I took an into to CS class (basically just Turbo Pascal [yes I am old]) being taught for the first time by a math prof. The only things he could come up for us to program were complex, advanced math problems. We couldn't understand the problems, let alone figure out how to program a solution. So many people failed that class...

I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity. You can too!

Once upon a time, I made a lifelong friend because for the longest time they were the only other person I knew who had seen the weird cut with the automated pulse rifles scene. No one else would believe us that it existed for years. I guess until the interwebs.

I would argue that Luke was never just told he was a master and that was that. He left his training with Yoda early, against advisement, and lost a hand as a result of not being ready. His swagger in Return of the Jedi was largely an act, by his own admission, and had his father not turned, Luke would have been made a stain by Palpatine. As the new films progressed, it was clear he was still full of doubt, hence the failure with Kylo. Maybe he finally felt and acted like a master after his self imposed exile, meeting Rey and coming to terms with what he had to do. However the way he went about it was informed by a lifetime of loss and failure. This made him seek a path that was different than those that went before him, who cocked it all up with their overconfidence and willingness to throw their weight around.

Not in the good old US of A. At-will employment is the norm, so unless it is very clear that she was fired for her race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, not much she can do.

Why the fuck do they need to raid any house for a fucking weed eater!? That is serious small time shit.

Step one: don't fucking ask us. You wanna be punk, go do shit and remember not to give a fuck what the people around you think. No plan you make will survive first contact with the dirt.

If you are gonna let your cat mess with it, I would go with a food safe style finish you would use on cutting boards or the like. Might have to reapply occasionally, but better than running the risk of the cat chipping off and ingesting a more permanent type of finish.

I think for a lot of people part of the fantasy is getting to be someone else.
