Yeah I was thinking of this too. Even if your “plate” is broken, it CAN be made whole again & it can become greater than it was before.

Is there lore for this screenshot?

You’re being obtuse. None of that is make up.

I just watched a Veritasium video that said that IQ is not very strongly correlated with higher income.

I’ll take a look at the article too.

Except that we’re not plates, and most of us aren’t so fragile that we cannot recover from being emotionally distraught.

No, we don’t all use make up in some form or another.

Sounds to me like a way to speedrun into an unhealthy codependency.

Edit: I do think it’s very sweet, on the surface, but I looked deeper & I didn’t like it anymore.

Unprompted, another has noticed the power of fiction. Perhaps there is a reason why we tell stories.

It is? I usually just ask for like 3 things & then I pick one from those.

Yelling at people on the internet is totally more effective. You’re right, my bad. I’ll start yelling at people too, instead of using fiction to inspire people.

I thought if they took out the werewolf thing, it would’ve been so much better.

“There is a wound that won’t heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it’s here. It’s here and it’s not visiting anymore. It wants to stay. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness. It is never more alive than when we sleep. It’s easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it’s true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it’s too late. But I’ll tell you this… If I could do it again, I’d wake up early and be fighting these bastards… from the start. Fight the Empire!"

“There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.”

I like some Shorts. Long-form videos are great, but way too often I see 15+ minute videos about a topic that shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to discuss.

Maybe. They can do it if they can’t get workers to work. So, one way or another, it is partially their fault.

That’s usually why I quit jobs.

The guy from Berserk? I never read it, but based on what I heard, that manga is scuffed.

My wife: I love Rocket 🥰

Me: I hate Rocket 😡

Opposites attract is real

I did not watch those shows

Yeah disgust is definitely part of it, but I remember being offended it was even on TV. Lol, I was a peculiar child. Edit: ohh yeah I haven’t been able to watch Rick & Morty either.
