Edit: I only know one thing after this post. We are all having essentially this conversation:
I know everyone is sick to death of this debate, but I’m not, and I come to break bread with those of you possessing diametrically opposite tastes to mine.
I am all for Rey Skywalker emotionally. In fact, I think a piece of me will die with that theory if it doesn’t materialize. I guess I’ll just have to live with that if that’s the case. I am in favor of ReySky for a number of reasons, but I am not writing this to discuss my emotional desire to see this unfold on film. I am writing this because I am pretty sure there is a glaring issue in TFA that conflicts with ReySky and ignoring it is disingenuous. I hate that I see this, but here it goes.
Rey doesn’t appear to recognize Han, but does know his name. She knows him as “The Smuggler” and that makes perfect sense considering her occupation. She doesn’t seem to recognize Chewy, or Kylo either. Han does seem to know who Rey is based on some facial expressions- particularly when she said she “didn’t know there was this much green…” Some of you could say this is a stretch, and you could be right. But we also never get to see his reply to Maz when she asks “Who’s the girl?” Han TOTALLY knows, and I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that WHAT he knows is probably juicy AF. If Han knows, it would follow that Chewy would too since they're hetero life partners and all.
Kylo’s reaction to the “girl” on Jakku could potentially mean not only that he knows of her, but of her whereabouts. Otherwise he’s flipping out about half the population of an entire planet, and that would be silly. I would venture to say it’s no coincidence that Unkar Plutt, the one holding her back as a child has possession of the Falcon. I also don’t buy that Han amazingly intercepts the Falcon as it departs from Jakku with our heroine conveniently onboard. Even Han says it wasn’t luck that he found it. It’s traceable. Are ships only traceable in motion? If they are, fine, but that still sounds pretty lucky to me. Mind you, I don’t know what this means, but it definitely means something.
So how do they know her/know of her without Rey recognizing them upon meeting in TFA? Maybe momma left before Rey was born. Maybe she never told anyone and Rey’s existence was a secret. If that was the case, it would be far less likely that Han, Chewy, or Kylo would either know, or suspect this “girl” was Luke’s chi

Did you guys experience any flip flop about this famous quote in the movie Apollo 13 recently? I was watching this YouTube video of this guy explaining the ME affecting the movie Apollo 13. He actually shows many websites claiming that the misquote is: “Houston, we have a problem” and the original to be: “Houston we’ve had a problem”.
When in reality is the other way around! You can check for yourself.
How can multiple websites be so wrong about it when they had literally one job? They obviously watched the scene to determine which one was the actual misquote before posting the articles.
I would love to know you guys’ thoughts.
P.S. I know the real life quote is different, I’m referring to the one in the movie.
So my gf and I have been dating for 3 years now. We have a strong and happy relationship. However there is a catch - we have spoken a few times over the years about the possibility of having kids one day (as you do) and the gist of it is we don't really see eye to eye on this issue. Her view is that basically kids are a lot of work and she doesn't want that kind of committment - certainly not now and maybe not even in the future.
This poses a problem for me as I do want to have kids some day. I don't want to have to break up with her because she's not ready right now (hell, neither am I) but at the same time I need to be fair to myself. Is she ever going to change her mind on this?
My fear is that we buy a house together and get engaged and all that.. and then it all falls apart because of this key issue.
At the root of our problems is that we have been intentionally domesticated and cultivated to serve a more advanced beings purpose.
Just like animals (e.g. chickens) can be unaware of being domesticated and cultivated, so are we unaware of beings more conscious than us doing this to us. This is old knowledge which e.g. Carlos Castaneda wrote about.
These beings are on a certain level ourselves from the future: Things that will - or can - happen already influence us in the present. Retrocausality it is called in quantum physics.
The part of us that looks for self-continuation (avoiding death), rolled out to the extreme, creates a man-machine being. These beings ultimately looses all touch with who they are and becomes insane & strictly logical at the same time. The insanity of the collective egoic mind, Eckhart Tolle calls it.
These (future) beings influence us in the present. Influence our perception of reality to serve their own interests.
The 37-minute video linked to in the comments is a dive in (and out) to this fact. Awareness is freedom.
If you choose to see the video I recommend that you decide to see it from start to finish, attentively, and sit with any emotion that may come up in the proces. It is not made for entertainment or for musing certain topics. It is made to open the doors to perception and transformation, and thus takes some courage.
When seeing the video the feeling of having your sense of reality manipulated may arise. Ultimately nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists, so this is - like so much else going on here on this planet - an illusion (whats real can not be manipulated).
However, the visual setup and the sound intermingling creates an opening in our mind for a deeper understanding to arise. An understanding that arise from the depths of your soul. Rage, unconditional love and deep sorrow is connected to this - to feel it , to allow it, you need to let go. And the mind has a habit of wanting to be in the drivers seat
Ultimately its a question of whether you decide to trust that the intentions behind the video are good and serves you, which I as the composer - to the best of my knowledge - can assure you that they are (however, a real psychopath who wanted to manipulate you would say exactly the same thing ofcourse).
Your choice ...
Disconnects! Disconnects! Disconnects!
It was bad after the last two or patches but after yesterday, its INSANE! Possibly happening because of the hypernet load,
Disconnects are getting to be an hourly or more frequent happening!
Not cool! Especially depending on what you are doing and where.
That's how I felt today in my 2019 Escape AWD SE with just 14k properly maintained miles on it. I was traveling on the interstate at 75mph when my adaptive cruise control bugged out. That's not uncommon when it rains. Then, the lane keep assist lit up and quit. Shortly after that, it was a cascade of errors leading to my speedometer and odometer zeroing out while I was driving. I have a Ford Connect app on my phone which also recorded an ABS fault and hill start assist warning. I'm sure those were lit on my dashboard too. My power steering seemed to be out, as it took a lot more oomph to turn the wheel.
I drove directly into the dealer service bay and left it running so they could see what was up, and the service advisor called me tonight. He seemed... nervous... at best. I honestly can't even summarize what he talked about for 2 minutes, but it seemed like they're confused and will have a hard time tracking down exactly what my issue is. He said "when one part of the electrical computer network is faulty, it effects the rest of them." He plans to call me back tomorrow. I feel very apprehensive about this car, now.
What are the odds they get this right? I work in public safety and need to make my hour commute every day safely. I drive 24,000 miles/year.
Options now? Buy a Ford Protect Plan for a couple thousand dollars? Or, I could put that couple thousand dollars down on a different vehicle and break even on my trade. This is my first Ford - which I bought to be frugal.
So, got my results back. 1077 dna matches. Cool! Start at the top with 1st/2nd cousins. Don't know a single person, although I do recognize a reoccurring last name. I message the woman..'hi, apparently we're related but i'm really confused.' She msgs mr back 'how are you related to 'AG?' 'I'm not. He was my dad's co-worker' An hour long phone call later .... my mom has some explaining to do.
