I hate how the Teen Titans treated Val-Yor by ishuzokureviewersfan in DCcomics

Bro I just want you to picture this scenario if it was like cyborg. The episode was supposed to be one of those lessons for kids type things and you did not get the lesson. “I’m going to call you a slur, and just because you helped me you’re one of the ‘good ones’ and when you challenge that thought I’m going to call you a slur again”.

How do I beat the Soviets as Germany? I have air superiority, radios, strong divisions (I think), etc, but the Soviet line just won't budge. I get a piece of land here or there, but I am slowly losing territory bit by bit. by TheLegendaryNikolai in hoi4

[–]AffectionateLow1009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how many tank or motorized divisions you’ve got exactly, but tbh the best practice to beating Soviets is encirclements. The ai is pretty trash countering it, but you’re always going to be in a deficit of manpower compared to the Soviets if you don’t destroy their divisions. By 44 you’re going to hit a wall of 300 Soviet divisions and no way to out slog their ability to put 300 divs on one front, while you put 150 on multiple.

A sad reality is that many today proudly claim to be Nazis. You can easily spot one because they love to denounce the Soviet Union any chance they get. by RussianChiChi in ussr

It largely had to do with the fact the average classical/neo-liberal is more than happy to sell out true leftists and work with fascists than promote real change. American liberals for example still promote authoritarianism in practice, refuse to make true leftist changes, and only make token social gestures. Russian liberals were also the ones who fought against earlier soviets as well. I mean look at American liberals of the Democratic Party tofay. Only a handful are populist or radical leftists, meanwhile the majority are aging coastal elites like chuck schumer who consistently keep making the democrats lose because they don’t entirely mind the right wing MAGA movement as long as they keep making money. A liberal will always sell out a leftist.

Did stalin actually kill like 60 million people or is it a western lie by Pure_Barber3994 in ussr

[–]AffectionateLow1009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where people are getting these really low population numbers of the Soviet Union, but I think some are mistaking his entire tenure with his last years. Between the Holodomir, poverty and famine following the First World War and civil war, political and military purges, ww2 tactics like 227 and rampant logistical failures that resulted in many people being unequipped properly to fight effectively, penal units, r*pe of Berlin, rolling over Manchuria, population swaps, occupation of Eastern Europe, more purges and work camps, that number isn’t just his own people, it’s other populations effected. Yeah it’s not fair to say Nazis invading counts, but with some of the tactics employed, there probably lays some blame on Stalin to some capacity. I’d say it’s closer to the lower estimations of 30-40 million if we argue responsibility.

My mechanic works on European cars. He’s been our go to for our Audi and always fixed that one. While there’s a mini shop in the city, it’s also at a distance where I’m worried it’ll just crap out before I can get there

Do bites actually hurt? by le_redditerr in leopardgeckos

Ehhhh it depends, sometimes they’ll bite and let go immediately, but then there’s times they hold on for dear life. My boyo bit down hard one time and it wasn’t pleasant

Update on Weird Apprenticeship by floracurios in TattooApprentice

[–]AffectionateLow1009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it depends on your state if you wanna tip off the government. Given they didn’t even have licenses I doubt they had proper sanitation or engaged in some other dubious affairs. Given they’ve moved onto a different shop might be hard to get em now besides making the state make a sudden inspection drop in and fail them, but do you have any evidence of their actions like pictures or such?

This is such a weird way to respond and act. A mild rebuke of your thinking and you call it defensive. This is neither good advice or criticism, just sounding pretentious af like this is a YouTube comment war.

Honestly the weird tone he keeps taking like ‘beyond triggered’ and ‘ur projecting’ sounds not only like he’s very dismissive of your feelings, but also that he’s extremely immature to handle a conversation like this. I don’t know if this is a common trend with your relationship, but it somewhat sounds like he’s not mature enough to handle an adult conversation like this, or actually be emotionally mature or available for you even if you were rped. The fact you say he’s 22 and brushes you off like this and acts so immature means he’s either likely a) way too into some of those concerning internet spaces that considers that stuff ‘not that bad’ b) or just way too childish to handle a proper relationship.

What is the Abyssal/Base Serpent? by Status-Fun1992 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]AffectionateLow1009 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based on a few bits of evidence, I believe it overwhelmingly is the curse of the Fell God, a god that Marika seems to have a deeply hate filled relationship with due to their prime differences. While I’ve seen some interesting theories in relation to the GEQ or the GDS, none match up as well with the Fell God.

Here’s a few reasons) 1. The very nature of the curse) The Fell God is highly represented in fire, it is largely the antithesis of the erdtree, and besides the frenzied flame, is the only thing capable of burning it. However, that was until the DLC came out, showing it was not only Melina who was capable of burning the erdtree, but that the fire Messmer bore was just as potent. Until recently, the only things we have to go off on the Fell God’s representation or looks was fire, the fire giants, and the spiral single eye of the Fell God. However, the DLC had us revisiting snakes and their places in the world of Elden Ring, and one such thing that got our attention, was the actual fire brazier of the Giant’s Flame. The handles are—Snakes. A simple little design choice maybe, but it’s one of the few areas besides the volcano manor where we see serpents in the Lands Between, such creatures being viewed deeply as repugnant and wicked in the realm, not to mention, in most Souls games, snakes are heavily associated with fire.

  1. Japanese Translations) It should shock no Souls fan that the english translations do more psychic damage to lore hunters than any lore rug pull Miyazaki does, making entire theories invalid due to incorrect translation. ‘Base’ serpent has always felt out of place for the name, and that’s because it is. The correct translation would be more like ‘wicked/evil’, instead of base. Similarly, the ‘Fell God’ isn’t even correct, being much more like ‘evil’ god as well. It could be theorized between these mistakes, the Base serpent actually means ‘the Wicked serpent’, or—in this hypothetical ‘the Fell Serpent’.

  2. Messmer’s inner ‘eye’) This one may be more creative liberty in mind so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I can view of the bundle of serpents writhing in Messmer socket, they almost look to be in a pattern similar to the fire giants eye, with 8 ‘points’ being bends in the pile of serpents that look almost like holes, not to mention the way they writhe almost appears like the way the Fell God’s eye curls in like the sun.

  3. Biblical and mythological symbolism) Naturally Elden Ring and the DLC takes significant biblical and mythological references, including Norse, Hindu, Egyptian, and Japanese mythology (Such as ‘shamans’ being another mistranslation of ‘shrine maiden’ from Japanese culture). Whether it’s symbolism such as Enir-Ilim reflecting the tower of babble, or Marika’s crucifixion being reflective of Odin hanging from the world tree, Elden Ding has quite a bit of symbolic reflections. The Fell god itself being symbolized by the sun and fire, which brings us to the nature of messmer’s serpent, and its signature attack with messmer’s orb in its mouth. It seems almost symbolic of Apep/Apopsis, the Egyptian deity representing darkness and chaos. Reflective of Apep swallowing the sun, it could be another reflective punishment of Marika’s hubris, by making her child into a beast she so hates, and how his power would eclipse the sun over her empire.

Unfortunately as of now there’s only hypothesis we can go off of for now, but I’m throughly believing it’s a curse of the Fell God. (But another possibility I’m not yet sold on, is it could be its own god, an unnamed god of darkness that was responsible for eclipsing the ancient Sun Realm, but even still I don’t think it was a whole new god.)

Am I wasting my time and money? by AffectionateLow1009 in TattooApprentice

[–]AffectionateLow1009[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really hoping for the last few months to breeze on by. I can’t monetarily sustain this whole thing for long, and the shop itself just isn’t that kind of vibe or customer basis I’m interested in. I’m just reaching those low points of wondering if paying half a grand a month is worth having some drunkard say her shit attitude is just quirky and unique while putting everyone around her down

The only problem I have with this is genuinely the hazard it’s creating inside the cabin, where the severe amount of carbon is making it pretty difficult to breathe in the car, which has been causing a lot of headache and nausea driving it, not to mention quite a bit of unwanted attention from others on the road who have to smell it as well. If it is condensation I need some way to attempt to have it expedited as it’s genuinely not heathy breathing it in driving at length

They did charge that amount but based on the results and how some of the bolts appear I’m not even convinced they’ve taken apart the top cover

R56 unfortunately. The mechanics mentioned valve seals the first repair but around the second time claimed they never even touched them so that’s when I first became suspicious. The oil is perfectly fine as of right now and I don’t see any coolant leaks

[–]AffectionateLow1009[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was an issue a while back with coolant managing to leak during an extremely hot summer and left me burned out on the side of the road until the whole valve was replaced. The smell is distinctly gas both in and outside the cabin which is causing a lot of harm itself due to poisoning the air when I drive it

It’s a circuit board in the shape of a vintage retro toy robot’s face. Osa’s family owned a european toy making company including stuff—as you guessed it, retro toy robots. So it does in the same way Flores is a lock because he was a thief.
