Do you think it’s offensive or upsetting when people with GOOD eyesight wear glasses for fashion / aesthetic purposes?
My eyesight requires glasses. And yes, I find this offensive/upsetting

We’re all familiar with the scene at the beginning of ROTJ where Luke beats the mighty beast that looks like something out of space Jurassic park. It has a face that one might say only a mother could love.
Everything about this creature emphasizes how monstrous it is. There’s obviously the design, but there’s also the fact that it is Jabba’s method of destroying those who displease him. The horror is mild, but there are undertones of monster movie-esque themes in the scene. Luke waiting for the rancor to emerge from the shadows, etc etc. For all that, it’s typical action movie stuff, and it ends in a moment that the audience might find a little humorous. After Luke defeats the rancor in a Jedi hero moment, the movie turns to the rancor keeper – who cries over the monster’s death.
It’s a ludicrous contrast, and although perhaps a bit touching, more funny than anything else. Monsters are meant to be beaten – what else would you do with one? Even this monster had someone who loved him is the underlying message, but there is a little bit of “pet owner of savage dog” type thing going on. I would say it’s primarily meant to be humorous in the moment. After all, who would mourn the death of a brutal monster?
Fast forward to the last part of the movie, though, and all of a sudden…
Much like the rancor keeper, Luke is alone in his grief. A major theme of ROTJ is how solitary his journey is. He’s set apart from the others. Although I would argue the potentially scorching hot take that Leia would also feel grief over Vader (just an entirely different grief), Luke stands alone.
If we turn back to the rancor keeper and his grief for an attack monster now (notably, a monster kept at the beck and call of a corrupt ruler), it suddenly has a new light, and the question implicit in the moment – monsters are meant to be beaten; after all, what else would you do with one? – suddenly has a new answer.
what do you consider “hot” weather in YOUR region??
Anything below 13/55f (are you a polar bear?)
13 – 18 Celsius (55f – 65f)
19 – 24 Celsius (66f – 75f)
25 – 30 Celsius (76f – 86f)
31 – 36 Celsius (87f – 97f)
Even hotter than the above? (do you live in hell?)
Companion poll to this one – what would be considered “hot” in your region? Specifically what’s unbearably hot no matter the conditions. Like for me anything above 25c is way too much.
(Also vote for where it STARTS to get way too hot – the higher options are a given I feel like.)
I am exhausted and not-quite-migrainey so decided to instacart groceries.
In this order I requested 5 individual carrots.
I am now the (proud?) owner of 5 BAGS of carrots.
This is too much carrot
I’ve been got by instacart carrots again.
I chose this:
This image appears to be of the lose carrots that one finds in the bins where you can choose your own carrots, yes? You would not expect this to be a pre-packaged bag of carrots, right? Well that’s what I thought at least, so I requested 1 pound.
I received, admittedly for the price listed, a 25 POUND BAG of carrots.
Help it reaches my knee
On the year exactly????
Oh my gods i didn’t even notice!
Does this count as a very minor fey curse/blessing because it kinda feels like one
