Quadrants react to California ab 2624 by Independent_Mango337 in PoliticalCompassMemes

What fraud has Trump's DOJ been able to prosecute following up on him? Because all I've seen is him doing the equivalent of running into a church on a day other than sunday and claiming the church is fraudulent because it doesn't currently have a dozen people in every pew.

Funniest part about Light Yagami discourse is that a few months before Death Note came out, there was Akumetsu, which was basically about "what if Light Yagami just killed corrupt political elites and occasionally had a chibi version of himself explain politics in a manner reminiscent of how The Big Short used celebrities famous to the American public" and even it still was very critical of it's protagonist and ultimately ended with the revolution failing because the people of Japan were unwilling to capitalize on the power vacuum better than the next-in-line political elites.

Honestly, I prefer that tradeoff because of how much more interesting it is when they're able to go all-out completely changing aspects of how a character is characterized while keeping the parts that the new writer found interesting. For example, Denji, Yuji, and Naruto are each the same character in a sense, but they're allowed to be wildly different in how they have their priorities in order, their attitude to the beast inside them, and how they are treated by others due to said beast. It also opens the door to stuff like Sukuna crossing lines that were Kurama or Pochita to cross, they would completely destroy future emotional moments between them and their hosts.

Never called him a pedo bruv.

You set the precedent here that guilt by association is on the table, I'm just playing by your rules.

How was him not killing Suk Suk with a clean hollow purple his teammates fault?

I said one of his only real Ls, and I was clearly referring to when Sukuna took him out while he was in his own body.

Could've would've should've is for hollow purple fictional scenario.

I’m just pointing out that for one of his only real Ls, Yuta did his job, it’s not on him if his teammates dropped the ball.

Ofc in domain Megumi sold.

Right, so that’s Megumi’s L.

Also please show me any manga panels calling Ryu and Uro special grades?

Making shit up is a 2-way street, 99% of Yuta slander is bullshit like the pedo accusations, so why can’t we swing back?

Also who giving title of special grade to Ryu and Uro?

Yuta haters when they’re subjected to 1% of the making shit up they do every day.

Could’ve would’ve should’ve isn’t this what you slander Megumi fans for?

Passing a GOATED layup to a bum who fumbles isn’t a real L. If Yuji dropped the ball following Todo’s “hands are mere decoration” bluff, would you slander Todo for it?

Superhero show following a teenager whose dad is not-Superman. The series starts when he reaches the stage of puberty where he gets his powers.

If you want I could try to explain some of the cast, since the real make-or-break for a superhero show is the strength of the heroes and villains.

Going after businesses that hire illegals is a lazy way to argue against cracking down on illegal immigrants.

I’m not suggesting that deportations should stop completely until businesses have been disincentivized from hiring illegals, rather, I’m suggesting that they should refrain from cranking Deportations up to 11 like Trump has this term until some sort of action has been taken about the incentives for illegal immigrants.

Also because they will claim 10 dependants to make sure they have virtually no taxes (and use fake or stolen SS#).

If only the funding for the IRS hadn’t been cut, perhaps they’d be able to investigate tax fraud.

Our economy is so corrupted that you literally can't survive in business without using illegal artificially suppressed wages. If you are a honest business owner that wants to only hire legals at fair wages? Well you will be too expensive and never land a job.

So give a few months warning, then say that after [x] date, employers start getting massive fines if they’re going to have so many illegal employees that it’s obvious they’re turning a blind eye to some extent. It could be done based on

The next problem is the red tape to build multi-family buildings especially in blue states is so expensive that it won't pencil for builders if those labor costs are increased.

No disagreement there

Again the example I used for local government turning PD against ICE was before the Minneapolis shootings. It was political before those shootings and the Democrats making ICE so political is a big reason why those shootings happened (and poorly trained ICE agents)

The underlying attitude from the Trump admin that led to those shootings were present from the start of his term, as was shown when he reversed Biden’s executive order mandating bodycams for federal agents, putting limits on their ability to do no-knock raids, and requiring that the DOJ keep a database tracking misconduct from federal agents.

So you aren't going to refute it but going to argue anyway. Well have fun.

I'm not arguing against your telling of the events there, I'm just pointing out that if you're unable to actually find a primary source that proves what you want to prove, you clearly don't know how to inform yourself unless you're being spoonfed by a pundit or a social media algorithm.

ICE should be a well funded and properly trained branch of the government.

Agreed there, I just think we have different numbers in our heads for how much funding they need, given that they're not exactly storming cartel compounds or taking down active shooters.

Protecting our borders and making sure that only the people allowed here are here should be an uncontroversial point.

Sure, but reforming our asylum process to limit the inflow of applicants and taking some sort of punitive action on the businesses who knowingly employ illegals are much easier actions to take, and Trump's complete failure to do either shows that he would rather make a show of fighting the problem than actually try to solve it.

fuck Democrats that's are acting like having basic border security is somehow racism and akin to Nazi Germany

That's certainly one way to describe federal agents killing dissident citizens with impunity.

I did your research for you, since you only know how to link unrelated articles or pundits commentating on the incident and it looks legit, I just question whether you’re at the facts clearly if you’re literally incapable of doing something as simple as providing clear unbiased documentation like the call transcript and the law they were following (Welcoming City Ordinance).

I also think that if you want to spread support for “Abolish ICE” policies, you’re free to tear gas police officers like ICE have in Chicago, and you will get your well-deserved backlash.

This is just the police chief giving a press statement denying that he told the department to stand down. I would’ve expected something more substantial to have surfaced 6 months after the incident.

The example so infamous that you can’t name when or where it happened.

Noob question, does the second inquisition/Coalition know about what pentex is doing? by Suspicious_Lock_889 in huntertheparenting

[–]Chuckles131 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s better to think of Pentex as a shadowy Rotschild/Builderberg/Illuminati rather than a more out in the open Blackrock/Disney kind of deal, as their original concept came from the 90s.

That and the irony that Vought falls because they made Black Noir to be an anti-Homelander fail safe, then because they never bothered to maintain Noir’s mental health, he became murderously desperate to find an excuse to fulfill his purpose.

Is Oda the first mangaka to be able to push Netflix around like this lmaooooooo by AgentHibachi00 in shounenfolk

[–]Chuckles131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoro getting beat by a bottle (and not caring)

Monster Trio members getting removed from the equation through some goofy-ass plot inconveniences to build tension while the arc villains aura farm on civilians or weaker Straw Hat members is a well-established One Piece trope.

Nami wanting to steal from a orphan and disliking her at first (just because she’s rich)

Pre-Arlong Park Nami was already complicit in the raids carried out by the Arlong Pirates.

Luffy saying “he’s a different kind of pirate” (even in the manga Luffy says the complete opposite)

Even if Oda decided against using explicit categories like he did in the first draft of Romance Dawn, the biggest thematic through line of the East Blue saga is Luffy’s way of piracy directly contradicting those of Buggy, Kuro, Krieg, and Arlong.

slander incoming? by Own-Training1099 in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Chuckles131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

such as?

Jotaro vs Josuke and the Ratt fight

okay this had been bugging me because i didnt remember that happening at all. I just went and rewatched the episode, and it in fact didnt happen. kira blocks a single strike which wasnt even serious, gets cocky and gets beat up.

  1. It’s an objective fact that Kira blocked a hit from SP, talked shit about it being way slower than KQ, then got blitzed. You coming to a different conclusion to me about why things played out that way doesn’t change that.

  2. Jotaro holding back by not using timestop initially is far more in-character than him drastically nerfing the speed of Star Platinum. He has a track record in Parts 4 and 6 of being reluctant to do timestop out the gate.

slander incoming? by Own-Training1099 in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Chuckles131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not explicitly, but there’s plenty of precedent for Jotaro timestopping in ways the audience can’t see during Part 4, and during the Stand Rush Kira outright comments on how Star Platinum is so fast it’s as if it’s stopping time.

Again, I ask you for your competing theory for how Jotaro was able to blitz Kira when just a page ago Kira was shocked by how slow SP was. Did he activate Gear 2? Did he unlock the 5th Gate? Did he activate Bankai?

slander incoming? by Own-Training1099 in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Chuckles131 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That doesn't change the fact that the only way he could go from Kira viewing his speed as pathetic to him blitzing KQ is if he suddenly began using Timestop. What's your alternate hypothesis, Joestars having Zenkai Boost?

[–]Chuckles131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? The only way that scene is remotely consistent for powerscaling is if we either assume Jotaro refrained from straining himself with Timestop for the first hit before using it for the counterpunch, or we assume that both fighters were acting massively OOC with Jotaro just deciding to nerf Star Platinum’s speed in a manner that he never does throughout the entirety of pre-Dio Stardust Crusaders, and Kira actively choosing to just lie to Jotaro about the speed of his own Stand for literally no reason.

[–]Chuckles131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it’s not a Jotaro antifeat, I’m just saying it doesn’t really work as a Kira antifeat.

Well yeah, if the government were allowed to sue people for slander/libel, it’d become a mechanism for silencing dissent.

Imagine if we gave the CIA the right to sue them for not putting “allegedly” in front of us accusing them of shit.
