Yeah, I mean we’re like lobsters being slow boiled.
This whole situation is mad, but it feels plausible because it’s been ratcheted up so gradually.
Can you imagine the country’s reaction if they say this 2 decades ago?

No, plenty of nonpartisan and even liberal people were yelling this too. I had no illusions of Biden’s age.
America is not just two internet echo chambers… even if it feels like it right now.
Cross compatible social media?
We really are in the future.
thanks to the whole reincarnation thing it’d presumably be difficult for the avatar to suddenly become evil since every previous avatar would screech at them and for all we know they could just force the avatar state to send the body to its death and exiting the avatar state just before death.
There’s an ATLA comic that kind of refutes this, where Aang just straight up shuts out Roku. It’s… not the best comic.
Anyway, I think the idea is that the Avatar is fundamentally the same soul reincarnating, the same empathetic petty thief that stood up for anyone that was oppressed. That’s just part of their nature, sometimes to a fault. Even Avatars with a screwed up childhood like Kyoshi and Korra turn out that way.
The mitigation is often the plot, where their power isn’t particularly useful to solve their problems. A poignant example is when Korra just turns herself into Zaheer to save the Air Nomads, fully expecting to die (though the gravity is not very explicit since it’s a kids show, as is true across both TV shows).
, and ONE person is effectively just a god,
Another thing I find amusing is that “common” people just treat the Avatar as some random joe, with lines like “Avatar, huh? We still have one of those?” or Bolin’s grandma who clearly holds more reverence for the Earth Queen than the Avatar.
As far as fantasy series go, I think it does a good job of making all the Beautiful Special People feel mundane.
Heh, Korra is literally this, but being royal was a total coincidence. And I guess you could say she “reset” the reincarnation bloodline.
And I guess she subverts it a little too because she finds out so young, and is not shy about it.
And Ozai played with this too, deliberately marrying the descendent (Ursa) of a super special Poo Person (Avatar Roku) in hopes of producing superior children. And it kind of worked.
But what runs our first? The defender’s mana, or how many drones the attacker can afford with fast shipping?
The wizard casts “drone with c4”
I dunno, I’ve talked to some sane, mostly disconnected people IRL who didn’t like it either.
But on the other hand, I’ve seen the other side of that coin, where a fandom decides to trash something good, so I suppose I can see that.
A lot of people suck in the real world.
Agreed, this just looks like a miss.
Who knows why, but it doesn’t seem like for-profit Game of Thrones.
Has there been any news of a GOTG sequel from embracer? Last I heard, they got the license.
Honestly, it was better than the movies, and it would be a shame to drop.
There is no Sequel Trilogy in Ba Sing Se.
Here we are safe. Here we are free.
I was told not to watch the last season of GoT, and never did.
No regrets so far.
Paralives
That would have been a marketing nightmare lol
That’s just it though, sales are good, it’s still getting hype, people are playing it. It doesnt’ feel like Cyberpunk gets the same hype and forgiveness as starfield.
I know people have complained about this for every BGS release since Oblivion (and I loved Oblivion), but it really seems egregious this time. Not because its broken but because it’s so… blah.
I find it sad that CP2077 isn’t “good enough” to get a long chain of DLC while Starfield is.
I guess this is true of many games, but still…
It would be dope if this really happened, and they hashed stuff out.
No one would vote for them if we did.
For me its the opposite, Linux always boots fine but occasionally a linux system update will break the Windows boot option in systemd-boot
Yeah, I feel like people are freaking out and ignoring that Biden (and Trump) are largely the people they surround themselves with, and the policies they push.
They’ve both been president for years.
