Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•An alien civilization that doesn't understand what alcohol is would be very confused as to why there are laws against "underage drinking" or "drinking and driving"
1·27 天前I love how that scene plays just like a drug PSA. it is pretty much the only time Tasha or Wesley speak in the entire episode and it could be isolated and played as a drug PSA. this was the last episode before Tasha dies

2·27 天前I have always thought it would be difficult to explain to an alien why we drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes

3·28 天前They might not have a concept of alcohol. They might only know safe beverages. So the idea of drinking beverages being restricted would be weird

I’ve been going down a YouTube rabbithole about a recent LEGO related scandal. It’s a long and complicated story I won’t go into but it involves corruption being exposed in a company called Bricks and Minfigs and corruption also being exposed in a police department in Utah. People are being sued left and right, the guy who spread the word about the corruption is in danger of going to jail, BAM is losing a lot of business, but I haven’t heard anything about the police being held accountable for their actions. The general public is punishing the big business involved by boycotting, but I don’t know of anything being done to punish the corrupt police.
So I just keep thinking throughout this how exposing the corruption to the public leads to consequences if the corrupt group is a big business, but virtually nothing is dine when it’s a government agency. And what can the public do? Can’t boycott the police. We can demand accountability but we only have so much power. The main power people have over government is leveraging votes but now the American government is plotting to make voting harder. Exposing corruption to the public may damage big businesses but the public seems to be helpless when the government is corrupt. A fucking criminal organization is running the federal government and almost nothing is being done about it. The public all know. Now what’s to be done?
Update: since posting this comment, I heard that the people in Fork, Utah are protesting over this. I wonder if they’ll also be having a NO King’s protest in that town today

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If 100 years from now, the only surviving Star Wars movies were The Phantom Menace and Rise of Skywalker, people would barely be able to tell that they're connected
1·1 個月前Also, you seem to think it’s a matter of fact that The Phantom Menace is irrelevant to the story. If you care so much about Anakin being the center of the story, how can you not think his childhood is relevant? It’s part of the story of why he turned to the dark side, because of how he was separated from his mother without being ready and how the jedi didn’t want him at first. You really telling me the story would be the same if it started with Attack of the Clones?
Anyway, my only point was that if you watch the first and last part of the saga without the 7 films in between, you would be a bit confused as to what happened in between. If you watch all 9 of them, they are all connected and all relevant to the story, you just wouldn’t know it from the first and last alone

1·1 個月前Isn’t that kind of a matter of opinion? The sequel trilogy is a continuation of the story, that’s why they have official numbers. The emperor returns as the main villain in Rise of Skywalker. By your reasoning we can say Star Wars is the story of destroying the death star and Empire Strikes Back is a whole new story with the same characters. You can make that case regarding any sequel. Officially, the sequel trilogy is part of the same story, it’s officially called the Skywalker Saga. Have you even watched the sequel trilogy? Cause it’s clearly a continuation of the same story. That’s generally what a sequel is.

1·1 個月前I’m not sure which movie you think I’m talking about. Rise of Skywalker is part 9 of the saga, the conclusion of the sequel trilogy. The sequel trilogy is connected to the rest of the saga, it features Luke, Han, and Leia as old people. I’m not sure what you’re referring to saying the story ends with Anakin’s death. That happens in Return of the Jedi. Are you saying the story of Star Wars ends there and the sequel trilogy is a completely new story? Cause it isn’t, it’s a continuation of the story

6·1 個月前Technically, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and some of the other jedi have voice cameos in Rise of Skywalker. Personally, I wish Anakin’s ghost had more of a role in the sequel trilogy
