    ITT: people pretending others “cheese” some unfair advantages by having kids when having kids is almost always a net negative in terms of time, money, career opportunities and so much more.

    People who choose not to have kids do so for a reason, don’t pretend these factors don’t exist for parents. As a society we need a next generation, how would you ever retire otherwise? Because of this we should support parents, not envy them for whatever small benefits they get to slightly offset all the disadvantages and are often absolutely necessary to allow them to raise kids.








  • To be fair, you could easily say that Boba piggybacked on the escape on an ancient Sith and come up with numerous reasons why he wouldn’t tell the true story. From embellishment to some deal with the Sith lord, or maybe just fear

    You could also explain the timing of the Sith’s escape by saying that after Palestine’s death there was suddenly some surge of “free Sith energy” or something because there was no Sith master left. You could even go as far and say the rule of two was specifically created to seal the power and prevent that Sith from escaping. You could’ve easily make that Snoke’s bakckstory, that he was malformed in the aeons trapped inside the sarlacc.

    There were so many options and basically anything would’ve been better than “somehow he returned”



  • Seriously, the US needs their system to be remade and restructured from the ground up. So many things were never regulated and simply not done out of tradition. But Trump breaking with every tradition has now opened pandoras box and showed to any future bad actor with how much you can get away. It’s somewhat surprising that it took 250 years for someone to break the system like this, but it most certainly won’t take another 250 years to repeat now that Trump has set the precedent, unless the system itself fundamentally changes
