Multinational corporate culture is like this too, albeit arguably not in a pre-meditated way and is a common side effect of being too long in corporate (or maybe I just think that because I never got high enough up to know otherwise... ).

I have an case against bloodbending being illegalized if I lived in the avatar last airbender / avatar korra world. That the art of blood bending has actual medical applications. Getting blood flow to the heart when needed, stopping blood flow when an artery in surgery has to be cut, Restoring peoples chakra points, even turning an otherwise fatal wound into a scab across the torso, to stopping an soldier from bleeding out, to reversing the wounds on someone who is near-death being saved last second. Blood bending does not have to be abused, it can in all honesty save lives, and I would suggest villages and cities with waterbending doctors practice said ability.

Bloodbeinding isn't the literal bending of a person's blood, it's the bending of the *water inside a person's body* , Hanma is just an edgy grandma. Our muscle fibers (for example) are made out of 75% water. If someone were to actually bloodbend the blood the brute way Hanma and Katara do, the veins and arteries would probably just either burst and/or form really painful bloodclots. If this technique you're talking about were to be invented, it should probably be given a different name, since it's so different from bloodbending. Maybe medical healing? Or advanced healing? Something like that.

This is kinda like saying that stabbing people shouldn't be illegal because surgery could save a life. Regular blood bending isn't the same as helping someone medically.

Ko the face stealer was crazy

While season 2 already showed a tremendous leap in maturity from season 1 (starting with the very first episode, where we establish that yes, the “good guys” can be villains too), it was when we got to the Ba Sing Se arc that this officially stopped being a kids show The really genius thing the writers did is they spent all of season 2 building up Ba Sing Se as this paradise, the place where everyone wanted to go, and then they finally get there, only to find a dystopian police state where the illusion of peace and happiness is used as a weapon against the populace. While the North Pole may have been somewhat of a letdown at first, especially for Katara, it was a worthwhile journey in the end. Here, on the other hand, you really feel the sense of futility, that all of their efforts were seemingly in vain.

Joo Dee was quite literally the tour guide I had in China back in 2000. Subjects like Taiwan, Tibet, or anything to do with the Communist Party were deliberately dodged. Oh, and you didn't think to mention that the name "Laogai" is a direct reference to China's "reeducation" program for dissidents?

I left high school in like 2019. I can swear to you that the info hasn't changed. They have NEVER fixed the books. They never updated any of the language in the books. The only thing I could argue that changed is that aggressively racist and avoidant bills have been introduced to make these crucial units that barely documented the enslavement and torture of innocent people, be OPTIONAL on top of it; and other critical thinking literature to be banned from circulation in the mainstream. It's troubling. They're trying to indoctrinate and forget again. I gnorance may not be aggressive, but it does bite. Slow, lethal, and dull. The worst way.

Viggo blew my mind as a kid. He just seemed so smart, I could never guess what he was planning. And i thought I was such an intelligent kid. I wonder how he holds up? Also, it was kinda genius to set him up as the third (fourth, if you count Alvin) villain. First, you have Dagur, who represents the crazy type villain with no real plan, just in it for the emotional gratification and revenge. Then Ryker appears in the second? Third? Season, and he represents a no-nonsense brute. He doesn't play games, like Dagur. Even his weapon shows how much pain he has no qualms about causing. But of course, Ryker couldn't be a leader. He was never shown freaking out his subordinates into submission the way the Beserker did, and honestly, it was so obvious that he was following orders. And from who else but his brother? And Viggo represents the cunning villain, who can read you easily and knows enough about how you function and what you feel on a first meeting to get an idea of your entire character and what you'll do next. Even though Grimmul is supposed to be Hiccup's black mirror, with how he handled his Night Fury moment, but I've always thought that Viggo promised more of a challenge to our beloved Haddock. Up til now, Hiccup had never had to go up against an antagonist who used his brain. Hiccup could have these badass outsmarting moments any time he encountered them. It really was barely a challenge, if nothing unrelated came up to inhibit him. Viggo was the first to challenge him, and as we see in later seasons, the stress of not being done dealing with this guy after probably a year is starting to take a toll on him, mentally. And that was probably stressful for him, too. Losing grip on his mind while going up against a smarter, wiser, adult. Then, in the last or second last season, he disappears for a bit (iirc there was a fakeout death) and comes back and he's weirdly trying to side with Hiccup? But Hiccup's been through this exact scenario before, way way back, (Does anyone remember Mildew?) So he's not letting his guard down. Then Viggo appears to sacrifice himself, and Hiccup and the audience are both like "yeah, this is another fake-out death. Probably another one of his plans." And then he doesn't? Show up? Ever again? And eventually we start to think he actually did legit sacrifice himself. And as the show ends, and he has not come back, we're left wondering... why? Unless I completely forgot about several plot points in the show lol, it has been many years since I last watched the show. The SECOND thing that blew my mind was Trader Johann. I 100% did not see that coming. I was so hyped when that episode dropped, and then Hiccup revealed that he'd been sus of him for a while and that was why he was so rude to him throughout the entire series? Absolutely floored me. Completely recontexualized everything. Johann, who was originally an unfortunate bystander who had a habit of showing up at the wrong time and being taken advantage of by the villains was actually, behind the scenes, doing it all willingly and playing the victim for a long-game to keep Berk on his side. And he hated it! It was insulting to him! But in the end it turned out one thing about his persona was true, and it was that he could not stfu to save his life. Quite literally, lol. Race to the Edge was my Teen Titans, from what ive gotten.

I agree with the dementia fear. I had a psychotic break once during a stressful time of my life. It was nuts, nothing made sense, not only was perception of myself compeltley distorted, I had false memories, completely different interests. After it was over full blown schizophrenia and dementia became my biggest fear.

I know you ignored the history references, but I LOVED them. I'm majoring in History and the Chinese Revolution is one of my favorite subjects of study. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language! Long Feng's appearance is what striked me the most in the first place. His hair is in a long braid as Manchu people wore it (at least between 1644 and 1912) and the most popular hairstyle for men during the Qing dynasty (aka the Manchu dynasty). Also, the Dai Li's job sounds a lot like the Cultural Revolution in Mao's China. They did put agents like Joo Dee to watch over citizens that were especially suspicious. They still do this in Cuba, and probably in China as well. And, of course, nothing happened in Tiananmen Squa- I mean, there is no war in Ba Sing Se. The Earth King was a clear reference to Pu Yi, the last emperor of China. He was a child when the republican revolution came by (and before that he was controlled by his counselors, of course), but he got back to the throne as a puppet emperor when Japan conquered part of China (the whole Azula passing as a Kyoshi Warrior part reminded me so much of this!!!). He even looks like him. I read somewhere that Lao Gai is the word in mandarin for reeducation camp (or that Lao Gai was a reeducation camp, something like that, I don't speak mandarin) in maoist China. To be honest, their practices in those camps sounds a lot like 1984, and that book was published (I think) even before the Revolution started, and long before all of this went out. It's impressive how the most batsh*t insane things can become true. Those are the references that striked out the most for me. Xiran Jay Zhao has amazing videos analyzing every reference in the entire show, and they are way better expressing themselves than me in a KZread comment, haha. Anyways, before anyone can take my social credits... Glory to the CCP, I guess.

Autonomy matters. I may know someone I care about is harming their health, and I may be objectively correct, but that doesn't give me the right (in either an ethical or legal sense) to force them to change their behavior. Most differences of cultural values are just subjective matters of opinion -- but even where objective evidence-based harms are involved, there's still a moral boundary to consider when it comes to intervention. This gets tangly when harms against innocents are concerned, but let's be real, the Fire Nation isn't against propagandizing and neglecting their own people, so there's no honorable standing on which to argue that they'd help the oppressed citizens in Ba Sing Se.

This is why I think Long Feng is the evilist villain of the story. Also remember Our Heroes never defeated him, Azula did and only by being out maneuvered and shifting the Dai Li's loyalty, and if we count the Dai Li as a whole as a villain, they're never defeated at all not by the Gaang, not by Azula (honestly if she got on their nerves or found a new leader she'd probably end up like Jet) no one and they're still causing trouble by Korra's time.

Earth Kingdom is modeled from Imperial China. There is a lot of political intrigue and power games in the Emperor’s court. Child Emperors and others around them influenced the way information traveled to & from the Emperor. That’s why Kuei didn’t know anything about the 100 year war.

So many people say “Cus phobia means fear it’s not a true fear” hydrophobic surfaces are hydrophobic, hydrophobia doesn’t have to be fear. The definition of a phobia is a fear or aversion to something. All phobias are real phobias, and depending on how it manifest as a minor phobia (slight anxiety or aversion) or a major phobia (fear and severe or crippling anxiety) determines how it should be dealt with. Obviously someone who is uncomfortable in elevators has claustrophobia but it can be managed, where as someone who breaks Dow and has an anxiety attack in an elevator needs serious professional help. All phobias are real phobias, it’s the severity that makes a crippling fear.

My dad has recently developed the scary habit of rewriting events in his memory quite extremely and believing them wholeheartedly. He can say we went to see the eiffel tower on a bike-taxi to see the lights at night, fully beileving we did, when in reality wedidn't go because we didn't know the tower did a light show until after the trip, when a coworker of his showed him videos. And when presented with evidence that we didn't (like him geting scammed of nearly 100 euros because he didn't know/pay attention that the bike taxis charge per person rather than just per trip) he recreated the story again to support the holes in the first story without contadicting it.(like suddenly deciding we went on metro instead of bike-taxi to see the eiffel tower lights, when we never went to see the lights at night). But he fully believes he's rights and those things happened, and wih such level of certainty he can make my mom question her own memories and if maybe he's right and she's misremembering things. And he will fight you over the made up memories because he believes they're right and you're wrong. It's anger inducing on the surface but scary deep down.

Funny how you talk about loving height and then warning people not to look at trypophobia pictures, and I’m here being majorly afraid of heights since I was a baby because of my poor spatial awareness, but I love all the different trypophobia pictures.

I LOOKED IT UP!

Korotos: “and knowing that you are in some way always being watched-“ My wall: *creaks very loudly at that exact moment * Me watching at 2 am: *soul freaking leaves my body *

Hear a thud the instant u turn off the tv in the living room at 3 in the morning and realize the garage door is unlocked. Sister heard someone banging on the front door. Parents dont see anyone when they look outside (in the countryside). No one found sister is young so they believe she misheard/imagined it. Come morning the cross that is attached to the front door via suction cup is found on the floor in front of the door

Did you know there’s a tunnel under lake laogai

there's no tunnel under lake laogai

That "McNuts" headline is CRAZY😂

Thank you, my friend, for giving me a fear of the entire government around me, as well as an existential crisis 👍😭👍

Loved that vsauce reference

“Joo Dee is literally a walking red flag.” No, a literary walking red flag is a red flag somehow consciously walking on its own :3 Edit: Yeah, people are not afraid of being alone in the dark, they’re afraid of not being alone in the dark . . .

Ba Sing Se was scarier to me than Hama, Ozai or Azula. Just... the whole oppression thing about Ba Sing Se.

Is it weird that I think I could accept some of these horrifying things. That even if life is a simulation, even if it started last thursday, I could accept that? It's horrifying... and yet there is nothing to do but accept it if that is true. Better a scary truth than a soothing lie.

Is It dab I kind of guessed the fill in the blank 😂 I thought she doesn't like her food

I LOOKED IT UP, OH GOD

7:57 what is that in the picture is that a dog????

i forgot of Trypophobia, the mere mention of the name has reminded me why i fear and hate it, thnx on an unrelated note, how is trypophobia unsettlingly frightening, while the sight of honey combs isn't so bad?

This episode was the first and only time during my first time watch of the show that I felt a physical negative reaction to the subject matter and visual storytelling. I literally felt like I was gonna puke as soon as Joo Dee appeared with her vacant expression, and was nauseous and uneasy throughout the entire episode. I have no idea why.

Just for a little warning and closure for the curious, I myself saw a video that mentioned trypophobia and looked it up. There are disturbing images of things like flesh with holes (or at least that's what it looked like to me,) and there are weird and creepy images of horror monsters with holes. I couldn't sleep well for a bit and I don't even have that fear. Just take my word, you won't like what you see if you look it up anyways.

The birth of the universe really would just be a random thursday occurrence.

i still didnt get how did apa found

Leaves from the Vines falling so slow

Hahaha I love the Vsauce reference

We're so lucky to be in the walls

9:55 Dude, I wasn't born yesterday. (It's friday)

Can you make a video about "humans"

Everything about Ba Sing Se seems very North Korea. The name “Lake Laogai” even comes from the Laogai system, which was the name of the system of concentration camps used by China during Mao’s rule.

Nah I’m glad I searched it. It showing the best foods💀

ju dee? jow dai? is agent cooper here?

Great I love getting existencial crises from watching youtube videos (:

Nah look up trypohobia, but like... do the little kid thing where you're covering your face so you can only see a tiny portion of the screen. Slowly ease your way into seeing the images so you aren't blindsided with them and decide based on the 1/100th of the screen that you CAN see whether or not you have any desire to see more. Better to learn you've got it in your comfy pc chair at home than to see a lotus pod in the wild one day and pass out in a pond.

9:39 *cue Vsause music*

Anyone watching my webcam would be bored to tears. My thoughts are deep. My actions? Not so much. :D

>Tells me not to look it up >Look it up >Depression

OMG

6:16 Me whos afraid of the dark itself and not anything that would be in it Guess im not afraid anymore

I think the Last Thursday theory would trip people up if they didn't have access to pictures of themselves as children 🤔

We are free within the walls

not the vsauce music lmao

There is no war in Ba Sing Se

I just thout about something else: This is a hundret year war and in this city nobody knows about the war. But what about fierbenders withch where living there bevor the war? Did nobody notis that they are disapeering? What happend to them? They also dont know about the war, right? And nobody is wondering why ther is no fierbender traveling ?

10:00 what the proof

I got covid last thirsday so hmmm

are you saying the puppetmaster is not scary

Connor and Chris Jumpscare

Don't look up trypophobia It's actually terrifying it's not a joke :(

Aang: I'm taking your bending away for good

21:04 you mean the interpretation of the truth, not your truth or my truth

Dude! I looked it up because i thought he said fear of halls😭 I’m gonna puke 🤢
