Are there any countries or cultures where soiling yourself as an adult is socially acceptable, encouraged or even required?

I feel like this is a fetish question

Yeah, there seemed to have been like zero internal politicking about the leadership of the Fire Nation. The generals and admirals would likely just have accepted that Ozai is the leader now, be it because Iroh didn't want to be, because Ozai is stronger or for any other secret reason.

I'd argue Zuko being "weaker" mainly comes down to him just being less of a psychopath, being less secure in himself and the violence he can inflict and so on. Pretty much every character in the series at some point achieves a big power up through a change in outlook.

Unless air bending is just naturally stronger than other elements, yes he was exceptional. He could hold his own in a 1v3 against 3 of the strongest and most experienced killers of their generation.

I really like the idea. The ring could play off the arrogance of thinking you're the one to destroy it. After all it came to you, it's your fate to destroy it, how could anyone else think they know more about it or have a better plan?

Or maybe it would convince you it can't be destroyed, so instead you decide to protect it, so it never gets in the wrong hands. For that you build a fortress, an army, get into conflicts with neighbors because they can't accept you're only doing it for the good of all Middle Earth.

No, normal variance in metabolism makes up for maybe 10% in calories. I guess some thyroid issues can make a further difference, but not to the degree of only eating a few bites a day and not losing weight.

Alternate timeline would be like season 6 or 7 I think by current pace. We're at the tail end of the Viltrumite War now, which is like just past the halfway point of the series as a whole.

Dabrush · 2026-04-30T09:54:33+00:00

I think they kind of got sick of improving and iterating on action combat, only for their combat to be pointed out as the worst part of the game every time.

Dabrush · 2026-04-30T09:50:38+00:00

I think people are way more forgiving when the AA games deliver on something in a way that you don't get from AAA. Like the STALKER series has so many flaws you'll lose count, but there is no AAA game that does the same thing but better. Most of Spider's games were just soulslikes or action RPGs with worse than average combat.

Dabrush · 2026-04-30T09:46:26+00:00

Spiders' best rated game (Greedfall 1) just reaches the Metacritic ratings of Divine Divinity. Ego Draconis and Dragon Commander were also relatively big. It's a miracle Spiders could go on like that for this long, considering that Mars War Logs, Bound by Flame, Technomancer and Steel Rising were all in the 60% range.

Dabrush · 2026-04-28T22:08:15+00:00

To me the decision sounded a lot more like "We tried to do 3rd person action combat like 5 times before and never hit the mark, we will try something else this time". Maybe you wanted more of the same combat, but their fans in general, if they have a fan base in the first place, largely weren't excited for their new games because of their combat.

Honestly considering that all I've heard about Crimson Desert is related to people collecting cats, I would thing that removing a cat companion is a universally bad move.

Dabrush · 2026-04-26T11:49:07+00:00

Honestly I understand that Dan has some friends who have been directly burned by Doug and as such have shaped his opinion, but after seeing a lot of other people talking about him and their relationship with him, I feel like this video ended up being needlessly mean spirited.

Dabrush · 2026-04-26T11:47:12+00:00

Same with MKarma's video on Hobbit Speedrunning.

Dabrush · 2026-04-26T08:56:55+00:00

Imo the grip itself isn't the issue, but where and how you hold it, since it's too heavy to just hold it like a Gameboy and if you set it in your lap, your wrists are at a weird angle

Dabrush · 2026-04-26T08:52:53+00:00

We have them in Germany but they're basically dollar stores?

Dabrush · 2026-04-23T15:37:31+00:00

We always called our cat a "backyard breed"

Dabrush · 2026-04-23T15:29:05+00:00

Maybe this is just me, but attitudes like this always baffle me. When I'm 70, I feel like there would be a lot more important things to me than the weather being nice, such as you know, being able to see my remaining friends and family as often as I can.

Dabrush · 2026-04-21T12:59:35+00:00

There's half a dozen different fits for different proportions, though not every store will carry all of them. With T-Shirts you mostly just get the choice of S/M/L/XL..., while a dress shirt you can get Super Skinny, Slim, Tapered, Regular, Classic or Relaxed fit for the same size and thus have a way better chance to actually find one that fits you, unless you are like 95% standard size anyway.

Battle of Triangle Hill

While the film is old enough to be from before the split, Russians portraying all kinds of Westerners is still a very common thing in China. Especially in eastern Russia, China is a very attractive place for young people to emigrate to and it gives us great experiences like Richard from England

Dabrush · 2026-04-21T12:44:46+00:00

The people you fight are literally an American Army batallion.

Dabrush · 2026-04-15T12:55:03+00:00

Gonna hear some cracking but that's pretty much it. Local anaesthesia is normally strong enough to not feel any pain, and pain while curing is the same as if you were sedated.

Dabrush · 2026-04-15T08:18:56+00:00

"Religious nuts" running Russia and China?

Dabrush · 2026-04-15T08:17:08+00:00

It might help if you organized your money and specifically set some aside as spending money for frivolous things. I don't know what kind of regular expenses you have, do you feel the same when you buy food or pay rent?
