How very debarkable.

About the best I've heard is "well at least it's better than the Shyamalan debacle". I don't hate it, but I'm getting pretty tired of remakes that don't need to exist. Still, it doesn't stop me watching the original, and if people like it then cool, and even more so if they like it enough to go back and give the original a shot.

15 years ago? It's just the 15th item OP favourited, their account is only three or so years old.

I would separate 3 into casual players who are using it as a mechanism for hanging out with friends, and hardcore/tournament players, the "well technically the rules say" type. Honourable mention to grognards, too.

Pretty much gone after being humbled by Suki on Kyoshi Island, yeah. Seems to briefly return when he sees her again, but turns out that was more of a trauma response. I thought having him start that way so he could improve was good, but if they can have development in other ways, I'm fine with him starting without that particular flaw.

People should also be commended on admitting they were wrong and changing an opinion or belief. Too often people make this admission, and all they get is "finally" or "do you want a medal for doing the right thing" or whatever. All that does is punish people for making positive changes in themselves, and create a negative association with doing so. They're more likely to hold onto other shitty opinions if they feel they'll get belittled either way.

Having read the whole series a couple of times, I really don't get this. Maybe in the first few books? But he very quickly comes up against equally (or more) competent foes, and has to face plenty of battles that he can't win by swinging a sword.

Judging by the comment you replied to, it's actually an IAP.

There's an Indian restaurant in Brisbane, Australia called "Get It India", which I love because the pun only works in a drawled Australian accent. Get It Into (pronounced intuh/induh) Ya (pronounced yuh).

Must be much cheaper there than it is here in Australia, beef and lamb are multiple times the cost of chicken or pork. Though if it's daily, that's a pretty significant change to expect people to divide their intake by 7 and cut down to once a week. Obviously it would have a big impact if you could get people to do it, but I imagine most would balk at such a large change in one area. Lots of small changes in multiple areas is probably more achievable for a similar result.

I wonder how eating beef once a week instead of three times a week compared to, say, running your heating and aircon by a few degrees closer to room temp, or not using it once or twice a week.

You can't really draw that conclusion just from that graph, it only shows food. Which is high, but not the biggest sector by a long shot:

Not all unions are the same. Sorry you had a bad experience with a shit one. Also, 'nowadays'.

Thank you, good to know. I never blow dry either, and occasionally put some leave-in on it when I remember, so I guess I'm on the right track. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Your hair is lovely! As a dude with a similar hair type and about 2/3 that length, and very little instilled knowledge about caring for long hair (see: dude), can I ask what you do to take care of it beyond using a good quality shampoo and conditioner?

Too many of the marriages I see around me seem like they're just business transactions, which is so depressing. People don't even say I love you on the phone. You guys love each other, and you're communicating in healthy ways, and that's all that really matters

The shelves themselves could be done with enough of any one of those things (the collection, maybe not so much)

I like to think people are trying to get their own little mediaeval villages off the ground with all the Masons and Coopers and Fletchers running around.

Obviously an unpopular opinion, but it's so odd to me that Carson is completely reasonable but Karsyn has people wanting to kill themselves. All names are random jumbles of letters and sounds, you've just seen or heard some of them enough to be desensitised to them being weird.
