I dunno about you, but I have a hankering for the mid-to-late-80s aesthetic, but specifically that taken into sci-fi. I'm talking Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star etc. 80s tech but... Future!

Everything's so chunky and functional. It looks like you could hit it with a sledgehammer and it would still work!

Basically, BUTTONS! Gimme buttons, lots of big buttons! I want things that go click so I can be sure I've pressed them. I don't want a tiddly little touchpanel for my washing machine, I want a button that goes CLACK when I press it!

He was correct too in a way. It wasn't The Force that was keeping the Galaxy in line, it was economic and logistical power. If anything, it was the Sith's constant need for conflict and backstabbing seeping into the officer corps that hampered The Empire, and the Tarkin Doctrine is what happens when you base your military strategy on the whims and wishes of an autocratic religious fanatic.

Disposable vapes are easier to hide from parents since you can just throw them away, and also you don't have to worry too much if your teacher confiscates them because they're disposable.

With a non-disposable vape, suddenly things become a lot harder for vaping teenagers.

I'm not suggesting we let teenagers vape, I'm just saying there's a reason teenagers like the disposable ones.

Succubi and Incubi are genderless. They take the form you are most likely to sleep with in that given moment.

I was under the impression that the Numenoreans were very much imperialists towards the end, as in they'd raid Middle Earth for all its riches and there was nothing they could do about it.

When Numenor sank beneath the waves and the Faithful came to Middle Earth, how did they reconcile with the existing inhabitants? "Oh yeah we're Numenorean but we're totally not like those bad ones. Btw we're setting up a kingdom here and here and there's nothing you can do about it".

There couldn't have been that many Faithful on those ships. How did they manage to acquire so much land with so little opposition?

At last, we'll be seeing nuclear reactors being created using Agile! Fail early, fail often, hopefully don't kill everyone!
