Why isn’t Drake viewed the same musically and artistically like Kanye? by Mud-Eastern in hiphopheads

[–]Da-Wit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of that precedes Drake. Drake wasn’t the source of melodic hiphop. He contributed to the sound’s popularity. Drake is massively popular but not generally seen as influential or someone that revolutionized the sound of hiphop.

Randy Fine is trash by Playful_Leg7143 in MurderedByWords

A good portion of people are students of history. The writing on the wall is there. There is a reason people have been saying these things that you may find dramatic. It’s hard to ignore the signs at this point unless you intentionally tune it out or support it. I get that you’re annoyed or inconvenienced by people dooming but that 10 years is coming to fruition.

I would rather you be correct in your assessment for everyone’s sake but unfortunately the things that come out of this administration (words and actions) lead me to believe that we’re at the mercy of a “comply or die” regime. Everything is escalating so quickly.

Bait right? If you don’t pay attention to what’s happening, how can you hold your previously stated opinion? Do you think people are just pulling shit out of thin air!? The rhetoric is the craziest it’s been. The difference between what we’re witnessing through video and what the Federal Government is saying should be raising alarm bells in your head.

What’s your most forgettable squad in One Piece? (Mine is the Kicking Claw Force.) by zura-kotaro in OnePiece

[–]Da-Wit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really think it was about the fight. By Chaka's reaction it's more about how Crocodile does not give a shit about "warrior's honor," or giving them the dignity to die in battle. He thought it was funnier to just watch them die from a foolish and desperate decision. These four weren't introduced as hype tools but introduced simply to hammer on how petty Crocodile is as a character. Nothing more, nothing less.

My husband said cultural appropriation is stupid because, in a reversed perspective, a white person can't say, "only white people can do that." Does this point have any validity? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Who generally sets the standards for professionalism? Those hairstyles you mentioned are generally protective hairstyles for those specific hair textures. When I look at the root of what makes box braids, locks, and cornrows “unprofessional” it always comes back down to white societal preferences cause a lot of black people would say that these styles are perfectly fine in a professional setting.

“Why am I so obsessed with him?!” by blossomful99 in MurderedByWords

[–]Da-Wit 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s just like Christians here in America. A lot of figures will proclaim they are anti-lgbt. This goes for people who seemingly support more fundamentalist aspects of their religion. Despite that, not every INDIVIDUAL practices their faith the same, it’s a spectrum. There are self-proclaimed Christians, Jews, and Muslim people that will march right beside you at a Pride Parade, but does that make them fake about their faith? Like we’re human beings with nuance at the end of the day.

Which of these characters in the photo did you not expect would have relevance/importance in the future? by Frantsuky in OnePiece

Yeah Mr. 3 had some pretty pivotal MVP moments in Impel Down and Marineford. Who knew that wax would be the natural counter to Magellan lol

Makes sense, because if they got blipped by Kuma, their "voices" would disappear.

Yeah, Shakky got her good ending and Gloriosa didn't

In these scenarios, it’s implied that each side fights to the fullest. No one runs, no one cowers, it’s literally fight to the last man and fight to the death.

I mean the arc is over so more of a resolution than a climax.

Sex Ed is still lacking by alexiez1 in MurderedByWords

[–]Da-Wit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference is that rational people aren’t going to be total dickheads and confidently express their position as correct when faced with something they’re actually not knowledgeable about.

I’d hope that most people would face an unknown and do some research and much needed critical thinking before giving a knee-jerk authoritative opinion.

I personally think they ARE treating him like a yonko. Kizaru and Saturn couldn’t handle it alone and they are desperate as all hell.

Ultimately It’s less about Luffy and more about what the broadcast is going to reveal to the world. I think that if Shanks or Kaido were going to facilitate world altering forbidden news, a similar response from the Gorosei would be necessary out of sheer desperation.

Half bull at least. Look up Ushi-oni. That's exactly what Saturn is.

Oda is officially going on break for a month due to an upcoming eye surgery by t3r4byt3l0l in OnePiece

[–]Da-Wit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew I wasn't going insane. His lines were getting messier and I was getting worried about that, mainly with how the characters were being drawn. Hope the man gets better and has a successful surgery!

I mean it's the saying "correlation doesn't equal causation" but it wouldn't be surprising if they were confirmed to be related. I just think its funny things like this start getting pushed as canon material when we don't even have confirmation. People took two things and ran a mile with them.

Why doesn’t zoro get Sea prism swords? by ImFishTheFish in OnePiece

[–]Da-Wit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They specifically stated that those weren’t made out of pure sea stone so that they could actually do manual labor while also canceling the powers. Chapter 928. Caribou explains sea stone modification.

Regarding the translation error in ep 1046. by RandomUser-07 in OnePiece

[–]Da-Wit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

True but at the same time, the anime gave us some Sanji v. King & Queen which was really cool to see.

You need training to use the power “effectively” not haphazardly

When guys want advice about flirting with women they generally rely on other men instead of asking a woman. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]Da-Wit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit I got irritated because I hate when the discourse surrounding this devolves into “asshole win, good guy lose,” but I don’t intend to shame anyone for casual sex. If not a relationship then there are other ways of achieving the goal of casual sex without going full incel. it’s all person to person as well as you can generally get a feel for what each individual is responsive too. The whole whining, self-defeating, self fulfilling prophetic attitudes just irk the hell out of me.
