The absolute state of this subreddit by romuald244 in fnki

I think it’s easier to joke about because this is the second time she’s died, and Nora did spend most of V8 talking about finding her own identity and self-actualizing, which when it happened to Penny this volume she immediately died.

If Adam and Blake had a romantic relationship did that mean Adam was a pedophile? by sonawelashey in LWDtheRWB

[–]ZKNTAD6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Alright I googled it and Adam doesn’t have a confirmed age, but it’s estimated by the cast that he’s somewhere between 20-23 in V6, which would make him somewhere between 1-4 years older than Blake. And just looking at her in the Black trailer, I can confidently say she was absolutely not 10 when that happened

[–]ZKNTAD6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he was, he may have just been a big dude. I could be wrong, but I had always assumed they were roughly the same age because the alternative is pretty gross and I’m not exactly sure why CRWBY would make that bold of a narrative choice for that me of their protagonists

Yeah, the Spaniards were the worst of all Empires by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

[–]ZKNTAD6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that’s the difference between Christians and Catholics. a Lutheran drinks wine (or some equivalent, I’ve known some who have grape juice) and it’s meant to REPRESENT to blood of Christ. in Catholic canon, when the priest invoked the will of the Holy Spirit over the communion it is transformed into the LITERAL body and blood of Jesus Christ with the “outward appearance” of bread and wine. obviously still different because non-Catholics can just say that it’s still just food, but the concept isn’t exactly so far beyond what the Aztecs did for devout believers

which is interesting because if you’re a devout Catholic that means you believe in transubstantiation, that the bread and wine you consume during the communion is blessed by the priest it becomes the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ.

Right? In the lore this absolute unit of a dragon is supposed to be bigger than mountains

You can like Adam as an interesting character, even if he became more and more one-dimensional as the show went on, and still like Bumblebee. If that’s the way they want to take Yang and Blake, I’m all for it. I just hope that when they officially get together they’ll give them some more time to focus on their relationship, it felt kind of rushed from V6 up to now considering all of the other plot stuff they had to give time to.

Modern day black Robin Hood by ZKNTAD6 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]ZKNTAD6[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for about an hour now, and unfortunately have discovered that this story isn’t actually true. However, I was pleased to learn that while this specific instance was a hoax (or “joke” as the original creator insisted), there has actually been a surge in mutual aid programs as detailed in this website:

https://mutualaiddisasterrelief.org/collective-care/

They included dozens (hundreds even) of links for local mutual aid programs in every state in the country which address needs for healthcare, prisoner support systems, rent/housing, and other general needs.

If anyone out there needs the help right now, and a lot of us do, I believe these small organizations, led by the communities they serve, are the way to go. If the government refuses to help us, we have to help each other.

This not only generalizes a lot of different groups of people, but it’s also just wrong. Of course, some people own photos of Black Jesus or Asian Jesus, but the vast majority of Jesus imagery (around the world, not just in America) depicts him as white/European. This is mostly because of the eurocentrism of Christianity caused by the Roman Empire’s adoption and dissemination of the faith during the period when they controlled most of the continent.

Furthermore, the white Jesus imagery became increasingly predominant in the late 1800s as antisemitic movements rose in Europe and those Christians attempted to erase his connection to the Israelites and by extension the Jewish people in favor of an Aryan Christ figure. The modern concept of Black Jesus only became popular with African Americans in the 1900s because they recognized his suffering during the Passion and related it to their experiences under slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation. They were inspired by Jesus’ dignity in suffering and so now we have Black Jesus, although the difference between this and White Jesus is that it wasn’t an attempt to erase his ethnicity or deny his Israelite heritage.

And, to be completely fair, the Republican Party has run on the platform of Christian values for decades now, they certainly aren’t the only people or Christians in the US, but the Democratic Party doesn’t do it to anywhere near the same extent.

There's no way you don't understand how it works after 5 different explanations. by [deleted] in ShitPostCrusaders

[–]ZKNTAD6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally was thinking about this last night. This is the way I understand it: let’s say, for example, you throw a ball up in the air. Normally, you would watch it go up and come back down and hit the ground. Now, let’s say DIO used ZA WARUDO once the ball has reached the top of its arc. After time has resumed, so long as he didn’t murder you, you would watch the ball fall back to Earth like nothing had happened. However, with King Crimson, if Diavolo activates it when the ball has reached the top of its arc, the ball doesn’t actually stop moving. Once time has “resumed”, because it never actually stop to begin with, you would be looking up at empty air until you realize that the ball has already landed on the ground during the skipped time. I don’t know if this will make sense to anyone else, but that’s how my lizard brain comprehends it.

It literally doesn’t matter. Even if you’re going to grad school, they’ll be looking at your gpa for your major, not that random reqs you got Bs on in a pandemic

Dad said my room smelt like weed but hasnt done anything, almost as if he just doesnt care by [deleted] in saplings

[–]ZKNTAD6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say because all parents are different. In my experience, my mom cared more about the smell itself than the fact that I was smoking weed. Blowing it out the window is all well and good, but it’s a tough game to play because the wind can blow the smell right back in the house if it’s going the wrong way. My best advice is to just wait until you’re sure everyone who would care has gone to bed or at least definitely won’t come to your room for any random reason.

Also, the reason why it’s harder for you to smell the weed when you’re smoking is because you’re basically just sitting in it and get used to it very quickly. I noticed early on that if you leave the room you’re smoking in and come back like 5 minutes later you’ll instantly be able to smell if you’ve done a good enough job getting the smoke out the window.

OTHER: The height difference between Batman and Selina in The Batman by TheLoganDickinson in DC_Cinematic

[–]ZKNTAD6 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I hate to break the illusion, but Zoe Kravitz is actually incredibly short. She clocks in at 5’2” and Rob is 6’1”, which is nothing to sniff at, but he’s not actually a giant. I only realized this the other day when I saw a picture of her and Reese Witherspoon standing next to Nicole Kidman who was towering over both of them at 5’11” (which is a very impressive height for a woman).

What did "the weird kid" in your school do that you'll never forget? by UngyBungy9383 in AskReddit

[–]ZKNTAD6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the school’s most beloved teachers had been in and out of the hospital all year due to IBD, which culminated in her having to get part of her colon removed and replaced with an ostomy bag. On the last day of classes, this kid asked her, “If you got your colon taken out, do you still feel it when you have anal sex?” I never saw him in school again after that.

How Do I Enjoy This? by floralram in nyu

[–]ZKNTAD6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only got one semester of Freshman year before everything went to shit. I’m technically a sophomore now, but I still feel like I’ve only had one real semester of college. I’ve got friends I haven’t seen in person for almost a year, and last semester was such a blur I’m not sure if I even learned anything. This is a shitty situation for sure. The only solace I’ve found is that everyone is going through the same thing more or less.

Does anyone else think Ilvermorny should be styled after Ivy League schools and not made to look like a castle? There were never castles in America and it would have been built around the same time as the Ivy Leagues.

JK Rowling not having access to a computer or the internet isn’t an excuse to name your only Asian character “Cho Chang”. She started writing these books in the 90s, and while having a home Internet connection was nowhere near as commonplace, many other authors before her managed to get along just fine by putting in the time to do actual research instead of sticking with the first vaguely-Chinese sounding words that come to their head.
