  • Sorta, but the air nation has an actual form of martial arts that we see Ang use all the time, and Sokka never seems to learn it.

    He largely sticks to weapon based fighting, which is fine, but it’s clear he never picks up hand to hand martial arts (which is prevalent in both the air kingdom and the earth kingdom)

    Honestly would’ve been cool to see him take some time to learn hard martial arts in the earth kingdom, and perhaps a sokka+ang episode where he learns a bit of air nation’s “go with the flow” style of movement



  • Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren’t even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.

    Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.

    Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.

    But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can’t handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.


  • It’s heavily because you call out to your SO a lot, and their full name is a mouthful.

    Typically words like “babe”, “hun”, etc are the lowest effort pet name. The “b” percussive is one of the easiest to pronounce.

    Usually this is simply to make communication faster and easier, “hun” is way faster to say than whatever their full name is.

    This becomes do commonplace that after being together for many years, their full name is reserved for emergencies.

    Like if you cut yourself or are hurt or whatever, you instinctually use their full name to grab their attention and alert them. (People alert to their full name way easier and can hear it better)

    This results in producing an alarm “wtf?” response when you use it casually, it makes them whip their head up and their brain goes “is something wrong?”

    Then when they realize the situation is fine, it becomes a sort of “you spooked me for nothing! Don’t!” result.

    You effectively reserve the full name only when you are trying to get their attention.





  • I’d recommend you actually read the very article and explicitly try and look for a genuine quote where an individual explicitly is quoted as saying Biden should drop out.

    Note how everytime it’s a generalized paraphrase at not an actual quote.

    And interestingly enough all the actual quotes are more along the lines of “He should be doing x”, or etc.

    And even more so many articles capstone at the end with “when asked they re-affirmed support for biden”

    The articles wiggle word their way just enough to subtly imply someone is saying he should drop, yet they can’t manage to find a single actual concrete quote of anyone actually saying it, which shouldn’t be that hard to do.

    That should be a red flag for you that the article is being purposefully vague on purpose.

    Stop falling for the bullshit. Actually read what the article says and look at the quotes, note the dissonance between the quotes and the paraphrasing…


  • This is fundamentally the standard “people are saying…” classic propoganda engine that trump literally used for over 4 years straight.

    Step 1: Trump and/or his team talks about <thing> without any basis, just remarking on it Step 2: News cycles pick it up and remark about Trump remarking on it Step 3: Trump now re-iterates the talking point but this time saying its in the news Step 4: The news once again re-iterates it

    At this point its so obfuscated in layers its hard to pick up the original source being “Trump just bullshitting about nothing” and then it becomes news

    It’s such a tired and classic play its insane that people somehow eight years later are still falling for it.

    Biden did a fucking press conference very clearly stating he is running, I don’t know how the fuck he can be more explicit that this isnt up for discussion, it’s happening, stop fucking spreading some form of implication it isnt. He so very clearly is who the democrats are pushing forward, everything else is propaganda bullshit to make people second guess.







  • That doesnt take care of it, nor can voters take care of it.

    Even if Biden gets re-elected, this ruling stays in play perpetually until someone undoes it, which requires the supreme court justices to walk it back after a period of time.

    The only option is to use the newly granted powers themself to undo the granted powers.

    It’s, imo, the only play.

    Also this has nothing to do with being a “petulant child”, it proves the point of how the granted powers are over-reaching.

    If they werent over-reaching, then he wouldnt be able to use them to do this. It becomes a forced move on the justices behalf.

    They either:

    a. Accept the powers are to overpowered and in turn are forced to, through the command itself, have to roll it back or b. Rule that Biden cant do that, which forces cementing an upper limit on what the powers can do (it establishes a baseline that you cant just use the powers to force supreme justice acts and/or to order people to die)

    Either way, it either neuters the powers to some extent or completely nullifies them.
