The Star Wars prequels are not and have never been good, not even in comparison to the sequel trilogy.

It's so loving baffling to me, as someone who lived through the release of the prequels and remembers my opinion of them changing from "haha star wars wheee fun pew pew laser swords" to "holy poo poo that movie was loving terrible" to see people who poo poo on the new films turn around and hold up the prequels as some beacon of storytelling and filmmaking and acting and director skill star wars was never good but it's never been quite as bad as it was with the prequels

If you want to get into olives (which I think you should because they're really nice!) I've known a few people who hated them try the ones I was eating at Nando's, which are mostly garlic, and after doing that a few times (like, separate occasions) they got into them. I think it's a perseverance thing, eventually after trying them a bunch you still hate them, but at some point you start getting a craving for something, and you can't put your finger on it, until you eventually realise it's actually olives that you're craving, even though you hate them? And then you eat one, and it's really satisfying, and then from then on they're just awesome. A bit like Negroni's. First Negroni is always "Oh god, can people actually drink this?" and then I offer another one a few hours later and they're like "Oh, go on, I'll try again, eugh". And then another couple of hours "Hey, can I have another Negroni please?"

Drunk Nerds posted:The notion that IPAs were invented to have a longer shelf life is a complete myth. In fact, an IPA loses most of its punch around 6 weeks, less if not refrigerated. I often wonder if the IPA hatred comes mostly from people who aren't checking the bottom of the cans to make sure their IPA was made recently, because a fresh IPA is a bursting bouquet of flavor. This is a joke right? Like, you're making a funny joke in which you don't know that IPA's were actually specifically created so olde timee traderse could carry brews on long voyages without them spoiling. Like a joke right?

Bust Rodd posted:I’d like to clarify that I’m not an ageist, I love my gram gram and my weed dealer is very old, and taking away agency from adults can be heartbreaking, but allowing some adults to continue to drive makes about as much sense as letting some kids learn how to drive, it’s just not something their brains can handle anymore, and considering the stakes are as high as “dead strangers and orphaned children” it seems irresponsible and ignorant. It's not even ageism, its sensibility. Its wild how many little old ladies I deal with in a day who are so weak they can barely walk, and need help carrying a 2L bottle to their car, then get behind the wheel of their 3-ton Lincoln SUV. Even if their reaction time is top notch, I really doubt they have the physical strength to engage in quick maneuvers to avoid an accident if needed. Expand public transit (especially those little buses that only grab elderly and people with disabilities) and make it really hard to keep your divers license. Also drunk drivers get away with far too much, often it takes repeat offenses before a person faces real repercussions. If you blow over (or test positive for drugs) you should have your license immediately revoked for a minimum of five years.

Exactly three star wars movies are good (episodes 4, 5, and solo). Grown adults who claim to be star wars fans are the same as grown adults who only eat chicken nuggets. Your palate is childish, just in the form of movies instead of food.

The lovely thing about taking senior's licenses away, at least in the US, is that we don't exactly have public transit coverage outside of cities and even in cities it can be really spotty and our infrastructure is built around having a car. As much as I think they should stay off the roads, too.

People liking the star wars prequels isn't some part of hidden drug radiowave psy-op corporate brainwashing to convince people those movies are good, the kids who first watched them when they were like 8 years old are just old enough to post excessively about it on the internet now.
