It’s suggesting that Vader’s mask caused him to mistake Luke as his son, which would be funny because of the whole plot revolving around Luke being Vader’s kid (and Luke being Leia’s brother — which is even funnier due to the sexual chemistry the two characters originally shared).
TL;DR don’t read too much into it. It’s only a joke.
According to my elementary /middle school-aged kids, it seems they are in fact learning the metric system in school. And this is in a red state in the south. 🤷♂️

What you describe resonates with me deeply because I have been suffering a lot of what your friend seems to be going through now: depression, anxiety, burnout. They feed into each other and are very debilitating disorders. I hope your friend finds their life preserver and can hang in there.
PS. All content is dangerous content to depressed and suicidal people.
I wish I could feature comments. As someone who is still going through burnout recovery, what you and @UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world are saying are both true and important for people to realize.
The only thing I would like to add is that recovery can and will take a very long time, and people need to allow themselves patience and grace during this process.
Therapy helps, and even if you can’t afford it, ask your therapist of choice if they have a sliding scale rate. This is a rate they charge based on what you can afford. It doesn’t cost anything to at least ask.

Us Lemmy dudebros obviously cannot fully appreciate your level of rage-baiting.
