@eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt They sacrificed very little, they put their time, effort and lives on the line for the mission but all they lost was time traveling in between destinations

@flaretopp @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Ignoring the fact that they both sacrificed a great deal and them surviving does not change that, whether or not they sacrificed enough in your opinion doesn’t change the fact that there WERE stakes.

"no stakes" and the sun is literally dying

@eodorelasso @Strangeazulmoon @MooseDavid99 @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Him being a teacher is the only thing that's similar...on Live on Erid, be with your best friend , get your own private beach within a society that loves you and treats you with enormous amounts of respect Or Go back to earth to freeze and watch mass casualties occur

@flaretopp @Strangeazulmoon @MooseDavid99 @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt His life on Erid is mostly the same as his life on earth… he’s a teacher. On Erid he gets to live with his best friend but he also lives in a dome, can never see the Earth/sky/humans/etc. again, lives in twice the gravity which takes a toll, and much more. He sacrificed a lot.

@jessednelson @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt I hate to burst your bubble but you just used condescension, also the three act structure allows for resolutions that aren't pleasant or desirable

@flaretopp @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Hahaha. Condescension is the tool of the weak minded. Maybe learn what basic three act structure is before weighing in on how little you know.

@jessednelson @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt It's ok buddy stick with your cocomelon

@flaretopp @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Lol, okay lil bro.

@TippingOddsLV @TMT_arabic I guess Iran is not as good as Israel when it comes to recklessly killing civilians

@TMT_arabic what a tremendous victory. broke a window. no injuries.

WATCH: Direct footage of an Iranian missile landing near a hair salon in Tel Aviv with settlers inside. Watch how it happened.

@jessednelson @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Unless you're only watching movies for babies, that's unequivocally untrue

@flaretopp @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt It’s a movie, virtually every single one “works out” for the protagonist. Stakes are for the character, not the audience. If you think you walk into any movie assuming the main character will ultimately fail you are lying.

@Strangeazulmoon @MooseDavid99 @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Yeah it is a nice alternative to all the grim alien movies

@flaretopp @MooseDavid99 @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt i guess. I like the book personally because there arent a lot of books the portray aliens so well. either they kill everyone or do nothing

@Strangeazulmoon @MooseDavid99 @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt It's not better for him but it makes his sacrifice more powerful, also it's not completely alien, he spends years with rocky learning his language, culture and history and going back to a freezing earth where a billion people have died and he's been presumed dead isn't great

@flaretopp @MooseDavid99 @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt i dont think nearly starving to death is "better" plus its still a completely alien environment. In fact, there wouldnt even be light outside of his apartment.

@Strangeazulmoon @MooseDavid99 @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt He didn't really have a life on earth but he does on Eridan. It doesn't feel like a sacrifice if he just ends up better than where he started

@flaretopp @MooseDavid99 @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt he sacrificed his life on earth

@MooseDavid99 @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Yeah I enjoyed the drama during the movie but it's still disappointing

@flaretopp @eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt But during the movie you didn’t know. That’s the point.

@eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Every thing they did worked out in the end, they sacrificed almost nothing

@flaretopp @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Cool. What’s your point?

@denimneverdies If it was a meta commentary on Neoliberalism it would actually be semi decent but it's not so we're left with a "hero" who owns a slave

Even ignoring the artist's politics, the "art" is still Harry Potter

@cornerrihaunt I don't agree with the review at all but I partially agree with the stakes comment. There are stakes presented but all of them resolve immediately with almost no consequences at all

@eodorelasso @fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt And the mission succeeded, Grace survived and rocky slept for a few days and woke up completely healed with no complications

@fauxfilosopher @cornerrihaunt Not when Ryland literally passes out from the g-forces pinning him against the console dropping his hand and being unable to stop it to the point that Rocky had to enter his atmosphere to save him potentially sacrificing himself unsure if his body would heal or not?

@AFpost The 7k check cleared

Gavin Newsom clarifies he is a “proud Zionist” who “reveres Israel.” He said he “regrets” calling Israel an “apartheid state”, only meaning to describe Netanyahu’s leadership. Follow: @AFpost

@XperienceHumans Have they tried surrendering?

Tel Aviv after an Iranian missile strike.

@BRICSinfo Ah they're going back to their nazi roots

JUST IN: 🇩🇪🇮🇱 Volkswagen in talks with the Israeli government to shift one of its factories from cars to missile defense production.

@CanCritic @CP24 Unlike Hamas, Israel does have soldiers in Canada

@CP24 It didn’t have to get to this if they had their job and be more firm with these Hamas thugs and street blocking fake praying men.

@Randistotle @allie__voss So you're scared of being accused of sexual harassment? Have you tried not being a creep?

@allie__voss This is born of the “you can’t even approach a girl at church problem”. This isn’t about being scared, or at least not of rejection. This is about “me too”, false accusations, and everything being declared off limits for that sort of thing to the point where they want a new systm

@laeswrld I saw an "entry level" job paying 45k requiring 3 years of specific experience and education...the level of seniority of most applicants was senior level with some even going all the way up to cxo level 😭

of course they had to get rid of entry-level jobs when it’s my turn adulting
