The Fandom Menace

Lubeorama!

Better a centrist than an extremist of either stripe. The world is not black and white.

Opt-out "features" keep coming out on everything. I have to comb through settings on every new app/device to reclaim as much privacy and control as they will allow me to. Everything keeps becoming more "user friendly" at the expense of user control. Its becoming near impossible to buy basic electronics that don't come with a useless computer attached that will inevitability fail and brick your appliance.

It's also spreading places it shouldn't be. new Cars that have subscription services for basic use. Kitchen appliances that need to be hooked up via Bluetooth to work... And NONE of it can be repaired. Nobody is allowed to fix their own electronics. You have to send it back to the manufacturer, just so you can get a "refurbished" device. We are living in a time of Planned Obsolescence and we are really fucking tired of it.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Or an Obi-Wan, when talking about the Sith.

Roll call

Many think Palpatine would have won either way, but Mace had his measure. It took Anakin’s intervention to tip the balance, hence the tragedy.
