Does discrimination exist in Idaho?

White guy: No

Native woman: Actually, yes.

White guy: loud, angry discrimination

This guy has to be exhausted for constantly coming up with the worst fucking takes, lying to boost his own ego and generally being a giant dumbass. I'm exhausted for him.

Pffft. Who can't see that that's ai generated? Also how weird is it to see Trump in anything but suit or silly golf clothes? Jeans and a button up is entirely to normal for the orange man to wear.

Every accusation is admission

It's kind of hard to have an incredibly varied and versatile powerset in a video game, simply becuase you have a limited set of inputs. So you would normally have a small set of powers that each serve a purpose. But then doing that and still representing 4 elements means each only gets very limited options.

Thinking about it, I can see two ways to make bending feel powerful, versatile and give a good representation to all elements. 1) maybe the best solution would be to have customizable load outs with various bending powers, and let you switch between those load outs on the fly so you can coordinate a few power sets that work well together but swap them when other sets are more useful to the situation. 2) An interesting idea would be to use situational awareness to execute moves without specific user inputs differentiating the exact power used. For example, you could have a single boost button that uses a different element depending on if the player is on land, water, in the air or dodging (fire rocket!). And you could have a close/melee attack and ranged attack for each element that you can specify, but the exact effect/attack it creates can vary depending on the environment and enemy type of the target. Let it feel a little bit like the character is making decisions, not just you, like Batman in combat in the Arkham games. And of course, there would be a charge up to a special attack that uses the Avatar state and all 4 elements at once.

I think the faces should be reversed. If you don't know, spook 'em's. If you do know, no spook 'em's.

At that level of co2 production, they were probably right about the timetable. What they couldn't predict is that co2 production would rise so dramatically with automobiles and industry in the decades after that. They were at 7 billion tons a year then. We are over 36 billion tons a year now, over 5 times as much. That has clearly expedited the effects on the climate.

Right, it is only in juxtaposition of the Trump Vance ticket that theirs seems so... idk, righteous? Wholesome? But were this 20 years ago, they'd be pretty normal. It's only with the looming threat of another Trump presidency on the backdrop of what he and the GOP have wrought on modern politics that what should just be normal is so hopeful. But I'd love me some fucking normal right now so I'm gonna go ahead and still be excited about that if you all don't mind?

Really? They put a rule against murder in the book? Is that new? No? Well then they should tell people that! How are we supposed to know not to kill people if they don't tell us that's against the rules!?

I didn't sign a release!
