Nah, Dooku is committed to the Sith by then. No way is he going to accept a life of peaceful contemplation.

Okay but what about Dooku? Do we have a situation where the Jedi sit the war out but the Separatists are still led by a Sith?

Is that all full-contact combat sports, eg boxing, or specifically the UFC?

Yes, but her husband is still incapable of using first-person pronouns.

You think Boss Nash cares about the Ghor? No chance. Amidala did right by the Gungans, and Palpatine was Amidala's mentor, so the Gungans stand by Palpatine.

Can't be a plot point on Andor because it prominently involves aliens.

You honour, exhibit C ^^

It makes sense that Naboos prosperity could come with Gungan oppression. Or the Gungans could be prominent nonhuman Imperial supporters. Either way works.

Horus tricks Magnus into panicking and sending his father a message, whose reciept inadvertently exposes the Emperor's good health.

outstanding.

You forgot to include a link to the track! Here's one:

Weasley and Alexander beat the command crew in a wargame, then lock them in the Holodeck...

Yes, like a cartoon.

Didn't they say the opposite, that the top of the class goes into logistics so they can jump into the private sector?

Killing Newt may have been a mistake, the film could have been helped by another sympathetic PoV running around.

The later part of the film is a bit weaker. The Alien just had so little interest in actively hunting the remaining survivors.

I hadn't seen any other cut of Alien 3, so I can't compare. I know there is an Alien 4, not sure how. I know that Joss Whedon was very enthusiastic about the limited nature of his involvement.

If Paul McGann had been playing the Doctor, he'd have had whatever pheromone was protecting Ripley synthesised and sprayed on everyone. But instead he played a lunatic, and this alien conveniently doesn't attack lunatics.

Doesn't coccoon the egg-bearers any more either.

Surprisingly sympathetic to the fundamentalist cult, I've never seen fundamentalists treated so kindly in horror. I guess they're the only people who hate science as much as the Alien franchise.

I just watched the Alien 3 Legacy Cut. A good film, not excellent. The character drama is great atmosphere, but doesn't have much substance. Atmosphere is hard to get right in space, but it's what holds the film up.

Oh, they're doing short reads?

And it should be loving, gentle, woman-respecting eroticism.

There's evidence Smith has radicalised, but Smith has always believed some wacky stuff: his China cycle. Impossible to know where this came from.

I ended up on swifty TikTok and the comments are absolutely killing me. "9th grade slam poetry", [a photo of boiled chicken], "album for cop wives", "If Taylor wrote this that's bad, if ChatGPT wrote this that's worse, and if Travis wrote this I'm actually kind of proud of him".

One must not imagine that the Teens ever became inured to their suffering. No, for they hate posers, and know themselves to be posers, and thus pose ever more desperately.

I don't think it's their intention to defend the internality of AI, I just think they're accidentally implying it. My point is that the consent principle exists to protect human dignity, and they've lost sight of that with these complaints.

He's including Stalin's communist networks in that as well, right?

There's an implied principle in this that AI-generated images have a deeper internal existence than drawings, and that's wrong. The inability of an AI-generated image to consent has the same ethical implications as the inability of a cartoon to consent.

But the reason for the principle of autonomy is to prevent violations of human diginity.

If a man decides to stay in and have a wank rather than ask a woman to have sex with him, is that a sign that he's disrespecting the autonomy of real women? Of course not! The same with actresses.

Sometimes AI discussion online seems like a battle between people who think LLMs have the capabilities but not rights of humans, and people who think LLMs have human rights but not capabilities.

If we're worrying about whether a drawing of a nonexistent woman can consent to sexual treatment then we've lost sight of the purpose of the consent principle.
