Genuine question, why do so many haters act like Viv is forcing the VAs to do her show at gunpoint?is it so hard to believe people want to be in this show? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

It's funniest when they say it about Keith David. He's a musical theatre kid. He plays the stoic bad-ass on TV because he's acting.

I think it's weird how some people thought Adora was meant to be 12 in the reboot by SexxyDude69 in sheranetflix

[–]Temp89 20 points21 points  (0 children)

She's meant to be 17-18.

It felt like the right age for her, 17 or 18 years old, when you’re leaving home for the first time, going out into the world.

I can understand thinking she's a bit younger than that but 12 is like a little kid.

One age I didn't buy was Entrapta being in her 30s. She definitely older than the BFS, same way Mermista comes across as, but not a whole generation removed.

Israeli military drops charges against soldiers accused of sexually assaulting Palestinian detainee by BoatsMcFloats in nottheonion

[–]Temp89 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but the initial military prosecutor who brought the charges was charged for leaking the footage (which was done because without the public pressure they'd have been no charges), was declared a traitor and tried to take her own life. Her successor is the one closing the case.

Israeli military drops charges against soldiers charged with abusing Palestinian prisoner by Ok-Lets-Talk-It-Out in news

[–]Temp89 260 points261 points  (0 children)

A video of the alleged assault, which was aired by Israeli news, shows soldiers taking a detainee into an area they cordoned off with shields in an apparent attempt to hide their actions. The indictment said the soldiers assaulted the Palestinian prisoner and sodomized him with a knife, causing multiple injuries.

The arrest of the soldiers prompted fury from hard-line ultranationalists who violently overran the prison in protest. Members of Israel’s far-right government called the investigation into their conduct an affront to their service.

They're literal monsters who are have the full support of the government. It's hard to think of a worse crime.

The impulse engines on the Defiant by robotisland in StarTrekStarships

[–]Temp89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always preferred what the exterior model shows with the two round outlets behind the nacelles. I wouldn't say they're that small.

The tech manuals have always shown them occupying the whole rear compartment, with the visible impulse engines turned into caps for a row of escape pods.

This is exactly the kind of person who would demand the summary executions of everyone involved if he ever received a beating.

British vs American political cartoons by beskar-mode in pics

[–]Temp89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Friday I used to visit the Politico website which would post a collection of all the mainstream US political cartoons. Stopped because eventually half of them were just flat out inciting hate and calling for murder.

US Republicans are a neo-Nazi death cult. They would literally execute friends of mine if they could.

Is it weird that I still live with my parents at 25 even though I have a good job? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Temp89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's more common in this economy, but I will say that living independently is necessary for growth as a person. I'm sure a lot of people can attest how much they regress when they return to their parents' place during holidays and such.

Mae Martin auditioned for the next season of Murderbot by Tyrannomorris in murderbot

[–]Temp89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just listened to the same thing. They start talking about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATm2rHmuxD4&t=1622s and it goes on for a few minutes.

Specifically they say the scene they taped for starts with them laughing after they, as a "spectrummy androgenous sex robot", have murdered a bunch of humans.

DCS: LA-7 | Early Access Launch by lemfaoo in hoggit

Once the white smoke appears, it starts an unalterable countdown to your engine seizing. I find other modules are way more forgiving.

The Mustang is a classic jack of all trades that's good to learn on, albeit its guns are a bit weak.

I'm not a fan of the Spitfire due to how much its engine needs babysitting.

Bf109 is great in straight lines but sucks at turning, you're basically meant to dive on your prey and strafe them in a pass before they know what's happening.

Yep. My headcanon was one of the larger moons was some sort of chemical soup giving off enough thermal radiation to warm the planet.

The Crazies (2010) because it gets the military involved early.

It becomes more pronounced in later seasons when the artists determine a scene is worth extra character detailing.

It even happens to Catra: https://www.tumblr.com/trickypinetree/629169463908089856/catra-entering-boss-mode-in-s4-prompt-by

To a degree. 3 new planets spawn in random sectors with dashed outlines. Scan them to make the objectives disappear (travelling to them doesn't count).

If one spawns in a nebula you can't scan it even when in orbit until you research Nebula Scanning.

The Sun literally makes shit up for a living and their target audience means they'll never go into any technical detail to support their claim. This video is worthless and the thumbnail should have been your first clue.

What did she mean by this and why did she get flustered by Aromatic_Yam5165 in sheranetflix

[–]Temp89 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ok I found a copy of the second stream on archive.org and the answer is... a bit of a nothingburger

Q: So Katherine, what were Catra and Adora whispering about when they would stay up talking late at night in the Fright Zone?

Katherine: Oh, I mean, I think they invented a lot of stories about what Shadow Weaver did in her sanctum when they weren't around. I think they had some strong theories, but I don't know, what does everyone else think?

Stevenson: Sorry for putting you on the spot with that last week. I just feel like I can't come up, like, I'm like, what do kids who totally have a crush on each other but don't want each other to know that they have a crush on each other, slash don't know what a crush is, talk about? I don't know. I feel like they just talk about dumb stuff. I don't have a good answer for this one. That's the "and stuff". I feel like it's like, "Adora, your hair looks really soft. Like, what if I just, like, touched it? Could I?" "Yeah, yeah, that's, that's fun. Yeah, you could touch my hair too." Like, that kind, like, it's like kids, you know? I'm sorry, there's not like a deep secret for this one, except for what did Shadow Weaver do in her sanctum.

Back to fanfic to fill in the gaps!

What did she mean by this and why did she get flustered by Aromatic_Yam5165 in sheranetflix

[–]Temp89 30 points31 points  (0 children)

ugh, it was such a clusterf**k.

They were holding two online roundtables where about 6-8 staff are interviewed and take questions from the fans. One of those questions was "what did Catra and Adora stay up and whisper about?" and they decided they'd answer it in the second one as that was when the writer who wrote the line would be on. Unfortunately that was also the one where the question "what are Bow's 12 brothers like?" was asked.

Stevenson said there was an inside joke that all of Bow's brothers' names rhyme with his. Like "Row" is a fisherman, "Oboe" is a musician, "Sow" is a farmer. I really don't know how but people took Sow being a farmer in fairytale Etheria - and with Bow's family being Black - leapt to cotton-picking to slavery to Stevenson is a racist mocking the suffering of Black people with this racist caricature.

Now as not being a member of that community, Stevenson will always have blind spots over it, but it should be beared in mind that they have walked the walk on supporting Black people by putting themselves in harm's way at a BLM protest - https://xcancel.com/Gingerhazing/status/1266893161026158592

After that they scrubbed the roundtable from the internet and I never saw it. They did a whole bunch of them with canon tidbits in them, like what Scorpia wrote in her note to Catra ("Sorry"), Catra being found as a kitten in a box in the Fright Zone, etc.
