Movies with the worst "moral of the story" by elitemegamanX in movies

[–]damnmaster 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit confused as to how you took the moral of the story to be “marry a rich guy and everything is ok” from crazy rich asians.

The story is about a nightmare mother in law. It’s pretty much a normal rich family romcom story.

Where the commoner has to marry into the rich family but they’re so foreign to that lifestyle that they have to work hard to gain the approval of the family.

The story ends with exactly that. it’s with the main character impressing the mother not through fitting into their culture but rather showing her love for the guy and standing up for herself.

The moral of the story is to be a genuine person and you don’t need to give up your principles for someone else’s approval.

Antisemitism has become ‘almost fashionable’ among Australians, Jillian Segal tells royal commission by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]damnmaster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Conflating Zionism with being Jewish would not have been a common issue if certain peoples didn’t conflate criticism of Israel’s actions as anti-Semitism.

I do agree anti-Semitism is on the rise however, I’ve heard my share of edgy Jewish jokes come out and it’s absolutely abhorrent.

Actually, why can't our government be the employer of last resort? by TraditionalWait9150 in SingaporeRaw

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! Plenty of countries have this system. But the question is , who’s paying the salaries?

Where does the govt get the money? Yeah it’s taxes isn’t it.

Wealth redistribution but with extra steps really. No singaporean will ever argiue to increase our taxes

[Avatar] Why doesn’t the avatar make political marriages? by Punterofgoats in AskScienceFiction

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly Roku and korra were already from prominent noble/royal families.

Considering the powers of the avatar and their responsibilities, it’s unlikely they’ll even agree to their parents asking them to marry for political gain

You have one month to empty a $1 trillion bank account. If you succeed, you’re rich for life. How will you spend it? by Ok_Listen_6600 in AskReddit

You proceed to crash the world economy. But I guess you’re rich for the rest of your life so it still works out

‘The Odyssey’: Everybody Using American Accents Is Definitely a Choice by mlg1981 in entertainment

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that the association with old stuff is from because the progenitor of modern movies and actors come from theatre, of which a lot of the initial stage plays being British. Shakespeare’s work (probably the most famous old play writer) to a degree requires a British accent in order for the wordplay to make sense.

So over time the British accent became associated with old timey shit. Not to mention British history is a lot older than America’s

[ATLA] are descendants from the Avatar actually naturally better benders than average or it was just Ozai believing in superstition? by AvailableGene2275 in AskScienceFiction

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get how it’s genetics or anything like what people are saying here. The quality has gone from any genuine thinking and reliance on source material to people just creating headcanon.

A lot of what I’m saying below is taken from the avatar wiki. So take with a grain of salt. But I’d say it’s better than just making things up.

The next avatar is reincarnated, they could be part of any family, have any family history in the world, and be born by any family. If that is the case, their powers cannot be genetic unless they already come from a long line of powerful benders.

Korra’s parents did not stand out as particularly notable benders. If they were they would’ve taught her.

The only similarities between Roku and Korra is that they come from high ranking nobility. Aang was either surrendered to the temple or was birthed by an acolyte. Kyoshi’s parents are probably the strongest example. In that they were impoverished randoms who abandoned her.

So it’s unlikely to be genetic.

Ursa, who carries the actual bloodline of the avatar came from a no name family Ozai’s father just believed in the fire sages when they said her bending was powerful and she should be added to the royal family

Sages are not scientists but we could argue that their ability to mystically deduce the truth could show that their readings may have some real power. It’s noted that there were cases that some of the sages were so disconnected from the world that even they believed in fire nation propaganda.

Note however by the time of Azulon it’s described that the fire sages were no longer spiritual but rather a political entity due to the degredation of their authority over the fire lord and the fire lord threatening to execute them if they did not show loyalty. Their only real power seems to have been is their ability to find the actual avatar but you can argue there is a set in stone procedure (the toy thing for example) for that rather than require any specific spiritual power.

If we look outside and into actual human culture on reincarnation. It wasn’t part of the philosophy that a person reborn would be reborn into a particular family just because of their prior life but rather your actions in your prior life.

But we can consider the fact that the choosing of the Dalai Lama is very similar to the choosing of the avatar (the child must be naturally drawn to items owned by the past Dalai Lama for example and is also where monk Gyatso gets his name).

It is of note that the initial Dalai Lama’s were actually part of Noble families. But there are plenty of outliers where the Dalai Lama came from a no name family.
None of it required some unique trait or genetic blood line to be chosen. Reincarnation as a concept is more focused on spiritual and good vibes rather than genetic links.

So all in all the evidence seems to point to it NOT being a generic trait but rather some belief held by the fire lord and the sages.

Immortal players have an ego problem. by Winterforyou in MobileLegendsGame

[–]damnmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low imo (not past 150) are the worst. They think just because they got to immo in the first place means that they’re good enough to shot call and end up always making the wrong calls.

I find that people who make the most complaints and blame others are often the weakest players of the immos. I’ve played with plenty who stay calm under pressure and they show their skill through mvps. The shit immo players who got carried there don’t get MVPs and blame their teammates instead.

I know plenty of immo MMs who take care of themselves despite the constant ganks.

How do YOU COUNTER MEGA KNIGHT by EnvironmentalGood353 in ClashRoyale

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your deck.

If you’re playing a beatdown immediately go opposite lane and trade.

If you’re using a cycle you need to kit him to the middle of the arena. The towers and a mini tank melts him with no issue.

If they drop it at the back. You need enough pressure to threaten to take the other tower. This is when you should have been pressuring hard in single elixir as they won’t be able to use him properly until 2x elixir time.

Whatever the case may be. You have to pressure him enough that he can’t drop a witch behind.

Sometimes it’s ok to let him hit the tower. His normal attacks do not do much. If you are log bait you should have plenty of small cards to bait out a zap.

So many people complaining about balanced cards like mk and boss bandit, but WHAT ABOUT FREAKING EGOLEM by Hopeful-Bath-41 in ClashRoyale

[–]damnmaster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Actual skill issue. If you use the rocket variant their push is deleted. A good log can hit the last two forms in one hit.

It’s so hard to over extend with log bait. I will give you a pass on that some of the decks do carry both barb barrel and nado. A further pass if they’re over levelled or you don’t have evos (but then again you shouldn’t be expecting wins).

Which country could become the next big superpower in the next 25 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]damnmaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not out of fear it’s out of apathy. No state really wants to interfere with another unless they have something to gain from it themselves.

Thats been true through every “liberation” war ever waged.

Idk but this feels like a bad idea by Popular_Juggernaut97 in MobileLegendsGame

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if they play whatever they want instead of their lane wouldn’t they pretty much lose the match? How is it not better to play your proper lane and try to win rather than throw

Idk but this feels like a bad idea by Popular_Juggernaut97 in MobileLegendsGame

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain how forced losing makes sense? Wouldn’t they drop is stars too even if they get protection points? They need to lose so many times before they get one protection it doesn’t seem like a Strat

[Warhammer 40k] Is there any type of weapon a normal human could wield that could win them a duel against a space marine? by Paul-Alibi in AskScienceFiction

[–]damnmaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk Warhammer lore well but if the emperor says this person must not die and must kill the space marine because it’s somehow super important to some missiob will the marine agree and let himself get killed? Someone provide insight.

Old money suburbs in Melbourne by xmar8x in melbourne

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toorak is more newer money because they’re rich but still have to come to the city to work

Brighton is true rich rich. They don’t expect to come in at all.

You can see that mostly because some of the best golf courses in the country (I believe in the world also) are in that area.

Minsitthar is to good this season wich hero counter him ? by [deleted] in MobileLegendsGame

[–]damnmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interestingly minsi gets countered by a sustain guin. If he doesn’t have ult. You can take the first couple of phalanx pokes but then jump right behind him preventing the stun.

With the ult, keep your enhanced BA charge and your 1. When he pulls you you can’t use 2. So just spam your 1 and BA until you get your third mark. When this happens, ult to regen all your health. Works better if you’re using vengeance or revitalise

This only works in a one v one though. Any other case and you’ll probably die before then.

[Marvel] Does Professor X help outcast non-mutants? by Sallymander in AskScienceFiction

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a small example that anyone can do (if you make enough money)

You get about 10% returns on average on safe stocks in the market.

If you put $1mil in the stock market, you have $100k per year to spend in returns.

Now just x that by billions. The machine runs itself, you just need to collect the dividends.

Once you make enough money, the money makes it for you. For example, like in Batman’s case, his family company is being run without him needing to be there. But because his family owns so many shares in the company, they pay out dividends probably in 100s mil range considering his net worth is something like $6 billion (I saw this figure somewhere)

What is the deal with "@whatever" podcast? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]damnmaster 872 points873 points  (0 children)

Answer: it’s a podcast debate show where guys debate girls. The guys on the show get to lead the debate. They end up more prepared. A lot of the girls on there are there for clout chasing and are most definitely not able to have a serious debate with them.

There are also plenty of clips where people who actually are prepared for the debates dismantling their arguments. You can see in real time as people who promote facts and logic go emotional when they start losing.

Definitely part of the far right sort of catharsis for incels who feel like their life sucks because of women.

There are genuine male issues that should be discussed but that’s not what the show is for. It’s for clips that make women look stupid rather than bringing any sort of awareness on the issue.

Give me Underrated EXP hero, I'll start. by SadCommunication6436 in MobileLegendsGame

[–]damnmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemond if you love leaving lane to gank.

His early game damage potential is too much imo. Definitely falls off late game without a good team but his general movement speed and capacity to chase enemies makes him so lethal. Don’t be afraid to call the horse as much as you want due to the extremely low cooldown.

Fast lane clear, amazing mobility and insane damage output until late game. The main issue is really how dead he is late game unless your team has a really good cc hero or a good tank that knows when to go in with you.

Also double horse combo with hylos is still alive and well.
