I can't tell the difference between Andrew Tate accounts and Andrew Tate parody accounts. Wonder if he's trying to lay the groundwork for an insanity defense?

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I don't seek him out, but when I see screenshots of stuff he's said, it's usually some vacuous nonsense like this.
I mean, no scientists have ever done a double-blind study on the effectiveness of parachutes at height. There's a possibility that landing safely is just a placebo effect.
Uh, yeah I tried. I jumped off my roof with cardboard attached to my arms and flapped. It didn't work. 😔
Please stop posting the bullshit this disgusting person says. He does not deserve the attention.
Franz Reichelt would like a word.
With the Scrolls of Icarian Flight, flying is not the problem, but the landing.
Tarhiel's dumbass just needed to cast another scroll before landing.
The secret is that you have to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
I remember reading that for the first time at 13 and thinking it was the smartest fucking thing I had ever read. It makes perfect sense too. Sadly my aim is impeccable.
It's basically how orbiting works in a roundabout way. You just needed to go faster!
in a roundabout way
Very good.
I almost upvoted you, then I realized you had 42 upvotes.
Now they're over, it might be time to downvote
Tell that to a whale or bowl of petunias that suddenly materialized in the atmosphere of a planet with gravity
Not again
If only Andrew Tate had the balls to recreate it irl
Pretty sure everyone my age who saw the episode of Dragon Ball Z where Gohan teaches Videl how to fly all sat there that day and fuckin tried our hardest.
One of the consequences of getting older is that you forget what its like to simply not know things.
My two year old son is constantly climbing up stuff and tumbling off it without any regard to the possibility that gravity might be holding him back. Every time he lands hard, he looks at me with tears in his eyes, as though the whole world has betrayed him. If you could just fly by not understand gravity, everyone under the age of six would be levitating constantly.
Although, in Andrew's case, it might be less "getting older" and more "getting repeatedly concussed".
I think he was always a dumb son of a bastard
Just wait 'til he turns 3 - that's when they gain the teleportation skill.
I do remember thinking something along the lines of: "... that.... sounds weirdly do-able.....?? .... Shut up, brain.... Unless......"
I've spent more time than I care to admit to trying to shoot ki blasts and kamehamehas out of my hands
I did it after seeing Hook in the theater
When I was a kid my older sister fooled me into believing that if I made daily sacrifice of a specific flower in a valley near my home at exactly 6am I'd get to fly and even eat the clouds. I did that for almost a month before my mom told me the truth.
You go first Andrew!
I only just noticed who the OOP was
Got whiplash seeing it was him.
Andrew Tate confirmed "Soulist?"
Franz Reichelt, the Flying Tailor, seemed to be pretty sure he could fly when, in 1912, he tried testing a wingsuit he designed himself. By jumping from the Eiffel Tower. He could not fly.
It looks like he just wrapped himself up in a camping blanket like it's a cape, but with a vampire-style oversized collar
I had a similar genius idea involving a bunk bed when I was 5.
How Thomas Wayne actually died
The most useless talismen in the game. At least the Trick Mirror talismans might actually trick a bad red man into fighting the wrong guy.
But I get a ~~stupid-looking~~ sweet hat off that body, plus scrolls containing a new and hilarious way to commit suicide!
Great game design. Bethesda is telling the player "You can break our game with custom magic. Go do stupid shit."
Playing Morrowind really spoiled me for the rest of the Elder Scrolls series. Many gameplay elements of it were trash, but the ability to circumvent so many of them with magic/alchemy more than made up for it. Oblivion and Skyrim somewhat improved the gameplay, but they removed the option to become a god through exploiting magic.
And Morrowind removed mechanics from Daggerfall, like climbing walls and giving yourself perks and flaws at character creation.
And Arena before that had a spell to pass through walls. That broke things infinitely worse than levitation ever did!

Bethesda needs to make more games.
One of the kids at my college did an art thesis to the effect of mapping out, in giant greys anatomy meets da Vinci like drawings, what it would take for the human body to evolve to support wings. Mad scientist level and cool work.
Epistemic nihilist at it again.
Specifically calling out Bethesda is both very accurate and question raising.
I seem to also remember a similar encounter in the first Mass Effect.

I've never gotten to the training phase because of the research phase.
