No, just a star wars fan with an appreciation for word play.

Are you 12? I can’t take anyone seriously when they resort to name-calling.
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 5 days ago:
This is all going to depend on what exactly the lease says as well as local laws. OP needs to talk to a lawyer.
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 5 days ago:
You should definitely talk to a lawyer, as this is going to depend on your local laws and ordinances.

Oh my bad, I misread it

Much as I love these two, I don’t know if he’d make a great Scotty.
- Comment on What actually came first? The chicken or the egg? 1 week ago:
The egg came first. Mutations happen in the production of gametes, or sex cells, so a proto-chicken would have produced a slightly mutated egg that turned out to be a chicken.
- Comment on Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? 1 week ago:
It’s been a while since I watched “The Menagerie” but is this scene in it? Because if this scene appears only in “The Cage” then I don’t think it would be considered canon.
But in any case, it’s a recreation made by psychic aliens based on Pike’s memories. It might not be entirely accurate to begin with.
- Comment on Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s ‘Dogma’ to Get Theatrical Rerelease in June as Kevin Smith Plots 25th Anniversary Tour 1 week ago:
Why not? I think the messages of the movie are pretty evergreen and just as relevant today as 1999 (which wasn’t that different).

Damn, this movie used to be available on YouTube, looks like it’s been taken down.

Hit the gym, stop eating so many sweets.
- Comment on Are the Roman numerals based on what your hand look like when you count? 2 weeks ago:
The Romans didn’t use base 12. Roman numerals aren’t a positional system.

I’ve never heard of crossing your fingers like that to indicate 10.

Mendel’s experiments are a lot easier to recreate on your own than Darwin’s observations at Galapagos. And that’s what good science is all about.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You can do it yourself and see it firsthand. You can breed plants and artificially select the traits you want to see in future generations.
- Comment on Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda movie hits theaters in March 2027 2 weeks ago:
Most anything can be newsworthy in 2025. Doesn’t take much effort to publish a blurb like this.
- Comment on Social Media Has Me Ducking My Friends And It Sucks - Aftermath 2 weeks ago:
Human beings are social creatures, and being able to connect with one another is one of the best parts about the internet. But the internet’s incessant need to streamline and optimize how I connect with friends by sending me notifications the moment they’re active on TikTok, posting new stories on Instagram, or liking the same video as me is has turned those real friendships into supervised ones and that fucking sucks.
This author is making a mountain out of a molehill. There are other ways to interact on social media that aren’t just sharing memes and posts (and I’m pretty sure you can pause suggested content on Instagram anyway). You can have an actual conversation with somebody, an algorithm can’t “beat you to it” or “rob you of the opportunity” or whatever.
Or just call them up and hang out with them in the meat space if you’re so concerned.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 2 weeks ago:
Goldeneye. Revolutionized the FPS genre at the time. Nigh unplayable now. Tried recently using both NSO and on an original N64, it just hasn’t aged well when compared to something modern.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 3 weeks ago:
Stay and fight for it. Because what happens if and when shit goes south wherever your new home is? Just keep running?

- Comment on I've done it again... 3 weeks ago:
You’re supposed to disregard it. Just boil enough pasta for however many servings you want, a serving of dry pasta is 60g. Why are you using a recipe for spaghetti?
- Comment on I've done it again... 3 weeks ago:
Start weighing your pasta. You’ll never cook too much again.
- Comment on Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"? 3 weeks ago:
You left out some important context, that she followed that up with “you people are next.”

A group of people related by blood and/or marriage.
More broadly, any group of related things depending on the context.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you are in prison and want to communicate with the outside world without being detected, what are some ways to hide a message within an innocuous letter? 3 weeks ago:
It could be anything, as long as your recipient has the cipher for your code. If they don’t, then you better hope they’re really good decrypters.

- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 3 weeks ago:
Not just my mood, but I have different flavors of favorite.
In terms of nostalgia and all-time enjoyment, hard to beat Ocarina of Time.
In terms of pure “this game is so good”, may have to go with Red Dead Redemption 2. Truly a masterpiece.
In terms of most hours played, Civilization 6 at over 2000 hours.
- Comment on I don't envy the humans pre-dentistry 4 weeks ago:
This is what gets me about the sentiment of “humans lived for hundreds of thousands of years without toothpaste/sunscreen/antibiotics/vaccines/etc and we were just fine!”
My dude, we were most definitely not fine. A lot of people died painful and preventable deaths, many of them children, and we’re around today because existing that way was just good enough to keep us going as a species.
