Indeed....I have several friends in military security who have been helping out a lot...they keep me updated on everything new....

It’s pretty amazing what you can do now.

I played around with an OS recently that pretty much opens up all encrypted traffic on public networks....

There is something you should never use...public WiFi.....it’s a damn playground.

It’s kinda like using a scanner in the old days.

I just wanted to share one more piece of advise to you.

That post of mine you called inspiring can actually be viewed as 100% weakness on my part that needs to be eliminated just following history and you will see people who thought like me were removed from the equation rather quickly lol

So yeah hold steady and follow your convictions don’t give up.

Public WiFi hell no you’re right about that!
 
It’s all good Spazz I appreciate the explanation but you really don’t owe me one.

Just be yourself and have fun that’s what I do although i’m also very mischievous and play pranks and try to trick or manipulate people into thinking i’m for or against something just for the lulz.

But anyways as long as you’re not a Nazi in disguise then we’re good.

I hate Nazi.

Why we had D-Day then allowed them to establish a life here is the biggest mystery in the universe.

If they were bad enough for the allies to lay down their lives to hunt down and KILL in WW2 why are they NOT bad enough to hunt down and round up NOW that just makes no sense to me.

What are they nice Nazis now what newer qualities do they have that gives them protection now but not then.

They shouldn’t be protected by the constitution is what i’m saying.

Can ISIS plant a flag here in the US?

No they can’t they would be rounded up immediately and rightfully so.

So why can the freaking Nazis plant their flag here on US soil what a freaking insult to all of the allied soldiers that died saving the world from their kind I just don’t get it.

Is it because they’re white and christian so they’re ok to coexist what is it someone please tell me.

Ughhhh forget it sorry i’m done lol

Sometimes being too smart is paralyzing to the soul.

:lol No man, I'm not a Nazi. My grandfather killed Nazis. Lots of them. He was my hero.

I think part of the reason why this conversation needs to be had, is because people assume that if you're critical of identity politics and Post Modernism, you must be right wing. Meanwhile, if you were to ask knowledgeable leftists who the most quotable, popular and renound leftist intellectual is, they'd almost unanimously say Noam Chomsky. He has a Nobel Prize for linguistics, he's a left wing anarchist, and has been lecturing to large audiences, critical of US foreign policy for decades since the 1950's.

What does Noam Chomsky, the left wing hero have to say about Post Modernism?

Whew!

Oh and bad ass hats off to your grandfather.

You’re so lucky all my grandfather did was hit me with a belt while speaking like shakespeare lol

What were my parents thinking using him as a babysitter!
 
I wasn't a post modernist, in that I didn't adhere to an ideology of post modernism. What it did was open my eyes to a different way of looking at things. It was a starting point from which to view texts. You put all the possibilities, the "subjective truths", to the test. Not with the aim that they remain as acceptable possibilites, but that they are dismissed until you're left with that thing that you can assign to be true.

That's the process of researching history. But, unlike science, you will not always be able to finally arrive at that single truth. You're left with possibilities, and the decision to choose the best possible truth.

As Yoda tells Luke in Empire Strikes Back, "Always in motion is the future."


Well, his future is our past.

What test? Post Modernism doesn't have criteria for what constitutes coherence. That's the problem. They make claims about epistemology without having one. You can't just make statements in a vacuum, and be persuasive.

You were abused and neglected. That sucks, man. I'm glad you're better than them.
 
I don't think you realize the kind of expectations they have for a movie like this. The question never was will it make bank at the box office. But TFA made close to 2.1 billion.
If the following trilogy movie ends up making only 300-400 million more than RO, it will be seen as a semi-failure, and a message to Lucasfilm that they need to adjust course for IX. And it's not just that but also how well the merch sells (answer: kinda poorly). Not to mention the amplitude of the negative fan reactions, which is something that didn't happen neither with TFA or RO.

Nope...I don't think YOU realize. 400 million more than R1 would have it making the same domestic gross as TFA...if you want to talk about expectations...no one that works at Disney, LFL, or knows anything about the movie industry for that matter expected the THIRD Star Wars movie released in as many years to make as much money as the 32 years in the making sequel to Return of the Jedi...you have to at least know that much...
 
But a happy one who has girls hitting on him. :yess:



Intentional or not you just single handily saved Luke from this wave of milking complaints.

You have just invalidated every single milking meme.

You have just eradicated every milking complaint from the movie.

If I were you I would hide because your group will not take your actions so lightly.

Wor-Gar will not be pleased with you.

But thanks for saving TLJ Luke. :hi5:

crows also deserves recognition for putting you on that path.

Khev did you hear, Clown just saved Luke Skywalker!

TLJ Luke needed no saving but Clown did good nonetheless and there's hope for him yet. :)

Consider this jye:

One of my favorite aspects of TLJ was how Luke not only fulfilled but transcended the teachings of Yoda going all the way back to ESB.

Once again his sister was in danger but look how he handled it this time. When Leia needed him in ESB Yoda said "Luke do not go." In TLJ he never left the island. In ESB Yoda lectured him about being a luminous being. In TLJ he left his "crude matter" behind. In ESB Yoda said that he would not need his weapons and that a Jedi uses his powers for knowledge and defense, never attack. In TLJ he did not face Kylo Ren with a real lightsaber and did not fight to kill him, only to defend and allow the Resistance to escape.

He perfectly fulfilled the core of Yoda's teachings while finally surpassing not only both of his own teachers but all other Force users who have ever appeared on film. If Luke was capable of manifesting himself as an astral projection that could interact with his environment then I can't really imagine there being anything that he couldn't accomplish. He achieved the pinnacle of Jedi abilities and I understand the dramatic need for that to coincide with his death because otherwise he would have been unstoppable and inescapable. But what a send-off and with the entire First Order watching no less.
