What he intended and what he showed us are two different things. By the end of ROTJ, there were no more Sith and no real Jedi left. Luke called himself a Jedi, but didn't really follow the strict rules and didn't completely shun the dark side. He simply used it without anger. At that point, balance was truly restored.

Wanted to play some games, didn't have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.

Yes, I'm that old.

And that's exactly what happened. Jedi tried to eliminate the Sith, the balance was lost, the Sith created the Choose One to bring back balance to the force, a whole lot of death and destruction ensued, and balance was restored.

It is what it is

Means

This is fucked, but I can’t help

Right, which stops you from thinking of solutions and ends the discussion. But maybe it's doesn't have to be like that if you just talked it out a little more.

We had plastic cutting boards that covered the entire length of the counter that would become stained and dirty through the day despite being wiped down after almost every order. And since sanitization is vitally important at a restaurant, they needed to be cleaned somehow. The boards would be rinsed and wiped down every morning before use.

And if that doesn't do it, try the trick I learned for cleaning the cutting boards at Subway. Lay down paper towel over stain, pour straight bleach on the paper. Let it stand overnight. The paper keeps the bleach in place and it won't dry as fast. A little harsh, but it works.

Yeah, but then they moved all the factories to other countries. The public is now just a burden to them for wanting corporations to pay their fair share in taxes.

For Toronto, you have Metro Toronto which is the original city. The Greater Toronto Area includes all the cities that were amalgamated into Toronto in 1998, plus Mississauga and Brampton. It just denotes an area that's generally included with the major city when referring to the entire region.

This post is far from being the first relating to the experience of sexual abuse

Yeah, and? So what if it's not the first one. There's no limit on the number of posts about sexual assault that women are allowed to create.

This post is not that. It’s a ragebait utilizing an attack

No, it's women sharing stories about why they choose the bear. You call it ragebait simply because you put yourself in the group that isn't being picked by women.

In those circumstances, calling someone to listen and ignoring them telling you they see an attack in the way this is shaped is hypocritical at best.

Yes, it is, which is why I don't understand why you keep doing it. This is not an attack against you. You've been told that several times now.

As a wider point, I also say that we should listen not only to women (but to them too), but also to men,

Fine. Great. Let's listen to men. But a post about how women are choosing the bear and why is not the place to insist that we must listen to men.

If your priority is prevention rather than pure shows of hostility, you better be a listener for both, regardless of the direction of abuse.

Right. Which is why you should stop talking about being attacked and just listen.
