People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.

World War III isn’t a romanticized repeat of World War II in Star Trek, though. It is an extremely destructive war that just about destroys most major national governments. There isn’t a winner with a peace treaty; all sides collapse.

The value isn’t as important and is more misleading.

You can create your own instance and give yourself as much karma as you want.

There are no internal Lemmy structures to prevent mass upvoting or downvoting.

Culture and voting rules across Lemmy are different and without a centralized authority.

Since the number is useless, it is made unavailable.

“Honey, I’m flattered, but I don’t have the same feelings for you. Even if I did, it would be inappropriate for us to have a relationship. I hope you find someone else closer to your age.”

I find it depends on how they get compensated.

The Last Jedi was a good movie, it just wasn’t a good Star Wars movie.

Only because Lemmy is small enough to not need it.

It isn’t the worst, but I would evaluate why you need to retake two classes and how it might your life going forward.

Not really. The creation of a lot of early monarchies were based on the military taking control of an area, then distributing portions of the area to key military members as a way to buy loyalty.

In contrast, fascism usually requires a corruption of a democracy and has different reasons for forming.

The reason I’ve seen is that Lucas’s flaws were on display in the prequels since he had the kind of power to make decisions with little pushback, while production of the original trilogy shows that Lucas worked best with people around him to help refiine his vision.

Outside of Ian McDiarmid and Ewan McGregor, the acting is bland and sterile. Hayden Christensen had a far better idea that would lead to the fall of Skywalker without changing much of the films. Major sequences are far busier than anything which came before, making the sequences pretty but less resonant and hard to follow. The four separate storylines in the climax of I was too much, especially as most people were there for the best lightsaber duel ever. The camera work for talking scenes is shockingly basic for someone as talented as Lucas was with film.

I like the prequels well enough, but I can see why some don’t like them.

The prequels are bad because it highlights Lucas’s failures as a director and dialogue writer.

The prequels are memorable because they highlight Lucas’s talents as a producer and whatever equivalent to show runner that movie franchises have.

They would be if they were good.

Disney should have known to create an overall writer/producer for the sequels; they had done it Marvel and the thing that set Star Wars above other sci-fi was Lucas creating a deep universe for the stories to exist in.

Abrams was a shitty choice to control writing of VII; he basically made a Star Wars fan film and reset a lot of VI to keep the same kind of conflict as the original series. Johnson had some interesting ideas, but he broke a lot of previous world building for VIII, like the Resistance militia leaders keeping their plan a secret and the kamekaze ship. Then, somehow, Abrams returned.

It says something that, while the prequels aren’t seen as good as the original series, they still resonate in a way that the sequels haven’t. A lot of that can be attributed to why Lucas was a great producer.

One thing that will help is separating between if a policy is effective in achieving a political goal and if achieving the political goal over other political goals is effective.

Rely on recipes that don’t have a “to taste” option. I expect a lot of what you’ll cook will need to be simple.

That’s a very generic name.

A lot of elementary school teachers don’t go into teaching to teach math.

Moving out days are a great way to get cheap furniture. Troll apartment buildings at the end of the month and you can usually find some furniture getting thrown out. I still have some dumpster pieces that are in good condition.

I assume you are looking for passive methods that aren’t air conditioning.

As others have said, thick walls that have a thermal mass. It helps if you open the building at night to help cool the walls.

The structure should be as light as possible, both the walls and roof, to reflect back light.

Windows should have large awnings so direct light doesn’t enter during summer. Everything should be in the shade.

If you can, you can create a solar chimney by having a large and dark chimney on the south side of your building. Set your building up so that there is a natural air intake which comes from below ground, so you naturally pull in cool air.
