stop being self-ableist

i just feel tired of life

You're never going to beat autism with all this ridiculous incel-tier shit. Stop caring so much. It doesn't actually matter.

>>46342
>>46345
im autistic and other autists are so fucking annoying lol

>>46350
I've been tired as well, There's no way I'm staying around 'til 30.

The Wheel of Time TV show got cancelled.

Honestly, good riddance. I cannot understand why people make "adaptations" and then make big changes to the source material.

>>46317
Tbh I thought it would have been cool to do this with the blue wizards from lotr. They're practically a blank slate and license to go nuts past the known borders of ME. If Tolkien's ME was him riffing off of European medieval fiction, they could have taken the same opportunity with African or Asian literature as well.

>>46330
Exactly.

The only problem it would face is that people would call it fanfiction, but since we're already in a fanfiction era, you might as well go full new material fanfic instead of ruining established material.

No lose weight, Hayley. However if they are going to be "plus size" it needs to make sense, they need to do something that requires strength over everything else and be strong fat, not the diabetic cupcake multiple neckroll shit blood circulation completely sednentary fat most burgers are.

>>46338
Ironically, there's tons of "plus size" characters in fantasy. It's just typically not done in that specific "representation" sort of way.

>>46299
no I didn't care about any of that

>>46283
yeah s1 was way better

Everyone thinks the first 3 episodes of s1 are the worst but in s2 it's more like the first 6 episodes of s2 are bad

>>46304
You didn't care about the feminist subplot?

>>46325
such a weak "feminist" subplot involving a bunch of non-characters and displaying disneys inability to create believable world building and traditions

if anything the marriage seemed more impactful when it was implied it was little more than mothma selling her daughter to some old evil man instead of her enthusiatically participating in pretty mellow traditions her mom despises due to her terminal liberalism

>>46326
also why the fuck do we need a subplot for a character who is never seen again, who her mom doesn't even mention when having to leave coruscant possibly to never come back and whose entire character development can be sumarised with the term teenage chud but female?

Idk, just didn't want to spoil the new episode for anyone watching so I thought marking it as spoiler would help.
I know that, in the comics, Magneto has been portrayed as being anti-Israel in some issues. And even through I agree that people project too much of their own struggle / politics in X-men, it's was kind of a predictable outcome, and I don't see it as negative (even if some people are a bit insufferable about it), it makes the series unique or at least a vanguard of this kind of story telling.

>>4121
I disagree. The "mutant struggle" works in universe because, like anon said it above, not all mutants are x-men. And even for those that are, a lot of mutations are more maleficial to their "hosts" and others around them than beneficial. In the real world, we have people with autism that are geniuses and others that are non-verbal.
Also, most mutants doing "crimes against humanity" a lot of times are products of people's hate on them and their kind. Even fucking Apocalypse has been given some kind of tragic backstory related to his powers (not that it entirely justifies what he does, but eh)

>>41222
>just didn't want to spoil the new episode for anyone watching so I thought marking it as spoiler would help.
Fair enough

>>>4121
I assume you mean to reply to >>41215

Broke : Mutants are israelis.
Woke : Mutants are palestinians.

>>41218
>Also I hate the change to Magneto's costume and voice.

YES

One of my favorite, maybe somewhat morose, pastimes is doing fandom archaeology. I missed the original golden age of pony but visiting old sites and forums gives me a taste of what I missed out on. One in particular that's always stuck with me is this one. Something about it is so earnest and optimistic I can't imagine this type of site existing on today's dead web:

I love revisiting the team's bios. It's just a bunch of dudes rocking. They're offbeat but they aren't hurting anybody. I'll never get over how social media pretty much bullied this kind of harmless nerdy and/or awkward Guy™ out of existence on the premise that hotter, cooler, and more socially attractive posters would fill the void and instead the internet just got taken over by the most cynical and self-absorbed natsoys, techbros, girlbosses and boomers. Unsanctioned "loser" fandoms and subcultures like bronies did more for giving people creative fulfillment and social acceptance than any corporate-sponsored influencer astroturf campaign or red vs. blue culture war brainrot since. We didn't know how good we had it back then, and we'll never get it back again.

I haven't been hiking+camping for liek 4 years, I now live close to a super nice mountain chain, where I went to hike for a small hike the other day. I realize now i've been missing it so fucking much, I used to practically live like this lmao, it's really the only activity I actually fully enjoy.

I have a sawyer water filter that hasn't been used for a few years, should it still be safe for usage or would it be too risky? Also, if I would get a new one, are there some other generic brands that are just as good just less expensive? Shit feels way overprices (as usual with camping stuff).

I want to take more pictures though, still doubting whether i'll just use my phone or get a small camera. My phone camera sucks balls but i refuse to get another one.

went out recently, worked up quite a sweat. this lake is at ca 1500m altitude

The whole eating situation is making me reconsider my desire to go camping

>>46284
Eating situation is crazy.

outsiders…its over

tadc episode 5 on the 20th

>>46252
Caine knows enough about politics to understand that a communist would be the opposite of a monarch.

I didn't understand this show at all. Just make more Nathan For You.

season 2 is so incredible wtf, why is Nathan is powerful?

here's a Marxist youtuber talking about season 1:

I can only interpret it as Ron being an unreliable twat. I mean what else is he going to do, searching for the Horcruxes is literally the most important possible task. Always disliked him honestly. I'm Harrymionie til I die. I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left.

I get that it being aimless is the point but as a story that's boring and unsatisfying. I've already been on enough shitty English camping holidays that seemed neverending, that's not what I read/watch fiction for.

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls003814436/

The last movie is the highest rated on IMDB and the second-last one of the highest rated, if you look at the reviews you can see people express that view I stated.

>>42876
>unreliable twat
Except he's not especially in the context of the scene, since despite being significantly injured (severe hypothermia, starvation, crippling injury etc.) he's still with Harry. Harry is the one projecting his fears of abandonment onto Ron. Ron was pretty much always there for Harry and never hesitated to stand up against threats and dangers no matter how scared he might have been.
>I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left
They didn't. Ron left and then because of Hermione's wards couldn't find them despite basically trying to find them immediately after leaving, so he was searching for them for several weeks and came in for the save with the Sword of Gryffindor. Hell, he wanted to stay but Harry literally tells to him to leave repeatedly. Ron's biggest problem in the scene (and it's just realistic relative to such arguments) is that in his frustration and anger, he comes off a lot harsher and provokes a similar response from Harry, and Hermione in this instance was being an utter willow.

Also the movies cut out a lot of scenes and switched up dialogue that was important to Ron's character, resulting in him coming off as more of a prat than in the books.

IMDB is not a reliable source I'm going to be honest, primarily because the number of reviews and so on there are paltry compared to the sheer SIZE of the fandom itself. Almost everyone I knew hated it, even unreasonably so.

I agree that Ron/Hermione wasn't a very good pairing, but neither is Harry/Hermione.

>It's just plant matter and cancer is probably caused by the fucking deathsticks they call cigarettes.
Nicotine is such a deadly neurotoxin that its advised to not use it as a pesticide because its dangerous even if a few drops get on your food plants. Tobacco actually kills soil, literal death plant:
>Tobacco cultivation rapidly depleted the soil of nutrients. Although this may seem to be a strike against it, early settlers quickly discovered that virgin Virginia soil was too rich for successful harvest of traditional European crops, especially cereals. Tobacco broke down the fields and made food crops more productive.
