I think Solo fell flat because they made all the interesting adventures you heard about in the OT happen in a single week. Solo isn't a daring adventurer with a long and storied history, he's a guy who had one exciting week. Also he's supposed to have been a liar when he said he made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, but Solo retconned it so he was telling the truth. Which means Solo's arc in Star Wars from scumbag to hero isn't as steep or dramatic.

Ah, no, I meant to say that feminism losing its implication of progress for all gender identities (if it had such an implication in the past), is evidenced by the fact that if someone says they're a feminist, that doesn't tell you whether they support equality for enbies.

Well this is a debate about prescriptivism vs descriptivism, right? I'm saying the complexities of the ways the word is used no longer make its meaning clear unless certain adjectives are applied. You're arguing we should stick to the "intended" meaning. But at what point does denying the evolution of language to become more transphobic deny the genuine harms suffered by trans people? Surely there's a point where that's the case, right? How do you know we haven't reached that point?

Wait wait wait so conservatives think that SNL is anti woke???

It's like in Shrek 2 when Shrek is the victim of an attempted assassination for being an ogre (which is an allegory for being queer), and instead of deciding to fight the system, he decides to assimilate by taking happily ever after potion.

At this point in time I tend to take terms like "intersectional feminist" to mean someone is probably an ally, but if someone just calls themself a feminist without any adjectives, that gives me absolutely zero information as to whether they're interested in gender equality for all gender identities. I know they support cis women, but I have no idea whether they support any kind of trans person.

Thanks. What's shield gate duration?

And overshields are only gained from abilities, not from regular recharge?

Socialism is not on the ballot, so you can't vote against socialism in the election. You can only vote against things that are on the ballot.

I don't understand overshields. What's up with them. They're not the same as overguard?
