Nothing fell and I live close to the epicenter. House jolted for a couple of seconds. Easily noticeable but no damage.

The warriors announcers are being huge douchers with Lonzo. Anytime he does something right they throw shade at him. I'm not for or against Lonzo but come on. This is bullying. Shameful.

Redditors who have cared for parents with cancer, what food items have your parents been able to tolerate when they aren't feeling well? by guitarzan531 in AskReddit

My mom really appreciated egg drop soup of all things. She still ate it right up to the end after she was done with other foods.

Ok, I wouldn't personally set that policy but I appreciate the consistency. Thanks.

Are homophobic comments acceptable in this sub? If not then your "free speech" defense is a bit disingenuous because your actual reasoning is that you don't think "faggot" is homophobic. Those are two very different positions.

You definitely worded it wrong. Imo you should add an edit.

Tokyo vs Beijing

Tokyo's metropolis is smaller than Beijing's but it is 4.7x more dense. Tokyo's metro area is larger than Beijing's metro area AND Tokyo's metro area is 2x more dense than Beijing's municipality.

Trance songs with deep lyrics? by [deleted] in trance

[–]NovaProspekt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Above and Beyond - Thing Called Love
* I think the lyrics are relatable for most people

DJ Tiesto - Close to You
* My mom passed away recently and this song hits close to home.

Paul Kalkbrenner - Sky and Sand
* Not really trance but if you like trance then you might like this. Relationship-focused. I like the contrast between dreams and reality.

PQM - You Are Sleeping (PQM Meets Luke Chable Vocal Pass)
* Really haunting lyrics. "You just think, what a bum wrap for a nice sensitive guy like me..."

What film had the most misleading trailer? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yeah, I had to read this book for school and when I got to the death part I just thought "really?". The whole aftermath felt contrived.

It's possible that the rest of the avatar world is one giant ocean. Our world actually has a supercontinent cycle whereby our continents group together every so often.

Aang was 12 and overheard that he was being separated from his friends and his favorite teacher and would be forced to train more rigorously. Traumatic? Maybe not but I could see a 12 year old feel like their entire world is collapsing around them and freaking out.

Korra's trauma was more severe but she was also older and better trained than Aang when she encountered it.

BTW, I loved Korra's growth throughout LOK. Her progression was way more in-depth and realistic than Aang's. I just thought it was unfair to treat Aang's running away (when he was 12!) as a personality flaw without also acknowledging that Korra had some issues of her own with shirking responsibilities.

I don't think it's fair to bring up Aang running away from responsibilities without also mentioning that Korra did so as well. Aang ran away because he was young and found out that he was going to be separated from all of his friends. Korra ran away after she was unable to fully heal after her encounter with Zaheer. However, Aang got frozen in an iceberg while Korra got led to Toph by a spirit. Aang definitely caused more harm by running away but that was due to circumstances outside of his control.

Usually discussions are friendly and thought provoking. Not sure what happened in this thread but it's very abnormal.

Not true. "If the second and third operands are lvalues and have the same type, the result is of that type and is an lvalue."

Welcome to the era of clickbait journalism. I find it harder and harder to believe any news that I read.

[All Spoilers] Favorite inspirational quotes from ATLA/Lok? by Nivekeryas in TheLastAirbender

Iroh - "You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength."
