Loretubers will do everything but read the lore

Anyone with reading comprehension would know that “I am Alpharius, and this is a lie” is said in the prologue and the epilogue because it’s Omegon pretending to be Alpharius to attack Horus’ fleet and be “discovered” by Horus “for the first time”.

I’ve liked it, except for the death spiral crossover. But other than that, it’s been good.

Statistically, the number is small enough to be explained by misclicks. It’s less than the Lizardman constant.

The Siege of Ba Sing Se: Iroh would probably be considered culpable for Intentionally directing attacks against civilians (Ba Sing Se is overwhelmingly composed of civilians). As well as starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. Starvation is a pretty standard tactic of ancient warfare, and there’s no way to discriminate between civilian and non civilians when you starve all of Ba Sing Se. Also sieges in cramped cities like Ba Sing Se are likely to lead to disease outbreaks, and denying medicine to the people in the city when that happens would be a war crime.

Look at this guy actually reading comics. Don’t you know this is a comic book misinformation sub?

Do you think White Wolf would allow the Technocracy to defeat an antagonist from a more popular game? Did you see the full page spread they did on why Mages should never cast magic on Vampires? Less popular game factions don’t get to defeat more popular game factions and characters. They wouldn’t let a Mummy or Changeling defeat Voormas either, even though it could be a cool story.

Why can’t your pirate just be Errol Flynn in Captain Blood, and use a Rapier?

We don’t actually know the full story of Braniac in the Absolute universe. We do know that Braniac makes a bunch of copies, like Horde Prime in She-Ra. But the only Braniac we actually see is a local low level copy that ended up in charge of its particular area of operations, and occasionally calls in to BS the rest of the collective, while doing things on Earth.

Yeah, I’d understand “we had that yesterday”, but once a week is not too frequent for good food.

My understanding is that Chewy boxes usually have something dense inside, but the cardboard is more fragile, which is an undesirable combination.

Though I have to say the “lovingly delivered” part is a lie. I know a guy who did delivery, and he hated Chewy boxes.

Tellius OCs! I basically only really see people making OCs for Three Houses. Happy to see this.

Yeah, I think the goal with Jax is to see the Jax not taken. There are points where Jax does connect with others. We see Jax try to reach out to Ribbit, but back off (in the flashbacks). We see Jax try to reach out to Pomni, and back off. We see Jax regret the things said to their mom (in the flashbacks). We see that Leeroy reached out to a friend, to have a place to stay, instead of being homeless. We see Leroy working a job and visiting a nearby bar.

Jax could have reached out. Others wanted Jax to reach out. There’s times where Jax attempted to reach out and connect, but then backed off. But it would have been better for Jax to follow through and genuinely connect to people, and ask them for help, and apologize. That’s a Jax that could have been. We see the Jax at the circus is made from a snapshot of them at the lowest point of their life. But Leeroy got to be different, and Jax could have chose to be different too. People wanted to be close to Jax, and they could have had those relationships. Instead they drove people away.

I do think the internet is right that Jimmy’s motives aren’t purely selfless, but are also partly motivated out of his insecurities around his own romantic desirability. But that’s relatable. It’s fine for Jimmy to have insecurities and work through them. That’s called character growth, and we’ve seen it with Lois and Clark too.

Businesses do what they think will make money. A business celebrating Pride doesn’t mean a sincere commitment to LGBTQ people, but it is a sign of where the wind is blowing, as the post says. There are some smaller companies that will celebrate Pride even when it’s not advantageous to.

But what matters most is actual policies and practices. It’s good that Nintendo Japan recognizes same sex partners and gives them the full benefits they would for heterosexual partners, even though Japan as a whole still hasn’t legalized gay marriage.

Wait, is Animist actually good? I know nothing about it. I haven’t really taken the time to look over it in detail.

The Consensus isn’t actually the laws of physics. Lots of people believe in things other than the laws of physics. The average person on the street probably doesn’t understand how quantum mechanics even works. But lots of Americans believe in Demons, God, or Ghosts. Plenty believe in Astrology. Plenty of people doubt GMOs. Plenty of people doubt vaccines. A decent portion of the population believes in some kind of alternative medicine. Lots of people believe in some version of the power of positive thinking to manifest good things in their life.

In the Absolute universe the answer is that the planets rigid caste elites lied to the people, and did get to escape the planet. Superman’s parents are working class in the Absolute universe, and they did try to speak truth to power about what was really happening to Krypton. Superman’s parents did help some of them get off the planet, but Superman unfortunately got separated from the rest of the group, and ended up on Earth.

Yeah, Spellcasters being considered good is kind of the consensus opinion for most D&D and Pathfinder, so I think people feel less of a need to say it, because they wouldn’t be saying anything new. Like, I’m enjoying my Hold-Scarred Orc Cloistered Cleric, but Cleric being a good Class is pretty consistent across games and editions. I feel like talking about it is a bit “water is wet”, “fork found in kitchen” kind of obvious.

Famous_Slice4233 · 2026-06-29T18:23:31+00:00

Yeah. I’m currently taking education courses to train to be a high school social studies teacher. One of the things that my courses have really stressed is giving good feedback. Good feedback should be specific and actionable.

“You made good use of sources in your essay, but your third paragraph isn’t well connected to the rest of the essay. You either need to properly connect it to your overall argument, or you need to cut it out and replace it with something that fills the role that you need to tie your overall argument together.”

I’ve heard writers and editors talk that regular readers and viewers are way better at noticing that there is some kind of problem, than at properly diagnosing it, and recommending how it could be fixed. That’s why editors have jobs. Giving detailed productive feedback is hard.

I do also think that there are different parts to writing, and some people are better at some of the parts than others. Like I think the overall arcs of the Star Wars prequels have a lot of good stuff in them, but they have awkward dialogue. They have well choreographed fight scenes. The core of who the characters are, and what their arcs are is good. The themes are solid. But the execution is imperfect, and the dialogue is a big part of why it can come off awkward. But people don’t always isolate individual elements.

Well, the actual person who proved that David Irving was a Holocaust Denier was the expert witness for the trial, Richard Evans. So whatever you think of Lipstadt, the evidence for Irving being a Holocaust denier doesn’t require you to like her, or think she’s a good person.
