. I wanted to scream, "CARRIE FISHER IS DEAD, YOU frickING RETARDS, HER CHARACTER HAS TO DIE TOO!" at the screen.
Not only that, but the circumstances of her dying there would have been really interesting. Kylo is going in for the kill, but he hesitates because despite being the villain, he can’t hate his mother enough to kill her. Then, someone else takes the shot and kills her anyways. This could have led to moments of Kylo examining his beliefs and setting up a redemption arc where he abandons the dark side and joins the light.
Instead…Mary Poppins. TLJ and ROS are insultingly awful movies.

$700 split between 3 people to rent a 2br 1 bath condo for a weekend.

I failed to know how Germany lost that war. US intervention into the war made the difference. The Kaiser would not have been defeated if the US Army had never set foot on the Western Front in France.
The Germans had just knocked out the Russians and were on the verge to overrun the allies in the West. However, the British blockade was completely strangling the German economy and people were running out of food. The Germans really only had the patience for one more mass assault. The Americans arrived just in time with tons of supplies to aid the allies in France, and the German offensive failed. The German navy mutinied, and the people were rioting in need of food, so the armistice was signed.
However, the peace conference was an absolute farce. The bloodthirsty French wanted everything, and Wilson was an idiot who had a completely fanciful view of the world and its future. The agreement that was reached served no one but the British.

Maybe out west, but along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts the borders are pretty geographical
Really? The straight lines dividing Mississippi from Alabama or the Florida panhandle from Georgia are geographical? Don’t get me started about Tennessee’s northern and southern borders or Pennsylvania’s nonsense box.

On tv: Boise State vs Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl or Texas vs USC in the Rose Bowl.
In person, probably the Sunbelt Title Game between ULL and App State.

Internet discourse and identity politics have no room for nuance.
I’m still pro-Trump. However, I can recognize that his handling of the Epstein files and the Iran War has been sub-optimal to say the least. Trump isn’t right about everything on every issue, but he bats a much higher batting average than most every other politician in the game.
Marlins pizza kinda sucks, but it’s a nostalgic suck. It tastes like my childhood because it was the only pizza place that delivered to my parents house growing up.
When it’s hot, it hits, but if it cools, the crust tastes awful and the cheese has a weird flavor to it. Their burgers and po’boys are solid if you like softer bread than the hard crunchy style ones in New Orleans.
I have never had the pizza from Nick’s.

Blue Mountain State meets Parks & Rec with a dash of Trailer Park Boys and Letterkenny.

I’m skeptical of the data centers, but I love this. This could be as transformative for Southwest Louisiana as Chenier Energy.

No, that’s how the NFL works. The teams that win tend to be the teams that get lucky enough to have most of their starters healthy long enough to score a playoff spot and be the healthiest in the postseason.

Hitler attacked Russia before he finished off UK. Had he waited till after capturing the UK, he takes Russia in a 1 front war and now we would all be speaking German.
Hitler could not capture the UK for several reasons:
1. Failure to capture the expeditionary force at dunkirk
2. Failure to take control of the French Fleet before it was scuttled.
3. Failure to sever the Suez Canal
4. Failure to win air superiority over Great Britain and the British Channel
5. Failure of the German Navy to defeat the British Navy to open up operation sea lion.
After these 5 results became clear, Germany no longer had the means or leverage to bring the UK to the negotiating table nor invade the British Isles.
The Soviets were rapidly rebounding and rebuilding from Stalin’s purges, so every day, the Soviets’ odds to break the non-aggression pact and attack Germany went up.
Hitler had a very narrow path to victory against the UK, and by 1941, it was already just about closed.
