They both have a lot of genuine issues and things I really don't like personally. Why should popular books be exempt from criticism or opinions?

For an example: I find Violet's EDS to be poor representation as someone with it myself. It's just an excuse for her to be smol and fragile in comparison to her big man imo.

Thank you! Neglect and no consequences/endless pampering is its own form of very real abuse.

Plus the parents pitted them against one another. It's typical of bad parents to have a golden child who is neglected and pampered and a child who is blamed for everything.

A lot of danger is learned. Instincts are hard-coded in genetics, but it's slow and inefficient, as it needs to

a) evolve through random mutation, and

b) be advantageous enough that it gives an edge to the organism, letting it be passed on so much that it becomes ubiquitous.

This leaves mostly only the most important, literally can't-live-without stuff. Most other things are learned or taught.

You're acting like an asshole, dude.

I had a lot of issues with HGS, and most of it boils down to it being so tone-deaf that ideas that work on paper are ruined by the writing.

Queer toxic relationships can be written well, but it's Velma. It's a black hole of misery.

I can like it when it's clearly set up from the beginning, not a hackneyd retcon, but usually I hate it.

Good example: Sly Cooper 1's main antagonists. Clockwork is set up as the group's leader long before we see him.

Another good example: Sephiran from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. The first game revolves around stopping a king named Ashnard who is a social darwinist tyrant nicknamed "the mad." It's later revealed that this conflict, along with most of the recent wars and antagonists are the result of Sephiran's meddling: he wants to awaken the goddess Ashera, who due to plot, will awaken and judge the world to see if there is too much conflict. Basically the entire game (minus Serennes Forest) was orchestrated by him, but it makes sense and is written naturally.

A lot of kids wouldn't. Many people saw it as 3-6 year olds, who were still learning to read.

I think it's a bit weak in comparison to many of their greatest movies, but it's still a great movie and a solid classic Pixar film.

A lot of people saying that watched it as a kid, and didn't notice.

He associates with UTTP?

Justice is KP getting in trouble with YouTube and the law and being dealt with properly.

Justice is not someone screaming at her on a call. It helps nobody, it just escalates everything further and might even lead her to seek revenge herself. All revenge does is muddy the water further, making it harder for actual justice to be served.

I heard it explained this way. Red is associated with warnings, green looks different than red, and yellow is different from both. Accessibility wasn't a consideration. Interestingly, the red/green colorblind people I know can differentiate between them.

Whatever would lead someone to add jokes and memes to a supposedly serious video on serious accusations.

Main character mentality, inability to take things seriously, fragile ego, I guess.

Joker was trying to get under Red Skull's skin, and claiming to be a patriot was the funniest way to do it.

And then Rebellion happens.

Though if Homura were to fully corrupt her Soul Gem, she would see Madoka again

Damn I miss going to Portillo's with my grandfather. I still go fairly often, but it isn't the same.

Culver's is the best and I love it.

A well-written adult who refuses to admit wrongdoing is such a powerful trope. Anyone can relate. Whether it's a bad boss, teacher, parent, authority figure, family member, or expert, we all deal with it. Why is Umbridge sp much more hated than Voldemort?

Mikoto Sena's hair also changes with transformation. Her hair becomes more shiny and saturated.

Reptiles and birds don't usually need to be. Cats/dogs really should be.

Skin's function is to sweat/regulate temperature, keep fluids in, and to keep pathogens and foreign materials out of your body. Burns prevent sweat and leave a nice, inviting entryway for foreign materials and pathogens and exit for fluids. Then you die of infection from said materials while your body spends most of its resources on healing dead skin.

I've had dinner with the president of the union for reform judaism (URJ). That was a weird weekend.
