We did one of these in elementary school. One day while I was back in my hometown, I remembered it and decided to swing by the school to see if they ever did anything with it.
You know what to do: drink water, eat healthy, lift weights, go swimming, quit social media, quit your stressfull job and find the little things that make you happy, you don’t need much.
I’m 41. I’ve been active on the Internet since 1994, and will continue to be until I’m dead or the Internet dies. Roll of the dice as to which will happen first I guess.
I genuinely can’t remember if he even had a speaking line in that flashback. They did Sokka sooooo dirty.
I know there’s a lot of Korra enjoyers out there so I’ll admit there must be some appeal to it but their treatment of the original cast is near the top of my list of reasons I hated it.
I think he has one or two, but yeah basically just completely ignores him.
That’s fair, it’s hard for a spin off series to capture the magic when a lot of the love comes from character chemistry. I personally grew up with Avatar on Nick and still found Korra to be enjoyable, but I didn’t have as much of an attachment to ATLA as some people so I didn’t really feel like it was missing that special something.
I like the TLOK cast, minor characters included. The only thing that never sat well with me was the rushed Asami/Korra romance that wasn’t even really hinted at previously as more than a friendship, unless you consider her responding to letters as a specifically romantic situation. Obviously it would be difficult to get away with showing an openly bi/lesbian romance in a nickelodeon cartoon but it felt like they were just trying to imply it for tokenism instead of committing or just not having Korra end up with someone at all.
“Yeah, after the fire lord is defeated and everything returns to normal, Toph admits to Sokka that she’s wanted him ever since the bull moose event in book 3.”
I was watching Nickelodeon in the 1980s. Pinwheel, You Can’t Do That on Television, Turkey TV, Out of Control, Mad Movies… Nickelodeon was great back then. The concept of green slime, which Nickelodeon has claimed ownership of, came from You Can’t Do That on Television, which was a Canadian show. Alanis Morrisette was on it as a child.
Could be. I’m on the official forums too. It’s very laid back, basically troll-free and everyone is friendly. Even if I didn’t like MST, I’d love those forums. Where else am I going to spend hours posting AI generated pictures of Godzilla doing ridiculous things?
Time capsules with less than 100 years are the dumbest thing.
When the same people who sealed it up are around to see it opened, it’s not a “time capsule” anymore than a couple of boxes at the bottom of the pile in my parent’s garage.
It’s fun to reminisce on what the world was like when you were a kid. This is literally for those same kids, now that they’re adults. You may not hold any nostalgia but surely you can see the appeal of it.
Further, kids who do see it being opened will find it interesting. I was born right on the tail end of dial up and VHS but I remember thinking mums records and cassettes were, like, the coolest.
Like the guy said, time capsules are pointless if the same people who made them are opening them. The kids who grew up aren’t kids anymore and the current kids won’t give a crap. Old stuff is lost on them. So basically this is for adults even though they have no personal connection to the time capsule.
Hey bud, if you’re constantly seeing nothing but assholes everywhere on both reddit and Lemmy, you might want to consider that it’s actually you that are kind of acting like an asshole.
Well I never said that but I’m not alone in thinking lemmy is becoming increasingly full of intolerant argumentative assholes. This is being discussed frequently in many posts and comments lately. The guy who engaged me was trying to be argumentative and not have a discussion, that much is clear.
Honestly I think Reddit is better in this regard, despite what I said. Usually you only get the pricks in certain communities.
You can have any opinion you like just the same as others can have an opinion about the comments you post.
Why do time capsules have to be longer than one lifetime? Doesn’t time pass whether or not those people died by the open date?
It’s for the people who were there or who watched it on TV. I’m looking forward to seeing the old stuff from when I was a kid. That’s the whole point of the thing.
It’s more of a nostalgia thing for the kids who were there. The time capsule predates the web so they didn’t realize how easy it would be to just look up all the things that were in it. Instead they would open it in 50 years and everybody would say, “oh, I remember that thing” and have fond memories of their childhood.
