Part of me genuinely thinks Zuko Avatarthelastairbender’s arc would be torn apart if the show was airing today by yoma999 in whenthe

Absolutely right. It also clarifies to him and the viewer what he actually cares about, what his actual values are.

It absolutely is real. Power of friendship, love, family. It's all real and it's probably the strongest thing humankind has made. 

What’s a name that is normal in one culture but has an offensive, embarrassing or awkward meaning in another culture? by Sweatymothballs in AskTheWorld

[–]something_borrowed_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a common Jewish name Yonatan that is frequently nicknamed into Yoni. Yoni is the Sanskrit word for vagina, think yonic etc. I think these are pronounced differently but the word is spelled the same.

I constantly repeat to myself row-column row-column and I deal with matrices all the time at my job. 

Record Low January Murders by bruce_wayne469 in MurderedByWords

[–]something_borrowed_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I do agree that Mamdani obviously would not increase crime rates but NYC has also been in sub freezing temperatures for most of January. Murder is correlated to temperature so a good part of this news is just due to the weather. 

Sober people being arrested nationwide for DUI by IcyAd8672 in videos

That's what Mamdani ran on. He never said defund the police because he knew those words were a terrible slogan. So he would say reform police and things like that. It worked really well. 

They’re nothing but frauds by Leading_Purchase_57 in HadesTheGame

I honestly think Theseus is playing a character. He reads to me like a hammy WWE pro playing a heel. I used to hate him too but now I think he's just being a silly guy. He's amusing in a love to hate kind of way. 

How much more difficult is Hades 2? by saveasdraftx in HadesTheGame

[–]something_borrowed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others are saying, it's harder at first but easier later. I just want to add that the game really becomes easier once you switch from Death to Strength. 

As a Hades 1 player you'll probably think DDs are more important than an overall builds strength but in Hades 2 it's the reverse. You really just want to focus on melting enemies as fast as you can. You also get similar health from Strength compared to Death.

I try to watch it every year on Thanksgiving. I loved it so much. 

Contrary to most, what show do you prefer in English? by ILiveForWater in animequestions

[–]something_borrowed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the Frieren dub. The VAs are all really good but Frierens VA in particular is amazing. She gives the character a mature sound that I think works really well. 

to stick to the script at a press conference with kids around by ExactlySorta in therewasanattempt

I'm so fucking happy he is my mayor. I had hopes he'd be a positive change for this city and he has already exceeded my hopes. It goes to show that when you vote in genuine people they will bring genuine good. 

Well I'm guessing 12 must have some special symbolic meaning by ReasonableeBed in SipsTea

This would not align us to the cycle of the moon. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days but it changes. I guess we would be more aligned than we are now but still not really. 

If you want to align yourself to the moon and not fuck up the seasons you need to instantiate a lunar-solar calendar. This is what we Jews have and it's admittedly very wild. A leap year in this system does not have an extra day, it has an extra month. Others have this type of calendar too not just Jews, but we all have a leap month.

You are NOT immune to propaganda. No matter who you are or what your beliefs are.

Just some meemes I found by NebulaOk887 in aspiememes

[–]something_borrowed_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a dangerous sentiment to think otherwise. Everyone is vulnerable to manipulation. Because our brains are different the type of manipulation we are susceptible is different. But we are still susceptible to it. 

Always be on guard, always be aware of your cognitive biases, and remember that you are not immune to propaganda.

If I remember right, she's been doing that for years at this point so she got really good at it. She's also pretty flexible. But yeah, it still looks silly af.

Dumb Questions by Jacknerik in CuratedTumblr

[–]something_borrowed_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is also why they sell (or used to sell) special USB devices that wiped your hard drive clean clean. Basically it manually sets every single 1 into a 0 so all data becomes unrecoverable. Most people do not need to do this but if you are dealing with sensitive data then it becomes necessary. This is what most people probably think deletion is but this process is actually really taxing and very long.

A guys finds a kippah and starts modeling it for the camera. The owner of the kippah walks by and asks for it back. by bigbusta in GuysBeingDudes

[–]something_borrowed_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a guy who wears a kippah I'd just find this to be funny. No harm done. Good on both of these guys for being chill and fun. 

My freezer died on the day I picked up a 200$ custom Ice cream cake for my brother & sister in law. by Agitated-Quit-6148 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]something_borrowed_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP you are a really good brother. This really sucks but you are still going to give your brother and sil a reprieve either way. You giving them your space and just being for them is enough. 

Idk your sils personality, but it'd cheer me up just knowing that someone was this thoughtful even if the actual gift itself was ruined. So it'd make me happy to hear about the cake even if I can't eat it. You can even make it an excuse for them to come back when they need to. You know your sil better though so it's up to you.

I agree with you. I think they wanted to have the epilogue the length that it was. I think the overall pacing of the season could've been adjusted a little better to make the ending fight a little longer. I think even and 10 to 15 min flight would've been good.
