  • I believe it was canonized that Vader made improvements when it was required. Vader was still a technical genius and a pilot that no one rivaled.

    Take his right hand for instance - he was given the first prosthetic, that he replaced during the clone wars. One of his legs in a comic gets beat to all hell, and he rips off a jedi training droid leg to replace it, which works better and is far sturdier.

    But originally it was intended to be a hinderance. Anikin was a walking vergence in the force, simply by existing he made his connection to the force stronger. By sticking him in a much less technically advanced cyborg suit than what Grievous got, he could also just blast him with some lightning to weaken him physically again.















  • I would think that the title of CEO might not be appropriate to every organization either. I know a rather big org where the CEO is basically someone who begs for investors, and the CAO does what a CEO usually does. There are orgs where that’s the CFO, or the COO. Regardless of the title, it’s all executives we’re angry about because of the incredible income disparities versus actual responsibilities.

    The executives I’ve met are essentially hype men or thumbs up thumbs down types. All of them were finance types or management types. To me, if your only qualification is many years of managing with barely any experience in the actual product/service your org provides, then that’s a problem.

    Hospitals run by management types? Engineering services run by accountants? It’s all middlemen extracting piece of the pie from the people actually doing the work.

    As a society we need to purge the system of middlemen period. The internet made middlemen obsolete, yet they are still exploiting labor in ridiculous ways.






  • What infuriates me is that there are those that make 6 figures as being able to potentially make 7. And sure, some of them might.

    But are they brain surgeons that have such a specialized life saving surgery that by the nature of economics pushes the value of their skill exceptionally high? Nope.

    Hell, I make 6, and I’ll admit, I have a lot more than a lot of people. I’m 2-3x the median of my area. I can’t buy a house. I own a 7 year old RAV4. If I was better managing my money and not having to pay out my ass for my ex wife, sure, things would be better.

    It’s not at all difficult to find how just a little less income makes life much harder. It is VERY difficult to see how someone who has so much money can be remotely ok with people having it harder than them.

    Those pulling in 7 figures without highly valuable skills should be dehumanized. Because they have abandoned what has helped humans survive at all. Each other.
