I hear the streaming numbers are great.

Even more awesome because when zaheer said it, it was half-respect, half-swagger. Like, finally someone on my phisophical level, a *fellow* master. Nope.
Another thought is that it drives home the Sith vibe of Zaheer. He has this deep knowledge and respect for airbending and air nomad tradition while simultaneously…

I liked this movie when I saw it. I thought it was a great casting-against-type and sly did great with the role. Really, everyone except rappaport and de niro were otherwise on-the-nose casting but being great actors, they pulled out solid performances that didn't veer into caricature. De Niro was good and rappaport…

In addition, he's not exactly a rational actor in situations. I can see someone like him doing that because this is the story that he really wants after years of cynicism and bottom-crawling in drugs and booze, he finally cares again.

I discovered this two episodes ago and I can't stop myself from leaping ahead, so I've been avoiding commenting so I don't inadvertantly spoil anything.

I apologize but I don't follow what this illustrates.

lol, google is right there, go research articles first-generation wealth vs. inherited wealth. And to your second question, yes the wealth comes from industrialist, capitalists, magnates, etc. But the point is, as I noted at the end, the wealth pools. If I'm wealthy, it is far easier to remain wealthy or become…

Elon is an exception as are Bill Gates and say, Mark Zuckerberg. The number of heirs to fortunes vastly outnumber the people who built fortunes. And wealth pools.

yep, you're right

inner walls for the upper ring, though.

the comment section is still buzzing. share your thoughts!

I could flood this thread with examples of human nature suggesting otherwise. The government isn't some entity, it's comprised of people. We're the government, some idealistic, some ideological, some craven, many incompetent. But they're us, with foibles, strengths, and venal drives. Remove government and you're still…

This. The earth queen wasn't seeing the air rushing from her lungs, just feeling it as it left her mouth, the deepest involuntary exhale of her life.

i used to work with a libertarian and my simple question to him was, where is an advanced society implementing such a system? Is there one in history to study as a model? Because I don't think there is. It seems to fly against the current state of human nature.

You're actually in the majority, from what I've seen.

because he wants everyone to hate it like he does. It's killing him we're loving this season which makes him resolve to hate it even more and rain on our enjoyment.

from the avatar wiki:

so, it's like you shot an airball?

if you mean while she was restrained, it was because she was restrained. She needs to be able to focus chi and isn't one of the rare benders that can do that without bending forms (the movements the benders do).

yeah good point about the bubble. I don't think Korra knows how to sand-bend though. My understanding is with specialized bending she usually needs instruction.
