I'm so excited to hear how Leftists cost Democrats another election

It has happened before.

It is happening now.

It will happen again.

Empire Strikes Back was a stellar movie thanks to the whole Cloud City arc. Rebels on the back foot, desperately looking for allies, and walking right into a trap. The liberal businessman Lando Calrisian attempting to triangulate between good and evil, only to become radicalized into sacrificing his little fiefdom for a Revolution. Luke showing up just in time to lose to his father.

I feel like they tried to recapture that moment in AotC. But between bad acting, sappy romance, and the need for these extended fight scenes, they never had time to key in on the drama of an empire in collapse.

The world wars were relatively brief as wars go. In and out. Four year adventure.

Compare that to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This feels more like we're setting up another 30 Years War.

Where did this take place?

You'll get paid in experience and enjoy all sorts of networking opportunities

I've never bought a magna before, but I just had to get started on DinD so I bought the first two Volumes from a local book store.

The Mimic scene was a meme that was running around a year or two back. Once I recognized the show from that, I was hooked.

We just finished watching ATLA for the dozenth time, this time with our kiddo, she liked it, but definitely over her head at this age.

Oh sure, but that's what's good. It hits on multiple levels.

Thanks Comrade!

Grab a big box of tissues and watch Grave of Fireflies. Hard pressed to name a piece of cinema that's made me a bigger anti-war guy.

For lighter stuff - Full Metal Alchemist (I'm partial to Brotherhood over the original, but they're both good). Avatar: the Last Airbender is Amerime and a bit young, but a genuinely great story. I've got a special place in my heart for "Scraped Princess" and "Escaflowne" as well.

Two of my favorite new anime, Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren, also great stuff. They're just not finished yet, so you can't binge them.

Does it say what threw the flag. I'm certainly not seeing anything in the history.
