Then you’re camping!

Gotta be unpredictable, the nozzles can smell intent.

I would bet that you’re all guys

Weirdly sexist take…

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

Lol OK bye.

Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.

Never heard of it before, but now I know what I’m doing this evening.

Same. I’ve been using magicearth but I keep my eyes open for any alternative to a popular google app , just so I have a backup if something goes wonky.

Yeah, I’ve never once seen anything but criticism over the US’s involvement in the middle east.

The most I’ve seen is a couple people saying the equivalent of “well SOMEONE had to do something about X” And a bunch of others jumping on them to clarify that X either never existed, or was massively exaggerated and the US isn’t the World Police.

Genuinely would love to see someone link a good faith comment trying to argue the above, so I can tell them all about how they’re a fucknut

Can you truly say you’ve had the HB experience if you haven’t recieved emoji/sticker/gif spam from people who weren’t alive for 9/11, have never been outside their country, and refuse to listen to opposing views, but know with full certainty that all western countries are 100% full of genociders and colonial rapists who all deserve the glorious death the super benign, extremely peaceful and misunderstood countries of North Korea, China, and Russia who have never once been correctly accused of human rights violations…

And of course, if they point out that your country has dipped into those things in the past, well your entire worldview is shattered and their whataboutism has solved everything and proves you deserve the death they crave for you.

Pfffff yeah if you don’t use a faday cage the size of a room in the style of Enemy of the State.

He said “communications platforms” not “misinformation, social engineering, and mass data collection platform masquerading as a social media platform”

Damn, hurry up! I’ve got pondering to do.

I started another re-watch this week and I’ve missed hearing Previously, on Battlestar Galactica.

Elevates the recap from this

To this

Hmm.

Well then If it’s also not someone from Saint Seiya, based off what you said it is or isn’t, that would be my knowledge of pre-2k anime exhausted.

I wouldn’t say “embarrassing” unless you are actually embarrassed by it.

There are certain pieces of media I have connected with that I won’t get into detail about, but I wrote up a whole fanfiction about back in the day. Looking back, I’d say my past self certainly loved one of the characters. I’m not embarrassed by that, but I don’t like… Have it in my dating profile.

It’s certainly unorthodox to say you’re “in love” with a fictional character, but ultimately as long as it isn’t a detriment to your mental well-being or “real life”, then ultimately does it matter if someone might giggle at your expense?

Maybe not the point, but still fun.

I’m guessing someone from the Macross series, maybe Robotech.

Because nobody ever talks about those, and some of the characters are pretty relatable and get in some sketchtastic situations that take awhile to be saved from.

Ultimately I don’t want to be told the real answer. It’s just fun to guess.

I’m not saying this to try and downplay your own emotions, but some level of “not wanting to see my favorite character in pain” is pretty normal for everyone. Not to this extent, but on some level, for everyone.

In Stargate Atlantis, when Dr Rodney McKay gets a brain parasite that turned his brain into basically a child, I lost my shit. I had to stop the episode to take a break multiple times because I literally couldn’t see the screen. Didn’t matter that I was certain they would have him back to normal by the end of the episode. Doesn’t matter that I know how the episode ends now. Still can’t watch it all in one go without problems.

That might have more to do with personal phobias though, because every other time he’s in danger I react about the same way the other characters do. Eye roll and a chuckle, because he’s probably overreacting out of anxiety (definitely not something I would do… Heh…)

As others have said, and I’m just confirming, empathy is pretty normal, and likely the closest thing in English at least. Can someone ask a German?

People don’t grasp immortality and infinite time.

“High in the North in a land called Svithjod there is a mountain. It is a hundred miles long and a hundred miles high and once every thousand years a little bird comes to this mountain to sharpen its beak. When the mountain has thus been worn away a single day of eternity will have passed.”

Honestly, this right here is the main reason I don’t believe any real-world bending would end any way other than Earth Kingdom dominance. Peaceful dominance, hopefully.

You can’t wipe out their infrastructure as long as someone is alive who knows how it’s done.

Oh, fire nation bulldozed your house because they felt like it? Well boom. Stomp stomp punch. New identical house made of stone.

Bridge collapsed to cause chaos? Stomp stomp punch, it’s back.

Don’t feel safe living out in the open where fire nation scouts could murderhobo you harder than my last D&D group? Stomp stomp punch, now you have a vast mansion underground in which you can simply… Not go above ground until you need to.

Of course, underground living isn’t simple as “hole in ground, hide all day” but still… There is 0 reason the EK shouldn’t go full Vietnam War tactics.
