even I can't read that fast . But I am nominating Dysfunctional Family Mashed Potatoes for special recognition. I thought MY family was dysfunctional. Himself asked me why I was laughing so hard. I read the recipe to him. He frowned, then remarked that I was beginning to find the oddest things funny. I don't think he gets the Horde's sense of humor.

Something happened, not sure what, and he became a John Avlon style "conservative."
And then he became a full-on #nevertrump rager.
And now he seems to have softened on that.
However, throughout his evolution of his personal political position, he remains the best interviewer on radio. First, he takes great pains to identify who he is speaking to. We don't know everyone's voice. It helps that he frequently says "we are speaking with such and such the author of..."
When he interviews a book author, he has read the dang book, and he made notes. Sometimes, authors are a lot better at writing than they are at radio, so he can handhold them to get their story out.

Horde, prayers for an arch nemesis of mine please - he was underneath a boat today using a grinder and lost control of it while it was full on. Took over 100 stitches to close the wound that runs from his eyebrow, across his nose in down into his mouth. Missed his eyes thank God.
Honestly, he looks like Frankenstein but, all things considered, he's one lucky guy.

It was, and it wasn't. I started out majoring in the literature of another language, but later broadened it to literature in general.
Imagine my arts colleagues' reaction when they assumed a no-shit physical scientist had read and could critique the same things they had read.
Imagine further their reaction when I shifted the conversation back from literature to chemistry and physics.
The operative line from them: "No one can consider himself educated if he hasn't read [fill in the blank here].
My response: "I agree. But I'd add to that that no one can consider himself educated if he hasn't read the Feynmann lectures on physics."

I dislike this current trend of people turning their problems into public spectacles, especially when there are children involved. If your child is being bullied you have to decide how to deal with it. There is no perfect answer.
But bringing millions of ignorant strangers into the discussion is just stupid. It makes the parents look like attention whores who are trying to turn their kid into an attention whore.

Learn only science and no arts or philosophy means you're great with gadgets but lack understanding of how to use them properly or why. That's what we're at now: all the non-scientific portions of education have been so corroded and destroyed that they are essentially not taught. So we have people fascinated with gadgets and science but no understanding of how we go there (history) or what it means to use it (philosophy).
Learn only arts and such with no science and you're of little practical value to the world. All the learning in the world is meaningless until you can apply it.

Inevitable result of state-run health care is the diminution of the value of humanity. It all ends up being numbers on a balance sheet.

True enough. But arts types often act as though theirs is a higher intelligence, which is simply not true.

My P-CHem professor used to write H(psi)=E(psi) on the chalkboard then launch into 75 minutes of calculus equation writing on one of those multi-slider chalkboards. Somewhere in the middle he would stare at the board, say "oops" and erase an entire chalkboard worth of equation with the sleeve of his sportcoat, then continue. At the end he would say "any questions?" The tests were a bunch of incomprehensible calculus equations that I still don't understand but, somehow, on the curve, I got As both semesters.

Sure, but that's a statement of what's happened to the arts and literature education in colleges and universities, not the discipline in and of its self. To get your bachelor's in Princeton you had to pass a an oral test in Latin and Greek before a panel of the department heads. You had to memorize huge sections of literature and know how it all fit together in history. You had to know and understand art and architecture even if you were no painter. You had to know music and have plays memorized even if you had a tin ear.
The standards have crumbled into diversity virtue signalling and feminazi progressive theorizing. So yeah, its all crap now. But that doesn't mean the discipline is crap.

A few years ago when my girl was 14 the wife called me at work and told me she said four boys were berating her on the bus and one tried to grab her ass, but she said, 'it was ok, he only got my thigh..."
When I got home I got on a mapping program and called her in and asked, name and where do they live?
Ok, streetview, is this his house?
Now a little drive by with her verify where they live. You sure? Ok.
Ok, I'll take care of it.
Next day, called principal, briefed her on the incident (just four guys bullying my girl) and told her I was coming in.
When I got there they invited me into the principal's office and my girl was in there, and she was sent out.
I just told the principal that the girl said four guys were bullying her on the bus and one tried to grab her ass... but only got her thigh.
Principal offers that boys being boys blah blah.
Yeah I understand... blah blah, that is the only reason I came here to talk to you. Right now they are juveniles, next time they are criminals and I instructed my daughter to call 911 and tell them she is being assaulted right now and she cannot get away.
Principal says, oh no, don't go there.
Says I, next time it happens you won't hear about it from me. Now your bus has cameras, time to call the bus garage and get them. That's all I got. All done? Bye.
I leave, my girl goes back in.
Next day principal calls and says she has reviewed vid and something will be done.
Next couple days she calls a couple of times to tell me the perps have been suspended.
A couple of days later ask my girl if anything happened. She said one of kids in was in her class and the principal came in a couple of days ago, took him out, and hasn't seen him again. She said they all were suspended for a few weeks each.

The calc prof I referred to was my instructor for both Calc I and Calc II.
I was a wet behind the ears freshman for Calc I. There were five hour exams that semester. My grades were A; B; C; D; F.
I flunked the final, got a D for the term.
Calc II. The instructor for my section was not announced, so with the optimism of youth, I went there and found a seat.
Guess who walked in the door.
I sat there in the cold realization that my college career was OVER.
I got a B for the course.
The Calc prof was a cool guy . . . he had a spiffy tight-trimmed muttonchop beard which was, at the very least, radically non-standard at the college I was at, at that time.
I credit him for teaching me how to study for college courses.

I think there's a strong argument to be made for having math courses (in particular) taught by people who are not intrinsically that gifted in math, for two reasons.
First, because the mathematically gifted pass over things that strike them as elementary to get to things that interest them, thereby bewildering the non-mathematically gifted.
Second, the mathematically gifted make a fetish of rigor, as though anybody else (i.e., people who have a shot at getting laid) is all that concerned about rigor. They want to understand the concept, which can be cleaned up and made rigorous later, in good time.
I recently read a history of mathematics, and was shocked to learn that no less a mathematician than Gauss had whiffed on the convergence of a function that alternately returned +1 and -1, i.e., a freshman calculus problem in convergence.
Now THAT is the sort of thing that should be - and if I were teaching it - WOULD be taught. This shit is not as trivial as malodorous latter-day virgins would have us believe.

The School of Engineering Education has almost nothing to do with Engineering, other than running the Freshman Engineering experience. It exists to give non-Asian minorities and women employment opportunities, and as a beachhead for SJW entryism. At one time, their Interdisciplinary program was a good way to get a combined engineering and science degree, but most people who went that route now go through the School of Biomedical Engineering.

I had an integral calf exam with two problems. Got one right, the other wrong, not even partial credit. Took it to a forth year math major who lived on the floor who said I got it right.
Took it to the prof, asked what gives, its right. He looked at it for a bit. Yeah, it um, oh you didn't use the method taught in class.
Says I, uh?
Says he, you did not use the method taught in class, the approximate method.
Says I, but I got the exact solution.
Says he, but you didn't find the approximate solution. Fail.
It was a problem integrating an exponential function which is supposed to be too hard so approximate.

The next day the instructor was asking for volunteers to do the homework problems on the board nobody volunteered for the hard problem. So I said I'll do it, wrote out the answer on the board and sat down. The instructor got up and walked over to the board and looked over it for a few minutes. She turned around and asked, "how'd you figure that out?"
Apparently this was a very hard problem to solve but I was able to do it in half the number of steps of the route typically used.

Yep. I couldn't agree more. Why was the math developed? Malodorous latter-day virgins would have us believe it dropped out of the sky.
Only later does it become apparent that most math arose as a way to solve a practical problem. How did LCAO-MO theory arise? Did Milliken just come into the office one day, put his hand down his pants, and come up with it?
No. He was trying to figure out the relationship between extent of conjugation and the wavelength of absorption of dyes, at the behest of dye manufacturers. Something that NEVER gets mentioned in presentations of molecular orbital theory, but is important to understanding where it came from.

Okay, fine. So next time I'll be sure to (a) let her know and (b) turn on the answering service. But I admit I think she could have handled things better. Oh, and I offered to take the time I took in the restroom off my timecard.

This bint's ravings show what happens when a virulent bacillus breaks out of isolation. "Studies" ghettos were set up to appease the perpetually aggrieved while the rest of the university went it's own way teaching Chaucer and differential equations. When these academic frauds got joint appointments in established departments church was out. They acted as zampolits enforcing the latest foolishness, getting their ideological allies appointments and terrorizing others into silence.

Rape of Nature, the Earth Goddess. You see the male scientist wants to "forcefully probe" Mother Nature. To take her secrets agin' her will.

Since Soviet materials were mentioned, I caught something on some tv
show about bone records, which were bootleg rock n roll records made
from discarded x rays. It's amazing the ingenuity of people seeking some
freedom.

Controls format is basically straight up, early '90s Nikon FM analog dials, right where they're supposed to be.
All of the digital "magic buttons" are on the back, along with the video viewing screen.
But as far as the physicality of using the camera, all the "muscle memory" from many tens of thousands of frames shot through various FMs, FEs and F-2a bodies... everything falls into place.
Not a cheap camera. Uses the same sensor as Nikon's top-end pro DLSRs.
But, want.

There's some for sale on ebay, though I doubt the authenticity. The other part of that show that cracked me up was an interview with some Soviet era musician who got hauled into the police station for playing "Satisfaction" at a show.
He got out of trouble by telling them the reason Mick Jagger couldn't get satisfaction was that he was working class and the rich were keeping him down. And they bought that.

I have a buddy who likes the franchise, always wants to go on opening night. A bunch of us go out for drinks and a movie. It's about the only time I go to movies in the theater.
I cracked up the entire theater at The Force Awakens when Leia sends Jimmy Smits to Alderan. "Yeah, THAT'LL be a safe place" I said loudly.

==========================
The Soviet manufacturing system was centrally planned. Every factory and plant had an annual allocation of materials for building/fabricating products. If, for some reason , a factory did not build its quota for the year and there were surplus materials sitting in the warehouse, the next year's allocation was cut by that amount. That's one reason Soviet consumer refrigerators weighed 750 pounds. Use it up. Use it all up, Comrade.

And he makes dozens and dozens of hospital visits to sick and injured kids in their hospitals, every year.
Does so under the media radar, too. No cameras, except for the cel phones wielded by stunned parents and nurses alike.
These are not "Press Release" photo ops.
He just finds out where the kids in need are, and simply shows up. And is usually gone, long before the media has the first clue that he was there.
Houston has another such guy who's a local institution of GOOD.
"Mattress Mac", owner of Gallery Furniture. How big is Gallery? He's three stores now. But even when he was but ONE individual store... that ONE store rated in the Top 20 of all American furniture CHAIN retailers.
Dude kicks some marketing ass.
During Hurricane Harvey, he opened his warehouses, laid out the mattresses, and told folks; "here, come in out of the storm, rest and find shelter."
Thousands, did.
The Greater Houston area is does NOT suffer suckage insofar as a neighborly place to live.

That poor little boy, whose own fatther pointed a gun at him when he was dealing with the tumor he had, and filled his head with hate, now has even more abuse to deal with...beyond bullying.
The sins of the father are being held against the son. I'm not on twitter, but I hope he is still getting some support. This kid has been dealt a horrid hand with parents, and illness & bullying. And now it seems he is a lightening rod for people's hate. smh

I see this article:
"A five-year inquiry into sexual abuse in Australia has released its final report, saying institutions had "seriously failed" to protect children.
The royal commission, Australia's highest form of public inquiry, heard more than 8,000 testimonies from victims of abuse.
The accusations covered churches, schools and sports clubs over decades."
Geez, if Bonhoeffer is right and the mark of a civilization is how it treats its children, we have been screwing up around the world. Good thing I'm not God. At this point I'd send another flood.

O.D.Dad's folks took our boys to see Santa while we shopped once, years ago. They kept them out as late as they could and came home to find that our dog had gotten bored and ripped open a bunch of presents (that had been sent from my family) under the tree.
One Grandparent kept the boys outside while the other scurried to hide the gifts. They were so worried about them seeing them before Christmas morning.
We came home to them with folded arms, suggesting our dog had no manners.

Donna Riley calls for doing away with the notion of academic rigor entirely, suggesting that higher education pursue "other ways of knowing" in order to "build a community for inclusive and holistic engineering education."
A chick engineering professor. Professor of Dildo Technology or something? Affirmative action hire? What?
From time to time I'll see ads on my FB page from Boeing, whining that only 13% of their engineers are women, and we need to "change that".
There is a deep-seated obsession in some quarters in this country that we need more women in STEM fields. To which I am not opposed...that is, if women WANT to of their own freewill...and if they don't want to of their own freewill, no biggie, so long as freewill attaches.

Yes. Another good thing. I know stuff went on in 50s too, but it was hushed up. So it is coming into the open and no longer being shoved into the dark corners...and that will hopefully prevent the large scale future abuse. We had the illusion of child safety, not the reality. Same in Catholic Church.
Unfortunately, it feels one step forward and two back. With the Islam full scale child abuse & rape normalization & FGM, UN troops sexually using children in 3rd world countries, and sex trafficking. But maybe that too was just hidden before.
But unburdening it tonight helps. The continuing unmasking of sexual crap abuse in Hollywood & Journalism doesn't help probably. That's a constant drumbeat!
Thanks jarvis & louisagirl. I was fortunate you were both here tonight. A sorrow shared is halved...or something. :-)

Tho, I stopped getting new albums after Roll The Bones, because they just strayed a bit too far from what I really liked.

We all have our role. My problem is that, though I get into science to a great degree (I was looking forward to this past August's eclipse since I was 15, for example - never mind how many decades have passed since I was 15), I've never gotten the hang of math. Above all, with the reflection and wisdom that comes with age, I can tell you that it boils down to not really having good guides through the world of math, and most important, my impatience. Pounding out pages and pages of numbers and equations was never my cup of tea no matter how important I conceded it was. I have always been far more comfortable with words and language, which explains my BA and MA in history. (I, as well, have run into many, many liberal arts types who thought highly of themselves and couldn't understand why the world does not appreciate their talents.) I will say this, though: I've known many STEM types who look at me and swear up and down that they couldn't do what I do (such as lock myself away in an archive someplace and conduct massive research); but simultaneously, I am looking at them as if they are the Almighty. I squeaked past College Algebra, for crying out loud.

I never minded their newer material, and there is something to be said for a band that just goes out, follows their hearts, and consequences be damned. (I knew Rush fans who stopped getting new albums after Hemispheres.)
I consider myself lucky to have seen them 8 times. If you pointed a gun at my head I'd say Signals is my favorite album. I don't really have a favorite band, but Rush is definitely way up there on my list, along with Dream Theater.

If anybody's still around, here's my not-real-spoilerly commentary (maybe a smidge in #4).
1) Happy to report I didn't actually have to pay to see it. Not that's it's so terrible - just that it's really just kind of the same old stuff, and so I would've waited until it showed up on cable or something if it were otherwise.
2) It's didn't seem like quite the blatant re-hash as the last one. So it seemed like there was something resembling some originality in the story, plus there were a number of funny moments. There was the usual people & things fighting with the the other usual people and things, and stuff blowing up, so the fans will like it just fine.
3) On the whole, a lot of things in the plot just didn't make sense - and really the whole plot didn't make any sense either. On the whole, the whole thing is kind of a downer, and the big dramatic moment is something of a scam. The fans won't be as "wowed" as when the original ones came out, but won't really care.
4) Maybe I heard about this ahead of time - this one's PC messaging. It seems like practically all the bad guys are older, white men, while practically all the resistance is minorities and women. The resistance leadership, in particular, is dominated by women. The resistance's most loyal and badass warrior, constantly accomplishing unbelievable things and risking his life - a white man - is not only dismissed as a reckless, but actually demoted, and left out of the loop. The only heroic white male figure is Luke - who is kind of an idiot, a quitter filled self-doubt and self-loathing. Even the black guy is basically neutered, when a woman "saves" him from sacrificing his life to save the cause. In the resistance, the women Always Know Best.

#3 made perfect sense to me, but I'm a long time fan and read lots of the EU books, so some of the stuff works.. just think, how did Vader choke Piett from across the galaxy??
Poe isnt white as they'd like.
Yes, Finn, but, its for a recurring theme, so I give that a pass.. In fact, I thought the shadow would be the Falcon lol "YAHOOO KID!!!"
Again, I liked it, prob my new #3 behind ESB and ANH
Resistance was a lil too much woman centered, but, maybe that had to do with all the men getting killed doing their jobs like Poe did early on lol..
#4 what? Old white guys? where? Kylo is young as they come as far as baddys, and Hux (rimes with putz) is maybe 35??

At the risk of sounding immodest, you remind me of how unusual I am (which explains a lot of problems I run into). Sometimes refer to myself as a "mathematical one-percenter", and the college I went to didn't have a course called "College Algebra" (Calculus being the first semester Freshman math course).
Yet, I do a ton of genealogy, and can EASILY imagine spending all day doing research in an archive. It's all just methodically processing information - I don't see it's much different. That being said, the practical value in higher math (like calculus) is often in the understanding of basic concepts, rather than the nuts-and-bolts execution of them.
Having tutored my daughter through a 4 year degree in recent years, I've also come to realize something about an engineering degree that I never really realized before. Engineering isn't just a subject that many find hard, because of the math. It's also 5+ years of schooling crammed into a 4-year degree.

We clearly have an internet disagreement, but I can only offer video proof and the original script to offer that in the old version Han murders the sh*t out of Greedo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKxOEUhRMt0&t=0m30s
Which is good. It's what Han's character needs to be.
And why Han's "sorry about the mess" comment makes sense.

I agree Han needed to be cold. But Greedo pulling the trigger as he was shot doesn't take away from that.. Greedo shooting first, and Han rubbernecking out of the way DOES. So , we don't have much of an argument, either way.

The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it was. The badass pilot takes on the whole goddamn Empire fleet, basically by HIMSELF, basically succeeds, and whole episode is exists to put him down as a LIABILITY. Because the bombers were so ridulous that when something exploded near it, the whole thing went skabloo-ey, and then the ones NEXT to it blow up from THAT explosion? Absurd!
Then he has that daring and elaborate plan (that always works in a Star Wars movie), but then it turns out that that there really WAS some sort of plan and they simply shut him out and didn't even tell him about it.
The General chick saves the day (OK, maybe the hour) by crashing into the bad guys, but when the guy does it to the weapon aimed at the door, well we can't have that, the asian gal stops him - so the door is penetrated - but it's OK because Luke miraculously shows up? So when then women sacrifice themselves, it's heroic - when the men do it, it's just stupid and the women have to stop them. Not really the Star Wars of old.
And Kylo's the only young guy there, and a special case, obviously, not counting Storm Trooper flunkies.

In my (albeit limited) experience, you would be unusual. In the sense that, like I said, I knew STEM types that looked at what I did with horror. (But it was fun listening to the mechanical engineering and electrical engineering majors get into it as to which was better.)
Or, for another example, while deployed with a bunch of doctors, I'd be sitting there at a table, eating with them, and they were all talking shop, and I could barely follow along with their discussions as it all way in the weeds. I'm talking cardiologists and other such specialists, surgeons, and so forth. But the instant something came up with which I was familiar due to my academic background, I'd rattle off what I knew and what I learned, it was their turn to barely follow along with what I was talking about. And they were looking at me with awe, all the time I'm thinking to myself "Geez, people, you can perform open heart surgery right here on this table if it came down to needing to, y'all have technical skills I can only dream of having, and I'm just a damned historian!" But we all have our skill set and what we bring to the group.
But I knew someone like you in the university library who worked there in a capacity that escapes me. In my undergrad days I met him while I was writing my seminar paper (my bachelor's thesis, if you will, on Constitutional law, more or less). I needed assistance in finding case law. Anyways, the guy I got the assistance from had PhDs in chemistry AND history. Dude was off the charts as far as intellect goes.

No. They DID some sort of gigantic cruiser, but that was portrayed as badass guy who did it being a liability. In fact, that's what was missing - REAL big, heroic moments that saved the day. In reality, practically NOBODY was saved - it was all a big exercise in holding off the bad guys just long enough so that, ultimately, a handful of rebels (few enough to fit in the Millenium Falcon!) escaped. We're supposed to see that as a victory - because the movement live.
But wasn't that what happened in the original series? That didn't exactly work out so great. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..."
Posted by: Optimizer at December 15, 2017 04:14 AM (EnK/R)
It took me a long time to be able to enjoy watching old black and white films. Even when they're excellent movies, they're still old movies that look like old movies. They aren't meticulously filmed by specialists and made to look aged in post processing. They're not filmed ironically. They're just old movies that look old.
I can completely see how/why millenials and younger are nuts about the prequels and recent movies.

Basically, they combined Han Solo and Luke into one - but with Anakin's techno-wizardry (which we didn't really see in the new one) - and made a girl for political-correctness. You can have a strong female central character like that, but I didn't really think she pulled it off very convincingly. She was better in the newer one though, and seems like a viable main character now.
Leia's still a General fighting with the resistance - despite the fact that the bad guys she was resisting were defeated (somehow a new group of virtually identical bad guys magically showed up - even with a bigger, badder Death Star). So Leia's basically a loser who never did anything with her Jedi powers, and the whole plot doesn't make any sense. You're just supposed to accept that it's still the Good Guys vs the Bad Guys.
Hero Girl's sidekick in the previous one was a black guy who was literally portayed as being who he was because of a manufacturing defect. Not exactly the usual Star Wars explanation of Fate, or funky stuff un your blood. He was kind of side-lined in the new one, and saved by a no-nonsense Asian gal (who was actually a decent character). So sometimes the diversity works, and sometimes it fails because it's apparently for it's own sake. You look at the rebel command center, and it's almost all women, and it just seems ridiculous.
