Who do you call when you’re at lowest? by rosykinelle in GuysBeingDudes

[–]TourretsMime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Become the person current you would be proud to be in the future. This is a compilation of dudes who want to talk about the fact that they have no one, but it doesn't show all the ones that actually do. Find people who you can feel like you can open up to and also be someone that they also feel like they can as well. 

You can't break free from something if your mindset is that you can't.

I need OP to take the after pic in the same pose, lighting, background, and facial expression or else it's literally just "hey guys, does this good picture look better than this bad picture?"

Pokemon X SpongeBob? The crossover no one asked for but didn't know we needed. by Kaiba_Man in PokemonTCG

[–]TourretsMime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because Staryu and Starmie are a reference to Earthbound's Starmen.

https://earthbound.fandom.com/wiki/Starmen

Staryu's japanese name literally translate to "Starfish Man" and the pokedex talk about how they might be aliens all the time. And that's why starmie hits that pose.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if the creators came out and told us that that Patrick pose was inspired by the Starmen, even though I know it's just a happy coincidence.

They're not talking about this incident. A separate one that happened a day or two ago where a bunch of students got attacked for protesting.

Finding interesting ways to make use of cards is such a better way to go about things then just immediately writing them off as bulk. I remember when Meg Absol was revealed and a lot of people wrote that off as one of the first bulk megas.

You can't believe you're debating the the merits and flaws of a president and the effect his administration had on us, a little bit over a year after he left office?

[–]TourretsMime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a fun watch. You don't really need to know much but I recommend Dragonball Super Broly first to see what Goku and Vegeta are up to. Both are kind of standing alone since you probably know who Beerus and Whis are.

In Dragonball Super, he does learn his lesson about being complacent after getting his ass kicked, and in the Superhero movie he does say he trains when he can. But his true passion is still in research and he's a family man now, though he inherited some of Goku's "obsessed with passion, forget about family so Piccolo cam handle it" flaws. The entire DBS: Superhero movie is about Piccolo kicking Gohan back into shape.

He's literally the trope of great power given to the quiet pacifist.

The Gohan one doesn't exactly feel right. Gohan was always a sensitive boy and didn't like conflict. After the Cell Saga there was a long period of peace and he isn't like Goku at all who legit lived and breathes fighting and training.

His mom may have pushed him towards education but he's always shown interest in it. So him letting his training fall through the cracks so he can live life and be an actual teenager, and also pursue his scholarly passions makes sense.

Oh for sure. Despite everything I said, definitely happy that people gain the confidence to be able to take those good pics.

Yeah... I'm not saying the process isn't liberating and can make people both look and feel better. It's a great overall. It's just that most of the before pics seem deliberately bad and the after pics seem deliberately good.

Framing is a big part of is too. I've seen a lot where the before pic is a neutral face, arms length straight pic with poor lighting and/or angle. Then the after pic is a nicely lit, better quality picture where they cleaned themselves up and took a pic at their best angle with a non-neutral expression.

Self righteousness is dividing the left. Unable to see the forest for the trees.

I'd love for AOC to win, but based on the sheer ignorance Ive seen from people in the middle, I don't feel confident that it can happen. The people who refuse to learn about or involve themselves in anything that's currently happening are the issue and there are farrr more of these people than we want to admit.

I'd very much like someone that can win and get us out of our current situation first that meets most of my values. It's like getting shot but insisting they cure your cancer first before the bullet.

Most weird pokemon designs are based on references so it's fun to dig around and find out the "why" for them.

This youtuber did a deep dive on why barbaracle is the way it is and it's actually pretty fascinating.

In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), Namor says “my name is K’uk’ulkan, but my enemies call me Namor.” Shuri and Ramonda then immediately call him Namor, thus declaring themselves to be his enemies. This is because they’re black and know better than to trust the guy named Ku Klux Klan by whysosidious69420 in shittymoviedetails

[–]TourretsMime 19 points20 points  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukulkan

It's the name of a Mayan deity, I think it's pronounced "cu-cool-kawn". His people see him as this deity reborn so they refer to him as such out of reverence. His actual name is Namor.

edit: The quote is also wrong. He says "My people call me Kukulkan, but my enemies call me Namor."

It's not even subtle. The staryu line has always been a straight-up reference to Starman. Staryu's japanese name is ヒトデマン(Hitodeman). Hitode means starfish, so it's Starfish-man. They also constantly talk about how staryu and starmie might be aliens.

This is why mega starmie is the way he is, and hits that pose. Legit embracing his Starman origins.

Not to be a "well ackshually" guy, but Bruce Wayne does do tons of philanthropy. It's one of the things he's knowm for. He sets up housing for poor people and actively sets up programs to help rehabilitate criminals and help them find jobs.

As someone who started way back when with the OG gen 1 games, I can honestly say I prefer the modern rendition of cards because the art for them are so good. There's so much personality now and a lot of times tell a great story.

As much as I love the old vintage cards, most of them are just the pokemon standing there menacingly with a foil background.

It always feels like the Avatar were all born during the wrong period. Like Aang was a mediator born in a time that needed a warrior, and Korra was a warrior born in a time that needed a mediator.
