it’s a copypasta meme from 2020ish

"Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power." ―Sabine Wren and Kanan Jarrus on the Darksaber, Rebels: s3e15 Trials of the Dark Saber

I’m sure there are other references, too, but for it to be a power current it needs to flow to and from a terminus. See also the Tagge Protoblade in which the energy circles around a metal core (internally referred to as the corn dog lightsaber) instead of being a sword

another note on the light Saber blade: it’s actually a long spinning loop like a narrow ‘0’ or the eye of a needle, which is why it doesn’t disconnect

I lived near Brixton, South London. There was an immediate street party.

Perhaps Thor is Pozzo.

well of course not, they all have sports cars etc etc

Studies suggest this is an extreme minority, and stories like yours - while yours might be true (and be fair to me here, we’re just two usernames, we don’t know each other’s motives and biases), it’s often used to push reasons to defund homeless shelters and criminalize being poor.

Even if you have seen a homeless person (or imposter) do something wrong, it might be worth considering that being homeless is very difficult and often caused by pre-existing medical conditions or institutionalized discrimination.

I saw it on Jul 4 in the cinema with some friends as something to do. it wasn’t truly awful just kinda mid.

It feels like ScarJo is trying hard to be Gal Godot, that they’re trying to muscle in on the Slutty Little Glasses for Men meme, and the MegaDinos that are genetically engineered are the least interesting parts of the movie.

It’s in favor, the characters are mildly interesting, interact well and the structure is pretty satisfying.

I just watched the new Jurassic Park movie yesterday and a guy falls 500 feet into a shallow river and is completely unhurt so now I don’t know who to believe

the joke is he’s falling to his death and someone is telling him “you can do it [survive]!”

Gustav Janouch interviewed Kafka who talked passionately about music but not specific music.

However, being from Central Europe at the turn of the century, it’s likely he was talking about the composers Smetana and Dvořak.

it’s gambling for children is why. While I can choose to not buy the MTX inside a game, children and some young adults are more vulnerable to psychologically manipulative dark patterns that have been designed to mimic addiction as closely as possible.

no it’s not real

I saw one from the same org that was openly supporting creationism and had the Ascent of Man crossed out, so I doubt you’ll get anywhere with them if you do call.

man if only there was a way to link the changing climate to climate change

NaN naan Jeremy that’s insane

Arguably, the meme maker is the one framing a still picture as a sexualized moment and thus is the one creating the sexist narrative from a still that we don’t have the context on.

they’ll probably deport the baby

TIL - thanks
