If I were writing the Star Wars movies with the benefit of hindsight, I would allude to the fact that Vader seems much more aggressive when dealing with Leia compared to other Rebels, like something about her Force aura is triggering to him.

What rock have you been living under? I could not escape this movie when the discourse was at its peak. I can absolutely believe it was one of the most talked about movies.

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised to be reminded he was still alive. I keep forgetting it was his brother that died, and not him.

I’d heard of it, but only ever as a joke. Sometimes, someone online will see a purple rhino and make a Death to Smoochy joke.

I think they’re continuing the joke

Futurama has done meta jokes before. It may be lazy writing, but this isn’t them cashing in on a trend, this is Futurama being Futurama.

I haven’t seen the new episode, but this sounds like the same joke Futurama has made in both of its previous revivals. Bender’s Big Score opened with the crew lamenting that the Box Network cancelled their delivery license. Rebirth opened with the crew noting the comedy in the random wormhole from the end of Into the Wild Green Yonder happening to be Earth’s central channel for shipping. So this isn’t entirely new to Futurama.

Depends on whether we go by broadcast or production numbering. Some production seasons got spread out across two broadcast seasons.

To be sure, you don’t have to be anti-capitalist to want to use Lemmy. I’m just saying that it’s very appealing to anti-capitalists.

This actually makes a lot of sense. A lot of people are using Lemmy either because they prefer federated web platforms to centralized, which makes it antithetical to corporate interests, or because they’re opposed to Reddit’s API policy, which was a blatant move to squeeze more money out of their users. Either way, Lemmy’s appeal is very anti-capitalist, and since opposition to capitalism is a generally left-wing philosophy, I can totally see why most Lemmy users would be left-wing.

If a man donates his sperm and a woman donates an egg, then a baby can be conceived without either bio-parent engaging in intercourse, through in vitro fertilization (“test tube baby”). If the donors remain virgins long enough (maybe they’re ace or something), then their bio-child could lose their virginity before either of them do.
