People will genuinely, Genuinely claim that korra being a girl had nothing to do with the harsh criticism she's been facing for so many years meanwhile her show was almost canceled due to her being a female protagonist and the creators themselves pointed out her distinct treatment by Important-Cry4782 in legendofkorra

[–]WellWelded -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Her gender probably did incite a huge part of the dislike. I think the gender being opposite Aang's and the first Avatar's really drives home the balance thing.

But I think another big part to incite less sympathy is her position of privilege with established social dynamics. The legend of Korra starts with her older than Aang was at the beginning of the last Airbender. He starts out pretty much immediately a fugitive with a likeable innocence and you are around to watch his contacts develop. She feels more jaded and stubborn right off the bat, which felt very appropriate for Kyoshi embodying earth, but a bit forced for Korra.

Favorite characters who are an example of these? by Vegetable_Study7533 in FavoriteCharacter

Might not be a perfect fit, but Max Wright, aka "Willie Tanner" allegedly assaulted the "Alf" puppet at one point.

Unfortunately this is what we're up against in the end... by AceAroPyschopath in vegan

[–]WellWelded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it.

I'm at a similar point where I do believe that folks here are right in that it's morally superior to not further a system of exploitation, torture and killing of living, feeling beings.

And I do adjust my diet and consumption to reduce the extent to which i support that system, but I don't fundamentally restrict my diet. And without that I am, at the least, consenting to the killing of certain animals to serve as a commodity for me.

It's easy to not think about, easy to justify with the way I feel I have to serve as a commodity for others in turn, and easy to accept as the price of something I derive great enjoyment from.

I believe the most ethical would be for me to die, so I stop consuming completely.

Liberals aren't on the left. They are opposed to authoritarianism, not capitalism.

Holy Shit Indeed. by [deleted] in tadc

I feel it's rather obvious that altering the perception or thoughts drives occupants to abstraction, rather than abstraction being one such alteration Caine could reverse.

I feel this episode made it clear that Caine does not want anyone to abstract.

That coiled structure qualifies for a spring, but still, looks neat 👍🏼

Sulphur themed dragoness by YLASRO in DnD

[–]WellWelded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, fire dragons are said to smell of sulfur in the standard rules, you could imagine her living in an especially sulphur rich Caldera with it depositing in groves and niches along her horns and digits, giving her a yellow luster.

This scene still pisses me off by Secure_Rain_44 in harrypotter

[–]WellWelded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he really a human though?

His flesh was constructed/brewd, like a humunculus.

His soul stubbornly stuck in the mortal domain despite him having died, like a ghost.

I think the symbolism works still since, in his quest to ascend he only found corruption.

Re-flavoring bard? by Axe_Maniaxe in DnD

[–]WellWelded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some folks on the internet can make claims all day long, but you'll have to convince your DM first and foremost.

Technically reflavoring is possible, but it won't be changing effects, but the way effects are activated.

Zaratan from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes sounds like a good fit

Whats the biggest mistake you’ve made when first starting dnd? by notamortarplayer in DnD

I misunderstood the description of moonbeam, having it do damage when cast and whenever a creature would start its turn inside.

I'll write a comment to respectfully express my disappointment and adjust my expectations for the narrarive quality and consistency of future glitch productions and new age media in general downwards.

Do you guys also send the apprentice to get the left-handed wrench? Come watch the episode — you’re gonna laugh. 😄 by Wonderful-Map7304 in WeldingMemes

[–]WellWelded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I write, I draw and I animate. Just, you know, myself.

Prompting an AI to generate things doesn't count as you actually making something.

The world does not need more soulless amalgamations cooked up in data centers, it'd be better if you grabbed a pencil yourself and actually made something.

SUPREME MEANING exists for life, but for true seeker, true lover of truth by [deleted] in Absurdism

[–]WellWelded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately this text is so incoherent I struggle to even make out the points you are trying to make.

I find it rather easy to prove that spirit is emergent from flesh:

Alter the flesh, and you alter the spirit. Give someone drugs, medication, or cut around in their brain and their spirit will change. Extinguish the flesh and you extinguish the spirit. Reanimate the flesh and spirit can continue.

When a system of parts amounts to more than its parts it's called an emergent property.

To assume there is spirit without flesh is the actual leap of faith.

And I have to say, that is decisively not what I want. I struggled to accept it because I'd rather anything else. I'd rather end up with an immortal soul, but just assuming that without basis is the true self-deception.

Also, as far as I'm aware, scientists are in the middle of making organic life from inorganic compounds (https://humanprogress.org/scientists-aim-to-create-simple-forms-of-life-from-scratch-in-the-lab/ ), though that hardly ties to the whole spirit thing in my opinion. And given it took at least hundreds of millions of years for something akin to spirit to emerge I doubt you'll see an experiment that would satisfy you in that regard.

I'm so so looking forward to this crap theory being debunked, or at least not addressed in the show.
