“They’re certainly entitled to think that, and they’re entitled to full respect for their opinions… but before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”
I mean that was literally a point in the finale, where all previous avatars told him to swallow his pride and kill the fucking fascist. The lion turtle was a plot convenience to keep him from making a decision he didnt like.
They didnt miss the point, this was literally discussed in episode, they just swept it under the rug.
Did you literally miss the part where Aang took an alternative to a method that would have made Ozai a matyr to his remaining forces and instead rob him of the very power he used to subjectively opress and terrorize the other nations for decades? When the show itself repeatedly highlights always trying to find another solution instead of going for a plain old method that ultimately would have done more harm than good? Then I hate to tell ya bud, but…
Aang was raised in a culture of peace and understanding. A culture where he was the only survivor. If he was willing to kill the Fire Lord and negate the lessons of the monks, the Fire Lords quest for imperialism and genocide would have won at that point. Aang found a way to subdue Ozai without losing a fundamental part of himself. If he came out of that fight with blood on his hands, his character would never be the same and I find it weird people don’t get that. There’s always a price to pay for taking a life either literally or metaphorically. Aang didn’t save Ozai by sparing his life, he saved himself.
Tumblr’s at it again, thanks to the new European Privacy Laws. There’s probably nobody who will read this, but it pissed me off so much that I decided to make a post about it. (Ignore the weird language mish-mash, depending on your country the language might differ.)
OK, so many of us get this screen when we try to access our dash:
Realise how the ‘OK’ button is a nice, attention-grabbing blue? If you’re like me, you’re not exactly into reading a 100 pages document and tend to just click it.
My tip? DONT. Instead click on ‘Manage Options’ right next to it:
Now you’ll see this page:
Still pretty harmless, right? That ‘Accept’ button is looking really attractive right now. Instead, click on Verwalten (Probably something like ‘Manage Options’ or something in english) and you’ll get to this page:
Now that’s not too bad, right? I just switched all the buttons to ‘off’, because I’m jealously guarding my personal information and don’t want Tumblr to go off and do who knows what with it. Looks like we’re done! But wait: There’s a SHOW option.
When we click on that one, what we will get is this:
A HUGE list with OVER 300 ENTRIES of companies that can use your data by default if you’d just clicked ‘OK’ on that very first page. Coincidence that this list is hidden that much? Me thinks not. They’re all switched on by default, but I am still a petty bitch that doesn’t want to give out her data, so I switched them all off. All 300+ of them. There is no option to switch them all off at once, and even if you disable all the options above, the companies are still switched on.
(If you wonder how i got that number, I copied the list into excel and looked at the cell number. No way am I actually counting all those entries)
I too, am a petty bitch who unticked every single one.
If you already clicked OK previously and want to go back and click all the buttons like the petty bitch you are, just go to your Privacy settings on tumblr and uncheck the “Cookie consent” button.
You’ll get the terms of service screen again an you can follow the above instructions.
hey listen if you’re one of those geeks that chats up the professor for like 20-30 minutes after class then can you at least wait until the people who need help with shit ask what they need first
My therapist asked me to create something “motivating” so I made these.
lol.
I really love these, and I reblog them every single time. Some of you don’t realize how easy it’s to forget to do some of those stuff or how hard they can be some days.
