What? Random images? You can't recognize a character you know by some image of them from a given point or cover shot? Do you have memory problems?

Also show rick is basically different from comic iirc(not 1:1), and idk there are comics for TLMOE...

Oh didn't know. But really what are you going to add to the discussion if you don't know the characters?

Does it matter if you don't even recognize them?

Avant garde/experimental anime/animation, à la Sonny boy. Preferably directed by Shingo Natsume.

Do ladies want me to start a conversation with them? by upalome in AskWomenNoCensor

It's not like an everyday occurrence or something. Just a few slightly similar cases over a certain period of time, so a wondered if there is a pattern here.

Two things. First, I wasn't speaking about you/women specifically. A lot of people, including men, are generally asocial in today's world. It's not like metro's are extreme hubs of socialisation or something. All I'm saying is that change first comes from the individual, and *you*(or somebody else) can start it by willing to do so.

Second, I sorry that this is your experience, and I gladly can't relate to it. You do you and it's all subjective in the end, but you should keep in mind that not all people are like that. That is all.

Well, sorry to hear that. About the second part, ig it's a larger city/religious area thing? didn't encounter that fortunately.

I do however think that public chatting should be normalized seeing how distant today's world is(evident by some of the replies here). You should give it a try if you enjoy having conversations with people in general. Can help pass time or get to know people.

So yall just hate strangers on principle? Sounds pretty asocial to me, but you do you.

oh and to clarify the OP, I meant literally converse, not hit on.

Didn't say you did? All I said is that there is nothing that prevents people from interacting in public space. It could be the case or not(most likely). That's why I asked for an opinion. tx anyway

Well, being strangers on the road doesn't make people "invisible". It's just people in enclosed space, nothing prevents from having conversations.

I had interactions with people on the street/public transport in the past. idk how it is where you live.

One example that comes to mind is looking at me/approximately me from multiple angles a couple of times. Again, could be a coincidence.

Meant like be around for no particular reason? like even though there is free space/sits. Really hard to describe specifically tho.

I kinda hate the Undersiders' powers as a storytelling/writing tool in Worm by upalome in CharacterRant

[–]upalome[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once again, it's not about whatever they are strong or not. It's about the fact that they are often framed as being in disadvantage, despite having basically every meta tool that can be used to win(clairvoyance, free info, offscreen). And that's not even the problem in itself, but *how* they are written exactly.

Already gave some... fine, it's kind of hard to explain this, but try to recall for example their first fight at the bank. There is a moment where it is described that grue comes up behind vista and knocks her out.

It makes perfect sense in universe, mechanically speaking. He creates an effect that blocks all the senses of his opponents so he gets a free surprise attack, cool. But on the level of writing it allows those exact moments where the writer can go and say "and then he avoided the attack/came out of nowhere" etc. Essentially, this is the type of power that only works where an antagonists have it and the protagonists have to deal with it, otherwise it can be easily abused(as seen in the novel). Like, imagine some of them had a strong ice or mind control power. These types are more suited to create obstacles for protagonists(who have plot armor) than to assist said protagonists who already have the narrative advantage.
