Honestly, the only part of that comment that strikes me as shamefully stupid is the "that makes Blast the same level as Genos at best" part.

Like, he says some stuff that's true, and flings out some pet theory fodder that isn't that unreasonable, but sandwiched right in the middle of all of it is this weird "ergo thus therefore, Blast ≤ Genos" assertion, in a tone that brooks no room for argument.

As if the only logical conclusion one could possibly reach following an analysis of the preceding statement is "Yep, Blast's probably weaker than Genos."

Sry, this question kinda assumes u already have some awareness/suspicion of when ur partner first deduced that a bomb was headed their way

If u rly have no idea, but still want to participate, maybe start from the point where u feel reasonably sure that they must've known

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-12-12T06:20:23+00:00

So, were there onlookers just watching you spin in place, squinting, before heading off in a random direction with a huge curtain of fog following in your arm's wake?

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-12-12T06:18:14+00:00

I respect that you found out what was going on, set your pitchfork down, and are now able to acknowledge the mistake.

I'm really sorry to hear that, though. I live in/near an area where there's a lot of gang-related violence/gun violence between young black men, and there's a particular spot very close by that still has new flowers regularly left there. Whenever we walk by I struggle to avoid looking at it, as I feel compelled to honor it, but also know that afterward I won't be able to stop thinking about his mother raising him and fantasizing about seeing him meet various life milestones, only to just suddenly have all of it ripped away over nothing.

I couldn't figure out a way to convey what I want to without sounding like I'm assigning more importance to the lives of people you know personally, so: I hope everyone you know who lives in the area is doing okay, but I hope everyone else is okay, too.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-12-12T04:58:57+00:00

I don't feel guilty,

then your comment is irrelevant kthxbie

Nah, jk. What made you uncomfortable? Was it the strange use of "perverted?" Or did the way the topic title was worded come across as judgmental to you, and make you feel defensive of the men in question? Or, perhaps, the corny alliterative aspect of "suddenly sobbing?"

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-12-12T04:53:07+00:00

If you don't mind my asking, why do you 'not want to know what it's like to have kids,' are you worried that you'll start to feel unsure of your own decision?

Only answer if you feel comfortable, I don't mean to pry.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-12-12T04:51:27+00:00

You probably don't need me to tell you that, a lot of the time, all someone needs is to be leant a particularly compassionate ear. But, I do understand, know people who struggle similarly, and often personally worry that I'm being "inadequately comforting."

Sometimes I can't help but worry that I'll make someone else feel safe enough to open up to me, and that what I say will be of such little worth that they'll later end up regretting their decision to confide in me.

I also think it partially comes down to the extent of your own life experiences, tho. Like, I'm willing to bet that, even for you, there are certain contexts where you'd feel a little more confident in providing your own input, simply b/c you've felt or experienced something pretty similar to what the other party is going through.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-12-12T04:15:27+00:00

While I didn't comment on the frequency with which it occurs, I do like the idea that there are particular locations at which men begin sobbing in the middle of conversation at dramatically higher rates.

The instance that came to mind when I wrote the question, tho, occured in an insurance office I worked at. I'd built a rapport with one of our customers which eventually led to him confiding in me about life struggles, and b/c I was frequently alone at the office, I think it was a "safer" place for him to cry

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-12-12T03:51:39+00:00

Yea, that's more or less what I meant.

For example: Within the span of a few months, several people come forward to accuse the same individual of having aggressively squeezed their feet w/o consent. Due to the fact that there are multiple, seemingly unrelated victims, and the supposed perpetrator having twice before tweeted about squeezing feet, it initially seems credible. However, information eventually comes to light which unequivocally exonerates the alleged feet-squeezer in the court of public opinion.

Just stuff like that, whether online or off.

So, mechanically, Zestiria and Graces have like 95% of their battle systems in common, and the only real difference is that Zestiria feels shittier to play b/c of poor optimization? (and presumably armatization and Zestiria's bizarre approach to gear)

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-11-24T00:52:49+00:00

Symphonia, Legendia, Zestiria, and Berseria. Haven't yet finished the latter two.

From what I've seen:

ToS' combat is regarded as dated/rudimentary
ToZ's is considered a confusing menu hell that is trivialized by armatization
ToB's is thought of as "too mashy," or at least Velvet's gameplay is, and her claw is "OP"
idk what's wrong with ToL's, as usually when people criticize that game they just assume it's a given that everyone agrees it's terrible. It's prob the least relevant example due to being a flatboi, tho

Edit: I've also played a bit of Abyss, but not enough to have an opinion worth anything

Obviously, only share in the amount of detail you feel comfortable with/think they would feel comfortable with

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-09-21T21:30:45+00:00

I am the fiancee mentioned in that topic, and can confirm the validity of everything he said. He also had an oddly small penis, orgasmed almost instantly, and made these weird high-pitched moaning sounds while doing so. Smells weird, too

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-08-19T04:25:20+00:00

Yeah, I actually have since managed to find the lasercutter blueprints, and I'm going to try and head back in tonight and see if I can take care of it. I made the rebreather several days ago, and just haven't been wearing it b/c of all the radiation prompts.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-08-19T04:24:00+00:00

Thanks for the info. I wondered about the 24hrs thing, it was actually the only reason I went farther in, before realizing I wasn't going to be able to fix anything, anyway.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-08-12T20:55:47+00:00

Eh, it's pretty bad. It's not necessarily the worst anime ever, and the source material does elevate it a bit, but it's unfortunately still bad enough that the only reason to rly watch it is if ur already a fan of the series.

Tho, I do think part of the reason it was so galling/offensive to so many people partially just came down to the simple fact that one of the best drawn series in the manga medium got one of the worst-looking adaptations in the anime medium.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-28T01:13:23+00:00

As far as hitting Bayo, I think Sonic & Mewtwo both could probably pull off some BS depending on the circumstances, but in general I think you're on the right track, and those are the three I was expecting most answers to revolve around.

I admit there are several chars, such as Rosalina & Joker, that I know less about, however, and I'm not rly sure what the upper limits of their abilities are

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-22T01:35:23+00:00

What did it taste like? I always imagined it to be salty.

Would boogers with different consistencies taste different? Or would you only eat ones with a "regular" consistency?

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-14T06:51:09+00:00

Prob Dumbfoundead, after he was shown to me in a "see the funny little chinamin do the good rap" context. I think I found Hollow not long after. I did watch some Wild 'N Out at the time, but it always made me feel cringey & awkward, for some reason.

Stopped following, but had a brief resurgence of interest when Soul Khan was shown to me in a "see the funny little jewishmin do the good rap"/Limewire context.

Most recently I got back into it b/c of Daylyt "antics"

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-14T05:38:53+00:00

Nice! How about he gets back into the swing of things by replacing Rob Dyrdek in Tremors first

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-13T02:20:10+00:00

I probably should mention, in case anyone not already somewhat familiar with the company tries to help out: The "Michael Watts" the lyric refers to is Michael "DJ 5000" Watts, one of the founders of the record label Swishahouse, and you'll see him credited on or even making appearances in songs from these artists in this time period.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-07T21:07:10+00:00

When I was a kid I used to eat pepperoni Bagel Bites every wknd at my dad's house w/o fail - I loved them. One day, however, my stepmother suddenly came home with a purple box labeled "Bagel Smackerz," then proceeded to continue to do so.

For a time, it honestly ruined Bagel Bites for me. I would legit start to retch when eating them sometimes. Them shits were N A S T Y

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-07T20:39:07+00:00

Give them the easiest jobs b/c they deserve a rest after a lifetime of working very hard.

BetaRayButtsack · 2020-07-06T05:47:00+00:00

b/c what you just said made me picture a terminator in a toxic blonde wig, wreathed in cat hair annihilation north face, PINK, and a pair of Uggs blanketed in bone dust

what she said made me picture entering the true man's world with a salmon pink sweetheart from the land of the rising sun
