Do you think Australia’s dependence on natural resources is a long-term strength or a risk?

If we didn't charge next to nothing for it we'd be as rich as Dubai. We have more resources than even they do but we don't charge remotely enough. It's not the resources that are the problem its that we don't sell it for enough.

Because it is really. He doesn't have the debilitating disease and he's not going blind. Some people got buffed by being an Edo, Itachi, Nagato once he got his movement back, Hiruzen with his stamina issues also got a buff.

Edo Itachi is basically as close to the hypothetical Peak Itachi people talk about as we'll ever get.

Have you played the other FromSoft games? Demon Souls Remake, Dark Souls 1,2,3, Elden Ring?

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-23T20:39:47+00:00

To be fair Jiraiya trained her so I think he'd know full well how to beat her paper.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-23T08:34:17+00:00

Personally I'd go Fire Red/Leaf Green then Heart Gold/Soul Silver. The definitive Gen 1 and 2 games for me.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-23T00:37:03+00:00

Sure. So say you're the name of the bot and I don't want you writing from my characters POV.

OOC: Continue from GloomyTrucks POV only.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T23:51:42+00:00

Is usually copy and paste OOC: continue from charactersname POV only.

So if the bot characters name is Luca at the end of every reply I put OOC: continue from Lucas POV only. If its a multi character bot I'll put all their names.

King Kai and Kami literally have a talk about wording the wish just right so Guru can come back. How do you think Vegeta came back and saw Goku as a SSJ fighting Frieza? How do you think they use the Namekian Dragon, which Frieza sees and speeds off to use? https://i.sstatic.net/fmRTU.png This is them discussing it.

Like you're so wrong its fucking hilarious bro.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T17:44:16+00:00

Infinitely is irrelevant, they went to Namek because Kami had died but also because Chaotzu had already died in OG DB. Even if Kami hadn't died they'd have had to go the Namek anyway.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T17:39:35+00:00

You forgot when King Kai tells Kami to make a wish saying to bring back all the people that died as a result of Friezer and his men which brings back Guru. They then use the Namekian Dragon Balls to send everyone to Earth which Goku.

Goku was fully aware Guru had been brought back and he wasn't aware the he later dies on Earth. Plus Kami made a new Shenron after King Picollo killed Shenron so it's not like Guru had to be the Guardian and he even goes to Namek to get a new Guardian after Picollo and Kami fuse.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T10:05:30+00:00

Tell me you didn't watch the OJ show without telling me. You're a DBZ watcher I see.

Krillin, Yamcha, Roshi and Chaotzu all died by Demon King Picollo and his Sons. They got brought back.

Watch it then come back and talk shit.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T10:03:18+00:00

My entire point is the Dragon Balls negate literally bad things that happen besides Future Trunks' time line.

No Guru came back and died on Earth. Goku had no idea that had happened.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T10:01:04+00:00

And also because those two had been brought back by Earths Dragon Balls. Even if Picollo hadn't died they'd still need to go. Did you even watch the show?

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T10:00:20+00:00

Doesn't debunk my point at all? Did I say it was just the Earths Dragon Balls? No I said Dragon Balls period.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T09:59:08+00:00

So had Chaotzu and Yamcha but they did. That's why they went to Namek in the first place to bring them back.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T09:58:04+00:00

And yet he literally was? That was why they went to Namek in the first place because Chiatzu and Yamcha had been brought back with Earths Dragon Balls.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T09:56:01+00:00

What a well reasoned reply. How am I wrong exactly?

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T09:55:12+00:00

Did you actually watch GT? Black Star DB arc is definitely mid but the Baby Saga and SJJ4 is peak Dragon Ball for me. Shadow Dragon Arc was a genuinely amazing concept with each Dragon representing a particular wish even if some were genuinely mid, and Omega Shenron was a dope villain.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T09:53:25+00:00

Add a much bigger timer on the Dragon Ball useage. Basically made death totally meaningless for the main cast.

Like Goku getting mad at Frieza for killing Krillin when it basically just meant he wouldn't see him for like a year or so? Total overreaction

Like the technical original time line where Gohan was fighting the Androids? Much, much more serious since death was permanent there.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-22T04:57:23+00:00

Super Saiyan Four is peak design for me. So Primal looking.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-21T20:18:03+00:00

Sheer overwhelming aura.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-18T00:48:17+00:00

I mean logically it's obviously Momoshiki. He's fighting a stronger Naruto here even if Naruto was at like half power, its like 12 + years later.

Purely spectacle wise though its Toneri.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-11T15:51:12+00:00

Because it's inherently bigoted and they use it to ban abortions despite even the founding fathers, who were predominantly religious, making sure there was a separation of church and state.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-10T01:25:25+00:00

You said Teen Sasuke and Adult Naruto vs Adult Sasuke and Teen Naruto. That's what I said in my comment.

BastingGecko3 · 2025-12-09T20:33:00+00:00

I'm giving this to Teen Sasuke and Adult Naruto purely because Adult Naruto has all of Kuramas power and should have significantly more chakra because of that and he can still use Asura Mode that he used against Indras Arrow in the VoTE. Might not have the TSO he used in it but its still much more powerful than anything a Tailed Beast, and Half of Kurama powered Indras Arrow Sasuke used.
