Not really, I loved the original trilogy that Rogue One dumps all over.

It’s not even a good movie, much less a good Star Wars movie.
There are longer absolute takedowns of it, but I like this one:
It’s worth it when you get to the end and hear Morgan Freeman utter the line “Will someone, PLEASE! Shoot this motherfucker!”
The really surprising bit is that it’s based on a comic where the characters aren’t assassins, they’re super-villains.
Side scrolling fighter like X-Men or TMNT only Magnus: Robot Fighter:

They had a great opportunity when they did Turok but somehow missed licensing Magnus.
The “Jesus Juice” thing, in retrospect, sounds very Cosby adjacent. :(
At least they got the budget through… I’ll take it!
Cardboard characters, plot holes, and going against everything the original trilogy stood for.
It got on my bad side when they introduced Cassian by having him murder a completely innocent person, something the Empire would do.
Then, later in the film, when it’s his fucking job to assassinate a legitimate military target, he gets all sweaty and - OH - JUST… CAN’T… PULL… THE… TRIGGER… No explanation, no character development… just because… That was when I walked out.
The real reason of course, is more complicated. The original writer/director fucked things up so colossally he was actually removed from the picture and a new guy was brought in to re-write and re-shoot. Cassian’s change in tone was because of the two different creators.
I’ve been to movies so terrible I left!

Fascinating too that the study cuts off at 2019, right before Covid.
Wonder how it looks now?
This is why we watch polls months before the election. Biden has a FUCKTON of work to do in Michigan.
2020 - Biden - 50.62% Trump - 47.84%
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/michigan/
Feb. 22-23 - Kaplan Strategies - Trump +10
Feb. 20-24 - Emerson College - Trump +2
Feb. 20-24 - Emerson College - Trump +3
(+2 is a head to head, Biden/Trump, +3 is a multi-candidate poll with Kennedy, West, and Stein)
Feb. 22-25 - North Star Opinion Research - 43/43 tie
March 8-12 - Quinnipiac University - Trump +3
March 8-12 - Quinnipiac University - Trump +5
(+3 is a head to head, Biden/Trump, +5 is a multi-candidate poll with Kennedy, West, and Stein)
March 13-18 - SSRS - Trump +6
(multi-candidate poll with Kennedy, West, and Stein)
March 14-18 - Emerson College - 50/50 tie
March 14-18 - Emerson College - Trump +2
(Tie is a head to head, Biden/Trump, +2 is a multi-candidate poll with Kennedy, West, and Stein)
Tracking this over time is important.
Further, if you look at the differences between head to head polling, and polling that includes 3rd party candidates, it shows you how voting 3rd party is voting for Trump.
Removed, it’s fun talking about “Punch a Nazi Day” but specifically advocating punching specific Nazis on sight bumps the advocating violence rule.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
Removed, rule 5, if you’re going to disagree, don’t accuse the other user of supporting rape and murder.
Removed and temp banned for BLATANT misinformation.
This particular conspiracy theory stems from a couple of things… an ISIS attack on Israel back in, I think it was 2016? That ISIS actually APOLOGIZED for. Followed by this kind of weird lack of response from Israel.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-defense-minister-says-is-apologized-to-israel-for-november-clash/
When you condsider how Israel has no problem killing Palestinians and bulldozing homes for throwing rocks or shooting off rockets that do little to no damage, that seems a little sus.
Oh, and they may have bought oil from ISIS.
But it’s a GIANT leap to go from that to “ISIS works for Israel to attack Russia.” That’s tinfoil hat territory.
Translation:
“Why are most of the scandals of European politicians due to infidelity, whores or alcoholism and yet the scandals of politicians in Spain are always, always, always due to illegally lining their pockets with taxpayer money?”
That’s a valid question, but World News only allows links to news articles. If you can find an article dealing with the same question, it will be most welcome!

Esa es una pregunta válida, pero World News sólo permite enlaces a artículos de noticias. Si puede encontrar un artículo que trate la misma pregunta, ¡será bienvenido!
Remoto.
Pravda? Really? Surely if this were true, there’s a better source than literal Russian propaganda.

From the discussions with the admins, an IP ban sounds possible, but with a VPN they can just change their IP at will, so it’s less effective than you might think.
As far as content throttling, that I’m not sure of. Definitely not at the mod level.
You would think, right? Apparently not…
Oh, Congress never was going to do anything about Gaza, the Israel lobby is too strong.
