When I tried to renew my three-year plan with Nord, I wasn't able to since it was only available to new customers, but when I tried to cancel my subscription, I got a "Please don't leave, here's a deep discount!" offer. Keep that in mind folks.

It's just a small side mission, so it's not well-documented. The Dark Side choice is to put explosives in the comm units in order to kill civilians; the Light Side choice is to sabotage grenades in order to only kill resistance soldiers. It's a mission only for characters aligned with the Sith Empire, so even the "good" choice is pretty shitty.

There's a mission in the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic in which an Imperial character can place explosives inside handheld communicators being used by resistance fighters -- following through with the plan gives you lots of Dark Side morality points.

It's a modern term (named after creationist Duane Gish) for an old-as-dirt oral debate tactic: spew as much bullshit, lies, half-truths and occasional facts as you can in order to bamboozle your audience, as well as put your debate opponent into a position of needing to debunk your nonsense rather than argue their own points.

 

From this comment... it's just so much: "I hope you and the other commenter both someday achieve the maturity to look back on this conversation and be embarrassed. I further hope you'll move beyond embarrassment and realize that it's part of growing up to make mistakes like that."

When asked to criticize communism, liberals will simply describe capitalism.

What other modes of production are currently in use by existing nations?

"Communism works the same way, except the party leaders are the ones on top," you think to yourself as the crimson Poverty Line flashes upwards across your field of view. "Capitalism is the only system that works." The wind is rushing hard in your ears now; the bottom of the Money Pit is coming up fast. "Besides, they worked hard to swim in the Money Pool, they deser--." Splat.

The little black piece at the top looks like a camera.
