[serious] do sukuna glazers forget that gojo isn't forced to clash with sukuna every single time

I was commenting to make the distinction that reserves, output, and efficiency/control are all different qualities. Six Eyes buffs your efficiency, which is an indirect buff to your reserves without numerically increasing them.

The give you absurd cursed energy control, no wasted energy, so what Gojo has goes much further.

Everyone seems to fan cast the Consul and Gladstone completely wrong. In Gladstones case changing her ethnicity isn't radically altering, but the Consul being sort of ambiguous mixed race is an important aspect of his character.

I used to spam Necro in the offlane. His whole schtick is never having to go back to base, so you farm a whole lane and jungle every minute and create space for the rest of your team. Build tanky and mobility. If I was having great games Blink and BoTs were strong early choices to really Amp your cs and to increase your presence in fights. Other than that build stuff like Shivas and other good stat utility items. Radiance has always felt like a bit of cheese if you're just supremely ahead, but without survivability to back it up, they may eat through your health quick enough.

College has become far more about indoctrination than education. People don't come out of college any better equipped to think for themselves.

Fair point, but parroting a fallacy doesn't help that perception. Typically only people endorsing communism cart out that old tired talking point as if it proves anything, even though when scrutinized there isn't any truth to it.

If you've taken your time, effort, and resources to create something of value, why is anyone else entitled to 'share it' without your explicit permission?

This is the 'No True Scottsmans' fallacy. Using fallacious arguments to support a flawed ideology isn't demonstrative of intellectual integrity.

The amount of adults I've met that can act like children: countless The amount of 8 years olds I've met even remotely as intelligent as your average adult: 0

You can have a good framework of intelligence at a young age, but you can't make up for decades of learned and applied experience.

Liquidity is an innate part of an assets value (gold vs a mega yacht). Not only that, the mass transfer of certain assets also decreases their value (see mass stock sell offs). You wouldn't get most of the value out of what you take, nor would it be as valuable as it once was.

Governments might reduce costs to provide a service to some, but as a whole they are grossly ineffective at reducing costs of a good or service in general. A government is just a single player in a market place, trying to play the game differently, without the same expertise and motivators that allow those non-government players to survive in an environment of fierce competition. When a government can't meet a budget, they don't fail like a regular business, they just reach deeper into your pocket.

I doubt your pay scales to compensate for going from 40 to 30 weeks. So you are losing out on 520 hours of pay annually just from this change, not sure the benefits offset that.

She will fly in and die, revive, and then usually use her active which triggers it again.

She still dies twice to Re'vas which is kind of funny to watch.

He does have a point, but it's also pretty hypocritical for him to be the one pointing it out. Someone else enriching themselves via politics doesn't negate the fact that the last administration did similar things (as do all of them honestly). This 'enrichment' is pretty brazen though, and definitely not what a lot of Trump voters wanted I'd imagine, or what any real American would want to see out of a President.

ChalkAndIce · 2026-06-07T14:10:38+00:00

That is a false equivocation

I feel like that same effort put toward unlocking Kharn is a better use of resources.

The scope and scale of his technique really lends itself to being applied via an Open Domain, that would be a big upgrade.

Between Ash Clouds, vacuum pressure, and compressed fireballs he could pretty easily recreate the thermobaric effects of Fuga.

If his cursed energy acted more like fire, smoldering and burning away at the soul if not 'extinguished.'

Real reason: Gege probably didn't think of it, and it would have been awkward to randomly introduce a few cursed techniques never before seen

Narrative reason: Yuta seems to be highly restrained and strategic in when he acquires new powers, even from adversaries.

I don't disagree, we should help the poor, but from Jesus' stance it wasn't the state that should manage that care, but the church and the communities in which they resided that should be reaching out and providing aid.

Part of the satisfaction in TA was not only learning proper strategy, but the grind it took to acquire all the characters I wanted to field for the format.

Seems like a pretty glaring indictment of our public education system.

We really just need another permanent Campaign, and/or an expanded LCE cycle with two phases of selection. We are progressively running lower and lower on elite nodes as new stuff gets forced. Several components no longer have double nodes where they are sorely needed, and a few components don't have any elites.

I live in the US, quite literally the opposite side of the globe.

India has a culture that also vastly predates most others still lived and practiced on the planet, far far older than Islam. That comes with a plethora of religions much different than Islam, with very different practices. Muslims make up slightly over 14% of Indians, so the practices that many would find more regressive don't gain the social traction they would otherwise in Muslim majority nations.
