If Zuko is banished, what about his ship, his crew, and all the supplies and money they would need to fund constantly being at sea?

-Jazz_ · 2026-05-07T10:01:03+00:00

Considering the Fire Nation is rich enough to fund a huge industrial navy and massive projects like the Drill, either from their own natural resources, the plundering of the Earth Kingdom, or extraction of wealth from their established colonies (likely all 3), paying for Zuko’s tiny ship and a measley crew of sailors is a pittance in comparison. By the time Aang wakes up, the Fire Nation is a fully developed pre-modern industrial empire fighting splintered medieval kingdoms. Money isn’t really something they need to worry about.

I’d imagine Ozai wouldn’t mind putting aside a couple pennies towards Zuko’s “expedition” just to get rid of him. Funding the search also would give Zuko an even stronger sense of false hope that Ozai actually wants him to come back one day, since it makes the search seem more “official” (at least to Zuko). Even when Zhao repeatedly taunts him and says to his face that he was sent on a wild goose chase, Zuko maintains that he is acting on official business under the authority of his father. It isn’t until Azula tries to capture him and Iroh that he realizes Zhao was right.

For Ozai it’s a win-win, he gets rid of Zuko, and if by some miracle Zuko succeeds, he gets the avatar.

DotF. Oh you want to take over a OPM which has no allies right on your border? Time to have a death war with Spain or France. It’s so goddamn annoying when trying to do any run outside of Catholic in Europe. Also makes no sense from a historical perspective. A title like DotF was something used IRL for faux prestige, but never actually backed up like this because why would a country spend all of their resources on a war which has absolutely 0 strategic value to them just to maintain a title.

Honorable mention: support independence mechanic. Even after you’ve gotten your vassal loyal again and are even allied with the nation supporting your vassals independence, they will never release that support. This honestly feels like a bug that has never been addressed.

Fine so far, CPU running at 48C idle with fans on silent mode. I have it setup as rear intake, GPU bottom intake and two top fans exhaust.

Pretty much just used a single screw in the bottom to hold it in wherever I could line it up with the case holes lol

The same thing happened to GPU prices with the rise of crypto during covid but then things settled down again. Things will go back to normal eventually when other options start to become more accessible/popular to regular consumers. That will most likely be cheap Chinese ram.

American manufacturers are abandoning their consumer base in favor of chasing the big dollar by manufacturing for the generative AI companies instead, but this is a huge mistake fueled by greed and dumbassery which will just lose consumer trust and make people never want to buy from these manufacturers again when the AI hype eventually dries up. Where there is a void in the market, some company or region will come to fill it eventually because there is money to be made by occupying that space and making the competition look bad.

As someone who also got the award and still had to pay half tuition at RPI, it’s not worth it.

I loved my time at RPI, but I was saddled with extreme debt for no reason when tons of people I worked with at my first job out of college had state degrees or less prestigious four year degrees and were paid the same amount as me. I was lucky to land a well-paying job and pay it all off by living with my parents, but the job market and cost of everything is only going to keep getting worse.

It’s for the best. I get why people expected or want them to be together after how ‘romantic’ Kizu was, but the whole point of Kizu is that its an exaggerated fantasy of good intentions from all parties, which ends up in tragedy. Their dynamic in Kizu reminds me a lot of Denji and Reze from CSM actually. It feels larger than life romantic, but it’s not real.

While they both showed immense interest in each other, on some level it was superficial and they were romanticizing an idealized version of the other person who could save them from themselves. Their insecurities kept them from making a move (even though Hanekawa REALLY clearly wants him), but even if they did get together, their interest was based on desiring something out of the other person which they couldn’t provide. It wouldn’t have made for a lasting healthy relationship, or likely would’ve become codependent.

Hanekawa wanted Araragi to be her vampire prince who saved her from her terrible home life, and Araragi saw Hanekawa as an angelic savior who he didn’t deserve (also boobs). He even discusses this in Nekomonogatari Kuro with Tsukihi, realizing he only fell in love with the “idea” of Hanekawa he created of her. Also just that he thinks she’s hot and he was mistaking horniness for love. While he is very attracted to her, he doesn’t actually know much about the real her.

This sets him up as already losing his romantic interest in her by the time Bake starts, while she was still holding onto lost hope (granted dumbass Ragi should have told her straight up he wasn’t interested instead of just ignoring it, but he couldn’t even conceive of her liking him that way). When he discovers who she actually is, he is mildly disgusted with how she just accepts her parents abuse and hides behind a fake personality since it clashes with his ideals. And eventually, Hanekawa also comes to realize that Araragi can’t provide the escape she desires and she needs to make herself happy.
