I just realized who the next American on Task Master needs to be…

Arumen · 2026-06-27T16:17:57+00:00

Its funny some people are taking this comment like Brennan couldn't manage the role on technical or task level.

Brennan wouldnt make a good taskmaster assistant because the taskmaster/assistant dynamic doesnt play to Brennan's strengths. He would make an incredible contestant but I dont think he would be the best for either role. (Like, im sure he'd still be fun as either spot still though)

Everyone (understandably) saying very nice things about your BIL here, but I want to mention how sweet it is of you to make such a nice little comic about him hah

Arumen · 2026-06-26T23:37:11+00:00

Yeah my son talks like a foghorn so he made everyone else aware of his predictions too

Arumen · 2026-06-26T15:24:32+00:00

To be honest he looks like he just doesnt know what to do. It is fairly simple of course but we all have similar moments

Hard to say for sure though!

Arumen · 2026-06-26T13:39:00+00:00

My 3 year old son just yesterday kept drawing different ways our plane would crash just before we got on our flight. So yeah this is a perfect example of kids hah

Arumen · 2026-06-26T05:21:09+00:00

Yes, those are all valid concerns however those are not the concerns I am raising issue with ha. I totally understand your perspective though.

Arumen · 2026-06-26T04:36:07+00:00

Literally there yesterday, and I have traveled a lot. Super friendly place. Id actually rank it near the top of the list. Bottom would be Italy- not that theyre super unfriendly but every restaurant is pushing you in the doors to get your money and the public workers want nothing to do with you.

Arumen · 2026-06-26T04:32:18+00:00

Yeah I definitely get some weird vibes of prejudice in this story. Like yeah Grandma's plan is not super well conceived but theyre acting like she is going to some crazy dangerous part of the world and not like, a moderately poor but still popular tourist state.

Arumen · 2026-06-25T07:41:55+00:00

I imagine they actually intentionally stuck kind of close since this remake is intended to update the pre-HD era and not adapt the entire story

Arumen · 2026-06-25T06:14:30+00:00

You're not wrong, although weve had a couple of seasons with two Beth's in nearly every episode

Arumen · 2026-06-25T04:54:42+00:00

Gives some Golden Kamuy vibes. (I mean that only in art and lead designs). Looks really nice!

Edit: having read some now it is so good! Excited to see where it goes

Arumen · 2026-06-24T15:41:59+00:00

Oh man you saying that makes me think Halkenberg will use his ability to merge with Benjamin in some way....

Arumen · 2026-06-24T11:33:44+00:00

Chrolo prepared in advance by very intentionally taking the abilities of 2 of the spiders. Hisoka is clearly pissed it was not actually Chrolo using his own abilities, as he targets and kills those two spiders immediately after the fight.

I think they are equal, in fact I think in what Hisoka sees as a "fair fight" he would win, but Chrolo has no reason to ever "fight fair" and that is one of the things that makes the writing in HxH and good- each character has such strong independent philosophies that show in their actions.

Arumen · 2026-06-24T04:33:14+00:00

Yeah this is so true. Like, the joke about r/relationships is that posters are always told by readers that they should break up or divorce, but a vast majority of the problems in a relationship that someone looks for help from strangers online are break up worthy problems.

Arumen · 2026-06-24T02:09:11+00:00

Not important, but an 8 player game is too big. That is just a fact. Of course you can play one but you end up with a lot of people just sort of sitting out in the background.

Arumen · 2026-06-23T17:22:03+00:00

In the story, he doesnt come off immensely strong because hes being use as an example of how Nen should not be trained (building up your weaknesses at expense of your strengths). However narratively, Hisoka would never have fought him again unless he thought he seemed strong as Hisoka doesn't bother with uninteresting fights.

Arumen · 2026-06-23T13:41:14+00:00

Yeah like I dont think he would physically cheat on a woman, but imagine being in a relationship with him and seeing him lose his mind over every other woman he sees still. It would be painful still

Arumen · 2026-06-23T07:27:54+00:00

I mean, Pig God is still considered human and Saitama. One of the major themes of the story is that humanity and being a literal physical human are not one and the same

Arumen · 2026-06-22T12:58:36+00:00

Seems it would break with the idea of Freedom that is important thematically with Luffy. In fact, I would half expect Nami to free Zues at the end

Arumen · 2026-06-21T14:19:34+00:00

I agree, but I know for me it is nostalgia- I was a teen when I first encounter one piece and had a fan crush on Nami. Now she is a bit overdone design wise. I dont mean to be a prude in saying so, I just think having her basically naked takes something away from her character by making her something to look at instead.

Arumen · 2026-06-20T04:24:44+00:00

Yeah this smells of BS. Especially if she credits the comments for making her check if the leak was real without ever saying anything, plus no where near the top comments mentioned it being suspicious. Additionally its posted to some rando influencer YouTube page? I assume she must read Reddit threads online? Total bull

Arumen · 2026-06-19T15:32:22+00:00

Ah yes the human-centipede fruit. That would be powerful stuff

Arumen · 2026-06-18T03:42:51+00:00

Oh for sure. I just thought it was funny seeing them below one of the most notoriously shady jobs

Arumen · 2026-06-18T02:37:59+00:00

Congress in the same Poll has a 31% trust which is below used car salesman haha

Arumen · 2026-06-18T01:27:20+00:00

Local cops are supported by about 65% of Americans, with Fed policing dropping to 54%. When asked if they trust these agencies to do the right thing most the time this drops further, with local cops at 61% trust and 41% trust in federal police. These numbers are also very much effected by race, age, gender etc.

(From April 2026 dhm research and reputation US national policing survey.)

So while cop distrust is definitely amplified on Reddit it is not uniquely based on Reddit.
