On the one hand, being friends with people who have severe chronic illnesses, and living with someone with progressively degeneraating mobility due to chronic illness, I can say with absolute certainty that after long enough of being laid down and mostly immobile, some of them absolutely COULD jump up out of bed on excitement and manage to walk the rest of the day. They will all pay for it for a week or more but neuro divergent people don’t all have the bet impulse control.

ON the other hand… FUCK grandpa Joe.

Lmao tell me you’ve never experienced cycling in any capacity outside a park or parking lot without telling me.

Give me a fucking bike lane or shut the fuck up, I’ve been literally forced off the road every single year I’ve been cycling since 15, I have been hit by cars more times than I can count, I have been hit with things thrown by cars, I have been hit by city busses, semis, and even fucking cops.

I wear hi vis clothing, my bike has lights front back and sides, at least one constant and one flashing in each direction. I leave 3ft between me and anything to my right, and am as far to the right as I can be without ILLEGALLY riding on the sidewalk

Where in the ABSOLUTE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO

I really think avatar should have done a little more to show life for non benders.

We get a little bit here and there, but never really see “normal people who have to be on their toes around benders” kind of life outside of the single western lone-wanderer episode where Zuko left Iroh and was helped by an earth kingdom family, who then all turn on him when they find out he’s a fire bender for sure, claiming to be prince of the fire nation.

Damn that is a good episode…

But Imagine being a normal person going about your life when BAM half your house is gone because a teenager still wrangling with his abilities accidentally shot a boulder (not THE Boulder) through your front wall. Are the cops gonna do anything about it? Or are they gonna shrug and tell you they don’t have any benders on their payroll so nobody wants to risk getting sunk through the floor.

They crave cuddles.

Who among us cannot say the same?

Getting real tired of seeing cool art stuff and then they bury the leer with “check out the whole thing on twitter/insta/reddit” and if you bring up the issues with those platforms everyone trips over themselves to justify why their use of the neonazi-billionaire-pedo owned sites is justified…

Yeah, fuck that guy for not being born in a different place or having the socioeconomic standing to pack up their entire life and move to a better place. He deserves to be miserable for other people’s collective actions!

I love fucking up their data.

Haha, bitches I had no ovaries to begin with, and now you think I’m ovulating soon!

Mwahahaha :3

I was super excited to try it out, and after spending about a week binging it, I came to the conclusion I didn’t have fun playing it.

It did have a bit of a learning curve but once it clicks, you’re breezing along. It just didn’t fill my city building void.

This just in: Headlines differ when news is years apart! World in shambles. More at 11.

Sure buddy, you’re not lashing out at all in these comments and it doesn’t sound like a person with too much time at all.

Because when someone has nothing else going on in their life, lashing out is easy and gives them a sense of superiority.

Go ahead and chuckle at the irony here lmao

I’m a big anti-fan of modern cowboy emo, but that’s hardly unique.

Fuck any song that starts out with a riff from another song that makes you think it’s the other song. This also applies to small bits here and there in the song.

I didn’t know who zendaya was until Dune. I heard the name, never saw the face until dune. Apparently she was a super big name by then? Idk I’ve heard she’s in a lot of things but most of them I’ve never heard of or never cared to watch.

It really just depends on how they’re famous and what media people consume.

I’m absolutely positive there are dozens of artists of one type or another that I have never heard of that would make people do a double take and ask me what rock I’ve been living under.

Sometimes I feel like that Daniel Thrasher sketch where hoodie guy doesn’t know who Lil’ Pregnant is.

It’s a large boulder (the size of a small boulder) about 4ft wide, never seen more than waist height, a little closer to one of the “walls” of the quarry.

I’ll have to find an episode with it. It’s mostly visible after season 1 and before season 8 or 9. Idk what happened to uncover/bury/move it, but it does move like twice during the show, even though I’m positive it’s an actual rock and not a prop.

I want to say the first time I noticed it was during the episodes where they’re trying to rescue Bra’tac and Ry’ac from the mine? After tretonin was developed. (Ry’ac says “it is hard to ration that which you do not have” when Bra’tac pretends to be taking his tretonin)

When I see it again, I will definitely post to Chevron 7.

Don’t quote me on this, because I can’t remember the specific episode, comic, or book, but I vaguely remember the ancients settled places thy were most like their original homeworld of Alterra, and gave them the best comfort overall. That just happened to be what the Pacific Northwest region of North America looks like, so most of the planets are still pretty close to that. Some obviously have continued morphing over the millennia, but it makes a nice explanation for why everywhere looks like the same 30 mile area around their BC studio lol.

At the time they didn’t really know much about the ancients, definitely didn’t know that Atlantis took off from Antarctica 5 million years ago…

That’s fair, however it always felt a little weird for the scientist of all people to make such a broad generalization.

Always one of my favorite parts of that episode.

You can see a decent bit depending on terrain in most places, more if the terrain is higher than surrounding areas, but she pops out of a crack, looks around and sees ice for a few hundred yards, and gives up.

In fairness, without direction, some form of marker, or obvious landmark, wandering around in a blizzard would have been death for both of them… Not that they would have been able to walk to civilization even if they DIDN’T have injuries…

Still though, they’ve experienced varied terrain in plenty of planets, so assuming the whole planet is ice is something Sam would have corrected someone else on in a heartbeat. (and also made the argument that for all intents and purposes, for them it may as well be a whole planet)

I wonder how much better we could have had it if the location budget were like 4x what they had. Eventually you start to recognize specific rocks in the quarry… My wife likes to call one rock Terry because it has two vaguely eye-shaped holes, and “because it’s terrible how often they use that place”

My father in law used to wear contacts.

He would often forget them and wear them to bed, sometimes for days, and then when he went to do things in the morning, sometimes one would be missing.

This went on for several years and one day he brings up some “minor discomfort” in his left eye.

After some deduction, a lot of eye rolling and tons of pain, they managed to get most of the pieces to about 10-12 contacts behind the left eye, and 4-5 in the right eye.

They sometime ripped and seprted into different spots around his eye and he apparently was in a massive mount of pain before actually speaking up about it.

I had an eyelash grow toward my eyeball once and I thought I was dying…

When I drove a pickup? Lol no pickup drivers are 99% assholes and pieces of shit.

Now that I’m driving an older model car? Also no, I see a parts bin I can pillage when my car dies.

A dotted line and a symbol on the ground do not a bike lane make.

Give me some of them concrete barrier separations.
