The dark side isn't evil, it just draws Force from emotions. The Sith decided the strongest emotions are the grief and anger you get from the Sith training, so it seems evil. Other grey force users have drawn force from within using other emotions and were powerful, too.Probably a little too relativist for most trufans in a "From My Point of View, the Jedi are evil" kinda way but still. Like I'm sure if you think deeply enough about it may or may not hold up - that Dark side Force isn't intrinsically evil, but more likely to be amplifier of hot emotions.
The light side is not "good" either, it just draws force externally. Perfectly possible to be evil, it just helps to meditate a lot and be very calm and neutral, which means most light side users are very controlled and reasonable.
All the light and dark talk is just propaganda and distraction by Jedi, the dominant force users, to make everyone think they're inherently good.
(Tbh I bailed about half way through, my walljump mojo was weak, so I sought out a longplay to see the rest)
Funny rant domain: Just f***ing use HTML. (Is it weird that I'm "censoring" cussing?)
(Not to nerdily miss the point, but I think the PHP/JSON-on-Filesystem//HTML5/CSS/Vanilla JS stack is the logical extension of that when you actually do need to get a little data onto or off of the server. Buildless, evergreen, runs for years, avoids package dependency hell...)
It reminds me of The iPhone is a piece of s***, and so is your face, extolling the virtues of the clever foldy keyboard Nokia E70 over the then new iPhone. Obviously iPhone-ish slabphones won - but it took iPhone a while to catch up to that -- recording video, an app store, even copy and paste weren't there at first...
(I suspect that second rant page - a "cgi" page still surviving like almost two decades now - has the same "technology should just work for years" attitude of the first rant.)
There was a loud boom heard all over Boston Metro area at about 2:11
Some point out it South Carolina had something similar Thursday.
This xitter points to maybe a meteorite...
[Ready Player One's] Wade Watts is my number one [teen obviously written by an adult] because he is not merely an adult's idea of a teenager. He is an adult nerd's fantasy of being worshipped by future teenagers. Wade becomes special because he loves the correct old games, old movies, old music and old references left behind by a dead billionaire whose nostalgia has eaten the entire world.That really gets into a lot of why I disliked the book (and to a lesser extent the movie, though the spectacle was kind of fun) so much.
Of course teenagers can love older culture. They do it all the time. The difference is that Wade never feels like a young person finding his own meaning in old things. He feels like a reassuring message to grown-up fans: do not worry, kids of the future will still care about your stuff most. They will build civilization around it. They will win by knowing it better than everyone else.
