I'm sure that's at least partly true, except I also thought Rogue One was pretty good.
If you're going to be on my lawn would you mind grabbing the lawnmower? It shouldn't take more than half an hour.
I didn't even look at the study.
I didn't hate The Last Jedi because of women, or liberals, or racial minorities, but because, despite costing many, many millions of dollars to make, it was just cheap and shoddy.
It killed one of the great memories of my childhood, but I suppose that's just part of life.
I'll get over it.
See I would argue that TLJ had a whole bunch of climaxes, and the final climactic scene was both stolen wholesale from The Empire Strikes Back and also made absolutely no sense at all.
After nearly 20 years of disappointment I will no longer be partaking in Star Wars, even though that makes me sad I have had enough.
I have also seen both, and the Last Jedi will be the last Star Wars movie I ever pay to see, it was that bad.
12 year old me in 1977, coming out of the theatre after seeing Star Wars would be shocked to hear it, but the whole thing just has no value any more.
I was shocked at how poor the Last Jedi was, from the lazy, poorly structured plot, to the way it lifted entire scenes from the earlier movies, even using the same scene three times.
Terrible.
Thanks for that. I was not aware of those extra details you provided.
However, as an NZ citizen also, any time I return from overseas if a customs agent asks for my phone unlock I will be telling him no and contesting the $5,000 fine in court.
I know it's a long way from an ECG, but my smart watch can take my heart rate, and seems to be accurate.
When I go to give blood, the nurse insists on checking my heart rate herself though.
I can't see many doctors accepting the results from a watch, even if it is approved. Doctors tend to be conservative about these sorts of things.
You've managed to fit almost every one of the Koch brother's propaganda into one post, well done.
Just needed to blame Al Gore for something and you would have had a full house.
I agree with you.
As I worked in the pre-press industry at the time, and it was all Mac all the time my friends all thought Myst was the most amaaaazing game of all time.
I was the only person I knew that owned a PC, and frankly thought Myst was a bit meh really.
You're worrying about the wrong thing.
The real problem will be the giant mosquitos they will wind up breeding that will murder everyone. I saw it in this documentary.
Exactly. The company I work for is not a tech company, and you have definitely heard of it.
Last year our CEO used exactly that pitch to the shareholders of our biggest competitor.
"If we buy you out, just think how much we will be able to jack our prices up!"
That's not exactly what he said, but that's what he meant, and everybody knew it.
Thanks A/C, for completely misunderstanding why we trade with China.
Here's a tip. The people who run your country (and mine) couldn't give a fat rat's ass if the Chinese government kills kittens in its spare time.
It's not just the Chinese making money.
No, things have changed and record company executives are no longer the sole arbiters of who gets on the charts anymore.
The musicians are still irrelevant, as always.

It also sounds a lot like that KDE phone thing that I've never quite found a use case for.

What an idiot.
These are the same "scientists" who tell us global warming is real and that evolution is a "fact". And then they wonder why no one beleves them.
It's not "no-one". It's just the credulous morons at your Church.
Also, learn to spell.
I agree with you.

It sounds foolish but the evidence to this is more vetted than any historical fact and more attested to than any act in history.
You're right.
It does sound foolish. It also sounds like bullshit.

Again. Wow.
Wow.
If you force everyone to pay $300/mo on healthcare insurance...
Just out of interest, is that considered cheap health insurance in the US?
I would imagine Joce640k does not live in the US. Some of us enjoy the benefits of a competitive ISP market.
Success in the industry is how much money you make for your record label.
This is correct, which is why pop music is now dominated by music Simon Cowell likes (or at least music that sounds like music Simon Cowell likes).
...the metric is gameable...
which is the way it has always been, but now the record companies are not the only ones who can game the system.
No, things have changed and record company executives are no longer the sole arbiters of who gets on the charts anymore.

I know a lot more millennials these days that starve themselves to be like the Kardashian girls
Just like my sisters did in the 1970's. It's not exactly a new phenomenon.
Also, there used to be roughly 2 gender choices and sexual orientations. Now there are about 70 or something
No there are not, no matter how much "conservatives" want it to be true, no-one really thinks like that, except trolls on the Internet.
Also, no-one cares.
Is it any surprise they don't want to talk to each other? They're all awful. I wouldn't talk to a teen either if I could help it.
