  • What works against that argument too is how politically active the Jedi are. Like a Jedi’s actual job up to the fall of the Republic is to be a galactic peace officer. Now I may have not ever met a KGB agent, and I have never lived while the KGB was still a thing, but I know they existed and had a huge impact on geopolitics. It’s just not possible that only 20 years after the rise of the Empire and the fall of the Jedi that everyone in the Star Wars galaxy would forget something like that.


  • My favorite interview experience was at a company that listed the expected salary on the job posting. Then when the question of my salary came up I told them I was happy with what they said they offered in the ad. It was in line with other ads for similar positions. That was not the right answer. They said that if I was actually passionate about the company that I would have made a low offer to save the department money. I remarked that I wasn’t an employee yet so the department and companies wellbeing wasn’t one of my priorities. I didn’t get the job, although I wasn’t upset I didn’t.



  • Sure when you set the goal post that far away you’re right but by doing that you’ve made your argument so pedantic that it’s just not worth arguing against. In practice at some point the variance is so insignificant and we can just say it’s a right angle. If you want to maintain the position that it’s not a perfect right angle by all means you’re welcome to do that. I’d say, that piece of bismuth is close enough.












  • Gambling addiction is about the high like any other addiction. It comes down to brain chemistry, and personality. There’s the high from anticipation, and a second from the payoff just like every addiction. Gambling is just easier than most because it’s money, something we all have to use. Like food addiction, it’s something we all need to consume.
