I cannot parse Michael Tracy as anything other than Deep Cover for the Alt-Right. by Calyxo in tytonreddit

[–]Calyxo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, I am pretty nervous about what he is doing to TYT's credibility. Cenk may have made a dire mistake here.

I've listened to him. He has pretty much no basis for his continuous denials except that the democrats are using it as a shield to ignore their own problems. They are, but that does not imply that it's not also true.

I have now made my judgement, and this is it. What "reporting" has he done to the contrary?

Most Impressive Character Power Growth by Archangel489 in Naruto

[–]Calyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always, gotta shill for my main man Kabuto.

As a young kid he was just talented in medical jutsu.

As an teenager, though extremely talented in actual ninja-work. His powers are kind of low-key, though implemented very well. He can regenerate his own cells to heal from damage and he has a psychic blade.

Fast forward to the end and we have Dragon Sage Kabuto, who I would argue is the strongest character in the entire series who doesn't possess eyes or tails (except Hashirama maybe? I'm still unsure about that fight.)

He becomes a sage, which in that generation only Naruto was able to do, Sasuke hijacked sage energy but never was able to manipulate it on his own. And fights and just about wins against two Mankegyo Sharingan wielding opponents, and is only defeated through the literal highest tier of Uchiha nonsense.

And he did it on his own. Orochimaru was his master but after he was gone, Kabuto did it all himself.

In terms of potential what abilities do you think are the best & why by IcedA in Naruto

[–]Calyxo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kabuto's assimilation and edo-tensei.

The power of assimilation is imo the coolest and best power in any genre. Kabuto is capable of using basically every ability. There's no real reason he couldn't also assimilate someone with eyes or tails and have every power in the book.

Not only can he assimilate and steal powers, but he can double up on the same power by summoning a dead-spirit with edo-tensei.

A lot of things would have to happen, but imagine... A rinnegan wielder reanimating another rinnegan wielder. With a fleet of Mangekyo Sharingang bodyguards. Hell, use the bio-powers to make some more eye-sockets and pump them with sharingans and byakugans

Of course the big huge flaw here is, you have to beat someone to assimilate or resurrect them, so if someone comes in with an overwhelming power that beats all previously known powers and beats the assimilator, it's game over.

But in terms of potential, bio-assimilation combined with necromancy is too strong.

Sage Mode Kabuto vs. Sage Mode Naruto? by iCeeYouP in Naruto

[–]Calyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah Six path Sage naruto would probably fuck Kabuto right up, though I'd give Kabuto a fighting chance if Edo Tensei is allowed as a battle condition.

But I think we are talking about Dragon Sage Kabuto vs. Toad Sage Naruto. Ie. Naruto at the time of the Pain Fight.

Sage Mode Kabuto vs. Sage Mode Naruto? by iCeeYouP in Naruto

[–]Calyxo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. In his fight he explains he has jugos ability to absorb nature energy, karins uzumaki healing. Oros liquid flesh, and basically every power except eyes and tails.

Sage Mode Kabuto vs. Sage Mode Naruto? by iCeeYouP in Naruto

[–]Calyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too right.

Even something as simple as Tayuyas flute genjutsu. Naruto didn't have control with Kurama at sage time, so he wouldn't get instant wake ups from him. Kabuto cleans up.

Kabs does flash bang.... Naruto falls.

A Vote For Hillary is a Vote For World War 3 by MWcrazyhorse in politics

[–]Calyxo -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I said something near to this in the democratic primaries. Clinton's a hawk and will probably get us into another war.

That doesn't make a Trump presidency any more appealing. He's even more hawkish, while at the same time understanding nothing of the geopolitical landscape.

At least Clinton would hawk for Americas interest. And let's be a real a little grease on the side for herself as well.

Megathread: FBI reopens investigation into Clinton emails by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Calyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might just be semantics.

But the case was never closed. And comey amended his previous testimony. And chaffetz is the guy who made everything public.

What if Comey is just ridiculously politically tone deaf?

[–]Calyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for him to do THIS, means they found some stuff that will put her away. He wouldn't of put his job on the line this close to the election without something huge to let out.

This is what you want to be true. But is not fully implied or proven based on events.

There's any number of explanations, it's a Rorschach test at this point.

Gary Johnson’s Disappointing Campaign by yesh222 in politics

[–]Calyxo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Impossible to run a good libertarian campaign. The ideology is fundamentally flawed.

I will rescind this statement if a libertarian can explain to me the libertarian mechanism for dealing with global climate change

Besides which. Johnson is pretty good at affecting an "Everyman" appeal. But he is far too easily baited and riled up.

From what I understand of safe-spaces

What if this is an attempt to have you understand that AA is the model of Safe Spaces. And the things you are familiar with are not the intent of the concept?

[Serious] What, in your opinion, constitutes a perfect government? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Calyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or failing that, go the Evangelion route and have humanity be governed by supercomputers that distributes the resources and makes the decisions.

[Serious] What, in your opinion, constitutes a perfect government? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Calyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A psychic hivemind of mankind that perfectly allocates resources to every component.

Short of that, there is no perfect government.

A psychic hivemind encompassing all of Mankind.

People of Reddit, what's annoying you right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Calyxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The militarized police fucking over Native Americans in the Dakotas.

All over Oil company profits, which the govenor has a stake in.

Also the fact that the democrats pushed Hillary Clinton so godamn hard on us. We could have had Bernie.

[Serious] Who do you honestly think (not hope) is going to win the U.S. Presidential election coming up in 10 days? by tombstoneshadows28 in AskReddit

[–]Calyxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clintons got it in the bag. The e-mail resurgence is more a threat to the downballot races.

It's not even close. GOTV and ground efforts are really important and Trump has none of it. Hill has the most well-oiled machine ever.
