It's called Small Kitty, Big City

Will you make your way home or will you explore what the big city has to offer first? I mean, getting home is obviously your main priority. Obviously. Well, it's one of your priorities. Maybe more ...

I had to go to an UrgentCare in a random strip mall to do a health physical (ROTC moment) and I was feelin pretty hungry afterward, so I was lurkin around to see what was open. Nothing, except for a place that offered "Toasted" Subs, quotes included. I was hoping that those quotation marks were just unnecessary due to poor grammar, but the second I walked in I saw the "order here" sign was in the shape of a blunt and I knew those quotes were intentional. My 18 year old ass immediately thought "Hey, it's probably illegal for me to be here" and I immediately walked out lmao

Well yeah but I'm just saying

Ya know now that I think about it

#

Gru wanted to kill every living thing by stealing the moon

I thought he just wanted to steal it to own it, not to kill, never really watched the show though to be fair

Oh right theres a minions show now right?

idk what tv show you mean tbf

Pretty sure Stargate had 2 or 3 episodes where the enemy tried to destroy Earthy by just positioning a giant rock

I am pretty sure there was one where Apophis put a giant rock bc he couldn't break the treaty with the Ancients

And Thor said they couldn't fo anything about it bc it was a natural disaster

they really went overboard there

Oh, it was Anubis, not Apophis

they're essentially gods when they ascend

couldnt they at least get rid of the replicators? pretty please

Nah, having a threat everyone can focus on keeps the lower class species busy and out of their hair

Stargate Atlantis spoiler
||The way the Ancient in Atlantis interfered I think is great. She isn't changing anything or causing advantage||
But, I look at the Ancients power in the aspect of: if I see a butterfly in a spider web, do I interfere? If I save the butterfly, it could live and reproduce. It's offspring could be beautiful or decimate a crop. Or, I could leave it to possibily be eaten or save itself. If it is eaten, it nurishes the spider that may reproduce and its offspring could keep other creatures in check or decimate a populate of needed creatures.

#

I do not know what my interference will cause or prevent.

#

I think they should interfere in the replicators to an extent. Deter them from advancing in certain directions in some ways, but keep that from the Asgard. Do not allow the replicators to decimate systems that have not yet been able to grow/live. At the very least, slow them to give them time at life.

"muh combustion car companies own all patents for electric cars and they dont use em, waaaaai"

peak folio
#

I mean…

#

Maybe they shouldn’t have bought Activision

queen vale
#

For a lot of car manufacturers, making EV's would mean an entire retooling of manufacturing lines, and they aren't gonna do that unless they can get the big win, but by owning the patent they prevent any opposition from coming up either

peak folio
#

I’m not gonna get into the logistics/politics of that.

#

I’ll just say this isn’t the same situation as say the EV1. 😅

hard peak
#

I'm not going to insinuate that I know business logistics, but that seems a lot like the woman who bought and destroyed 100 copies of something, which I think was a toy so "they couldn't have it".

night plume
#

A lot of companies buy out other companies or patents just to shelf the product. It makes you have to buy theirs.

An example I can give you is one I chased down recently. Was in need of a fire control panel that had specific capabilities. About 5 to 10 years ago there were many companies that could supply this. Notifier-Honeywell bought the small companies up and then bought the patents from the larger companies. They made their panel the only one you could purchase.

To earn more profit, they discontinued it for a smaller model, meaning if you wanted the same capabilities, instead of buying 1 panel, you had to buy multiple smaller ones that are priced the same as the large one.

well I have been back and forth on the guy calling out his bs

night plume
icy pecan
#

But it has actually made me think element wise

night plume
#

I am not big into the last airbender series and I find that movie pretty bad. It is kind of like they saw the series was a hit thing, read a synopsis, and tried to fill in the blanks while drunk

#

I was told the new live action series isn't too bad. Haven't watched it myself, so no personal opinion. Heard there were changes people are mad about, but it isn't bad enough to raise pitchforks.

icy pecan
#

Wouldn't technically air bending enhance fire bending

peak folio
#

🫸💨🔥

night plume
#

To my knowledge, they get into things like that further in the animated series

icy pecan

I mean I know you can smother out a fire with a lot of air but you can also use air to manipulate fire to grow it

You have the right idea

While we are on that subject your body is made of 70% water

Fire is a balance of fuel oxygen and heat. Too much or too little of any of these can lead to chaos

Fire and earth
Earth>fire
Earth and air
I Feel like earth

night plume
#

Could probably google battles where Aang fights alongside Zuko or battles after Zuko's training and see some fire/air combos

queen vale
#

Fire can overheat and melt earth if intense enough, you'd need to use enough earth to smother or cut off the oxygen

icy pecan
#

I mean you could fire blast someone with fire and water and boil them alive

Besides, hard to focus on bending when your pants are ablaze

I thought normal warfare was brutal

icy pecan
#

Element wars are something else

#

Now thinking about the pal battles

queen vale
#

Element warfare is just an extension of what we do already. Kinetic is like Earth, we use fire, chemical weapons as air, and floods as water

#

Honestly Pal (And Pokemon) battles would lead to mass extinction events on some of their attack and characteristics

night plume
#

Psh, pokemon attacks can't kill you, look at Ash

icy pecan
#

I mean flood warfare is still a thing now cause of a certain conflict

#

Ash isn't human

queen vale
#

Huh.. Technically you can commit electronic warfare with earthbending, as circuits are made of Silicon, and depending how they define earth...

icy pecan
#

I refuse to believe it

queen vale
#

He lifts Pokemon one handed that power lifters would struggle with, survives electric shocks that'd kill people.. and has been set afire multiple times

icy pecan
#

He has survived so many attacks

night plume
#

They had people born without the ability to bend, so, they still had other forms of warfare invented

queen vale
#

Also Team Rocket would be just splatted after their first Blast Off

icy pecan
#

Then again

#

All of the characters has survived things

sterile jolt
#

I mean water bending had been shown to manipulate slurry and mud, and manipulation of temperatures seems to be just a water bending thing outright

icy pecan
#

Brock with poison jab

queen vale
#

You should be able to change temperature with any of the bending, it's just a matter of compressive friction generating heat

sterile jolt
#

Heck metal bending follows the same principle of ".000001% of it is my element so it counts"

queen vale
#

Mmm snapping those bones because Calcium is a metal

icy pecan
#

Couldn't the ground beat metal

#

Because of weight

small berry
#

ground beats metal cause metal lives in the ground

queen vale
#

Weight is a factor of density, Aluminum vs Lead for example

night plume
#

Toph, Earth Bender, is the metal bender

#

Idk if there were others

sterile jolt
#

Metal bending is just identifying the impurities and using those to manipulate the metals around it, blood bending is manipulating the 75% of the water in our system, in theory air Benders could manipulate balloons and lungs

small berry
#

most of bending doesn't actually make sense

#

don't overthink it, the author put minimal effort

Now I'm thinking Naruto elements lol

It's really weird we teach security guys how to make bombs so they can more easily identify them, but I heard that's done

The funniest one to me was when one of my dad's friends came over. Don't remember why he was lounging inside instead of outside helping my dad, but, he began telling me how larger fireworks were made. (Just so we're clear, fireworks is not the word that goes there xD). He went into detail and I was listening intently bc this was so cool sounding to me. My dad came in, heard part of the convo, chewed him out bc he knew I would try to make something to put a crater in the yard xD.

Later, since he wasn't allowed to talk about that. I had mentioned being interested in chemistry. He started telling me how to make a moonshine still xD
When my dad came in and heard that, he dragged his friend outside and he was no longer allowed to talk to me.

Ironically, depending on the state, I'm pretty sure that making a still would be more of a felony than tampering with fireworks
