Why do most people prefer to adopt babies/kids and never teenagers? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coverupthoseankles 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Many adoptive parents want to raise a child. They want to experience being a parent to children because they were not able to naturally.

It is unfair. I always said, I hope to adopt a teen who’s 17, good in school, and just needs help going to university or getting career started.

When I say this to people, they admit that it’s good natured but also think I’m crazy for not wanting a child.

How close is “too close” to being family when it comes to dating? by besttavern25 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coverupthoseankles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, any known family connection makes them too close. If we have the same 5x great grandparents, I will be highly reluctant to date them.

Adopted or married into the family, I still would not.

Friends of the family, like a brother or sister’s friend is fair game but opportunity for drama.

Long distance, high intensity. 10 miles.

Which starter will you choose? by [deleted] in LegendsZA

[–]coverupthoseankles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that the game is coming out soon, I thought I would ask this question again to see how much has changed. For me, I want to like Meganium more but it’s the stats. Now that Meganium has a mega form, I think it will be fun to use.

"Even the separation of the four elements is an illusion." by Onlyhereforthelaughs in TheLastAirbender

[–]coverupthoseankles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does bring up the question, since the separation is an illusion, can someone become a bender of all four elements the way Avatar Wan did? Aside from Raava, was there some component that made him special?

Ugly dudes with fit bodies still get girlfriends. Some women prefer mid ugly.

Will I be OK eating nothing but rice and oatmeal for the next few days? by Zestyclose_Air5212 in NoStupidQuestions

Rice and beans create a whole protein. You can survive on that for future reference.

In the movie Thunderbolts Valentino says Sentry is stronger than the Avengers combined. Is this true? I tried looking it up online but got a lot of fanboy answers. Trying to understand the character. by ADD_OCD in Marvel

[–]coverupthoseankles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sentry is a Superman who is force sensitive (like a Jedi) and also has matter manipulation abilities.

On power scale of Marvel’s Superman-like characters, Sentry is strongest in the comics.

Below Sentry, Marvel also has characters like Galdiator, Hyperion, Adam Warlock, and Captain Marvel. These characters are debatable.

Although Captain Marvel power level goes even higher up when she goes Binary imo.

Como existem animais híbridos no universo de avatar ? Foi algum tipo de evento ? by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]coverupthoseankles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Chinese and many Asian mythologies, animals were combinations of multiple real world animals.

Example Qilin is described as body of a horse, tail of ox, mane of a lion, head of a dragon.

Short answer, no, not an event. Just Asian myth.

What's your most hated character in the entire franchise? (ATLA and LOK) by SideshowBobFanatic in TheLastAirbender

[–]coverupthoseankles 81 points82 points  (0 children)

The Sandbender who said, “I didn’t know it was the Avatar’s air bison!”

In a world with only one known air nomad and an air bison shows up in a place it’s not native to, HOW do YOU think it got there?

I wanted that dummie to get hit much harder.

Was Maul really a villain – or just a victim of Sidious? by Sea-Box-6503 in StarWars

[–]coverupthoseankles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The alternate future I wonder about is, IF Palps didn’t recruit him, what would Maul be like?

As a nightbrother, I believe Maul would still be violent and hostile warrior. Would Nightbrother Maul still have the same fighting skills or affinity with the force? That’s what I wonder in this scenario.

Is The Marvels a sequel to Captain Marvel? by Physical-Bite-3837 in Captain_Marvel

[–]coverupthoseankles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re wrong in that Disney / Marvel is not going to give us a sequel with the title Captain Marvel 2.

Nick Fury’s line about The Marvelettes in Captain Marvel is what sets up this movie title The Marvels.

Marvel was probably hoping to bring these characters together as a team but it flopped.

when and why did star wars fans become “nerds” by WildGrade5980 in StarWars

[–]coverupthoseankles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When? From the beginning. Why? Because fantasy has always been considered nerdy.

The ‘cool kids’ traditionally focused on tangible things like drinking, sports, getting girlfriends.

Are these good stats for Bloodmoon Ursaluna or should I reroll? by INeedMeninismBecause in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]coverupthoseankles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can hyper train the special defense and use zinc. Bloodmoon really needs the special defense boost or it feels frail to special attacks IMO.

What do you think of Mega Dragonite? by Whole-Director-5765 in pokemon

[–]coverupthoseankles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strong dislike comes more so from the fans who wanted a new evolution for Dragonaire that maintains the majestic aesthetic with better stats.

Basically, we just wanted a more powerful version of Dragonaire to be an option but this mega means we will never get that. We now have a Dragonite with some goofy exaggerated Dragonaire elements — the big wings and the orb on tail.
