    Original star wars was filmed in London with Union extras and actors from the area. There weren't many if any black actors in those unions back then. Lucas didn't realize till later that there were no black people, and became so dismayed that he hired James Earl Jones. He even created a black character Lando to rectify the error.

    Calling Lucas a racist is so silly. His only other directing credit post star wars, was a movie about black airmen. Btw, Lucas is also married to a black woman.

    Fun fact, this guy is an ex wrestler named Ryback. I say ex wrestler because even though he's not retired, nobody will hire him. He's bat shit crazy.

    She's been suffering sexism for a long time. When bill was fucking around and cheating on her in the 90s, people were straight up blaming her for it. They were also being horrible to Monica L, while giving bill a wink and a nod for being a dude. The problem is that she took that and instead of making herself a softer, sympathetic and likable politician, she just doubled down on being harsh and unlikable.

    What is with Japanese game devs acting proud of being technologically in the 80s? Japanese games used to look like anime, then this gen they just look like shitty live action models attempting to look like anime and it looks awful. You play Capcom games and they feel like you're playing Dreamcast, they're stiff, look like a bad live action and anime mix, and just feel old. Serieses like megaman have so much potential to have ratchet at Clank style, modern, AAA level open world, but instead they just release another shitty 80s style side scroller

    I want a star wars show in a time period where Sith and Jedi are an equal number and opposing religions. All see is the Sith as this hidden threat and there's thousands of Jedi. I want a show where there are thousands of Jedi, thousands of Sith, and lines of good and bad are blurred

    It's weird, when the prequels came out, we all knew they were bad, with great bits, but we knew they're bad movies. Then we started making jokes about how good those bad movies were, and somewhere along the years the joke was lost, and people now legit think the PT is good. It isn't, it's got great bones but it's a badly executed trilogy

    For anyone who thinks Canadian cops are nicer, I still remember the G20 in Toronto. The police designated a park as a free speech zone, surrounded it, took off their name tags and put on masks, and began to beat the protesters. They tore a disabled man's prosthetic leg off and dragged him around, they took people away from cameras and beat them. Not a single cop, including the chief in charge, suffered a single consequence. And they wonder why we no longer feel sad when one dies.

    I've been saying that the best solution is to take down both leaderships and put young people, who actually want to co exist in charge. I've been downvoted and banned from News for expressing this view and suggesting Hamas are not good guys.

    It's not about self defense. As long as you match, and don't exceed the aggressor's energy, you're within your rights. If someone punches you, you can punch back but you can't pile drive the guy, but you can hit back just as hard.

    The punch the FedEx driver threw wasn't meant to be fatal and was an acceptable retaliation after being verbally abused, then physically assaulted. It's not his fault the aggressor was glass Joe.

    We've seen it, us who live outside of America and have had the pleasure of being invaded. Must be nice to use everyone else's land as battlefields and never having to fight one at home, and ignoring the atrocities and fascism committed by your armies on foreign soil.

    The original translation of "men are prohibited to lay down with man" is more akin to "men are prohibited from laying down with boys"

    So the only real verse in the Bible that mentions homosexuality is actually telling people to not be pedos

    I wish Lemmy stopped circle jerking to this abusive, racist old cunt.

    Edit: I'm getting dowvoted because Lemmy jerks off to this old fuck. His racism is no secret, he's unapologetic about it. He assaults people over sandwiches. He's a garbage human, stop defending him.

    This is what pisses me off about Democrats. They keep decorum and fight with one arm tied behind their back, while the other guy slings shit and doesn't follow a single rule and gets away with it. For once they need to fight fire with fire. Get dirty with Trump, really dig up his skeletons and shove him in his face while calling him funny names and telling him he has a tiny dick

    I had a couple of sick kids all week so I didn't get a chance to grab some essential groceries all week, now that I have a chance I look online and it seems only the whole foods and rabba are the ones that are open today. Those are the two I usually avoid because of their ridiculous prices, so I was wondering why the cheaper places don't open, and if it has anything to do with Ontario law.
