@MmisterNobody @Grok Give me the rundown. Evaluate if this post is engagement bait, or truly putting us onto something that should be shared for widespread situational awareness. Keep your response concise, cite facts and key components. Tl;dr first, then who should be most concerned.

@SeryPuff @naMnaSYt That's what I was thinking! If we ever crosswords again, please feel free to highlight to me the fact we aren't actually opposed and are just talking from different perspectives.

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt The spirit of the rhetoric is being lost. The big picture is that what you and I have said are both true, but misaligned. Lightning bending is hard; the point is how advancing methodologies close gaps. Exceptions(Korra/Aang), and the overall story, are tied to world's themes.

@SeryPuff @naMnaSYt Your points have consistently circled back to talking about society advancing and writer intent, not the precedent set nor the lack of follow up on how they could lower said precedent to a realistic level. You have very much been seeking to refute, but you haven't done it.

bending evolving is cool but this is a form that makes no sense to become so common lightningbending requires separating positive and negative energy, and at the moment they crash back together you guide it Iroh himself said only a select few could this

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt The original point was refuted. Each of your follow-ups circle back to that point But my point is to help you see that the vision and spirit of the series is what the focus should be on, and how things came to be. Not how "everyone can lightning bend now". It's all connected.

@SeryPuff @naMnaSYt None of this refutes the point I'm making. You're making a entirely separate argument based on a Macro review of world and the writers intent. I assume the conversation is over.

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt I. LOK was about her struggle with restraint. Her not learning lightning bending was likely an absolute for the series' vision. II. Avatar is a developing world, meant to impart wisdom on its audience through story-telling III. Much is purposely unsaid, left for us to discern.

@SeryPuff @naMnaSYt But Korra doesn't do it either, you omission of her here implies she would have. It's also not "for the sake of it" it's an objectively powerful form of bending that would have helped immensely with what they were dealing with in the late game of the story, trivialized it even.

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt The point of the Avatar, during ATLA, wasn't about Aang learning advanced techniques. Not for the sake of it. When he did, it was because there was a point to it -- Seismic sensing, with Toph, being the example of proper Earth-bending. The series consistently stayed on topic.

@SeryPuff @naMnaSYt The idea of the amount of people who can do it being limited goes further when you look at ATLA because that's a rational narrative choice that fits with the template they gave because we don't even see Aang learn it.

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt They are one-and-the-same. Advances methods to master advanced techniques become commonplace as structured educational wisdom progresses. In the real medical world, we learn theory first-- then learn current methods after. Functionally adaptive curriculums should capture that.

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt They are different things and require different lenses to compare. Being the president isn't only about self-mastery. Its rarity is 100% part of that point, since we're comparing the increased demographic of lightning benders. Let's stay on topic.

@SeryPuff @naMnaSYt The point wasn't that everyone can be president at the same time and to imply such is a brazen showing that you're intentionally misunderstanding the point.

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt Lightning bend en masse was the result of a societal level shift in guidance. This led to a greater mass collective of people with self-mastery-- enough to have advanced techniques of the old ages become well-understood. This is an echo of how a real civilization progresses.

@shadowofatanuki @naMnaSYt President of the USA is actually the worse example. Only one person can be, at a time. The contrast of Aang's aftermath and Korra's aftermath is a civilizational lesson on restraint and discipline. The world had guidance after Aang (Industrial era). Korra led the apocalypse.

@aas_ker Godly wisdom. And from wisdom are all effective methods rooted in truth, not used for wicked means. Exercise, like running, focuses the mind and releases endorphins that change your neurochemical output. Decline is cancelled out by ascension.

@SymplyTonbra Gotta take Iroh and Azula off the board. Let them plan and it's a loss. Aang is likely the stronger Avatar for defense, thanks to seismic sensing. Appa also helps. With two dollars left, Ty Lee would likely be the next best choice. Agile disabler to remove non-masters.

@naMnaSYt This scene is meant to speak to us. We all inherit the sins and the cultural curses of our ancestry. And we are all meant to do better. Avatar's core is about discipline and restraint of our nature; to learn of the power we possess and to master it.

one of the best twists in fiction it is interesting how Iroh completely disregards Azula. They, obviously, share heritage, but it just kinda hammers home how everyone just kinda gave up on Azula but this also hammers home Zuko's importance

@BioLayne Filtration is the more important principle to focus on. A quick testing process to screen out impure products isn't a bad idea.

Hi. Basic high school chemistry is entering the chat… Just because a compound is synthesized from other compounds doesn’t mean it now contains those compounds. Synthesized creatine & creatine in meat are exactly the same chemical structure. Anyone who has had basic high school chemistry should understand this concept Also, the bioavailability of creatine in steak is reduced when cooked. Raw you’d need 2-3 lbs and cooked you’d need 4-6 lbs of it Sometimes it’s ok to not comment on things you don’t understand 🙂

Very unpopular truth: Creatine monohydrate is manufactured by combining cyanamide (a fertilizer and pesticide feedstock) with sarcosine (a synthetic surfactant used in cosmetics) in a high-pressure reactor at 80°C. The FDA approved it as a dietary supplement because it exists naturally in red meat. The creatine in your scoop has never seen a cow. 10oz of ribeye, three times a week, gives you every performance benefit of creatine monohydrate with zero cyanamide, zero sarcosine, and the B12, iron, zinc, and saturated fat your testosterone actually needs to exist.

@guideforman @healthnutritipz Bragging is the first step to defeat. In a real scenario, her wounded pride led to her revealing how she maneuvers. Any one of the elite in that room would have strategists and secretaries to execute a counter-tactic while they kept "sun-burning on the beach."
