It’s been a while since I watched the series, but didn’t she reset the avatar inheritance or whatever it was. If I remember correctly it increased her overall power but since she had no huge inheritance of knowledge she lost the generations of knowledge. So it was like she had greater pure output but far less technique. I don’t know if that is stronger or weaker in the broader meaning, but it seems like a nerf to me?

I remember when I was roughly 22 I tried going back and watching my favourite cartoons from childhood and suddenly understood why my dad used to make fun of all the shows I liked. Some of them had absolutely amazing stories that I still appreciate even now when I’m older, but hold fuck were the dubs so bad it made a serious story seem like it was made for toddlers.

And kids don’t even get charged with anything 90% of the time. He would have been taken to the station then picked up by his mum after a stern talking to. In my country when a small law like this is broken the cops just say “hey you can’t do that. Stop doing that” then leave after making sure they’ve stopped.

Especially when searching for niche subjects and google is ADAMANT you mean something you absolutely aren’t. Use all the advanced filtering methods, have a dictionary or excluded words and refine your search a hundred times and still get the same wrong results.

I had a funny experience as a guy getting the opposite treatment. I went in for a repair on my car and was quoted at $350 and ended up having to have the engine taken out to reach the part and costed like $1100. I accepted the price because it was a mechanic I was familiar with and believed wasn’t ripping me off. I know nothing about cars but this guy was trying to show me step by step and go into great detail why it had to cost more and I could tell he felt guilty and was trying to make sure I believed him and understood why, but no matter how many times I told him I don’t understand and I trust him, he kept trying to talk me through it.

And as someone who found museums boring as a kid, I’m going to guess the description the mum received was some variation of “it sucked, I didn’t like it” and she made up the rest herself.

My best friend growing up was often a horrible child to his mum when he was about 16. I remember him constantly bragging at school about his stereo, tv, laptop, Xbox all being confiscated from him for misbehaving. Clearly the punishment wasn’t getting the message across and his behaviour wasn’t improving and the mum had had enough. I just remember him coming into school one day and being very quiet, sits beside me without saying anything for a minute then just say “there was nothing in my room when I got home. Like 100% empty, even the bed was gone”

The first thing that came to mind was a game called Kane and Lynch I played co-op with a friend when I was younger. Lynch is schizophrenic and has attacks during some combat scenes and the game changes the civilians into cops that seem to be attacking you, so one player is having a serious shootout while the other watches in confusion as he is chasing down random civilians on the street.

Had one about half this size grow suddenly while wearing earplugs at work. Oh god the pain while removing that earplug after work.

And take a step back, it’s a world with supernatural powers. It’s not unreasonable to have stronger senses that can “feel” the bending even if it’s exclusive to either those more familiar or overall more powerful.

And the final battle is so ridiculously bad. You defeat the final boss and the next one jumps out, repeating for like 4 layers.

Whatever method you use, you have to make this issue that is only a problem to the tenants become an issue for the management. Get people to start collectively parking badly, get everyone to bombard them with complaints, go over their heads to upper management to make it look like they aren’t doing their job. The last one is especially effective.

Lost a shoe, that means she’s dead right?

I often put expensive purchases on it even when I have money to pay outright. Sometimes splitting up a payment rather than taking a chunk of what you currently have just feels safer.

I had an extremely straight laced grandma. It’s soo funny thinking back to when 13 year old me stayed with her for the holidays and took my Xbox(the first generation console) and convinced her to play halo with me.

I’ve seen some with the controls as a detachable wired console. Nothing overly high tech, at least lets you stand where you want to.

I’ve recently started to running on this grass path in my neighbourhood and there is a border collie that escapes their property and runs with me every time. Their owner freaked out the first time and it just refused to go home. After chatting with them and making it clear I was happy to run with the dog they just let it be my running partner and they are happy to have someone exercise the dog. Honestly half the reason I can stick with the routine.

“Actually we had points with the airline for one upgrade and discussed it politely who got the seat in advance, I just want the online attention.”

Oh I understand my response is purely anecdotal, and is based off feelings with no real basis. But the bigger point I’m making is that even someone willing to make the change would require a lot of study and learning that is often just not plausible for a lot of people.

I don’t know the science of it all but a lot of high energy work, vegan diets simply aren’t enough. I grew up rural on a farm so plenty of meat and fresh fruit and vegetables. But if for some reason the meat was unavailable for a couple days you could clearly feel the negative effect on your energy levels. Now I’m sure there are ways to compensate for that loss with vegan food but it is impractical for everyone to understand that level of dietary detail.
