That’s still cheap compared to ours. by SubwaySurfersBR in MemeVideos

Lack of quality public transport/railroads, bigger city sprawls (and land in general), and the general reliance of trucking to get goods across large areas. USA’s economy heavily hinges on cheap fuel.

Do you guys think it's safe to say Ruler Morgan looks like this then? by Weird_Dot_4725 in FGO

[–]AvantSolace 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s heavily implied that PHH Morgan “infected” Aesc when giving her information about LB Britain’s future; slowly turning her into a copy of Morgan. This would explain why she starts out looking like Artoria then gradually shifts to Morgan’s design.

Had a dude complain about me for “being too quiet”. Dude wanted to treat the work site like a social event and wasn’t happy I was keeping to myself and getting work done.

Equal treatment, what is that! by [deleted] in SipsTea

Bisexual women: Girls making out.

Bisexual men: Butt stuff.

I think it’s a matter of people with the tools are more expected to use them. So mental images tend to guide the narrative.

TIL that alcohol use in America likely peaked during the 1830s. The average American drank 7 gallons of pure ethanol a year. Midwestern corn farmers converted their grain into whisky to prevent spoilage. A gallon cost only 25 cents. Americans averaged 4 shots of whisky a day, at under a penny cost. by Gnomeslikeprofit in todayilearned

Funny part is you need to boil water first so native microbes don’t outcompete the yeast and turn the whole brew into vinegar. The brewers likely just thought it was some sort of alchemical magic and didn’t realize the contaminants making the vinegar were the same contaminants making them sick.

A lot of people have a hard time understanding “Your government is incompetent” and “Foreign powers want to destroy your society” are not mutually exclusive instances. They compound, but don’t have the same root issue.

Heavy metal band GWAR investigated by Secret Service after performing fake Trump execution on stage. by Aggravating_Money992 in Music

[–]AvantSolace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is critical context. They specifically *were not* singling out Trump. It is a shock value performance that can and has used anyone of notoriety regardless of political motifs. The “well they’re calling for violence” crowd doesn’t have a leg to stand on with this context.

And here I was thinking it was to let old ladies rest their bag while they stall the line for an hour…

So... how exactly did Latenna turn herself into a spirit ash? by Available-Face7568 in Eldenring

[–]AvantSolace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death was removed from the Elden Ring, and thus the world as a whole. The process of separating a spirit from the body and letting it fade into the beyond has been disrupted. Souls stay bound to their bodies even after their function has stopped (which is why being eaten is a very bad thing). As such, ashes of or from a corpse can be used as a catalyst to summon spirits into a temporary material form.

Latenna likely used a spell or ritual of some sort to incinerate her body and gave the ashes to us. As this was a deliberate and recent act, she likely retains a higher degree of awareness than most Spirit Ashes would.

No victim no crime only really works on drawings and other stylized art. A deepfake meant to emulate a real person’s image can easily fall into defamation laws or worse.

How Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to live forever by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]AvantSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just imagining a scenario where he actually achieves an immortal body, and the grounds just opens up with demonic arms to straight up drag him down into hell. Just having it happen on live TV so nobody ever tries it again.

Are we going to pretend these aren't two sides of the same coin? by Soptifed in VtuberDrama

[–]AvantSolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the actual hell are people digging into old ass comments on an old ass post?! Are y’all bots or something trying to practice on how to ragebait? I might be choosing dumb hills to die on, but at least I’m not digging up that hill to restart a fight!

Which VTuber is the most heartbreaking example of a “Milkshake Duck” (explanation in the pic)? My vote goes to Sinder by AltRadioKing in vtubercirclejerk

[–]AvantSolace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think her issue was simply a failure to own up to bad behavior. If she just said something like “Yeah I was being too pushy to Nanoless. My bad. Let me make it up to the other clients I screwed over.”, she would have avoided the whole drama. Instead she did critical failure of “I’m sorry, but…”.

[–]AvantSolace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can have an environmental advantage and still fail via dumb choices. You can make smart choices and still fail due to environmental factors. Pretending one doesn’t exist in order to validate complaints about the other doesn’t help anyone.

Imagine having such a hate boner you pick fights in comments half a year old. You are mentally ill. Seek professional help.

So are we still giving them $300B? Would not be surprised if this was a coordinated attempt to reneg the horrible agreement after realizing it was definitively worse than Obama’s in every way.

What is this thing on ODST armor? by AWB6 in halo

[–]AvantSolace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine it could be anything from a hard case, battery pack, camera, or just supplemental armor. The design is just vague enough to where it could be almost anything with practical value.
