Also if it’s new, she probably just doesn’t like the smell of it yet.

I was thinking of this

Earth years or a galaxy far far away years?

Over 18, but he was the only one that doesn’t want to be there. He was scared but didn’t want to disappoint his father. That poor kid and his mother. Can’t imagine how she must feel. This is why being a good parent takes more than resources. I would never want a relationship with my kids where they felt pressured into doing something just to make me happy. I’d hope I’d make different decisions as a father if I was in that situation. My son openly tells me about his hesitant feelings towards an objectively dangerous trip, I’m not making him go at the very least. And I’m probably not going myself because me and my son can do something else together.

Willy Wonka’s lawyers make OJ Simpson’s lawyers look like Pam Bondi

Work culture in around the world is fucked. We all know we’re essentially pushing a rock from one side of the room to the other, all so some guy can have multiple homes and a private sexual abuse island. That Guys best friend also gets to be president, while I have to make a schedule to show my bosses work is being done… Like what? Can’t I just do the work and you verify with your own two eyes? No, if it’s not on the schedule that some middle manager only sees but never verifies if it got done, it’s the same as not doing it.

Texas… The most free state.

Don’t get married. Star wars is proof. Padmé Amidala died less than a year after getting married. Coincidence?

Does it have to be in that order?

Don’t buy American. Don’t buy Stellantis vehicles no matter what!

Life was not good. That’s literally when most Americans started to melt their brains with social media and hyper individualism.

Absolutely. There are soooooooo many similarities, just with a futuristic twist. Rome refused to change with the times and other city states that modernized and welcomed new people did swimmingly. You can’t force everyone to conform to your ideology unless your ways are obviously better and easier to incorporate other influences into your own society. Look at the fall of Chinese dynasties. They tried so hard to stay isolated but (right or wrong how it happened) if they opened up and simply took the parts they needed (guns, boats capable of traveling oceans, and trains.) they would have done much better. Kinda like Japan. Japan messed up by picking a fight with the country they were learning from.
