if we can set aside attachment discourse for a moment (please) i think the jedi marriage prohibition makes sense in a “please don’t enter a complex legal, financial, social, and in some cases religious contract, the specifics of which vary wildly depending on planet and culture” way. the single jedi with a law degree does not have time to draft everyone’s prenups to prevent the whole order from getting sued

sniffs you, makes a yucky face and then violently explodes

Even in a post-capitalist, post-consumerist world, you still need to produce goods, as a result of this, you need factories because it is more effective to have a few people making a lot of clothes in a factory than every woman being forced to sit down and spin wool all day.

The issue with factories is poor wages, unsafe working conditions and environmental impact, all of which can be fixed through things like regulatory bodies and unions, the issue is not the fact that goods are no longer all made at home

this is why it's so frustrating to see people pitch "make your own x at home!" as a response to poor working conditions in a factory. eliminating one person from the customer base does not fix the problem. "but if everyone would just-" they won't though, nor should they have to,

So Boston is straight up running out of beer because of all the Scottish tourists in for the World Cup

I love cultural exchange

I'm fascinated by people who are hung up on figuring out who the "real" king of this or that polity is mostly for the level of cognitive dissonance it demands. All the murder and incest and lateral inheritance and political horse-trading leading up to my favourite guy were perfectly legit, but from that point forward only direct inheritance from father to eldest son counts. Very cool – hey, quick question: how many popes am I holding up?

authorities are issuing a friday in place order

The whole "Elvis sighting" thing is hilarious because, like, the first documented career Elvis impersonators began working over twenty years before the guy even died. I wonder why a public figure who has a whole industry of people who look and sound like him would generate an unusual number of posthumous sightings? It Is A Mystery.
