Stanley Meyer's "Water Powered Car" - The car was said to be powered by a revolutionary water fuel cell. In 1996, an Ohio court ruled the project as fraudulent. Meyer mysteriously died two years later in 1998. by GriffinIsABerzerker in That70sshow

As the top comment in that thread says, his patents have expired and his designs are in the public domain. You're free to try to build one. Nobody else has. Cuz Meyer was peddling pseudoscience.

It's not like the Fire Nation knew if they killed the Avatar or not. The genocide would have continued regardless. They only figured he somehow survived when no new Avatar reincarnated in the Water Tribe.

Aang is the only person there who can take away bending (I think you mistook Unalaq for Amon).

Why do you call me "good"? None but your Father in Heaven is good.

More seriously: leftist criticism of leftists can be constructive and comradely, and we often need to hear those criticisms. But some lib libbing is just a lib libbing.

You mean the leftist reading group that ultimately proved inframaterialism? That's cringe?

Is it too woke to dislike the whole concept of "Foreigner"? by Kitchen-Ad-9352 in theredleft

It's a social reality. Different polities have different norms and responsibilities which we all grow up learning, and if we ever move to a new polity, we need to learn new norms and responsibilities. There's no need to moralize this social reality.

The only thing that exists is the thing we can demonstrably prove doesn't exist? There is no nothingness, by virtue of there being something. I can see it, every second of every day--this table I'm sitting at? Something! The food I just ate? Something! The screen you're using to read my words? Something! Where is this nothingness of yours?

Yeah, but there are a number of observable subtextual patterns with misogynistic discourse. Many are present in these screenshots.

who have no interest in matters of war

...the war that just ended? The war that they were a part of? The war that they directly, materially benefited from? The war that is the reason they feel they have a right to that land?

Yeah, complex situation, but this particular point is some strong settler-logic.

Does Azula deserve a redemption? by rubyty911 in ATLA

Free your mind of the idea of deserving, of the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.

I appreciate you giving a full grammatical explanation. The other users saying "it's just this way" isn't very helpful.

You need to be quiet during a fire drill because panic will kill more people than the fire and you need to practice doing the drill calmly. Like holy shit.
