Hi everyone! Could you tell which of the following prepositions is/are correct in the sentences below? 1) All the best to / in / for the Next Year! 2) All the best to / in / for the next year! Thank you very much! In some cases, like for example if you compare someone who never gets sick with someone who is very healthy in the sense that he works out a lot and have a special diet then one might say that the first person is "sana" but the second person is "saludable". In general I think that to a degree it depends what you are referring to. For words ending in 'ing', you can use 'on' - eg its raining on the continent. When you want to tell a friend that you're thankful to be friends with that person, would it mean the same whether you use "our" or "your" in a casual conversation? I'm thankful for our friendship. I'm thankful for your friendship. Also, would these make sense as well? I'm thankful for this... Fences in that sense always need mending and it's part of cowboy life that gets you horseback and out sorta cowboying even if you're not handling cattle. As a metaphor, it's simply out doing chores nobody particularly likes to do, but it's part of life and it keeps you out on the range away from people and relationships. "I know" makes perfect sense in that sentence, Gil. I see no particular need for "I have known." If you used "ever" in the sentence, then "I have known" would sound natural to me: He is the most eccentric person I have ever known. cross-posted with ETB. "In the sense of" usually refers to meaning, often used to define something in order to avoid misunderstanding of a word: "The Hanging Gardens probably did not really "hang" in the sense of being suspended from cables or ropes." Or, in science, it may mean "as understood in the work of [a scientific authority]": #I think it does not make any sense in the mind of a native English speakers. In other language it would be quite normal to use the plural of information. I just wrote an e-mail where I explained different processes and different aspects of each one of those. In my mind each "detail" I wrote is "ONE INFORMATION". "I am trying to make sense out of it" "I am trying to make sense of this" Don´t make a mountain out of a molehill. Don´t make a fuss out of it. Don't make a big deal out of/about it. Bottom line: Don't worry! Don't worry about it! [See all of the above.] Don't worry about asking questions. You always ask sensible questions. Ask whatever you want. Also, the character was a student at a very prestigious preparatory school in the mid 1950s, so I doubt that a 'thigh man' in the sexual sense would not have been put in a school annual. p.s. MGArizona, you should definitely see the movie. It is wonderful and very much worth your time.
2025.01.19 04:20 Oops_AMistake16 Kataang makes no sense
This is NOT an argument against shipping Kataang - ship whomever with whatever. I am simply pointing out that, as a romance subplot, Kataang does not make any fucking sense.
tl;dr Kataang doesn't work as a romance storyline because Aang's childish crush never develops into anything meaningful, and Katara's feelings for Aang are kept a mystery until the last 20 seconds of the show. When Katara kisses Aang, it comes out of fucking nowhere, weakening an otherwise solid finale. I do not understand why the writers fucked this up so badly.
I used to love Kataang. Katara and Aang are great characters (and their theme music fucking slaps). But then I grew up and rewatched the show, and I realized that the Kataang romance subplot is garbage.
This shit was apparently planned by Bryan and Mike from the beginning of ATLA, but you could've fooled me. The way the writers handled this romance—the central romance of the show—is bizarre. I think it's wild that no one ever talks about how badly the writers fucked up Kataang.
You might say: "but OP, Avatar isn't really about romance, so it doesn't matter!" Wrong. The final scene of the entire show consists of Aang and Katara making out while the music crescendoes - it matters. The writers clearly intended for Kataang to be the heart of the show. They just failed utterly at the execution.
So, why does Kataang make no sense?
A romance subplot should be treated similarly to a character arc: characters start at one place, they grow and change together, and they end up at a different place. A great example of this is Buffy and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
[cue random Buffy tangent – and yes, fuck Joss Whedon]
In the simplest terms, here’s the progression of Spike and Buffy’s romance subplot:
- Spike hates Buffy, and Buffy hates Spike.
- Spike starts to think Buffy is cute.
- Spike’s attraction morphs into obsession.
- Buffy learns of Spike’s obsession and is disgusted.
- Spike does a few selfless things, and Buffy starts to find him endearing.
- And so on and so on ...
[end Buffy tangent]
Now, let’s compare that to the progression of Kataang’s romance subplot:
- Aang and Katara are friends.
- Aang realizes he’s attracted to Katara.
- Katara feels ???
- Aang continues to have a crush on Katara.
- Katara feels ???
- A guru tells Aang he needs to give up Katara to enter the Avatar State (this subplot is never developed or properly resolved).
- Katara feels ?????
- Aang grows hair and dances with Katara.
- Aang shaves his hair and kisses Katara, and she just ... frowns.
- Aang and Katara don't talk for like seven more episodes.
- Katara feels ??????????
- Aang finally asks how Katara feels, and she says: ????????????????????????
- Aang and Katara makeout as the music blares and the show ends.
That's a pretty shitty way to write a romance. Notice that Aang's feelings don't develop or mature AT ALL. He has a crush on Katara in season 1, and he has a crush on her in season 3. Whereas Spike's attraction for Buffy morphs into an obsession and eventually matures into love, Aang just ... "loves" Katara, forever. It's boring. It's simple. It's bizarrely superficial for such an otherwise complex kids' show.
What's especially odd is that the writers had an opportunity to develop Aang's childish crush on Katara into something more interesting. When Guru Pathik tells Aang that he needs to give up Katara to enter the Avatar State at the end of Book 2, Aang adamantly refuses. I thought this was going to be a central focus of Book 3 - Aang would be forced to grapple with the tension between his feelings for Katara and his duty as the Avatar. Maybe Aang would ultimately choose love instead of duty/power, or maybe he'd find some way to achieve balance? But instead, Azula zaps Aang, and they literally never bring up this topic again. Wild shit.
And Katara is even worse. Katara is the fucking deuteragonist of ATLA, and we don't know how she feels about Aang until she kisses him at the end of the show. When Aang finally asks how she feels, she meekly offers: "I'm confused." ?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!
What's weird is Katara is not exactly subtle when she has a crush on a boy. She is smitten with Jet almost instantly, and the animators depict this with blushing cheeks and coquettish smiles. And yet, when it comes to Aang—her eventual husband—the writers seem determined to keep her feelings an absolute mystery.
Sure, there are a few hints here and there. For example, she suggests kissing Aang in "The Cave of Two Lovers." But that moment comes completely out of the blue, with no build-up, reflection, or even mild teasing afterward. In a different show, this might've been the jumping-off point for a whole new dynamic between Aang and Katara. I mean, they fucking kissed in a cave - that would absolutely change a relationship dynamic, in real life and in fiction.
But nope! We have to keep things vague ... for some reason.
This all leaves a very weird aftertaste in the viewer's mouth. Katara is a strong character, but in the context of her relationship with Aang, she doesn't seem like an actual human being with feelings and desires and doubts. She is simply reduced to "the Avatar's girl," as they say in "The Ember Island Players" (and bizarrely, Aang nods vigorously at this ... pretty weird and possessive, seeing as they aren't even dating then, but whatever).
When Katara kisses Aang at the end of the show, I literally have no idea what she is thinking, other than: "I like him now." I don't know why she likes him now and not three episodes earlier. I don't know why she suddenly is attracted to a a 12-year-old bald pacifist monk when she has only ever liked older angsty hot dudes. I don't know what made her so "confused" ... and again, this is the DEUTERAGONIST of the show. I would like to know what she is thinking/feeling, especially when it comes to her romance!
The Finale is the final straw when it comes to Kataang. Aang and Katara barely talk at all during the final four episodes of the show. They don’t have a single moment for just the two of them until the kiss. Meanwhile, Katara spends most of the Finale hanging out with Zuko ... I guess to throw a bone to the Zutara fans? It's so weird. Do you know who Buffy spends the Finale with? Spike. She doesn’t go on some random side quest with Xander. The choice to have Katara and Aang barely interact during the Finale is just fucking bizarre, but honestly its par for the course for a show that cared about the romance in theory but not in practice.
The writers' approach to Kataang was to treat it like a reward for Aang (and the viewers) for getting through the show - here, have some kissing, you did it! The result is a romance that is occasionally referenced but never developed, a storyline that has little pay-off because it was oddly ignored by the same writers who conceived it. The writers obviously knew how to develop platonic relationships (see: Zuko and Iroh), so I do not understand why they failed to bring the same care and craft to the central romantic relationship of the show.
I don't even really want to call it a "romance," because it isn't one - it's an undeveloped, occasionally mentioned crush that eventually gets rewarded with a kiss. What a weak fart of a way to end one of the greatest shows of all time.
Kataang? More like KataaaaAASSSS

2025.01.19 04:20 Puzzleheaded-Chef384 Can I qualify for an apartment with my current financial situation?
Hi everyone! I’m planning to move this year to a new apartment with lower-cost rent to better manage my finances. I’m self-employed, and my business generated $200k+ in 2024. My current lease at Avalon Midtown West ends in June, and my TransUnion credit score is 701. I don’t have any credit card debt, and I expect my score to improve by the time my lease ends. I also have savings that I can use to support my application.
Do you think I’d have trouble securing an apartment based on this? Are there any additional steps I should take to strengthen my application before June?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

2025.01.19 04:20 No-Willow7541 I don’t like the lack of attention given to Layla and Jordan’s wedding vs Spencer and liv
Now I’m sure that Layla and Jordan were satisfied with there’s. Despite it being about Spencer for the 1 millionth time and the reception being interrupted by him and his draft. And the speech Asher was stressed to give got cut off. Then it just cuts to the Super Bowl like ummm. But it feels like so much attention is being put on theirs. The mothers are giving speeches, which she didn’t do for Jordan’s. I didn’t finish the episode yet but idk ig Spencer is the main character but they were the ones to get married first. Ig I just with they treated them both equal since this family is a big part of the show. Idk maybe just me

2025.01.19 04:19 SuzCoffeeBean A few drops of tea tree oil on my pillow cured my nightmares
I’ve had chronic nightmares for over 30 years. I’m not any expert in natural remedies or promote them; it just happened.
I love scents like tea tree or eucalyptus and one night I dropped some on my pillow so I could smell it while I slept & my nightmares stopped.
Vivid dreams still but they just didn’t go dark like they normally do.
The simplest thing if anyone else could potentially benefit from it maybe give it a try.

2025.01.19 04:19 Commercial-Phase7273 Shoot for the Stars Body Scrub
Im a new lushie and during the boxing day sale I fell in love with the shoot for the stars scrub it such a gentle everyday exfoliating and smells divine just like honey I washed the kids.
My local Lush store has a BUNCH still in stock in both sizes. Every time I go in to grab some essentials over the past few, I see they still have over 20 in stock just sitting on the discon wall and I cant help myself but to grab 1-2 big jars for my stash for later because I love this so much!
I’m about four 10oz jars in right now and I’m contemplating going back to grab some more next week because I love this scrub so much and it seems like such a bargain at 50% off. I also plan to grab at least 2-3 of the community scrubs when they drop next month here in NA! And the Old Songs are Waking scrub dropping soon too!
But I’m also taken back a bit from buying anymore because I don’t know if I’ll be able to use all of these body scrubs in a timely fashion of about a year because I know they can begin to go bad after that . For anyone who has some body scrubs that are past their freshness date, are they still good to use? And for any body scrub lovers like me, about how long does it take you to go through a 10oz jar of body scrub?
