@EMurotake @kevinbolk Although ironically enough we get more than one pilot who joined the Gundam Fight *because* their life was destroyed as a civilian and this is their only option now.
English
@Hypercubed2 @kevinbolk Right. Gundam usually shows that piloting a giant robot as a soldier is going to mess with your head. G has pilots who are markedly less traumatized by the piloting, but instead focuses on how fucked up it would be to be a person in the middle of those fights
English
My friends were all heavily divided on this one when it came out. Those of us that loved the Super Robot genre ate it up. Folks who thought Gundam was above that turned their nose up at it.
Years later, I think we all came together on how cool and fun it was, even if it was a departure from the norm.

32 years ago today, ‘Mobile Fighter G Gundam’ began airing on TV Asahi.
English
@EMurotake @kevinbolk Yeah, that's a point. Shows like 0079 do a great job showing the psychological effects of those forced to fight in wars, like Amuro. But G Gundam is unparalleled in the franchise for showing the effects on civilians.
English
@Hypercubed2 @kevinbolk I've always put it as that G does better showing how conflict hurts the ones OUTSIDE the war. Other series focus on how war FUCKS UP the soldiers in it, while G focuses more on how the fighting tears apart the lives of people who have NOTHING to do with it.

@CisSiberian @Gabriel1847835 The OT implies that anyone organic can potentially use the force if taught, because it's harnessing the life energy produced by and surrounding/penetrating their own being. Bloodlines can be "strong in the force", but nothing about the movies implies that means "capable at all".
English
@Gabriel1847835 The OT, the PT, and the EU all make it clear that force sensitive individuals are rare and there is a hereditary component to it. The idea that "anyone can use the force" is an invention of the Disney era that goes against 30 years of established Star Wars lore.
English
Star Wars fans REALLY need to stop thinking that the Force is "magic".
Marauder Matt@marauder_matt
I think the rejection of Sabine becoming force sensitive and this mocking idea that “anyone can use the force” is completely antithetical to what the force represents and the real world magic/mysticism that inspired it. Why would we ever look at the Force as something exclusive?

@DaveJonT @christoaivalis There's also occasionally outdoor temperature/weather reports in C and indoor temperature/thermostats in F, for the same reason as pool temperature.
English
@Darkelfcraftman @RicharD1ckJohn If the average human citizen of the 40K Imperium has it "pretty swell in general" then they've failed to deliver on their own tagline/elevator pitch for the faction.
English
@Hypercubed2 @RicharD1ckJohn Point is these are just in universe conspiracy theories. Things can be very bad but human citizens have it pretty swell in general (all things considered). The median citizen lives a boring life of some toil and then dies.

The fuck you mean the God Emperor of Mankind is the Centrist option?

@BestEVlution Building a pokemon's lore around a specific gimmick and then not giving it the stats to actually pull that off was a weird choice.
English
obviously canonically tinkaton is supposed to 'hunt' corviknight, but the fact in-game it's so hilariously useless against it makes it really funny
like yeah whoop his ass 252 Atk Tinkaton Gigaton Hammer vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Corviknight: 63-75 (15.7 - 18.7%) -- possible 6HKO☠️

@cjthex I believe the poppies are a Commonwealth thing. In the US November 11 marks the veterans who made it home, while In Flanders Fields is about the dead. The American equivalent of that one is in May.

@LukeMontalbano Poilievre is an anchor around your party's neck and the sooner you guys cut him loose the better for Canada as a whole, but considering how his leadership review went I'm not sure that's happening anytime soon.
English
Are you kidding me? Canada’s infrastructure is desperately in need of renewal and high speed rail along the Windsor-Québec City corridor is a no brainer. Us Tories have historically been the party of a national vision! This is provincial thinking. We need to get our fiscal house in order; we can do that while also investing in our country.

@CFC_GafferV2 A lot of the NDP sweep of Quebec in 2011 was a protest vote by angry Quebecois wanting to punish their two major parties by voting for this nice grandpa running the *other* left wing social democrat party.
English
@CFC_GafferV2 We should be so lucky, but the NDP has only attained official opposition status once in its history, and that required a perfect storm of Quebec being furious at the Liberals *and* the Bloc while also having a fondness for the NDP leader at the time (Jack Layton).
English
Yeah NDP official opposition in less than an years time. I'm calling it
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Pierre Poilievre on the Toronto–Quebec City High-Speed Rail Network: "Conservatives oppose the $90b Liberal-Alto train ... a future Conservative government will cancel this $90b boondoggle altogether."

@Daniel963465546 @Spaceykey181663 @RicharD1ckJohn Like I said, it made more sense when the pre 40K lore was shrouded in myth. We spent decades not knowing almost any of the details of the Horus Heresy.
English
@Hypercubed2 @Spaceykey181663 @RicharD1ckJohn And in the end, it's still his fault. If he didn't see that betrayal coming from miles away, he was an imbecile. "Who would have thought that completely neglecting my children and treating them like tools would eventually be a problem?"
English
@Peko_girlboss A lot of people can't process the idea of chest sizes between "flat" and "huge". Android 18 from Dragonball Z gets that problem a lot, for example (she has a medium-sized chest and is always drawn either flat or stacked in fanart).
English
I used to virtue signal so bad dude “why do people always draw Cynthia with a huge chest, she’s flat as a board”
WHAT WAS I ON ABOUT
Archie@no1gladionfan
i will not tolerate cynthia hate because my favorite thing about her is that one of the most powerful pokemon trainers of all time is this sweet and studious woman who loves to learn. she’s just kind of a nerd. i love you nerd lady

@theserfstv If anything full-throated and consistent opposition to genocide makes me a hell of a lot more likely to vote NDP next election. Has he expressed a stance on Russia and Ukraine?
English
I expected Avi Lewis to get a certain degree of predictable racism from the right but nothing compares to the attacks he's getting from zionists
dahlia kurtz ✡︎ דליה קורץ@DahliaKurtz
The new leader of Canada’s leftist party is self-proclaimed anti-Zionist Jew Avi Lewis. Avi would’ve snitched on Anne Frank’s family.

@wyrmdt @RicharD1ckJohn The Emperor did spend tens of thousands of years basically just chilling before he eventually decided he needed to personally conquer the entire planet and rule it as its forever-tyrant.
English
@Hypercubed2 @RicharD1ckJohn Yeah, I would much rather live in the candy kingdom lol, but if we ""normalize the worlds"", in many cases the emperor wont even try getting into power
In 40k BGP turns into fabius bile probably lol
English
@politics_w_sami On top of that, half of Canada's population lives within one rail corridor between Windsor and Quebec City.
English
I lived in France for six years as a child, where high-speed trains are a common way to travel.
Riding them was a great experience! They made it easy to move quickly between major cities without the stress of traffic or the discomfort of long car rides.
One reason many Canadians don’t use trains today is that they aren’t fast enough, introducing high-speed rail could help address that issue.
