The study showed far right extremists had 5x as many attacks since 1990
As someone to old to have grown up with the term yeet, the missuse of it here annoys me.
The bullets get yeeted sure. But they aren't catapulting pirates off their ship with a gun on their ship.
There were also Jedi/Sith that would essentially meditate and influence the moral off the armies, giving them confidence, limiting their fears.
Those guys would be great friends hostile negotiations as well haha.
The sith seek the rule of 2 and forever holding power for themselves, the Jedi supposedely try to take a role where they do not rule, but provide protection and guidance for the galactic Republic. Both clearly a slippery slope. But yeah you get situations like Darth Bane jumping onto a rancor forcing his will onto it, enslaving it to do his bidding and riding it through a dense forest before just tossing it aside like a worthless tool when it is no longer of use to him. The idea that they wouldn't do the same to a person who can't protect themselves is pretty likely. We see them convince people to shoot others... I'm sure morals/ethics are out the window at that point
Not sure we ever fully understand the full extent of what the force does when it comes to enticing/manipulating others. Forcing your will onto another is the principle of a Jedi mind trick and nearly all Jedi can do it. Someone as strong with the force as Anakin could have been slowly manipulating her without ever really comprehending he did so. His subconscious wanted her as we know.
It may be one of the reasons why they aren't supposed to have serious ongoing romantic relationships.
2 months ago they put people on around the clock sifting of the files for Trumps name according to this NBC article. And gave no explanation as to what they were supposed to do after flagging them.
Ah, they didn't allow the working with a family member in Florida. Had to do a non-profit or government program. Although I know 2 people who got around that by volunteering to do the clock/statkeeping for the kids basketball games. They'd show up on Saturday every weekend so the parents and such didn't have to do it. And being that they both played basketball, it fit their interests and they noted all the individual stats instead of just the total score. The leagues are non-profit so it was an easier one.
I liked more when it was volunteer community service to gain access to a higher level of scholarship option. 75% scholarships didn't require volunteer work, 100% scholarships did. No one is forced to do anything, but you can choose to do so and it benefits your options.
Forced labor is never a good idea. Best solution for the kids would be to coordinate with others and burn all the fields in conjunction. Would bring the country to its knees begging other countries for assistance with food. The government would likely collapse and give up on the forced labor as soon as possible.
"The slaves acted like terrorists."
It's not like they had a choice what country they were born in.

Have to sort by hot, but even then it's rough sometimes. I've updated my other computers, I set up wireguard so I could access my local network while their VPN is running so I can watch jellyfin movies locally... Now I'm considering/figuring out how I can scrape all the movies/tv shows off debrid and list them in a fake drive on my jellyfin server so I can maybe get it them to play on my TV for when I'm in the room and don't want to plug a laptop up.
... I'm bored (but have to sit here because they keep asking if we are here)
