I think I'm gonna start a bingo card for all the usual conservative buzzwords.

Maybe give one to my parents and tell them the more words they find in their news, especially if my mother (educated, and qualified to teach grade school) thinks the usage and/or grammar are odd, they should assume whoever is writing it is trying to trick them into blindly following like good little sheep.

In the Radio Drama, Obi-Wan even says to Han Solo that he hasn't touched money in a long time and has been making his way on his own for some time.

I take that to mean he has no official presence on tatooine.

Plus let's be honest, rim worlds don't exactly have good, robust governments that keep track of everyone. They made that clear early on. You can patrol the streets of major cities and their space ports, but without a major presence, the empire has no idea who lives where in the outer rim.

Plus "Skywalker" would definitely be a common name given how historically on earth a lot of last names correspond to trades and careers, so a "Skywalker" was descended from someone who got their name piloting, or generally being someone who spends a lot of time in space.

So combine all those together with the characters being on a planet that Darth Vader has every reason to hate and disregard, (he was a slave there, his mother died there and he feels responsible, and also... Sand...) the empire could comb the desert and not find shit.

When people get impatient and honk at me to move when I can only scoot a few feet, I hit the brakes and come to a full stop while traffic keeps inching. Maybe I'll let another car in our lane,maybe not. Either way, we will both be leaving traffic at the same time whether I'm an inch away from the car ahead of me, or 30ft. If I can get out and walk faster than traffic, there's no point in getting pissy over cars not squeezing in every inch they can.

People like my dad, who grew up in the 70s and early 80s, still jump at the mention of the dirty evil C word

Fuck, parts of my family have definitely been here longer than most current politician's families, but apparently I'm a domestic terrorist.

It didn't seem condescending to me.

Personally I like having my cds put of nostalgia. I don't spend all that time making multiple cds for large games like horizon zero dawn because I think it'll stand the test of time lol. Most of the cds I had when they were the standard aren't functional anymore, but damn if I don't enjoy it when my little usb disc tray pops out.

It's generally correct to assume the average pc user doesn't make backups of anything. I once had a friend call me to their house in a panic because their work laptop ate shit and they had absolutely nothing saved externally. With a recovery company, he managed to scrape about 10% of his client data, and their bank lost a looooooot of reputation over it. Now their laptops do company-wide backups to a single cloud service twice a day. (I asked what they're gonna do if the cloud service goes down and the answer he gave was "look for a new job" lmao)

I have other backups, I just get nostalgic for the days of Command and Conquer.

I mean, I have an external hdd I keep a backup of important files on, and an ssd I use to transfer things onto a second computer, and it's just a full backup of my primary pc.

I combine the two.

Burn offline drm free installers onto blank cds.

Well... Dvds, I can fit some older games into cds but they don't have the same capacity.

I've been burning cds with my offline installers on every game I can. Finding blank cds in physical stores is hard, I lucked out finding this stack brand new at a thrift store.

I would very much like to have a desktop with cd racks filling the frame around it again.

Yeah, nothing stopped them from trashing the postal service for the last election in an extremely transparent way, I don't actually see this court order being effective.

Or at least as effective as every other court order seems to have been for the regime.

"The whites" literally went to war over slavery. What they mean is "the conservative whites"
