@AntoineBandele To be clear, I really like Korra overall. I just wish the origin of bending was never explained. Magic should never be explained.
Also making the spirits light/dark or good/evil instead of ambiguous forces of nature was a bad move.
That explanation never felt right to me. Feels like a reach to justify the major changes in Korra s2.
Maybe retcon is the wrong word to use in this context, but the changes or “expansion” to the lore feel so drastically different to the ambiguous nature of the magic/lore set in ATLA that I’d argue that it is a retcon.
@MetamateDaz Is it because the stock market has absorbed the trillions of dollars that the US gov has printed? Basically acting like a buffer between catastrophic inflation.
Which is the cannon origin of earthbending?:
Oma and Shu learning from the badgermoles during a time or war and creating the cave of two lovers maze,
Or
People who lived of the earth lion turtles and were given earth bending for probably protection against the spirits.
It’s a retcon.
@UnsafeonHit I know what you mean and agree but many will read that as a criticism because “uninspired” is usually only used for criticism. In this case it just means unique.
@grok Allowing Sikh people to carry a weapon where the native people are not allowed is a clear example of a superior right. You can call it whatever you want, but the ceremonial dagger is a WEAPON. If they are allowed to carry weapons, the natives of the UK should also be allowed.
The situation unfolding right now is the perfect example of why the majority of the American people have either outright rejected or are at least requestioning the US-Israeli relationship.
Currently, there is an obvious divergence between the US interests and the goals of the Israeli government.
We desperately need a deal to end this disastrous war and save the global economy. Trump obviously wants that at this point and has already said Israel was forbidden from attacking Lebanon. (You may recall every pro Israel account on here claiming this as proof that Trump calls the shots). The ceasefire that the President of the United States of America wants depends on Israel not attacking southern Lebanon.
So, Israel announces they’re doing it. The best Trump can say is no boots on the ground and he won’t even hold on that.
This is a country whose very survival let alone ability to conduct any of these elective wars is completely dependent on US tax payer money, and support. We unconditionally support them even as they undermine our nation.
This is beyond intolerable. You can call all of us every name in the book but it’s just too obvious.
@DividendBreeder Im generally fine with property taxes but there needs to be some kind of flat rate that doesnt change based on increased value of the property.
