ill be honest as much as i love to criticise the use of fatphobia for comedy ill never be able to hold the fatphobic jokes in kung fu panda against it

like yea those movies are guilty of dipping into The Usual Tropes for a cheap laugh but not only is the character writing for the fat characters the strongest and most sympathetic ive Ever seen literally just the character designs of the pandas in the 3rd movie get me choked up sometimes. theyre all so appealing and clearly treated with the same care and attention as everyone else without copping out and making them Barely Fat. po is already a size that doesnt exist in film protags and hes still the thinnest person in that whole village and that meant a lot to me

clay lives au where he very quickly enters stardom as a famous astronaut after hat-2, especially being the youngest astronaut ever. but apollo still doesnt really tell anyone about them. he mentions his childhood friend or will sometimes mention him by the name clay but that's about it. says his friend likes space and works at a space center but doesn't say much else. and it's not like its the clay terran. thatd be dumb. right?

and as friends do he loves telling embarrassing stories like when clay tried piercing his ear using a pen. so everyone apollo is friendly with knows about clay, apollos childhood friend whos a huge fucking idiot that can't be trusted with a microwave. and then clay shows up the waa. unannounced, of course. athenas like 💭(HOLY SHIT CLAY TERRAN?? WHAT'S HE DOING HERE) and trucys like jawdropped. and apollo rolls his eyes and groans and like "well if it isn't sir dirt dirt. what do you want clay?" and everyones like "THATS CLAY???" apollos like "? yeah. what about it. do you want to see the scar from his failed piercing" and clays like "how could you! i thought you swore yourself to secrecy. we even made a fake nda" "should've made me sign a real one then"

As cold weather sweeps across the U.S., some electric vehicle owners are learning a bitter truth: Low temperatures can stop the cars dead in their icy tracks.

The issue crystallized this week when some Tesla owners in Chicago discovered their EVs' batteries had died in sub-zero temperatures. Drivers also said some of Tesla charging stations weren't working, or if they did work that the stations were taking longer than usual to charge up their vehicles.

“I've been here for over five hours at this point, and I still have not gotten to charge my car,” Tesla driver Brandon Welbourne told CBS Chicago. “A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours.”

What happens to electric vehicles in cold weather?

Here's what to know.

Electric vehicles are less efficient in cold weather, with Recurrent's research finding that below-freezing temperatures reduced driving range up to 30% on 18 popular EV models.

An EV with a 200 to 215 mile range may only go 150 to 175 miles in the cold, Recurrent's Case said, while noting even that reduced mileage is often sufficient for most drivers. “The average person with an EV drives 30 miles a day,” he said.

Still, a shorter range in cold weather could be an issue for some owners if their EV runs out of juice miles earlier than expected, potentially leaving to hunt for an available charger or, worse, stranded in dangerously frigid conditions.

has anyone played mazm: the phantom of the opera... i just bought it on my switch bc it was less than five dollars and the art is cute. idk if i like it as a game tho?

more than anything it feels closer to a visual novel than a game? which is... fine i guess, just not what i was expecting. though i think if i wasnt hyperfixated on poto i wouldnt be satisfied w this lol

i also assume it follows the book?? not that ive finished the book yet so i cant be certain but charas like sorelli and jammes and philippe are there? also raoul is so cute fkfhdkxbskdns

ffxiv garlemald discourse is so funny because people will go "ugh people just cant stand it when things aren't black and white" and then you look at how the empire are portrayed in stormblood and shadowbringers and its like hm. that seems like a pretty intense and accurate display of violent imperialism to me! Wow I wonder why people in this day and age may find it hard to feel sympathy for them or even hate them on principal. god its such a mystery.

the games like 50/50 to me on how it tackles these themes because I actually like the garlemald arc in EW, I think it has a lot of horrific and powerful scenes depicting how self destructive fascist propaganda and beliefs are, but I also think it doesn't go far enough on some fronts. the garleans' xenophobia is most notably and obstacle to getting them to accept the contingent's help, which is what they're there to do,

but there's never an admission of harm from any garleans on the uuuuuuuuh massive amount of war crimes the nations around them are still suffering from they're just kind of like "we misjudged you...but you actually wanted to help us all along" like yeah thats great now can we get you all some deprogramming because you keep talking about returning to your prime and glory days and I think we need to unpack some stuff you really SHOULDNT return to. im not even really talking about EW proper but the patches where things are a bit more chilled out and people are recovering.

It feels like they wanted to have their critique of imperialism and also have things end with the beauty of human connection and reaching out and these things just don't mesh well because hey a lot of your modern day audience is not gonna like having to treat people yelling xenophobic things at the cast and your character with kid gloves after you showed them hours and hours of the awful things these people's beliefs have done. especially in the present day hoo boy.
