@dez499 @envienotivy Again, I think the use of bending in LOK is really creative and fun at times, but I do think it often overlooked or contradicted the philosophical foundations of ATLA.

@dez499 @envienotivy For sure, and I actually love the idea that with the city and the interaction between different benders, things would accelerate. But like lightning was not gatekept within the elite and still few people could do it. Like Zuko could never generate it, even after the dragons.

one of the reasons i’m not a big fan of korra, the series, is the push to modernize the world in a way that sucked out the asian cultural influences. why would you base the main city off new york and not a city in asia????

This graphic is haunting but it's the truth.  Wild animals now only make up 4% of the world's biomass of mammals. It's the domesticated and farmed animals that make up the majority. This is not how it should be 🌍 ❤️‍🩹

@dez499 @envienotivy Like it removes a lot of the philosophies behind the bending that ATLA was so incredible to include. That's why I say I like to imagine LOK is just its own world, bc then these changes feel like less of a loss in depth and substance.

@dez499 @envienotivy No, i think the idea of using it for energy is a great idea! But I do think that erases what ATLA had established, that it requires internal work and a focused balance that is difficult to master. That is the meaning lost in LOK imo.

@dez499 @envienotivy Removing the value and depth of lightning bending to turn it into a meaningless trick isn't sensible world development imo. I like parts of LOK and people can enjoy it but it does heavily retcon atla to the detriment of both stories.

@anthyantem @envienotivy Because things don’t remain the exact same after 70 years

@Rixter91 @Fushiguro268 There's no fixing azula, it'd be submit or nothing. She'd need a perfect trophy husband who doubles as a graceful diplomat imo

@Fushiguro268 Fix her or die trying. Worth the risk.

Would you want a girl like Azula to be your girlfriend?

This picture is grotesque for its callousness and disrespect to the bodies of these animals. Street dogs are not pests, they have a claim to the streets and land the same as anyone else does. This is a backward, disturbing, and dystopian mass slaughter.

@runskindeep10 I wish they'd go on one kshow that's like more game based than talk though. Like I would've loooved to see the girls on old school running man, playing name tag rip in a massive museum or mall

Huge Korean TV promo, AMA performance, Citi concert series… multiple award nominations… safe to see the girls are gonna be everywhere in the next couple of months but I still selfishly wish they did at least one TV spot in the US before flying to Korea… but oh well.

@yunaluna16 @envienotivy A lot of the references in it actually go over the heads of most my white friends. It's well done. Not perfect but a good effort. I literally learned about some aspects of hinduism while watching the show w my mom as a kid lol.

@yunaluna16 @envienotivy This is incredibly untrue lol. ATLA did draw a huge amount from various asian cultures, but it actually did its homework surprisingly well. It took from buddhist, hindu, and taoist philosophies and was well received among pretty much all the countries that practice those

Animal cruelty in agriculture is currently legal by default. Advocates must ban cruel practices one by one. It should be the opposite. Make cruelty illegal by default — then require the industry to publicly justify each standard factory farm practice. Few would survive.

@pricatttt Everyone involved in this needs to feel that karma while on earth.

@pricatttt Every one of those bodies was alive, had desires, had a right to survive and live in this world. They were individuals who felt joy and tiredness and boredom and satisfaction and fear and playfulness. They were senselessly killed and their bodies tossed in the trash.

What was the mistake of these dogs who were brutally killed & dumped like garbage in Ponduru village, Andhra Pradesh? 💔 Did they eat the tax money meant for ABC? Did they steal our money? They were just trying to survive in this unfair world which considers them worthless 💔💔💔

@pricatttt Absolutely disturbing and unjustifiably brutal. Ashamed af of this state and country.

🔴 Tests de toxicité : la souffrance extrême des animaux dans les laboratoires 📸 Les images inédites pour lesquelles nous avons eu l’exclusivité en France - et obtenues par notre partenaire @AnimalsAus - sont insoutenables. 🐒 🐶 🐇 🐁 Dans un laboratoire britannique travaillant pour des clients européens, des rats, lapins, chiens, porcs et primates sont immobilisés et torturés au nom de la science. Injections, inhalation forcée, gavage, exposition cutanée à des substances toxiques : ces animaux terrifiés subissent l'enfer jusqu'à ce que leur corps lâche ou qu'on les tue. L'objectif ? Déterminer à quelle concentration une substance provoque des dommages, une maladie ou la mort. Certains reçoivent des doses 100 fois supérieures à celles auxquelles les humains seraient exposés. ⛓️ Enfermés dans des cages, ces êtres sensibles endurent des souffrances extrêmes pour évaluer des médicaments, des pesticides, des produits chimiques industriels ou des additifs alimentaires. À l'issue des tests, ceux qui survivent sont euthanasiés. Les techniciens de laboratoire sont horrifiés, mais contraints de s'occuper de ces animaux tout en leur infligeant ces actes. Ils tirent la sonnette d'alarme face au dilemme moral insoutenable de leur métier. 🇪🇺 L’UE a interdit les tests sur animaux pour les cosmétiques et les détergents, mais ces tests de toxicité restent obligatoires pour la sécurité chimique. L’UE s'est engagée à opérer une transition progressive vers des méthodes alternatives, mais sans modifications législatives concrètes, financement adéquat et calendrier contraignant, cette promesse restera lettre morte. 👉 Cliquer sur ce lien: un courriel sera envoyé au commissaire européen O. Várhelyi à pour exiger l'accélération de cette transition. ➡️ toxicity.inc

@KC_2001_ @jogo_bonito00 @CantEverDie loool okay sure, i think scots and pakistanis can both be proud of chicken tikka masala. it's obviously predominantly south asian culinary, but i can appreciate trivia

@anthyantem @jogo_bonito00 @CantEverDie So you’re telling me it was made in Scotland…

just watched a redneck eating chicken tikka masala for the first time describe it as “if a country italian person prepared it in a chinese kinda way”

yes.
