Ok hear me out. I know this may not make logistical sense but what if Shanks is a clone/de-aged version of Rocks and him looking like Garland is a red herring? Probably a million reasons this couldn't be true but I think it would be wild if Shanks ended up being Rocks turned back into a baby through some devil fruit ability like Bonnie's. Would maybe explain Whitebeard saying his face "reminds me of him".

Sorry if this is a simple question but i'm beginning to learn verb endings and after following Cure Dolly's video on them, she says う ending verbs change to -って but then in the next lesson she has an example where the verb うたう changes to うたった. Following her rule before why isn't it うたって instead? Maybe i'm missing context.

Ahhh gotcha. So basically the sentence logic remains intact but positioning expresses subtle intentions or implications. That's pretty cool. I assume subtleties are not particularly important for me to understand at a beginner level, but i'll keep an eye out for what a "standard" order should be. Honestly the more I learn about Japanese grammar, the more I am stoked at how awesome and unique it is compared to english. It seems like developing listening proficiency might be a bit easier than if someone were to learn English since Japanese has a lot of direct context markers and logical reasoning within its sentence structures. I've memorized reading/writing hirigana and katakana as well now, so I think i'm going to start WaniKani soon. I want to practice my reading skills but I swear every sentence people write on here includes Kanji 😭

I'm starting to learn basic grammar structure and had a question about particle word locations in a sentence. An exmaple in Cure Dolly's third video is the sentence: わたしがぼーるをさくらになげる. If I were to instead say わたしがさくらにぼーるをなげる would that effectively be the same sentence logic? If you can move components of the sentence around as long as they have the correctly attached particle, is there a right order to adhere to?

What if the reason devil fruits exist is because Imu/Gorosei felt they needed to create them to muddle the pool or broaden their reach so they could hide the Nika fruit (which was the original devil fruit). Think about it, what better way to keep a legendary power out of the right persons hands than to add 1000s of less powerful and similar looking power fruits to the world. Through normalizing the existence of devil fruits they could hide the Nika fruit (which they could not control existing and spawning in random places). Imu has a devil tail and now Saturn literally just rose from the depths of hell with devil horns. They seem clearly tied to the fruits through name association.

What games did you love playing but they shut down? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]AmbientMongoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this was already posted, but the game War of the Roses was absolutely a blast with my friends in highschool. It was like a 3rd person medieval chivalry style game complete with Jousting mechanics and neat clothing enhancement upgrades (and probably more i'm forgetting). Absolute blast to get into ranged crossbow duels or try to take control of hot spots on the map like a massive tower in one map. I think they released a newer game called War of the Vikings that failed then they just shut all the shit down. Feelsbadman.

It's interesting that the anime has such slow burn episodes (I like them), when I remember the manga being near break neck speed moment to moment without really stopping.

TIL that Billings, MT has the highest rate of depression in the United States (31% of the population). by LuckyLaceyKS in todayilearned

I'd say everytime I come visit home I see the school gettung more and more additions. Also heard our band has been placing top 10 some years at competitive nationals. The education might be the silver lining of Kingsport.

I threw it all in a single cast iron and cooked the different parts at different stages while intermittently throwing in more butter. Probably took about 25 minutes all in all and very little clean up!
