Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

Explanation: It's a common historical counterfactual for amateur history enthusiasts to ask "What if Nazi Germany had [insert technology here]?" as a means of creating alternate timelines where Nazi Germany won the war.
In reality, considering that the US was deeply concerned that the Nazis may have been getting close to nuclear weapons themselves (they were actually far behind the US project), any serious reversal of Allied fortunes in Germany probably would've ended up with the nukes being used on the Nazis instead of Imperial Japan.
Nazi military incompetence is all that saved them from canned sunshine
Honestly, the attitude in this place is contagious!
"Bruva, I am pinned here!"
I mean, there were plenty of apologists for the Nazis when they were quickly rising, or those content to dismiss them as harmless rabblerousers, and plenty of antivaxxers before the modern day.
We just tend to forget those who were on the wrong side of history.
Prefect Pilate, get the cross. We have another cult leader stirring up trouble in Iudea.
Yes, to keep in contact with 6 people.
To me, the original trilogy is… ok.
The original trilogy has a very mythological feel that none of the other works have ever managed to fully capture (and, honestly, that feeling was on the wane even as early as Episode 6). I can name the modern works, outside of Star Wars, that have that atmosphere on one hand. It's a very delicate balance to get that atmosphere, and I think even the OT only succeeded at it by happy accident.
Still, Andor felt so fundamental, quintessential Star Wars.
I agree entirely. Can't wait to see Season 2!
Exactly! Any other faction that wins and takes over the galaxy is still running a dystopia. The Orks, however, would be ruling over a utopia where everyone is happy (on account of being Orks and thrilled to fight one another). The Orks deserve to win from a utilitarian standpoint of maximizing happiness!
Honestly only ranks below the original trilogy for me. It's really fantastic on all levels.
Um, but… isn’t this the guy who murdered several guards and robbed star wars fort knox though.
What are you talking about? He's just a tourist!
I know a good shortcut, follow me
Bullshit, the Orks are working towards increasing average happiness in the galaxy!

I tend to believe the Yemeni version because of the earlier evidence, but you're correct that neither origin is definite, and history probably will never be fully certain on the matter.
"Burnt water" is how I described the taste to my coffee-loving grandparents after numerous (and enthusiastic! I wanted to like it) attempts to find coffee I liked.
I don't care for the taste, but the smell is truly fantastic.
Chewing the beans, I believe.
Who wants to bet that this attack had little-to-no military objective, and is just murdering civilians because Trump thinks that will make him look 'tough'.
Explanation: While use of coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, it was the Arabs of the 15th century AD who discovered that it could be brewed into a drink. While I'm not a coffee drinker myself, both an appreciation for the historical importance of the drink and the fantastic smell makes me thankful for the discovery as well! Truly the world's first step into modernity 🙏
