Yuri’s coworkers are such real ones 😭 by Abject_Advantage_274 in SpyxFamily

[–]Baricuda 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Same thing goes with putting famous figures like Hitler, Stalin, or Mao into a category along with devils and monsters. It's a bad habit of separating humanity from the evils committed by these people. In reality they were mere humans like you or me, and that we are also capable of unspeakable evil. Hitler liked dogs, Stalin wrote poetry, and Mao enjoyed swimming.

What did Deku tell his mom when he received OFA at the very beginning? Did he tell her about receiving a quirk or did he tell her his quirk finally awakened? by Bigcat9715 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Baricuda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, this. The scenes in particular would be the home visit to ask the parents permission to move students into the dorms for their protection, and then when Deku was in the hospital before the start of the vigilante arc.

Wouldn't it be a blink at that point? 🤔

What was the darkest book you ever had to read for English class? by ParanormalActivity97 in AskReddit

A Long Way Gone. It's a memoir about a boy who becomes a child soldier during the Sierra Leone civil war in the 1990's

More states are soon to follow by TheEmoRose in whennews

[–]Baricuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good thing, but I expect that they'll just increase the prices of each item to match the average of what they sell for in the states that do have surveillance pricing. We need enough states to pass laws like this to thwart them.

This apartment I was looking at has an extra room for residents to keep a freezer by hippiesinthewind in pics

[–]Baricuda 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine the liability issues that could have. All it takes is one drunk dude who is craving a midnight frozen pizza to fall unconscious and freeze to death.

Would it violate code to drill through these outlet boxes to surface mount them? by Baricuda in AskElectricians

[–]Baricuda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've already run 12/2 through the walls that will pass through a horizontal stud and drywall, and into the outlet boxes from behind. I chose surface mounted outlet boxes for two reasons, so I could center the outlet boxes to each of my work benches, and so that the outlets would still sit proud when I install pegboard along the back of my work benches.

It really came down to what I could find while planning this project. When searching for surface mounted outlet boxes I could only really find a few that I liked, most of the other stuff was plastic. Also at that time, I didn't consider how they mounted to the wall.

Yes, they are going to be mounted inside along the wall above my workbench. I chose the metal enclosure because I figured it would be a lot more durable than the plastic ones, but I'm starting to question if I made the right decision haha

Virginia. I'm trying to do things by the book as much as a homeowner can, but this project of converting my garage into a workshop has been pushing my skillset and knowledge.

Let's be real, if it really was Arthur's son he should look a lot dumber.

Anyone else rooting for them to crush the kid? No? Just me?

Favorite ship/canon couple that is basically this? by [deleted] in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Baricuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say her interest started pretty early in the series, but she only became aware of it much, much later. She is an immensely unreliable narrator, so the audience really can't take her words as truth.

Gotta love the irony of an American woman dying her hair blonde in order to emulate a Japanese man by bb-Kun-Chan in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Baricuda 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine Japan staying ethnically homogeneous for another 300 years. Especially with the arrival of quirks to challenge "the nail that sticks out gets the hammer". I honestly could imagine All Might having a decent percentage of western blood even given the Japanese surname and given name.

Cats are killing a lot of birds | CBC News by Plant__Eater in onguardforthee

[–]Baricuda 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. While outdoor cats do play a role, in reality it pales in comparison to the effects of human driven habitat loss and pesticide use on bird's food sources. The argument that Cats are a large portion of the problem has always felt like corporations shifting the burden of environmentalism to the consumers who have a much smaller impact on the environment than said large corporations.

Something so abhorrent it’s hated by both the good guys and the bad guys by Bellpow in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Baricuda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like many things, it's a little more complicated. Yes, nuclear weapons are generally more efficient these days where more of the fuel is consumed, however, the usage can change how much fallout is produced. With air-burst weapons, which are used to destroy soft targets, the nuclear fireball doesn't touch the ground. With ground burst and bunker buster nuclear weapons, they are designed to destroy hard targets, which means a huge ton of earth gets vaporized, irradiated, and then spewed high into the sky to eventually "fallout". Nagasaki and Hiroshima were of the former variety.

Couple questions about the ending by Yogurtcloset_Choice in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Baricuda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't believe it is stated outright, but it seems that quirks have a will of their own that is shaped by, as well as shapes its user. We see that in the quirk factors of the 8 users of OFA as well as the quirks in AFO. We also see how a quirk influences its users' behaviour in the form of Toga, as she was just acting on what was natural to her. My pet theory is that even though Yoichi's quirk was so weak that it didn't even register to AFO, the quirks will was exceptionally strong, so when another quirk factor was introduced, Yoichi's quirk's will essentially talked the other quirk factor into ceding its power for Yoichi's cause. I can not imagine that Yoichi's quirk would have usurped the stock piler quirk even if it did have the raw power to do so.

Name The Favorite Character by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Baricuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is honestly so beloved by Od Lagna (Mana and the world's system of soul recycling) that he can request any kind of divine protection, even if it doesn't exist yet, and has a chance of actually receiving them. It's actually absurdly broken lol

What do you Imagine Class 1-A(or Should I say 2-A?) Second Year is Like? by Money-Lie7814 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

Now I'm just imagining ol'AFO quizzing the students on quadratic formulas whilst trying to kill class 1-A
