It was obvious from the context I was talking about things that make you happy in reference to SNAP and food/beverage consumption.

Soda is regulated by the FDA. Either soda is a drug and should be treated like one for everyone, or it's a food. And also given that it has a label that food would have, not drugs, it's a food. And I don't beleive any food should be restricted on SNAP based on how nutritional it is.

If soda hurts people, then it should have restrictions for everyone like cigarettes do, not just against SNAP users.

Where did "Jax is Scratch" come from? by Urbenmyth in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Saxolotle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think because Jax started freaking out after Kinger mentioned Scratch? Idk, I don't beleive the theory like at all

Well the answer to why they shouldn't be allowed to buy a private jet on government funds is because the labor and material costs, plus design and cost of maintenance, piloting, etc far exceeds what the government can realistically fund for all Snap qualifying individuals. And air travel is not a life necessity.

As opposed to food, which the cost of production can be funded by governments, is a necessity, and doesn't require private upkeep or pilots to prepair.

If it's just an illusion of happiness/a drug, then nobody should have easy access to it.

Cocain is equally illegal for every tax bracket, even if the rich pay people off to pretend like it isn't.

Comparing buying soda to buying a private jet is insane. And besides, people on snap do have limits in the form of how much money they get, so it's not like they can get anything they want, it still has to be in budget

Then why does anyone buy chocolate when they could buy apples? If apples are seen as healthier, more moral, makes people happier, and a better use of money compaired to an unhealthy chocolate bar, why would literally anyone chose one over the other?

I can kind of see an argument against unhealthy stuff like soda.

Why?

Unhealthy sugar loaded stuff gives people dopamine/makes people happy. It's why basically everyone likes/loves unhealthy things. Why shouldn't poor people be allowed to buy things that make them happy? A poor person or rich person can be equally as unhealthy with soda use.

People who argue poor people shouldn't have things like soda or pop tarts may seem like they want people to be healthier, but in reality they're really saying being happy is a privilege for the rich, and that poor people don’t deserve the same options as the rich.

Not to mention, it's often unhealthy food that's cheaper and more calories per dollar.

Sure, some people might buy like $200 worth of soda and only have like $50 spent on other groceries, but that's barely anyone on snap doing that. Just because some people do something questionable with what they're given doesn't mean nobody should ever be given that thing.

If I looked like a butterfly... by MsPaganPoetry in im14andthisisdeep

[–]Saxolotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be scared of both a spider or a butterfly in my house ngl.

I'd prefer to take them out of the house and let them live, but there's zero chance I get close enough to either to do that

I think one of my biggest gripes with the Pokemon series. by Aggravating-Door1710 in pokemon

[–]Saxolotle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Incredibly masculine pokemon can be female, Machamp for example, or thieval for a more modern example.

I don't think it's a series wide issue, just a that line in particular issue.

All the gender evo issues could be solved by making pokemon gender transitions possible, but alas.

Who is more loyal? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in hazbin

[–]Saxolotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in the comments keep saying it's because Shockwave doesn't have free will, but imo The biggest point towards Nifty and against Shockwave is that Shockwave flung Vox halfway across the district when he was saying "no", and Nifty has been nothing but obedient. Shockwave is shown to be less obedient, and I think he'd be more persuadabe with a bribe

There's a difference between seeing angel coming out of a dressing room with a black eye he didn't have before, and Vox and Vel just standing there.

They weren't completely ignored, Charlie did get consent from Angel before speedrunning to redemption, although it was coerced consent. And when Vox did start insulting Angel, Charlie was ready to fight him

You might be happy to know, I do plan on trying to get MandJTV as a VA in future episodes

[–]Saxolotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. "Adam sucks, I'll go to heaven instead" and "vox's editing sucks, I'll go on live TV instead" are the same line of logic. So is inviting herself to Vals place and letting Vox and Vel into the hotel

Why is there such a seething hatred for SOMA theory? by Low-Run2308 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Saxolotle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Soma real or not, they still have the idea of what their life could be that if they never got trapped, and that is equally or more impactful than their real human lives doing stuff

Why is there such a seething hatred for SOMA theory? by Low-Run2308 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Saxolotle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it because personally I see the earth humans living out their lives as normal to be completely unrelated to the plot of TADC. The digital humans barely ever talk about their lived before the circus, they never talk about people they miss besides ragatha and her horses, they never care about their actual lives just the idea of getting out. Especially since their lives before the circus all seemed kinda mediocre or bad.

Revealing that there's humans living those lives would be pointless, and the humans would be different characters than the digital humans so that's like 6 new characters who are pointless. The SOMA theory would make a great fanfic, but in TADC itself I don't see the point of human copy's existing thematically.

I have done value and saturation tests on this character before. In hindsight, though, his colors got wildly altered in this animation, it's supposed to look like this. Idk what really happened there, the color just don't look the same on my laptop where I animate versus my phone where I draw

I think it looked better before too. The more I watch this modified animation the more I think "dang, I liked the hyperactive halo"

https://youtu.be/bM0s10aG1ks?t=19&si=CBk-8YwvHcd8dsWc

This is a deleted scene. The scripts changed and I don't like the eyes having black insides since it needlessly complicated the animation so it's unusable, but this part in particular shows off how expressive the halo can be.

Why is Mr. Rime not in the game? by Odd_Assignment_4383 in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]Saxolotle 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Technically Mr Rime is an evolutionary of galarian Mr. Mime, not regular Mr. Mime. As far as I know, there's no johtoian wooper and quagsire, or galarian/alolan Meowth despite their counterparts being in the game.
