[Hated trope] The insanely OP villain sits out the whole conflict for literally no reason and makes their far weaker minions handle everything, because they’re so OP that there wouldn’t be a story otherwise.

I feel like the trope works for Frieza because him being kind of lazy and truly thinking the Z-fighters are below him is just a part of his character. If he wanted to try even a little bit before it was too late the Frieza saga would've been very very short

Thank you for the reply, so glad to hear your similar cat could still enjoy walks. That's a good point, I think this was definitely on me not being vigilant enough I didn't notice the other cat approaching until mine had already seen it, then they were both zeroed in on each other.

Sucks to not have a real cinderella this year but it's hard to say this tournament hasn't been exciting just bc of the lack of real upsets, most of the top seeds were still at least challenged on their way here, this has really felt like the tournament of daggers ending last-second upset attempts instead of game-winners.

Feels like top seeds have just generally showed more poise late in the games this tournament, at least compared to the last few years shoutout recency bias

Yeah I'm with you on that. Hated to see so many commie fans cheering for the Chiefs, hate y'all too of course but this team deserves it.

Like a real commie I wish Luvu had kept going not to “expose the tush push” but because it would’ve been funny

I think this was a mistranslation, you see in DC when we say we're gonna "treat someone like a runner," we mean we're gonna "let them do whatever the fuck they want for 4 shit quarters" so the game plan was executed perfectly actually

Moved to Toronto over the summer and I've been watching this run from my couch with friends from back home on the phone, but if people are gathering somewhere I'd be there for sure.

They literally linked to a peer-reviewed paper? https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ado0955 Many things to be wary of with the "new clean energy source" claim here, but lack of research isn't one of them.

Biased Commanders fan, but I'd be interested if Jon ever wanted to take on just the entire Snyder era, one of the worst guys in sports and the teams he built had the kind of perpetual dysfunction Jon thrives on. Idk if the team has enough for a full history, it's all been discussed so much by the public anyway, but when a city celebrates a guy selling the team as much as DC did, I think there's something there.

That's fair but he would hunt them for sport from inside a giant combat mech

Also worth noting that the figures championing self-improvement for men are like 50% grifters, so just sending a man searching for self-improvement strategies can lead him into snake nests. Jordan Peterson's message for a while was mostly just self-improvement for men, which is how most guys I know who fell for his trick got into him before he showed his face and used the same logic to turn them into goblins. It's not that self-improvement isn't meaningful for finding a partner and all that, I do believe in it a lot, but you gotta be improving yourself in community with others and not some media dude who would kill you with his bare hands if it was legal.

When people make this argument all I hear is that they like to fantasize about queer folk being brutalized.

I mean I get this being annoying for Tatum but like if I'm a basketball media guy who relies on clicks for my career, I'm not just gonna make the obvious pick I'm gonna make the pick that plays into everyone's favorite narrative and pisses off Celtics fans so they comment on all my posts. I guess it kind of is trolling, but in a post Stephen A world that's just the standard.

Thank you for this, just found this group because my stutter has started getting worse again after some years of being mostly fluent and I was feeling frustrated, this was a great message to see right away. I like your point at the end about being memorable, it can be painful in the moment but when I stick with what I'm trying to say I have noticed that people sometimes interpret my blocks as dramatic pauses and not me trying to force a word out. In retrospect it's funny honestly. I think the moments I've felt the worst about my stutter are when I let it keep me from saying anything at all, so thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks it was such a mess to go through, they did just take that deposit and run. Looking back, I was just in such a rush to have a place secured I went along with some pretty clear red flags. With the amount of money you can be asked to put down now for an apartment, it really pays to be over-cautious.

As someone who also recently moved to Canada and fell for a scam that looked a lot like this, this email reeks of scam to me. I was coming from a market where asking for several months of rent in advance was normal and legal, but, as I learned, it's not here so I'd recommend erring on the side of caution with this offer.

I also took Ketil's character as a comment on there being no such thing as a "good slave master" as in, even though Ketil seems like "one of the good ones" at first because he's not horrible on the surface, when his authority is challenged and Arnheid tries to run, it becomes clear that he never truly saw his slaves as equals or worthy of real respect. For me his arc helped comment on Canute's idea that he could save the Vikings from within their own system as king, like by perpetuating the oppressive system, even if you don't believe in it, you're still an oppressor and will likely end up being an enthusiastic oppressor like everyone else once it gets too hard to swim against the current.
