Read that and could have sworn it was Neera

I liked it and would recommend it, if youre into or want to get into nuclear politics. It is a really well made film even if it lasts a little long.

For being a silent majority they sure are an annoying small minority

I got a 14% raise because of my union, still living in poverty tho because everything else just got more expensive by 20% on average.

I hate wearing masks but its not fucking hard to do if youre just glad handing a bunch of people in an air conditioned space. As you long as you arnt doing hard work in the sun/humidity theres very little reason to get mad at masking.

I was so fucking pissed when they took that away, it was surprisingly helpful to know what time of day it was over there.

This feels good, but its far too smart a critique to be what the very bad writers of Korra thought of.

Politics of the show fucking blows, but imo, the worst thing the show does is Korra.

Korra has a problem in that the show sells her as a competent badass with a small oversight in her abilities in being unable to airbend, and achieve the actual avatar state. But throughout the first book she's constantly losing every fight, unable to bring her mix of bending abilities to bear in an interesting way and achieve victory. All she has to do at any time is win one fight, or merely have the enemy escape from her. But for the sake of plot and being a fighting show, the writing becomes contrived so she must fight and have a scene where she loses.

Contrast this with atla, where Aang's significant ability to airbend leaves him a capable and experienced fighter, but airbending is a pacifistic art that relies on pushing your opponent back. And in atla Aang isnt concerned with stopping some big bad immediately, all he really ever needs to do is live to fight another day. Aang primarily relies on his airbending for this reason, even when he has the other bending abilities he doesnt need to incapicate anyone by dropping rocks on their head or fireball anyone.

Korra never gets past this key writing problem. Around halfway of book 2 you will realize Korra never wins a fight that isnt relevant to the plot (season finales) or where shes heaped out of it by whatever bullshit of the season. Even after mastering all the elements, she still never activates the avatar state and wins fights. I also really hated the death of the avatar spirit in book 2, it felt like a huge fuck you and loss of the remembered cultures of the world since man conquered the elements. Korra just really sucks ass. She isnt the avatar, she has none of the spiritual connection and neither the ability or competence to protect it even after being trained as a child to do the job.

terrible show, the fights suck, 2/10

As long as youre putting in the effort, its all good, youre a comrade.

That is perhaps the biggest relief of bothering to learn about the reality of nuclear warfare, at first the stages of grief just spiraled nearly out of control for me. I really did not want to believe that such things were not only possible but also have been pretty close to happening at any given moment the 70 years where theyve been allowed to proliferate. Coming from "How would I and so many other people even attempt to survive this?" to "Why on Earth would I want to see the destruction of everything I know and love as planet Earth and survive?" was a real relief. If the nukes drop I'm finding a way to die in the initial blasts.

The problem is Liam and if I could, can I just take a second to just whine about how much Liam sucks? I dont feel like he adds anything to the podcasts he's in. He's shitty and boring, which unlike a lot of the people most people here would complain about tend to be bad and funny. Dude has the most boilerplate :liberalism: takes about politics and just likes to make Roz bleep out the venting that is too hyperbolic for someone like him to actually do.

I cant speak about Nate Bethea being bad, I only started listening to LLBD and wasnt really impressed by him as I was Liam.
