I'm really hoping that lemmy can see a larger uptick in engagement. I know I should be the change I want to see in the world. However the thing I miss the most is pointless arguments in the comments section. :D
No you don't.
That's not an argument. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
No it's not.
Yes it is.
Sorry, is this the five minute course or the full half-hour?
An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
No it isn't!
An argument is where I convince you that I'm right and you're 100% wrong by Logic^tm.
It's like going back to an abusive relationship....🤣...ahhhh feels like home
Well I think it's stupid and pointless that you miss pointless arguments. Are we doing it right?
Ohh for sure!
What you just want substance in your life? No debates over if Captain Picard could kick Luke Skywalkers ass? Everyone knows it's Picard all the way. :D
To me Reddit was always the comments and less about the news story. The pulse of what was happening in your country, or town, or hobby, etc. I'm sure that will happen here on Lemmy too in time.
Did you just say Pickard can kick Skywalkers ass? Luke is a jedi. And a trained knight who has fought many battles.
Pickard is a desk jockey who sits in a fancy chair. It's not even close.
Sure, the enterprise can best the falcon, but in a 1v1, there is zero chance of Pickard taking out Luke
I think you're underestimating Picard. Like, not only was the man a wild punk in his youth before Starfleet straightened him out, but it's shown throughout the series that he's more than capable of bluffing opponents with access to things like literal time travel.
If nothing else, if he fights Luke, he's not going to fight on Luke's terms if he can help it.
Bluffing isn't going to stop a lightsabre through the face.
In all honesty, I'm probably over estimating Pickard. Luke can force choke him from across the room while Pickard is doing his fancy speech
But wouldn't they both win as neither would want to even fight the other so there wouldn't be a battle to begin with?
You mean the same Luke Skywalker who threw his lightsaber away while confronting the most powerful men in the galaxy on board their planet-killing superweapon? And also tried to talk down the ruthless crime lord who had both his sister and her boyfriend as hostages? :P
There's no need to get into a fight when you can call for a site to site transport an intransigent Jedi into a hard vacuum.
We haven't established the parameters of this fight well. If outside/friend help is not allowed, Skywalker wins. If outside help is allowed: Picard wins
Also it is canon now that jedi can survive a hard vacuum for a moment at least, per Leia in The Last Jedi (iirc). But Picard is definitely smarter so he'd find a way I think. Probably.
Hard vacuum is survivable for a short amount of time, but The Force won't really help Luke if he's half a light minute away from the closest breathable atmosphere.
You're right. We need a federated WhoWouldWin.
