This is not a problem if you drive at the speed limit. Then what happens is that everyone else, who will be speeding, will continually pass you and thus create more car lengths in front of you. Unless you’re in a no passing zone on a two lane road, in which case they can follow the speed limit for once.

Actually, Rebels is supposed to take place between the Reva show and ANH, and he’s depicted as cartoon Alec Guinness there.

It always amuses me that we’re supposed to believe that in the span of 5 years Obi-wan goes from looking like Ewan McGregor to looking like Alec Guinness.

Wouldn’t mind getting the final act of the Aenid. C’mon Virgil, I believe in you!

…Wow, what a moron.

We do not recognize Communist Chinese agent Joe Biden

I mean, you’d recognize Communist agents, wouldn’t you, Communist Russian agent Jones.

You couldn’t have disabled spellcheck before taking the screenshot? 😜

Anyway, obviously we’ve got President Convict, and I recognize Jim Jones, but who are the other two presumable fuckers?

Apparently he’s not the only person who goes around fucking couches.

The entire point is that Biden won’t, though. It’s just more of the rules for thee, not for me shit that fascists love.

And when I find the six fingered man, I will say to him: “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

Just throw the PokéRap on repeat again. It’ll come back to you in no time.

Eh, the Boston Massacre was blown way out of proportion specifically to rile up anti-British sentiment. Those troops had been surrounded by a mob of several hundred people and verbally and physically assaulted for hours beforehand despite several attempts to deescalate. Honestly, the whole thing wasn’t Ashley Babbitt levels of FAFO, but it was up there.

I feel it’s also important to keep in mind that part of the reason the British decided to care about this was an attempt to recoup the costs of the French and Indian War, which the colonists started.

Clown on the left is Ben Shapiro, conservative Jewish commentator. Fun facts: he’s estranged cousins with Mara Wilson (aka Matilda) and, among other things, believes despite being married that vaginal lubrication is fake news. No idea who the clown on the right is.

It really isn’t. When you know where they started from, and what direction they were supposed to be heading in, then even without knowing how fast they’re supposed to be going, it’s literally as simple as dropping out of FTL at regular intervals behind the sleeper ship and pointing a telescope in the general direction you’re going until you hit the sleeper ship’s light cone. What other posters have suggested about potential technical limitations relating the nature of the FTL drive and/or logistical problems with actually doing a pick up make sense as blocking issues, but finding them to begin with is a solved problem. Like, this is basically “where are Voyager 1 & 2 right now”, and we actually know exactly where they are right now because we’re still picking up their radio signals, powered by a 249W generator (less power than used by a typical modern PC!), from over 136 AU out, and a sleeper ship is going to be way more visible than that.

A sleeper ship isn’t going to be doing any maneuvers other than constantly accelerating before the halfway point and then constantly decelerating after the halfway point. Predicting the position of the ship at any given moment based on that is a textbook physics 101 problem that students are expected to be able to solve by hand. If you’ve got FTL cracked then you’ve got the computational power to account for any real world variables that would throw off such a prediction.

If you have working FTL now, though, and can get there faster why not also intercept the sleeper ships and bring them with you?

Different kid, actually. IIRC he’s got a bunch of IVF kids with different women because apartheid emerald money is sexy or something, but he couldn’t be bothered to actually fuck them properly. Also couldn’t be bothered to be present in their lives as a dad properly either.

Man, of course Dubya was MBA. Sad thing is that MBA still made him better than President Convict.

Reminder that CPAC proudly declared “we are all domestic terrorists”.
