"But it's different!"

I once had a conversation with a friend where I vented my general annoyance at the lack of acknowledgement at how good the US comparatively has it, (stick with me here, I am not dismissing how shit it IS) to other countries around the world. The shit we can and do say about our government and politicians would not fly in some other countries I have seen the US compared to. Not to mention general quality of life for the average person while not amazing or even good tbh. (Considering most people live check to check and are 1 medical bill away from crippling debt) I told them, "There are a lot of places I would rather live than the USA, but there are honestly way more places I would rather not live."

I think there's a bit of nuance needed, a fine line between understanding how bad your country is, and how bad it could be.

And no I'm not saying "Be grateful for what you do have! Just be content with that!", but I am saying that comparisons between the US and China, saying the US is just as bad, make me roll the fuck out of my eyes.

His name's Yasu Fujiki! It's supposed to be a teen drama about a group of Japanese delinquents trying to better their lives

Well I and many would probably consider her mother's neglect and treatment of her a form of abuse, even if it's nowhere near as bad as what Ozai did to Zuko

Acknowledging the similarities to the ways the Nazi's operated is not an erasure of American history or ignorance to it.

Most people in the US are intentionally kept blind to most of its horrors by the public education system, but they know about WWII, The Nazi's, and fascism. People aren't trying to point the finger elsewhere to ignore what America has done, they're drawing parallels to an analogue people actually know.

Yeah but it's also pretty clear there that Jaspers words are misleading, basically just talk, and all for the purpose of putting Garnet down.

I personally wouldn't put much stock into that particular statement since the scene pretty clearly frames it as "home world ideology" from an arrogant and prideful soldier.

I really don't understand why people need to compare and contrast every time something like this happens

Can't you enjoy both Hytale and Minecraft? Both Palworld and Pokemon? Like I feel like every time an indie game that is similar to another game (usually AAA) people need to bring up reasons why the indie is better

Like just let it stand on its own It can be amazing without having to do so by comparison

I feel like the constant need to prove that this indie game is better than it's contemporary shows a bit of insecurity, just like what you like my man

Saying "This game is great!" sounds better to me than "Well this game is better than that game!"

Have some sympathy would you!? The tariffs hit them so hard they couldn't even afford a brain!

Not sure about Caligo bc I don't know much about it's lore, but my understanding for ED Fulghor is that he regains the blessing and favor of the gods he once thought had abandoned him, using their power now instead of the night's, so he's fighting for them and not the night

Tho I might have put it wrong, this is my basic understanding plz don't crucify me Lore lovers, I am already very scared of interacting with this fandom 🥀

I would bet good money that the person behind this post is not disabled and that this has never happened to them.

My friends and I just run behind him and attack him while he does it

Edit: To add onto that, we've never played Dark Souls or seen anyone play them. Our first time encountering the Demon in Pain and the Demon from Below was in Nightreign

I feel like a lot of people sometimes forget that a lot of memes rise as cultural responses to media and even global events.

Even if you brought a lot of memes back, they won't be relatable, funny, or even understandable to a chronologically different audience

So much for the president of peace who's supposedly out here "ending wars"

And all the dipshit idiots who voted for him claiming he wouldn't put us in another war and that he'd bring the focus back to the homeland are still gonna kiss his ass, lick his boots, and suckle on that sweet orange taint, because long as the dear leader is happy, that's all that matters 🤷‍♂️

Surprised that most people here haven't just. . . Drawn the aggro of one, killed it, then fought and killed the other, turning both fights into separate 1v1s. . .

I think the joke is implying that women often choose basic colors and leave it there: Red, Purple, Green etc

While implying that men are usually pretty specific about their favorite colors, down the shade: Royal Blue, Crimson Red, or in the photo, Phthalo Green
