I’m… morbidly curious about Info-Sex now. Granted, I’m 45 and lived through decades of unfiltered internet, so there’s a lot that doesn’t even raise my eyebrows anymore.
Now I am wondering about middle school sex ed in an inter-species class room, and in a world where inter-species romantic relationships are a thing. Remembering mid 80s when people legit wondered if they needed to be using dental dams when kissing to avoid HIV…
Darth Vader, yeah, decent odds kids are familiar. My question is, do kids nowadays even know what a dime store is? (This is mostly rhetorical; idiomatic usage of it, like here, does come up, and the meaning isn’t hard to infer. Still, I could see “dollar store” being more used instead in the same way.)
As someone born in the 90s, the romantic relationship in the second prequel still gives me shudders (though I find all the prequels horrible for plot design). The age gap did not look like only 5 years in the first one, and the dialogue didn’t help improve my opinion of it in the second or third. The only saving grace of the prequels in my opinion was sassy Obi-Wan (though I think the animated clone wars 2003-2005 was better for that, but I now see that it isn’t considered cannon anymore). I guess the music was also okay. I am not really a fan of the sequel either, especially The Last Jedi, as while the plot could have been interesting, I find it poorly executed with too many plot ideas shoved into the movie, taking away from the tension and time that should have been spent on character development and why characters were acting or feeling the way they do (especially a certain character). I know that some people like that one though.
I figure they’re more likely to know who Darth Vader is than know what a dime store is. (Apparently The Youts use Temu or Wish as their source of knockoffs.)
In spycraft there are specially trained agents that use romantic or sexual relationships to compromise a target. Guess that could be called “info-sex.”
Reminds me of a line from Jon Stewart that stuck in my head, regarding an incident of this during the W administration (I think?). “Someone was spilling the beans while they were… spilling the beans!”
… Keep Then far away from the concept of info-sex. Gods knows what he will do with it.
You cant’ stop progress, Avery.
Mata Hari was good at info-sex, I hear. Don’t tell him that, though.

dime store darth vader = ?
Scar with his voice box apparently sounds like Vaders breathing apparatus.
Do kids nowadays even know who darth vader is?
Kids still follow Star Wars yeah, but in a different way. My nephews are infatuated with Lego Star Wars. One of them collects mini-figures. He’s six.
Darth Vader, yeah, decent odds kids are familiar. My question is, do kids nowadays even know what a dime store is?

All depends on the generation. My gen (80’s) the original trilogy was the best, wheras my son’s (2000s), he loves the prequels more.

Quigon from Episode I is still my greatest Jedi idol, while my half-decade younger little brother’s favourite was always Mace Windu from II and III.
Rebels came out less than a decade ago, and was definitely meant for kids. Vader pops in for a decent chunk of Season 2.

Why am I not surprised that your icon is Rincewind?
That is a question you’ll have to answer yourself: Why AREN’T you surprised?
Lol how does the kid know about the sparrow school (russians)
I mean, considering that for many neurodivergent people, infodumping is a love language…
It’s not the size of info-dump but the way you use it…
we had politicians here leak government secrets to chinese spies, who were playing the long con by marrying them, a few years ago. i assume it’s that.
or sex ed practical experience, i guess
i bet he’s gonna say it again in the next page
