ICE is the 5th highest funded military force in the entire world. They’re killing people in the middle of the streets. We absolutely have to clean house.

I cant believe I have seen someone call the Jedi therapists, and that Anakin was in "therapy" for 13 yrs within the Jedi Order.

When, I can assure you, by everything we have from canonic material, from Legends AND Disney Canon - but especially if we take the movies only - the way Jedi manage emotions is no where close of healthy.

The Jedi offered spiritual guidance, emotional discipline and moral instruction. That is not the same thing as therapy, and canonically they were not healthy in how they handled emotions, fear, attachment and grief, especially in Anakin's case.

You do not take a 9-year-old former slave away from his mother, leave her enslaved on another planet, teach him that fear is a path to darkness, allow a 52-year-old politician constant access to him for years, pile war and responsibility onto his shoulders, and then call that “therapy.”

That does not mean Anakin is innocent. He is responsible for what he became and what he did.

But stop twisting the story into “the Jedi were basically his therapists and did everything right.” They were not villains. They were heroes, but flawed heroes, and in Anakin's story they absolutely failed him.

The main villain is and always will be Sidious.

But the Jedi's mistakes were still mistakes, and their handling of Anakin was not healthy by any serious reading of the text.

#and what it was done with Anakin wasnt healthy by any means #he has all the blame for what he did #but dont twist the idea the jedi were therapists or good in how to deal with emotions when canonically they were not #“but george said...”#george is not a therapist he is a story teller #the jedi had good mottos and thwy werent bad people #the idea of how attachment and compassion works wasnt wrong by any means #but how they applied it was wrong #the way they treated fear and anger and bonds - especially in the movies and especially in the novelization of rots - is wrong #tell to a 9 yrs old boy he was afraid after leaving his mother on desert planet to remain a slave and go to another planet #and being afraid was a path to the dark side as being afraid - a natural reaction for tge context - was basically an ontological problem #is a problem #leaving a 9 yrs old around a 52 yrs old politician during years without proper supervision #IS ALSO A BIG FUCKING PROBLEM #the jedi didnt give “therapy” to anakin #they let a boy be groomed from childhood and palpatine didnt need to be darth Sidious #for the consequences of this action be catastrophic #“you are saying the jedi are villains!”#nope #the jedi are heroes #but FLAWED heroes #who commited mistakes #and partially antagonists in ANAKIN history #the true villain is Sidious #jedi critical

[Id: News Article: "Ubisoft exec says gamers need to get comfortable with "not owning your games"

Ubisoft's director of subscriptions says that gamers need to start "feeling comfortable" with not owning the games they are playing"

Meme: "if purchase isn't ownership; then piracy isnt theft"]

The first time I saw that article, I said that if they're renting me games, I expect to be paying rental prices. But, now I'm thinking that Ubisoft maybe needs to feel comfortable with people not paying them at all.

yeah.

these kpop stores are still shipping albums to israel even after everything that has been happening in these past (almost) 2 years is abhorrent. they should get more backlash for this

Current conspiracy theory: Big Pharma names their drugs via slapping random sounds on a wheel, spinning this wheel five to six times, and just mashing things together like a kid playing with Legos.
