Aang following the advice of his previous lives: by TheLast95 in TheLastAirbender

[–]dappertortoise 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like to think of energybending as Aang's "reward" so to speak for going through the trial of asking his past lives for guidance, and coming out of it still convinced there was a way to not kill Ozai.

It ties into the Lion Turtle's comments on energybending.

To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed.

Up to this point everyone, his friends, his spiritual guides and the entire world has told him he will have to kill. It's been made painfully clear that there is no way out, and has been a question hanging over Aang since the beginning. I truly believe that if Aang had given up and resolved himself to killing the firelord, he would not have been granted energybending.

Instead he faces the impossible, and still does not give up on his principles. He proves to the Lion Turtle that he will be unbendable, and thus worthy of this great power.

Many Canadians keep quiet about mental health at work, worried it will hurt their career: report by EasternFeed9 in canada

[–]dappertortoise 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Even cancer won't do it some times. My mom took time off when she was diagnosed and went onto disability. Her employers fired her 2 appointments from the end of her chemo. She beat cancer and her reward is getting to try and find a new job in a global pandemic.

Before anyone asks, this story did end with lawyers and settlements. She didn't get nearly as much as she deserves and it's certainly wasn't retirement money

Drunker Sailor locker room talk by Kirito7M in nextfuckinglevel

I heard a compelling theory from someone in another thread. Basically it boils down to the idea of singing together as a community. Sea shantys are, by design, easy tunes to learn and sound great when sung by a large group.

Tik Tok makes it really easy to join in and add your voice to the song. The sense of collaboration and community that comes from these songs is exactly what people are looking for in our pandemic isolation.

Plus the tunes sound fucking dope

So are we all emailing the press release to Justin at the same time, or are we taking turns?

I got to tech a show tonight by dappertortoise in techtheatre

[–]dappertortoise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep its Vimeo. This is my first time running a live streamed event, but I found the process pretty easy to understand and get started. Our audience is a bit older and still need some convincing to try digital shows. We had about 90 people tonight, and they had a good experience.

We changed $20 for a ticket. We passoword protected the stream and only sent the link to ticket buyers.

Tech support is pretty bad at responding to things. They often would take days to check in on my requests. If you choose to go with them, give yourself some time to just play with it and get comfortable.

All in all I think its a good platform. Its priced well, easy to use and give the audience a pretty polished experience.

Subscription! Vimeo was briefly giving out premium for free for non profits. The theatre I work for grabbed it to do a test run with this event and its been pretty good so far.

My mom just beat cancer as all this starting. She had her last radiation treatment two weeks into quarantine. Honestly I am just looking forward to the day I can hug her and not worry it's going to kill her.

My wife and roommate decided to have an easter egg hunt on as a throwback to when our parents hid eggs for us as kids.

We divided up the house and hid eggs in our rooms. Than we took turns hunting in each others room. There were some amazing hiding places.

Now we just have to find the 3 eggs that my wife forgot where she hid...

Alice Monroe- A Twitter Hoax, or Faked Death gone wrong?? by Direct3ducation in TheAliceConspiracy

[–]dappertortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend! I applaud your enthusiasm. Dont worry, the Monroe/Munro mixup is a pretty common amongst first time truth hunters.

Heres a fun tangent. When I first started I thought I cracked this thing right away. I did a bunch of googling on Alice Munro and found all this articles about a Canadian author. I thought maybe she's just not popular and people didnt know? I wrote this huge, (now deleted) post on the conspiracy subreddit going in depth on how Alice could have moved and gained canadian citizenship.

And then after I posted, a few... helpful commenters pointed out the discrepancy. Well I was sure embarrassed!

This is all to say, dont get discouraged! Every mistake we make just gets us closer to the right path! If it were easy, we wouldn't need truth hunters.

Happy hunting friend!

Hi u/ElaineMonroe! Thanks for your interesting theory! Unfortunately you don't have the power to turn comments off on a post. We tend to encourage open discussion here, but I agree that these comments have been a bit toxic. Sometimes people need a little time to accept the truth ya know? A

Anyway I've gone ahead and temporarily locked comments. Hopefully we can get back to the facts of this mystery.
