gold bikini leia or floatin' through space leia? also... this may have been posted but i did't see it.

does it involve daisy ridley, her sisters and blue milk nipples?

i think the point is that within the context of a new hope, it could have been a few hours, a day or a couple weeks, they showed that it was more than a 30 second "jump to lightspeed aaaaaannnnnd we're there." in tlj there is literally a counting clock to annihilation so every second counts...

Luke learned the force in the time it took to go from tatooine and alderaan. It was not a 20 minute trip

i mean just your general understanding of real world physics didn't tip you off?

in what way? i mean, you know that's a video game, right?

ugh, is that for real? i just took it as no one believed the first order was real until they blew up the senate, at which point there was no one to direct the military and/or the powers left in charge were too afraid to stand up to the first order.

who said i was defending it? it wasn't a good movie. it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. it had all kinds of pacing issues and the director actively tried to alienate the audience. that being said... i don't know man... rian johnson was given the middle of a trilogy where people...

Sure thing. Leave for what now?

Yeah, there's clearly a bunch of inconsistencies with their ranking system. If there's no chain of command, why would ANYONE get demoted? On top of that, poe tries to relieve holdo of command. But if there's no chain of command... It's goofy. Leia tells iden versio in the game that no one gives...

Honestly, I don't know what she thinks. Because of how I was taught, I find it equally plausible that either she was just using shorthand, or that she's just some dummy who either poorly learned or was poorly taught

And yet they all have military ranks. Hm.

Okay, let's look at their situation... Holdo was doing... SOMETHING. People on the bridge clearly knew what was going on because no one was surprised when poe barged in on the bridge and figured it out. The bridge crew ALSO defended holdo when poe tried to remove her from command. Poe is a...

I keep seeing how pissed people are that VICE ADMIRAL holdo wasn't telling a newly demoted CAPTAIN poe the plan. She even reminds him that the last act of HER superior was to demote him. He wasn't even allowed on the bridge most of the time... Do you guys really not understand how military works?

it's really silly that this is bothering me... e.g.; an abbreviation meaning “for example.” It is short for the Latin exempli gratia, “for the sake of example.” Id est, usually abbreviated as i.e., is a Latin term that is defined as meaning in other words or that is. so yes, her exact...

while she's wrong in specifics, she's right in spirit. a lot of people are taught "in essence and example given" as a mnemonic tool. besides.. what do you think exempli gratia and id est translate into?

But why male models?

I think from this point on we shoukd just avoid talking to him about the issue as he's clearly not paying enough attention to anyone's responses to further any civil conversation.

last time i checked, there was supposed to be an english release at some point, i was going to watch the fake dub but it didn't make much sense so i turned it off to wait for the official english release. but that was like a year ago... goatface beat me to it... i'll have to look around for the...

the dsm has absolutely no oversight on rights and freedoms of how people spend their time. that's just simply not what it's about. no one in the history of american lawmaking has ever cited the dsm for why we need to start regulating substances. it's catastrophizing to assume that including...

i had a transgender client once. he came to me for addiction issues. he had had a LOT of history of sexual abuse as a child. he was born a girl and his dad basically invited his friends over to rape his daughter. really screwed up stuff. anyway, we were focusing on the drinking but he kept...

man, you are just not reading. you ask a question then don't pay attention to the response. it's already been answered. this debate is singling out video games because that's what the topic is about. and gaming addiction should be added so that there is a much more streamlined system of support...

Your problem, it seems, is that you feel the dsm is attacking video gamers and that a gaming addiction is either not real or asanine. You said it yourself, you have no idea how the dsm impacts reality so your opinion has inherently less value in this debate. The dsm has classified alcohol...

you are making a lot of assumptions here about treatment. i've answered what you've asked before, but i'll do it one more time. video games in general are not the issue. just like alcohol, in general, is not the problem. the problem is the alcoholic. the problem is the drug addict, the problem...

you seem to fundamentally misunderstand addiction.

i've worked for a couple differnet places, non profit in the past, currently a for profit, but the process is pretty similar in that a client just calls the facility looking for treatment. they come in for an evaluation and we take it from there. if there's a need for treatment, they stay, if...

there is a grand canyon of middle ground here, man. video game addiction isn't about banning video games. and playing video games doesn't equate to problematic behavior. it is 100% about creating a system that supports treatment for those who need it.

nothing stops me from counseling them once they actually GET to me. problem is there's very little precedence. the ones that i've counseled in the past had other issues, the video games or whatever tended to be reactionary responses to not having drugs to dive headfirst into. if people...

in my opinion, it's not about classifying video games as addictive vs NOT classifying tv, book reading, model airplane building or WHATEVER as addictive. it's about identifying an individual's behavior as harmful and making sure there is a support system set up for them to get the kind of help...

I didn't say happy people are immune. I said they have less reason to even think about using

just google "rat park" there's a ton of info out there and of course some of it's divisive. i don't want to link something that props one side of the argument over the other. like i said earlier, it's not a perfect solution, there's obviously more going on with addiction because there are...

well yes. exactly. because it seems ludicrous, but yet she still does it? that's called impaired control. here's a hint, it seems ludicrous to her, too. i didn't call it excessive because he's doing something he likes. i called it excessive because it's his primary (and in a lot of addict's...

eh, they have... well.. they used to... they don't say it's a reading disorder because books don't flood your brain with dopamine the way other things do. that being said, lots of people said lots of writers were insane.

Yeah, the 12th criteria is just a catch all, "continued use despite personal repercussions." legal fits in there but so does "I keep getting grounded by my mom"

be careful with that information, dsm 4 is outdated. it had A LOT of overly complicated messy stuff in it. the DSM5 is the current version and it vastly simplifies things. the dsm4 wanted to identify use vs abuse vs dependence. dsm 5 just identifies how severe a use disorder is "mild is 2-3...

while i appreciate your hesitation to identify it as a mental health issue... the fact of the matter is that smarter men than you and i HAVE ALREADY identified it as a mental health issue. i'll attempt to address some of your points. 4. simply put, wanting and/or trying to quit but you can't...

For what it's worth, quantity of consumption is not one if the criteria; only in relation to whether or not it's increasing over time. And even that is subject to clinical exploration. Drinking an ounce 10 years ago, but drinking 3 oz now doesn't really mean anything by itself

Arbitrary in what way?
