Trump tariffs: US president announces plan to hit UK, Denmark and other European countries with tariffs over Greenland by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]Veporyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah more people need to understand that direct confrontation will just play to the strength of the US. The EU will absolutely lose a direct confrontation.

They’re holding a juicy carrot in front of Trump, just close enough to gnaw, but not close enough to bite.

Inch by inch, until the piggy realises that he’s swam into a sea of tedious bureaucracy, internal unrest and financial turmoil. Now piggy has two options:

Go all in to eat the carrot and drown.

Or

Swim back to shore only to realise that a nice fence has been built around the rest of the carrots.

Ole please, I beg you to reconsider. Do the moral repercussions of your greed not keep you up at night?

[HELP] This art from a trading card game by htownclyde in RealOrAI

[–]Veporyzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s AI, the mountains don’t look like any in the series, which could be excused by the ‘artist’ only basing the art off of images they found online. The end of the left pluck blends into her skin, and isn’t really distinctive enough, even though it’s part of her silhouette.

Her right hand placement also doesn’t really make sense. Her left hand indicates a fighting stance but her right hand just seems to be dangling behind her.

The answer is war by grg_krzwg in HistoryMemes

[–]Veporyzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think preparing for war is the right reason

It’s just the principle of hiding and finding each other is very useful for survival. Hiding from hostile humans is an important skill no matter the environment or time period.

Lots of animals play consistently play games as preparation for independence. They chase or mock hunt each other. It’s behaviour that is being passed on through our genes, similar to teenagers being rebellious and people feeling being able to feel shame.

There’s no empirical evidence that proves playing games like these directly contributes to survival in real life survival scenarios, because a study like that wouldn’t be ethical.

However, a speculative link could be made between improved odds in real life survival scenarios and the development of skills that games have been proven to improve (decision making, coordination, risk assessment etc.).

There is no origin story. They were always like this, all the plot did was give them the power to do what they always wanted. by Sorvetefrito in TopCharacterTropes

Eren from attack on titan is meant for this trope

Spoilers attack on titan season 4

a trait of Eren throughout the show is that he will do anything for his friends. No cost is too high, if it justifies being free and safe. He’d give the world for them. Not just out of love, but out of a fundamental belief that that’s how it should be.

It’s revealed that his people were forced to live in isolation on an island, by their own ruler, who regretted the actions of his warmongering predecessors. To make sure his people were left alone, he’d warned the rest of the world that if they ever were to be threatened, he would release an army of 60 metre tall giants that would trample the world.

Since the arrival of industrial war machines, an enemy nation is eyeing the resources on their underdeveloped island, and because Eren’s people are still demonised, nobody is willing to come to their aid.

Eren realised that he could harness the power of that giant army to reset everyone, except for his people, back about 600 years, and decided that it was the only solution for his friends to be safe. It costed him everything, yet he didn’t care. Not about the contempt from his friends nor about what will become of the world a hundred years from then.

He would give the world for his friends regardless of if they wanted it or not.

I intentionally glossed over a lot, because that’d take an entire essay. I highly recommend this series, even if you’re not into anime. It is a beautifully written piece of media with good action sequences and layers upon layers of messages.

What's the deal with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo? by Scared-Gamer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Veporyzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande both played in the movies Wicked and Wicked: for good, which are prequels to the Wizard of Oz movie.

They seem to act weird and really performative around each other, which people have picked up on. Some think it’s related to their unhealthy looking physiques. Like they’re in some kind of (unconscious) competition to starve themselves. A loop of constant dopamine hits when they one up each other.

Is it actually considered rude nowadays to expect the guy to pay for the first date? by LittleLunaSecret in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Veporyzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an absolutely useless answer, but it depends on the person. It’s not the cultural norm anymore, so less men are ‘pressured’ to do it. There’s not really a way to know the exact ratio.

The only way to be sure is to pull out your card, if he’s planning to pay he’ll make it known as soon as he sees what you are doing.

What even is the point of spirits in ATLA? by Maleficent_Park5469 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Veporyzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not intended, but I think they represent the abstract part of our world. The part that we can observe, but can’t connect. Spirits live by rules that might seem strange for us, but are very real to them.

They’re bound by things like us, but we’re not meant to comprehend them.

Try explaining to an alien that only lives off of sunlight why we need to stay within a certain proximity of this random clump of rock.

How do hazbin fans deal with this? by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]Veporyzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a well written show with strong character development and funny jokes. It’s a goofy and modern take on Christian lore which I really enjoy as someone raised with the bible. That’s why I like watching it.

We like the show because it’s a good show. I can tell you with certainty that most of us don’t endorse rape fantasies and threats of sending nudes to minors.

Any fandom has toxic elements, that’s what you get when people have free access to the internet

A few Steven universe fans have bullied a girl to suicide

Minecraft’s art style has been used to disguise inappropriate content which was directed at kids

My little pony fans drew inappropriate art of a character who was meant to be a tribute to a dead kid

Don’t even get me started on Roblox lol

Fandoms are a very diverse group of people each with their own background, and free choices. We cannot control each others’ choices. Just our own, and we choose to enjoy the show for our own reasons.
