  • I suppose if we will compare fantasy to reality to Wookiepedia we go

    "A nomadic culture,[14] Tusken clan groups consisted of 20 to 30 individuals, and were led by clan leaders, tribal chiefs,[7] and warlords.[8] Tuskens traveled in single file to hide the number of individuals in their party.[15] The culture of different tribes varied greatly, with some surviving by killing outsiders, while other tribes used more peaceful means.[7] "

    The description of his onslaught had over 2 dozen huts, where “I…I killed them. I killed them all. They’re dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children too. They’re like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals.”

    I would draw from that information that they had varied cultures, and he slaughtered one indiscriminately.

    Thus completely wiping out their tribes culture, and of course the individuals as well. I’m not sure how that wouldn’t fall under genocide.




  • So if someone said they intentionally murdered all of a tribe, you wouldn’t consider it genocide?

    Sand people is more of a word like Native Americans.

    So it would be like if he went and intentionally murdered all of the Cherokee because the actions of one/some Cherokee.

    Sure he didn’t hunt down the Seminoles afterwards, but the Cherokee have their own culture and beliefs.

    As for the Jedi… His orders were to kill everyone of a certain religion. He stated with the younglings and then spent over a decade hunting down anyone who escaped.




  • No they didn’t. The chief of police of new Orleans instructed his men and the national guard to do so. FEMA has no authority to do any such thing. Then Congress signed a bill to make it illegal for that to ever happen again.

    The bill: H.R.5013, S.2599

    Note FEMA has no right to do anything on a states soil unless directed to by the states government. That’s why Puerto Rico had such trouble during Hurricane Maria and such. FEMA delivered resources and brought aid, but much of it sat on the runway with no dispersal instructions. So it just sat until orders eventually arrive. In some places pallets of water were sitting there months even past a year later.

    The U.S. president claimed the President of Puerto Rico was an idiot at the time, which got him called a fool, as he is the President of Puerto Rico.

    It may seem strange to be advised to look at Florida for answers, but Hurricane response in Florida has been used, reused, and reconstructed to make it better many times. Every state/territory should have their governor delegate someone to pull up their Hurricane response plan and compare it to their own and revise anything needed to better it for their location.





  • All they asked is if I had boots. Steel toe or not I believe is always debated because steel toe may help against you dropping something moderately heavy on your foot, but if you roll a cart over a steel toe, it general bends into your foot, causing more damage trying to get your food out of said situation.

    From what I saw it’s mostly redistribution of cold product, think like Boars Head meats and such. So I assume hours of reorganizing items from the source to individualized boxes packed for shipping out to grocery stores.

    I needed a quick job in the interim to pay for bills until I find something permanent. The whole ordeal was over quick. Saw someone putting out product at the store, asked him if they were hiring, he gave me a cell phone number and told me give Sam (fake name) a call

    Called him and he told me to meet him at 11 the next day. I walked in, talked and he said to his workers I’m hiring this guy, told me I’ll start Monday, and bring my SS card, ID, and bank info for direct deposit.

    Never started working for a company before the paperwork has cleared, but what the hell.

    I’ll look into the composite toe thing, I likely will need to wait till the end of December to buy new shoes (so I have time to plan those)
