Only because Lemmy is small enough to not need it.

It isn’t the worst, but I would evaluate why you need to retake two classes and how it might your life going forward.

Not really. The creation of a lot of early monarchies were based on the military taking control of an area, then distributing portions of the area to key military members as a way to buy loyalty.

In contrast, fascism usually requires a corruption of a democracy and has different reasons for forming.

What happens if the power goes out now? We’re already going to be in a very degraded living situation with battery backups providing a minimum amount of connectivity.

The reason I’ve seen is that Lucas’s flaws were on display in the prequels since he had the kind of power to make decisions with little pushback, while production of the original trilogy shows that Lucas worked best with people around him to help refiine his vision.

Outside of Ian McDiarmid and Ewan McGregor, the acting is bland and sterile. Hayden Christensen had a far better idea that would lead to the fall of Skywalker without changing much of the films. Major sequences are far busier than anything which came before, making the sequences pretty but less resonant and hard to follow. The four separate storylines in the climax of I was too much, especially as most people were there for the best lightsaber duel ever. The camera work for talking scenes is shockingly basic for someone as talented as Lucas was with film.

I like the prequels well enough, but I can see why some don’t like them.

The prequels are bad because it highlights Lucas’s failures as a director and dialogue writer.

The prequels are memorable because they highlight Lucas’s talents as a producer and whatever equivalent to show runner that movie franchises have.

They would be if they were good.

Disney should have known to create an overall writer/producer for the sequels; they had done it Marvel and the thing that set Star Wars above other sci-fi was Lucas creating a deep universe for the stories to exist in.

Abrams was a shitty choice to control writing of VII; he basically made a Star Wars fan film and reset a lot of VI to keep the same kind of conflict as the original series. Johnson had some interesting ideas, but he broke a lot of previous world building for VIII, like the Resistance militia leaders keeping their plan a secret and the kamekaze ship. Then, somehow, Abrams returned.

It says something that, while the prequels aren’t seen as good as the original series, they still resonate in a way that the sequels haven’t. A lot of that can be attributed to why Lucas was a great producer.

It is a game based on playing with others to the point where you are supposed to create organizational structures to play the full content of the game.

To use WoW as an example shows that this is just a pricing issue instead of a supply issue for them.

The problem is that Rockstar is trying to make a new engine with modern graphics, when the industry has been moving away from the cutting edge because of costs.

Part of it depends why I’m leaving. Do I care about the people I’m leaving? If not, why spend the energy interacting with them?

I feel like WoW is a bad example because the game’s business model is the subscription. It is being sold as a service which Blizzard actively manages. I’d accept the argument for the Diablo series, since Diablo is designed for single player and small servers.

But as a counterargument, why aren’t more games open source? What is it about gaming where open source gaming is so small compared closed source, while it isn’t like that with other forms of software?

Given that domesticated animals adopted some human baby like actions, it is a plausible theory.

It was Andromeda, a TV show.

My post isn’t bait. We’ve gone through the process with HR and then found that the applicant may not have work authorization.

Yeah, but I’m trying to keep this interaction from being a red flag.

I’m not going to report them to ICE, but I’m trying to address all the issues of going non-responsive.

We already expressed going forward with the candidate.

US. We’ve tried to get the applicant to fill out an I-9, which failed.

I’m looking to try to unwind this with as little blowback to the applicant as possible.
