Pretty sure the army wouldn’t approve of you wearing your dress uniform over a fursuit either…

Of course, if it doesn't happen, that's simply more proof that we're actually living in the mirror universe (AKA 'the worst timeline')
I mean Star Trek is not much better
What was it like before Disco came out? I know not everyone loved Enterprise, but was there always such a degree of animosity? I always thought Trekkies were generally pretty chill, especially compared to some of the assholes in the Star Wars fandom...
A few quotes from the article, for anyone looking at the headline asking "what does that mean?"
China had called the poll a choice between war and peace. Beijing strongly opposes [Ruling-party candidate] Lai
While domestic issues such as the sluggish economy and expensive housing also featured prominently in the campaign, Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party’s appeal to self-determination, social justice and rejection of China’s threats ultimately won out. It’s the first time a single party has led Taiwan for three consecutive four-year presidential terms since the first open presidential election in 1996.
Lai and incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen reject China’s sovereignty claims over Taiwan, a former Japanese colony that split from the Chinese mainland amid civil war in 1949. They have, however, offered to speak with Beijing, which has repeatedly refused to hold talks and called them separatists.
Multiple counts, since they're risking not just their own child, but all other people their germ machine came into contact with...
just a bit less than rigorous in terms of mythological accuracy and internal consistency.
That's a feature not a bug - the original greek myths were not exactly internally consistent either.
Andor introduced by killing a dude in cold blood? That was Gilroy. Andor being conflicted and unable to take the shot on a legitimate military target? That was Edwards.
So you have this mish-mash of conflicting story beats,
Or... character development. He's grown up in the Rebellion, he's OK with killing people in cold blood if he has to as long as he can justify it as hurting the Empire. Then he meets Jyn and Chirrut and Baze and he is forced to question his whole philosophy. He's been ordered to kill Galen Erso, but only unofficially, after being told to bring him in alive. He's gotten to know Jyn and knows what killing her father will do to her. He's starting to see him as a person instead of just another Imperial target. So he hesitates.
God, in my opinion Rogue One is arguably the best Star Wars film, and if not, it's a close second behind Empire.
And Andor just expands on the fact that it's a whole galaxy of potential stories, it doesn't just have to be about lightsabers and space wizards called Skywalker.
Yes, there seems to have been some behind the scenes decisions taken, and the whole film gave me a slightly different vibe to the original trailer. Would I love to see Gareth Edwards's original cut of the film? Hell yes. Do I think Disney is taking the franchise in the Marvel "let's make safe and less interesting popcorn entertainment rather than push the envelope and see what we can do with this universe" direction? Also yes.
How can anyone put their name to that and still look themselves in the mirror in the morning? Jesus christ, that's ghoulish.
And then finishing it off with Uhuru fangirling over Hoshi Sato. Loved it!
But if it’s true, then we only have a 25% margin on food (10/8), and to my engineering mind that’s not enough. We gotta pump those numbers up.
Or, and I'm just spitballing here, we should make sure everyone gets enough food first, then work on increasing production. What's the point in getting to a 50% or even a 100% margin on excess food production if people are still starving to death because we can't get it to them?
I mean, anyone that agrees with statements like “poisoning the blood” will assume every brown person is an illegal immigrant (with very very few exceptions who will be described as ‘one of the good ones’).
Because they’re a racist shithead.
