re: Empire Strikes Back question(s)

So I know this doesn't answer the main question, but I remember watching the making of Empire Strikes Back, and that wasn't what was said..
The cast & crew first learned of it when they saw the finished film. When we shot it, Vader's line was "You don't know the truth, Obi-Wan killed your father....

How does the LGBTQ+ community get around the B in their title?
Doesn't the B stand for BI?

They are kinda the same thing but quite a bit more organized. (I assume.) They deploy all over to help after these kinds of storms or any time mother nature decides to remind us ...
re: Explain climate change to me like I’m five
Posted by fredswaves on 8/25/22 at 8:18 am
The best explanation for climate change I've found is from Micheal Crichton's take on the issue. Aliens... makes more sense than any other argument I've seen. It is a bit of a read, but it is worth it.

Isn't 97% the same percentage of Scientists agree with Global Warming being a problem and being Man-Made?

Just how great was the Polio Vaccine?
Posted by fredswaves on 12/8/21 at 8:53 am
(Sorry for the wall of words)
I keep seeing people reference the polio vaccine as an example of why we should get the Covid Vaccine. They use it as an example of how we used science to eradicate the scourge of polio.
I read a book [u]Dr. Mary's Monkey[/u], based in New Orleans and is about a...

I think you can chalk this up to an organization (The Tokyo Olympics) trying to bring thousands of people together (Athletes and Spectators) to make as much money as possible while trying to navigate this era of woke stupidity during the aftermath of a completely over-exaggerated pandemic.

I think that the goal of Disney is to separate the fools from their money.
