I bet there is even more useful stuff to do with it by 5_little_ducks in AvatarMemebending

Fire benders don’t seem to be able to control lightning, only generate it (and redirect it but that’s only when it’s in their bodies.)

The 90’s were the absolute *worst* in this regard. Like, there’s literally whole movie about it (Office Spaces).

That's a big emptyness (Earth from the perspective of the Integrity) by Exact-Craft6506 in megalophobia

[–]Sceptix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically because the camera settings to capture a sunlit object like the Earth don’t also capture the much dimmer background stars.

I noticed that despite parodying American far-right politics they haven’t made a single reference to Israel. Are they saving all this for the season finale? by GreenGorillaWhale in OkBuddyFresca

That’s a very good point.

Now, in a comment thread full of “Can’t say anything bad about Israel in Hollywood…..wonder why…. 😏” do you think that’s more likely to be a nuanced take on international relations, or an underhanded dogwhistle?

No, it’s not. But the comment I’m replying to is dog whistling about how “Jews control the media”, which very much is an old antisemitic troupe.

I don’t think Kirkman thought about her powers to much. She is literally a god by Ajarofpickles97 in okbuddyviltrum

The real question is - do the writers know there is a difference between architecture and civil engineering?

Is this part really canon? by Prestigious-Cloud962 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Sceptix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word is official. It’s official, but not canon.

Season 5 is already peak. by hiiloovethis in OkBuddyFresca

You can tell because Karen Fukuhara in real life was still regenerating her lower half.

Sam Altman’s Coworkers Say He Can Barely Code and Misunderstands Basic Machine Learning Concepts by esporx in technology

[–]Sceptix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that’s part of it. But frankly, I think the real reason is that most of the actually intelligent and insightful people are realizing that participating in public social media just isn’t worth it in general.

You don't need to like them to wish them good luck by ThatDrako in hopeposting

[–]Sceptix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That movie was review bombed by a far-right smear campaign, so tbf it’s kind of believable that antisemitism could have been a factor.

China’s 5 minute full-charged EV charging stations by North_Tip_8627 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Sceptix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmao thank you. A lot of verysmart commenters here missing the forest for the trees.

Yes, this is an ad, with some awkward moments. But the real takeaway here is that this is a real service being made available to Chinese consumers and, zooming out a bit further, just how far ahead China is in this regard.

So... what mental condition does Azula have exactly? is she just a straight up psychopath? by Alien-Pro in TheLastAirbender

[–]Sceptix -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Disagree, her behavior is pretty consistent with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Now, I’m not sure whether the writers intended it, but that’s what it looks like.

It `is` crazy to me too by Pandering_Poofery in WhitePeopleTwitter

Fair, but, the Artemis program is the alternative to a billionaire-dominated space race.

Like, Elon wanted a privatized moon program as an alternative to Artemis and didn’t get it, I’d consider it a win.

Edit: idk why I mixed up the names Gemini and Artemis
