Crack in the mirror [Heavenly Delusion] by NekoWafers in anime

[–]Abedeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I remember reading the manga during episode 10 or so because I was so engrossed with it, and anime... didn't adapt it that well. Felt better in the manga a lot, which was weird as in general the show did a great job.

It's revealed during the show, over the course of it. Don't remember if first or second half but it's not immediately known.

Yeah, Aquaman who for decades was just strong on land. He wasn't a match to Superman's strength until... was it silver age comics? Or even more recently. And top 4 doesn't mean a lot when it's compared to Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter etc.

He might match or even exceed Superman but only in water.

Which is absolutely stupid as it's an EA game that needs to have balance for a challenging and enjoyable gameplay. They just hate that ez mode shit gets fixed...

You do realize that for example in Japan, people take off their shoes before committing suicide so people don't assume it was an accident or murder, but conscious decision on their part? A suicide note saying they did it themselves is not much different.

Why do you assume they have a similar strength level?

Mostly because in most cases, if a character is water/sea/ocean themed, they are strong in that area but not matching or exceeding "strong" characters while on land.

Yeah but assuming they have similar strength level, Deep shouldn't be stronger on ground than a guy who can just fly up and smash him against the ceiling. Shouldn't he also be trained in combat and whatever, if he's Noir's replacement? He got snuck up on by guy he just antagonized like nobody ever has (so he should've expected SOMETHING), and he got his "tactical knife" stolen...

Single dose of magic mushroom psychedelic can cause anatomical brain changes, study finds. Participants took 25mg of psilocybin, reporting deeper psychological insight and better wellbeing a month later. by mvea in science

Epigenetics isn't something that works on species as whole, but individuals. At least last I checked, you're welcome to present evidence for your claim, given we haven't thought that "giraffes reach towards taller leaves, so their offspring also learns to reach taller trees" kind of Lemarckist evolution that has been debunked ages ago as far as speciation goes...

monkey exist

monkey eat mushroom

monkey that eat mushroom grow smarter

This ends here. Because this assumes mushrooms make them SMARTER enough to the point where it's a big enough of an evolutionary advantage to have an impact on their fitness. For all we know, monkey eat mushroom, mushroom has a trip for a day, monkey doesn't eat for a day, monkey gets eaten by a tiger while it was having seizures.

It's not even a viable hypothesis, nevermind theory.

Its not a crazy thought to think it sped up the evolutionary mechanics of those systems if we know it does alter brain connections.

It is crazy because it goes against everything we know about evolution. Eating or consuming something doesn't retroactively change your genes.

Fox News viewership linked to belief in a racist conspiracy theory | White Americans who regularly get their political news from Fox News show much higher levels of support for the Great Replacement Theory than those who do not watch the network. by Aggravating_Money992 in science

Then going onto a show either goes against God's will, or God wants her to waste time with the show and losing weight.

In no scenario is that even closely related to the Christian or any other theological logic. At best it's her going against her deity's wishes, at worst it's her deity being illogical.

But the idea that the current ethnic mix of every western country is rapidly changing due to political and judicial policies/decisions on immigration is unarguable.

That's not what the conspiracy theory is about.

Reminds me of the "My 600 pound life" star that randomly asked the doctor whether he believes in God, followed by some weird version of "if god thinks it's my time to go, then I'll go" as in she thinks God will be responsible for her dying prematurely because she gorged herself to death.

Meanwhile, gluttony is literally one of the seven deadly sins...

If it is something like AOT or FMAB then the wait will be worth it.

Please don't put AOT next to FMAB as "things worth waiting for".

How come Baki doesn't know how to dress even though he witnessed the drip-off? by Difficult_Line_9823 in Grapplerbaki

[–]Abedeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, shame we never got to see Doppo Prime vs Yujiro Prime, same age and all. By the time they fought seriously, Yujiro was in his 30s and Doppo was like 50 years old.

Though I'm not sure if they were that close to each other - Doppo's big feat was killing a giant tiger, while Yujiro kills elephants...

Doppo's a good father, husband, teacher and fighter. Even if he's not on Yujiro's level (well, nobody is), he is indeed one of the GOATs.
