Oh god this is nightmare fuel

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.

I think about being a bird and flying through the sky and feel like crying but it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I want to fly without a big construct around me or loud motors.

I’ve driven through quite a few cities around southern Ohio, and around but not through Columbus

it’s just not too popular where I tend to travel.

YET

I’ve been carrying my own mesh device and in the 5 months I’ve had it hanging from my bag that goes everywhere… 3 devices seen lol

Pretty sure one was in someone else’s car on the highway since I’ve never found it again.

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

$5 on what kind of political opinions are allowed…

I’ve always loved seeing origami with a lot of small folds like scales. Fuck folding them though my hands are cramping up just thinking about it 😂

“I like waffles” - person 1

“so you hate pancakes?” - you

I would absolutely order a house kit from catalog that contains everything I need to build the house. Sears and Roebuck style.

Bonus points if it contains tools I can use to mill my own lumber. I’ve always wanted a plot of land where I can plant trees for harvesting wood to make small houses here and there.

I honestly wonder if they actually think they’re fooling anyone. It’s so blatantly obvious none of these “assassins” is even trying. Especially the Ear Incident that lasted all of 3 days. That one was so easy I could have made that shot with iron sights. In the dark.

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

Crazy that nondescript general violence is happening with nobody in particular at fault.

it sure does seem like someone should step in and politely ask the violence to stop. Perhaps a strongly worded letter? Or more intense monitoring at least!

I made it through tomb of the giants without much issue.

Fuck new Londo though. And that one specific archer into anor Londo. You know which one I mean.

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.

I recently left a job where my coworker was the absolute dumbest motherfucker I have ever met, but at least he was willing to listen to people with differing opinions. I think I managed to pull him a little left, at the very least he started out going “the people in charge generally know what is best for us even if they sometimes dip into things themselves” and ended with “fuck ice, they’re fascists acting exactly like the nazis did and the shitbags in charge are enabling them at every turn, the whole system needs reset” which is a pretty big leap, IMO.

One thing I couldn’t budge him on was the moon landing. It doesn’t matter that I have assisted in a laser range-finding experiment using the retro reflectors left on the moon, thus confirming to myself that we HAVE been there.

It didn’t matter how much I explained the Apollo missions, how much I explained why things behave in space the way they do, how much I explained why NASA essentially hd to rebuild a moon mission from the ground up, or any number of things. He still firmly believed it was all bullshit and we never went there.

I would always end the conversation about space stuff with “the biggest reason to me is that the USSR never came out and said ‘this is fake, here’s proof they faked the landing’ and basically gave up not long afterward, and they clearly had spies and intelligence capable of infiltrating NASA systems and obtaining classified information, just look at the Russian space shuttle. If they knew we faked it, they would have every reason in the world to embarss us by revealing our lies to the world” and he would always agree on that point. Still fake to him though

My 150lb pyr/collie will walk up to people, push his head into their side, and wait for pets.

If you’re sitting down, he puts his head in your lap. If you don’t begin scratches promptly, he will slap you with a 4in wide paw. It doesn’t hurt, but he has NO problem slapping everything in your lap off of it, unless it’s food. He doesn’t quite BEG, but he will occasionally sideways glance at you and make you feel judged.
