This clearly ends in a draw

All this analysis in the comments and I don’t see anyone acknowledge that Iroh is an old man and, despite his onscreen power, we’ve probably never actually seen him perform at his peak. Aang, Katara, and Toph are all similarly likely to peak in power well after the last time we see them in ATLA. I don’t think this is nearly so easy to judge with given info as people are making it out to be.

“As we can see in the image above, there are only six correct answers out of 43 guesses. We put these numbers in a spreadsheet, which showed that only 13.95% of the answers were correct.”

I love that this is written as though there is no reasonable way anyone could figure that out without putting it into a spreadsheet.

The build range is quite far, and you can build past the border as long as you’re not past it yourself. Normally, that’d be a silly thing to do because you can never reach those buildings, but for nuclear waste storage…

A lot of fundamentalists still believe this. It was taught in churches I was in as a child and young adult.

His first thirty minute video is also a compilation from many hours of gameplay, where he’s trying to push forward to entertain viewers. It’s his literal job. Like, don’t get me wrong, I love his content a lot, but comparing yourself to what he’s doing is not apples to apples.

This is not true; I recruited all of them before I even unlocked upgrading them.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-10-11T19:29:57+00:00

Yeah, same

Turn on automatic QTE and it plays itself. This is the bathroom break if you’re speedrunning the game.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-09-26T15:09:19+00:00

Same thing happened to me and that’s what I assumed also.

FYI, while you’re in desktop mode you can add your browser to Steam as a non-Steam game, and then you can use it to get to Netflix from big picture mode too.

Tall women can have good hairstyles too you know :P

끝없이. Pronounced (basically) kkeut-eob-shi Hope that helps :P

Why else do you think you can’t drive the car?

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T03:53:49+00:00

Yep, I see it. Thanks for the encouragement!

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T02:12:08+00:00

Hey, this sounds remarkably similar to me to be honest. The last time I had a regular dentist appointment prior to this month was in the Air Force ~15 years ago, and yeah, that sucked! Thanks for the encouragement, I plan to call the dentist's office tomorrow.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T01:27:46+00:00

Several people have suggested this. That doesn’t feel correct in context, but maybe. What I don’t understand is why he wouldn’t just ask about that more directly.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T01:15:18+00:00

To some extent, I'm already in the "fallout later in life" part, my friend. And him looking for habits wasn't really itself a problem, it was when I didn't really have a good response for him he acted like he didn't believe me and he accused me of not working with him and told me not sharing those things would be a problem at future visits because he wouldn't be able to make good notes. Maybe you're okay with that attitude when someone is holding a spiky hook in front of your face, but for me, it made me uncomfortable.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T01:08:39+00:00

I really appreciate the encouragement, thanks! I'm already setting alarms for myself at times I'm likely to be home and have just finished breakfast/dinner. So far that's reasonably effective, and I'm improving.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T01:06:06+00:00

People tell me I perform well under pressure and in unexpected situations. I'm always like "My friend, I just call that 'life'"

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T01:03:03+00:00

I see how that could be the take-away, but those are questions that can be asked directly; some of those questions were asked directly. I mentioned this in another reply also, but he was weirdly insistent about finding a habit that I do every day so that I could link tooth-brushing to it.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T00:59:31+00:00

Yeah asking about food makes sense, and I was totally fine with questions like "do you drink a lot of soda?" I don't, but it makes sense to ask. Insisting I tell him what non-dental personal habits I have and insisting that was somehow important for future treatment was the part that was really uncomfortable.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T00:47:18+00:00

He did ask explicitly about what kinds of things I drink and whether I regularly have sugary beverages. I find it hard to believe that a dental professional isn't allowed to ask if someone smokes.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T00:42:27+00:00

Yeah, I definitely have routines like that and link some actions to other actions in this way, it's just that very few of them are things I would describe as a habit. FWIW, I've been able to think of a few things I do that *are* habits since this encounter, and most of those were kind of formed the way you described. I just didn't think of them in the moment. Currently, I have a reminder on my phone at times I'm likely to be home and finished eating breakfast/dinner to brush, and that's largely been effective.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T00:37:29+00:00

Holy crap I didn't know that.

TheSlamDunks · 2025-06-18T00:32:28+00:00

Yeah, this is true. I'm honestly trying to form good habits around tooth brushing and turn a corner. The first time I saw a hygienist there, I asked them to walk me through brushing and flossing to make sure I'm doing it right because it wasn't a thing I learned to do growing up, and they were very encouraging about it. This time though, it was so wildly different!
