My main issue with the predator movie was that basically any 'warlike sci-fi race" character could have been the lead. This movie would have played the exact same if the main character had been a klingon. The new weapons are decidedly too showy for a race of stealth predators, and I wonder how long they spent making the bow before realizing it was a completely worthless addition.

Basic telekenisis. I want to be able to move object(s) with my mind. This can include me, also giving me a base level of flight.

It would just be so convenient. Nothing is ever out of reach again.

Isekai Isakaya - short miniseries about a western style restaurant that has its front door connected to a singular spot in another world. It also has little real life cooking lessons at the end of each episode.

Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater - it’s one of the awwducational animes that I feel like the Japanese government pays for to introduce younger generations to traditional/outdoorsy activities. This one is about fishing.

Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost - it’s just a moe so sugary sweet it hurts.

Kuma Kuma Kuma bear! - it’s a fluffy isekai that doesn’t have any real stakes or anything too severe happening. I’m working through the light novel since I heard it finished… And honestly it’s all so pleasant.

Ya boy Kongming - silly musical anime that just drops some three kingdoms lore into the modern day. I don’t recommend dubbed as they didn’t localize the rap battle towards the end… And also didn’t subtitle it.

Oh thought she had already done that. Well, broken clock rights this one.

I would have to post something that people interact with… I’m not that kind of person. I usually get none to one reply to stuff I post, I think the highest mine has ever gone is three. I also couldn’t keep up with it.

No no, you see, the parts of Russia that weren’t parts of Russia 5 years ago is not invasion, it’s defense!

It’s usually a mixed bag. I tend to play with the same group semi monthly that understands none of us are trying to go win a tournament, and when I can’t play with them I bring out the group hug/slug decks and just watch the combo folks do their thing.

Oh. I should really read articles from time to time. I have seen this through headlines and always assumed it was about the country of Georgia, not the state in the USA.

I do it when I leave. It’s interesting for me to do it on discord servers and notice how the conversation still flows smoothly like i was never a part of it in the first place.

If only I could replay Journey as a new experience again. There were so many revelations at the end for someone who went in knowing nothing about it that really made it a powerful experience.

I’m in agreement. Pre-skeezed vibes are definitely there… But the reasons for them might be something really stupid. Give it a shot, leave it the skeeze persists.

Step right up! Step right up! Grab a pitchfork and stab a Nazi!

Same and same.

Last time I tried? Last year before new computer.

Next time l try? I dunno. It will happen again, not sure when.

Don’t need the whole body, just turn all my joints/cartilage/soft tissue back to 18 and I’ll just keep it moving (literally)

• Those three guys at the bar that got OP to move multiple times because they could while OP was alone as their partner had wandered off somewhere.
• The neighbors that seem to delight in living near OPs car, which OP simply cannot fix in any meaningful way. Parking slightly further away is somehow just off the table.
• The same neighbors who have young kids who seem to live… above? OP and due to their inconsiderate ways OP can’t get any rest.
• The “hiring manager” who asked for personal details, added them on facebook, rushed them to complete some kind of job application, and then ghosted them for absolutely no reason.

As those defending them… I guess people on social platforms like this one have not been unanimously against these vile beings they find themselves surrounded by.

Am I an asshole?

It’s a more common question than you’d think.

That makes a lot more sense. According to the original post in which I was responding:

“I’m talking about like, service workers and store employees who are miserable and take their anger out on completely innocent people.”

It was from that framework that I made my post. In those settings as an customer/bystander (which would be completely innocent people) it would be very strange to get bullying comments from many of them. Most wouldn’t/don’t care enough about people they literally don’t need to interact with to even bother putting the effort in to bully.

Office work/hierarchy bullying are super common and happen in almost any workplace I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t aware that was the topic. As for how to avoid being bullied in those types of situations… it’s a lot of work. Some of the common ways people handle it are to ignore, confront, joke, or play dumb. I personally mix it up.

But the single best way to deal with bullying is/has/will always be: group up. Bullies generally ‘punch down’, going for people who appear in some way weaker than they are. It falls apart very quickly when there are others around who are willing and able to support you.

It’s more of a bell curve situation. The goal is to look as unoffensive as possible. Anything that can set off the ‘life is unfair’ alarm in people who are already unhappy increases the chances of comments. That includes, looking nice, wearing expensive (or perceived expensive) anything, most well doe makeup usage, nonstandard nailwork (anything more than a simple color).

While this isn’t true for everyone, it is definitely true for those who are willing to toss out comments in the first place…

And I wonder more than that how often you are getting comments. Unless you’re on either extreme end of the bell curve, or in some other way sticking out way more than you should, it’s strange to me that anyone would deal with being bullied.
