  • And yes, I know the solution would be “cook at home!” But that also wastes a lot of freshwater from dish washing

    I don’t think this is a good point. Just by living you’re going to be using resources of some kind, it’s simply unavoidable. I would worry less about trying to consume zero resources and more about particularly harmful things, like single-use plastics. Especially since fresh water is not an issue in some places, like where I am.

    Honestly, if you’re going to a table service restaurant, it might be even better than eating at home. You’re not going to get much plastic waste from single use items like you would with fast food, and because of the scale of the operation I could believe that restaurants are creating less waste per meal than individuals cooking at home. Think of a case of chicken breast versus individually packaged ones and the amount of plastic each uses, for example.





  • I agree that a lot of the dialogue is bad. I don’t think this is a good example though. Quite the opposite, it’s a great scene. Anakin apologizes sincerely, effectively conveys his emotions and why he’s feeling the way he is, then both men tell each other how much they value their friendship. It’s some great emotional maturity and honesty.

    I think we could use more dialogue like this in movies and the real world, maybe we don’t have enough of it and that’s why it comes off as “cringey” to some.



  • Their last interaction before Anakin’s fall:

    ANAKIN: Master, I’ve disappointed you. I have not been very appreciative of your training . . . I have been arrogant and I apologize . . . I’ve just been so frustrated with the Council. Your friendship means everything to me.

    OBI-WAN: You are strong and wise, Anakin, and I am very proud of you. I have trained you since you were a small boy. I have taught you everything I know. And you have become a far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be, and you have saved my life more times than I can remember. But be patient, Anakin. It won’t be long before the Council makes you a Jedi Master.

    OBI-WAN starts down the ramp, then turns back.

    OBI-WAN: (continuing) Don’t worry. I have enough clones with me to take three systems the size of Utapau. I think I’ll be able to handle the situation . . . even without your help.

    ANAKIN: Well, there’s always a first time.

    OBI-WAN laughs.

    They talk for a few more minutes before ANAKIN watches OBI-WAN depart.

    ANAKIN: Obi-Wan, may the Force be with you.

    OBI-WAN: Good-bye, old friend. May the Force be with you.

    Really great video game channel with unique content. He played all the same games I did growing up so it’s really nostalgic for me as well.

    The “unremarkable and odd places” series makes me feel some kinda way. And check out the huge back catalogue of his glitch show Eggbusters.
