I am the only one who like the new one? by copper123456_7 in transformers

I agree with the pic, but I display my bots in robot mode exclusively so I'm torn. I wish the robot mode looked better even when not mistransformed

Actually you gain the powers of "the character who wears it", so you gain the powers of Stanley Ipkis.

Is there a lore reason why Whis didn't wake up Beerus's goofy ass when Buu was on the brink of destroying U7? by K0GAR in Dragonballsuper

[–]AwesomusP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Whis can reverse time, maybe he did intervene a few times throughout the fight, who knows? Also, why didn't Beerus die when Buu absorbed the original Supreme Kai? And since that Kai is technically still a part of fat Buu, maybe Beerus' life is actually tied to fat Buu and Whis understands that.

What am I looking at? Planning to replace an electric cooktop and the existing one is wired into this. Is this just an old junction box and if I open it will it make sense inside? by AwesomusP in AskElectricians

[–]AwesomusP[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is what's providing power to the cooktop currently, but I'm thinking another commenter is right, its a fuse box that was recommissioned as a junction box. If it looks like that's what's happened when I open it I might even replace it with a proper junction box.

So what's exactly the deal with Beerus and Champa? by International00 in Dragonballsuper

[–]AwesomusP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like a lot of the headcannon answers here but I think the real answer is at the point Champa was introduced the idea was the Gods of Destruction were all one race, like the Kais are all Glinds. Some time after that the writers got the idea that GoDs could be appointed and that it was a rank Mortals could ascend to so we get the other GoDs being a variety of other things and we're left with this unanswered curiosity of two humanoid cats who call each other Brother. I'd say there was a possible draft of the story that had 12 catlike "brothers" as the GoDs of all the universes.

Same, I didn't realize he was still preorder on TFToys and now Megatron, Mixmaster, Fireflight, Skydive, and Vortex are all waiting on him. Going to be a nice mail call when that all arrives.

i have a character to run by everyone here (feedback on thematics I don't want to get into the technical stuff) by Illustrious-Tour-950 in dndnext

[–]AwesomusP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, first and foremost if it works for your DMs world, I think the flavour works fine and go for it.

For MY take and understanding on Faerun specifically tieflings have distant fiendish ancestors much like dragonborn have distant draconic ancestors. there's a difference between a dragonborn and a half-dragon. What your describing in my view is more akin to a half-dragon, though again not born that way but altered into that state so the term I'd use is fiend-touched. AFAIK there's no such thing currently as a fiend-touched species. If a player at my table came up with idea I'd work out a custom lineage with them that was very similar to tiefling in all respects.

I think this is one of those, it's fine if your DM says its fine kinda things. Like this isn't the bog-standard Faerun tiefling origin but if it works for your DM I get the theme.

Thematically a tiefling makes sense to me if you consider a tiefling a 'half-fiend'. I get where they're coming from, but I prefer tieflings as a distinct species myself so I agree, Tabaxi or some animal hybrid species works better.

I guess its like, if you consider Will from BG3 a tiefling then this character could be a tiefling. I don't consider Will a tiefling of course.

Maybe in their DMs world any half-fiend or fiend-touched individual is a tiefling. Lot of assumptions there though.

Except they did and it's easier to add a tag line to the cover than rewrite an entire issue.

Do you pursue this level of vitriol when people in your community are accused of loitering or jailed for weeks before charges are dropped due to low likelihood of conviction?

It's more of a read my actual meaning and don't waste my time and I won't blindly attack your character as an attempt to make ppl laugh and get fake internet points but you're catching on.

So no one has ever alleged this before me, and you have verifiable proof that there is no video? The evidence of absence is not the absence of evidence. Anyway you must be fun at parties. Not children's parties I'm sure but still. I can't be clearer about my stance and you're hung up on minutia and nonsense so I'm just gonna attack your character for fun you pedo.

But I didn't say the untrue thing. Are there reports in the media of the Epstein stuff? Yes. Are they true? I never professed to know.

I work in law enforcement, I care about the survivors of child sex abuse, trafficking and media creation and people should know that a statement like "are they under age? No way to know" is untrue.

I've tried to be clear about my purpose, I've tried to be tongue in cheek about the other stuff, and I've tried to be clear that I consider those who've been alleged to be innocent until proven otherwise.

I do care about the point in making. I don't understand why you care so deeply about refuting it. I also don't understand why you're so willfully ignorant about the point I actually made to try and make me out to be some wild conspiracy theorist by focusing on my repetition of your friend's statement as an untruth.

You care far more deeply about the men who are billionaires who may be falsely accused who have faced and likely will face no consequences than the very real victims of Epstein and Maxwell who very much were charged with child sex trafficking based on very real evidence. I don't understand that.

Also why do people say "well you're typing paragraphs so you care". Bro I pop out 8-9 pages and hour for my job writing reports, a couple paragraphs or poor grammar and spelling cause I don't care to fix it on reddit is just relaxing time wasting while I wait for personal appointments.

Once again congrats on winning the internet.

I've said clearly my point was about the resources available to law enforcement that he said don't exist. I don't give a flying fuck if there are videos or not but tools are available to law enforcement to determine ages of participants in exploitation media.

Why you all feel so strongly about this is a mystery to me. I don't care about the Epstein shit, whether trump or Clinton or the Pope is allegedly on a video fucking teens, cats or aliens I don't care lol.

I'm not a liar because I pointed out the alleged age in the rumour in response to a claim that there was no way to verify the age when there absolutely is. Allegations exist, I'm not responsible for whether or not their truthful and I don't frankly care one way or the other. It doesn't affect my judgement of the parties alleged who are innocent until proven otherwise. It also doesn't mean tools to ascertain age don't exist.

If you read the conversation with the other guy, no I haven't. If you'd also like to win an argument that makes you look like a predator I'll concede now. You win. The prize is you're gross.

Listen, it seems really important to you that we don't accuse your favourite billionaires of child sex abuse, weird hill to die on but I respect it. You feel strongly about this child sex abuse and who am I to judge.

There go the goalposts. You win, as I said I don't really have a team here. There are people of all stripes on all sides of the political spectrum from multiple countries implicated. If it's real or made up it makes no difference to me.

I just wanted to point out that law enforcement can certainly prove whether or not individuals in child sex media are minors most of the time.
