you have to have a very high IQ to understand the star wars sequels. The subtext is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the extended universe most of the references will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Luke's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Kilji Illumine literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this allegory, to realise that they're not just worldbuilding- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the sequels truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rey's famous line "Somehow palpatine returned" which itself is a cryptic reference to how palpatine's force spirit possessed the clones of himself he had prepared in advance. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as J. J. Abrams's genius wit unfolds itself on the cinema screens. What fools.. how I pity them
We are sunsetting Google House in accordance with our wider goal of shutting down everything. You will be evicted on march 2nd, 2024 and all buildings will be demolished between march 31 and june 1st. Thank you for being with us for this project!
Why god?
We launched Google House 7 years ago as an attempt to make shareholders think we are still capable of doing something useful. As we focus on making new short-lived products to perpetuate this lie, we no longer have the resources to maintain our rent collection system.
What will you do with the land?
We didn't think this far but the current plan is to leave them as gravel sanctuaries.
the text on paper is pretty important. Before the new tech you'd still need to have decent photoshop skills to make it work (or pay someone to do it for you)
.. and come to think of it, with photoshop you could just find a real picture of some random person holding paper and change the text
I don't think "learning" is a word reserved only for high-minded creativeness. Just rote memorization and repetition is sometimes called learning. And there are many intermediate states between them.
If you look at the usa, less than 0.5% of children die between the ages of 6 and 18. The least likely age for you to die is 8-9 years old, and from about 12 and up the death chance increases pretty rapidly. A 30 year old is already about twice as likely to die as a 19 year old..
so for most people this won't apply. If you survived abusive or negligent parents though, maybe it's different
