Rhaedas

My canon belief is that Leia had a sense there was a connection to Luke (that she references to “always knowing”, which can mean a lot more than just about Luke) after she heard his calling out to her from Cloud CIty. This would be long after both kisses, and both of them were pretty innocent within context anyway.

As for Anakin, he was the most powerful at that point. We see this by the measurements (yeah, I hate that Lucas defined what was meant to be mystical), we see this by the later results in him matching up with other more experienced Jedi, and we see him as a severely crippled Vader who is still devastating to anyone. Anakin weakness wasn’t his abilities, but his lack of patience and control, thanks to maybe his age if Yoda was right, but the lack of the Council aiding what training could be done, and also fueling his fears and anger later.

Luke could be more powerful. We never see his peak level except in cases like in The Mandalorian. That Luke is Anakin-level but with control of his actions.

It’s billions all the way down. Untouchable and unusable for us commons.

Are you talking about the billions in military spending unaccounted for that were starting to make news a few days before, and no one heard about after? Or a different billions? Either one could be a right answer.

False. The Bush Admin wasn’t competent enough to plan a self-attack. They just managed to jump on a crisis (caused by their own ineptness) and use it to their benefit. And everyone went along with it for fear of being called a traitor.

Doesn’t change the point. This Admin is far dumber and more evil because of what they’ve been doing, and the latest is just more of that.

Wow, a whole 0.02%? Better buy now at the low point.

The plants will die long before that. Is there a plant abuse hotline?

FWIW, using a shell function is preferred (according to Bash docs) and probably a lot more flexible, and less dangerous. No, actually, anything in Linux can be dangerous.

And while I’m also in the camp of trying to make the Basilisk happy, I doubt it’s going to work.

Shouldn’t be question marks, should be something like <18. Or maybe a smaller number.

That is an issue, one that is being discussed and can be turned off currently. Meanwhile Microsoft is head deep in AI so much they’re renaming known trademarks into their AI brand. So… I don’t think Mozilla is the bigger problem.

What’s going on?

Urine is already diluted by water, so you’re most of the way there.

Words are fun. A related word would be lieutenant. There was some scifi detective series about a time traveler who came from the Revolutionary period into modern times and helped a woman cop. Mid 2000s? Anyway, they tried to be somewhat accurate and used the word as it’s pronounced for centuries before being Americanized, “leftenent”. And in looking it up, the history and arguments over when and why are themselves interesting.

So, canon.

Realistic C-64 users: “It’s a misspelling in an early Commodore document that just carried over.”

Rabid C-64 users: “It’s not a word, it’s an ACRONYM!”

Me: I didn’t even realize it was wrong or knew it was a thing, then or now. TIL I think I saw “kernel” in my mind.

So this should be posted on a subLemmy? Reddit has a large history of terminology. People have adjusted to saying communities fine.

I was using the “room” concept on Q-Link (Quantum Link) 40 years ago. You know, when we had to connect on slow lines. Uphill, both ways.

I guess it’s consent. The master/deity or their aide comes to the servant and tells them of master’s will, the great plan. The servant says, yeah, okay.

Yet another fail in writing. Why not make it so God and Gabriel give her the choice, and she adamantly agrees? Remove all doubt from the story’s plot. Or better yet, add some drama, have Mary unsure, and Gabriel explains the importance (not that it’s already planned, but why her choice is key to the direction of salvation and all that). And she with some thought decides to do it.

Oh, right… that would give a woman some agency. Never mind.

No, just debating which set of rules we’re playing by.

Yes. it can absolutely be spun that way, as I said. As most anything in the Bible can be. Let me ask this then. Could she have said no? And when would that have happened?

There wasn’t consent though. It can be spun that way, but biblically Mary was destined to carry, and screw any free will.

It’s a weak loss.
