It's one thing for a player to progress recklessly. It's another thing entirely for a door to slam behind the player with the player immediately shouting "Wait, I wasn't done exploring that area!"
If you know there's more to explore but can't, that's not you missing something. It's the game taking something away from you.
Belittling and dismissing someone because how their family members treated them when they were kids helped form their opinions of the world.
Ya'll sure ya'll want to go down this route?
That's looking at intentions and philosophy rather than what actually happened.
Jeong Jeong more so had respect for firebending than he did hatred. His anger came from that fact that most firebenders abused their power and refused to understand firebending on the level they should. His lessons showed Aang everything the boy needed to know about firebending from a place of respect and patience, which is further demonstrated when Zuko repeats a similar rhetoric right before he starts teaching Aang.
When Aang first firebends, he gets it immediately thanks to Jeong Jeong's lessons. He only messes up because he doesn't listen to Jeong Jeong about concentration and patience, which was the result of a free spirited airbender skipping to fire before learning proper discipline from the other elements. It had nothing to do with Jeong Jeong's lessons.
If anything, Aang tripping up during his training is Roku's fault for irresponsibly using his avatar status to frighten Jeong Jeong into teaching Aang something Jeong Jeong knew Aang wasn't ready for.
I'd choose the insta 2 mil, however, my point is that a lot of people are claiming that because they can't do the big obvious things like invest in bitcoin or buy RAM, going back isn't worth it, which is ludicrous to me because there are still a ton of preparations one could make that would lead to a very successful/happy life. (Assuming they time traveled at least 10 years).
I keep seeing people say "I wouldn't be able to do anything because I'd be 10". Does no one know how to prepare for their future? Why is it that if you can't do the biggest life changing decision right then and there, it means you can't possibly set your life up for the better?
i could buy ram for cheap! oh wait im 10
i could invest in bitcoin early! oh wait im 10
i could get a job before the job market goes to shit! oh wait im 10
This, combined with the "$20 burrito" discussion, genuinely makes me think a large chunk of the internet does not understand long-term investments and the concept of making small positive decisions that add up over time.
Don't need to do everything, just the best you can, which should be better than what you could before since you have more knowledge.
Personally, I wouldn't want to go back. But if I did and I didn't care about changing the timeline, I would spend so much of my life living healthier. I know a lot of things about health now that I didn't while growing up. If we're just talking finances, there are a few mistakes I made that a second time around I would avoid, allowing me to manage my long term money better.
The problem I see is that people seem to want an instant major change and ignore that they can make small changes while getting back to their current point in time.
Just saw Brink of War.
Loved it. Dialogue and acting kept me super engaged. J K Simmons alone is great as always, but Jeff Daniels and Jared Harris also knocked it out of the park.
Cinematography was a little weird at times, but nothing horrendous.
As usual, I couldn't tell you if a historically based movie is historically accurate, so make that decision for yourself.
I could've done without most of the b-plots. The only one that was somewhat interesting was the press battle of the wives, but the bathroom conflict and the reporters both had subpar dialogue.
If you're someone with a short attention span, be warned, this movie is nothing but talking; you need to stay attentive to keep up with everything.
That's two films from Angel this year that I highly enjoyed. Gonna start keeping my eyes out more for their stuff.
Maybe if you're born on, like, September 1991 and you can call something big like 9/11 in advance. Then sure, I doubt anyone will ignore you if you predict 9 fucking 11.
@ArankarUlquiora I used to think the latter, but as I've rewatched the show over the years, I came to the realization that, while it is very convenient for the story that Azula goes crazy when she does, it's also something that makes complete sense.
They said you can press the button once, but I wonder if that accounts for going back in time, because if it doesn't, this is effectively eternal life.
Of course, as someone else mentioned, having alive and healthy kids means green is the only option.
Green button = You instantly receive $2 million (tax free).
Red button = You go back in time and restart your life at 10 years of age, with all the knowledge you have today.
You can press just once. Which do you press?
Unironically, this brought tears to my eyes. It's so freaking beautiful! The colors, expressions and body language all give me so much life! Even the caption (title?) is oozing with passion!
