Well, in the last week alone I had pipes burst at a property, leaving over a foot of water under the house, a pipe burst inside the walls of our shop flooding the bathroom, kitchen, and sending a stream through the shop to a little pond outside, and a dumbass flying at high speed crashed into 5 parked cars in our shop's lot, totalling at least two...does that give an indication?

The Jedi have been engaged in outright genocide for millennia in their attempts to eliminate the Sith, who are the actual force of balance in the galaxy.

The Sith were originally a species that looked like an uglier version of Sebulba with tentacles, who were a race of force-adepts native to Korriban, that could more or less only receive dark side energies due to the natural evolution of the planet. They were a monastic order that originally had zero experience with militaristic warfare. Think evil Hare Krishnas that looked a little like Davy Jones in POTC dipped in dragonsblood ink.

For a real life comparison, the Lama caste of Tibet before the Chinese exile. Torture was commonplace, but all in the name of the middle path.

The Jedi considered them tainted and began a campaign to eliminate them from the galaxy. This order of balance who have always purported themselves to be the good guys blockaded a peaceful planet and either bombarded it with weapons of mass destruction or concentrated their force powers to suffocate it, depending on whose holocron you're holding. All in the name of good. ...I mean, balance. They retconned popular history to make it look like they purged themselves all at once by soaking up too much wickedness.

Before the Jedi purged the planet, it was lush and vibrant, possibly even oceanic like Mon Calamari or Manaan. It is now a desert with a handful of concentrated ruins.

The Jedi are the bad guys in Star Wars. The only fucking true neutral character in canon is Chewbacca. Or maybe Revan.

No, we do believe in standing up for our beliefs against our own country. Us standing up for our beliefs and putting an end to the radical right agenda is the entire reason why people stormed the capital. The difference is we aren't stupid enough to think that we stand a chance against the largest and wealthiest military force in world history.

So I don’t work out much but I have a very physically demanding job, I’m a 39 male who has weighed 150lbs for as long as I can remember, I want to gain weight. I’ve started making smoothies every morning and was thinking of adding protein powder to them but looking online has got me very confused between whey protein and plant based and there seems to be a lot of brand options why advice or suggestions would be really appreciated also if anyone’s got a good smoothie recipe for weight gain that’d be awesome too
