Yes and Geordi and Scotty are terrible engineers. Jake Peralta is a bad detective. Leslie Knope is a bad civil servant.
I’d put $100 on the table to say there is a least one more archeologist in the world because of those games. One who was trained to do it right, and preserved a ton of valuable cultural artifacts. Inspired by games and media.

And porn!
Anyone else a fan of Nate Bargatze?
I’ll add one more: I don’t think he’s that smart to make a purposeful move like that.

The battery packs that are wireless enabled were the thing for me.
I can recharge my phone in my pocket, while walking around the city, without a rats nest of wires popping out of my pants.
My - now daily - calls to my senators and rep now sound a lot like this:
Did the congress(man) hold up a sad little sign? Like am edge lord middle schooler? Because they need to get off their ass and be more like representative Al Green. Stop normalizing Trump’s BS OR acting civilized. Resist. Do fucking something.
Real talk?
Because I’m tired. So absurdly tired. Tired of the stupid and the sensationalism and the faked anger and the real suffering and pain.
Am I mad? Yeah. But unfortunately I’m way more tired.
There is a solid counter argument here (to play devil’s advocate). This is what a right wing American would say to this:
See, we don’t have to tax the rich, they’re so generous. It’s more efficient to let them have their money and donate it directly to causes. The federal government is so bad at allocating wealth, reducing taxes so more people can be like her is the way to go.
If the person above is not wealthy themselves, the following thought to this is Well, when I’m inevitably wealthy because of how great I am, I don’t want the government taxing me so I can be like her.
Then they pat themselves on the back for being so ((in an impossible future)) generous.
It’s worth thinking about how to counter this argument.
But not a bad daydream
My head cannon is that it’s more of a positional title than a rank. The real US Navy does this all the time. You can be an O-5 (rank of Commander) and be called a Captain if you’re the CO of a ship. Similarly you can be called “Commodore” if you run a squadron of boats which is usually a rank of O-6 (Captain).
So my guess is, in the time between ANH and Hoth in ESB, Han led a land campaign and keeps the honorific. Luke is sticking to his X-wing in that time and (due to his growing Jedi-ness) is apt to be a supporting team player in an existing squadron.
I’ve been looking for basically-sneakers-dress-shoes for a hot minute. Haven’t found any I liked. Any recs?
Remember how in TESB, Han and Leia land in an asteroid crater/cave to hide and go out in the vacuum with nothing but an emergency airplane O2 mask thinking that’s OK? And gravity is earth normal gravity?
I’m pretty sure “a galaxy far far away” means the laws of physics are a bit different.
