@Suzierizzo1 And they should have to pay back taxes, hit them with a full-on audit going back to their inception

@marioliveirain Well, the one in 1877 killed 50M people, out of a total ~1.3B (~3.8% of the world population died). Primarily from ensuing food shortages Just scaling that based on our current population (~8.3B) we can expect ~319M deaths

@SandboxVet04 @hbailey311 @FuukTwitar Still running to your little AI? Can't do your own independent research anymore, you have to rely on something with zero thought process to do it for you? And we're the dumb ones?

@PunishedJuanoku @Sammasukneraka @e_fosa08 He saw Zuko do it, knows Zuko is with the Avatar, he shouldn't have been surprised Aang knows it too, unless he was just that egotistical about the whole thing

@PunishedJuanoku @Sammasukneraka @e_fosa08 That just leans more into his superiority complex tbh, he's already seen Zuko do it by then and you'd think he'd try to learn it too (and maybe he did, but never figured it out) unless he thought it wasn't necessary because he could just overpower anyway

One thing people forget is that Ozai did not spare Zuko at all. The moment Zuko openly defied him during the eclipse, Ozai immediately tried to kill him with lightning. Zuko only survived because he had already learned lightning redirection from Iroh and sent it away before leaving. That scene wasn’t Ozai showing mercy, it was the first time Zuko stood in front of his father without fear and actually had the power to defend himself.

One thing I still think about is why Ozai spared Zuko here after what he saw as open defiance. Why burn and banish him instead of killing him?

@Desgg94 @SuccyBankz Possibly. But the same problem happened with Zack Snyder's Justice League. Superman had to be sidelined because he makes the conflict trivial, and once he does get involved, the conflict is indeed trivial. Without sidelining the Hulk in some way, he makes many things trivial too

@Lestan21 @SuccyBankz I believe that showed more of the Russo's limitations and lack of creative vision when it came to the Hulk more than anything else. They saw the Hulk as a problem to their story and just simply removed him from both movies. That was very lazy writing on their part.

This fight scene is just so fun to watch 😅 When Iron-Man used Hulkbuster against Hulk. Do you think this Hulk would have stood a chance against Thanos?

@BENZOTOOIE Well, if you've seen Avatar the Last Airbender, you'd understand why people bring up kid's cartoons. It was a really perfect way to end the series, had the emotional beats, it tied up the story neatly, and had all the spectacle you'd want.

@RealSchmebulog @pktrpl @SRamirez68083 Yeah, I wasn't going to bother including inflation in my back of the napkin math😂 You're right though, including that makes the very minimal devaluation even more minimal (not even worth talking about it's so minimal)

@Lestan21 @pktrpl @SRamirez68083 You also forgot inflation. Over a 50 year period, the dollar will be worth 25% of it's original value at 2.8% inflation a year. So a trillion over your entire lifetime versus the government using trillions a year...

@ManaByte This was actively an issue with the development of Anthem, they were all specifically banned from talking about Destiny, the largest game in the genre they were trying to make a game in at the time How do you make a game and not discuss the biggest game of the genre at the time?

@RealSchmebulog @pktrpl @SRamirez68083 (I started this with genuine skepticism and ended up realizing that this, over 50 years, is basically just how much the US government already spends in way less time, so it'll have minimal effect on the valuation of the dollar)

@RealSchmebulog @pktrpl @SRamirez68083 $1B isn't, but if you manage to stay under that bank balance cap for 20 years? That's 175,200 hours which gets you $1.752T You can fund a military with that, but still not going to devalue much. What about 50 years? A 20yo could do this for 50 years, $4.38T Still not enough

@H_B_Eagb @IwishIwasGregg @puppycelebrity They all do have these kinds of lines; I never tried that specific word in 4 though. I don't want swears on my license plates, but I still put them in just to hear what they came up with to berate us😂

@IwishIwasGregg @puppycelebrity The voice lines for this stuff in Horizon 3 were the best, just having an Aussie guy like "I get it, I'm Australian, mate, but no"
