    Neither does the act of putting a gun in a holster, does it?

    Lol look up accidental deaths from guns in the US. Having a gun in any situation ups the chance someone will be shot or die. We hear about it on the news all the time. People left their gun in a bathroom, people didn’t use their holster right and shot themselves/someone else, a child got their parent’s gun and harmed themselves or someone else. I’ve literally watched people drop their gun out of the shitty holsters they buy.

    So yes. Yes it does actually.


  • I respect the original trilogy for what it was/did. However the writing is bad, the acting is bad, and the set was mind blowing for the time but you do get this high school theater vibe from it. Best of the trilogies but really not that stand out. Empire Strikes Back does a lot of the work that keeps the OT decent. By the time you get to Return of the Jedi though it really starts to be all over the road and gets pretty jarringly goofy with all the stuff they try to play on. Sometimes watching Return of the Jedi just feels like Spaceballs.

    The Prequels have the best writing, surprisingly. The story is easiest to follow of the three and the aesthetic is beyond compare. Introduces the most information but also becomes heavy and muddy especially with all the CGI.

    The disney trilogy is pretty bad. Cleanest production but that’s really it.

    None of them are actually that good, we just like them and know they could’ve been better.










  • We didn’t prioritize big brains though. What we evolved to do lead us to big brains because we simply had great diets through cooking.

    Other species can absolutely evolve cooking or at least a process of breaking down food to both be more calorically dense and easier to digest. After that it was what less than 1 million years to get here? Most of that happening in the last 100,000?

    We’ve just not seen any species reach this point that doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t. Also a bigger question, why should they want to? What have we accomplished actually?

    We’ve managed to understand how ecosystems work. Destroyed most of them.

    We’ve discovered how to manipulate material to prolong our life span or ease our workload to what? Oppress our own species and others?

    I just don’t see us being that great and also don’t see it being impossible for other species to surpass us in ways we don’t even consider because we are arrogant.

    Many species on this planet are highly intelligent and arguably moreso than humans. If you judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree you’ll think it’s a moron. Dolphins, fungus, ants, moss, fuckin water bears. They’re all incredible creatures, why do we hold ourselves above them?
