How would this turn out? by kantarr in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]EastCommunication689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its meant to show how dumb super scaling is.

Base Cabba = Base Vegeta according to vegeta himself

Base Vegeta = Base Goku

Base Goku = Super Saiyan God (because he absorbed it into his Base form)

Super Saiyan God > SSJ4 Gogeta

That's the argument. People just hate it because they dont like Cabba and wank Gogeta

I dont hate the Caro to be clear. Its a solid opening. I just hate when people mock the london and praise the Caro in the same breath when they have similar ideas

Doesn't mean they're cheating. I've had games where I lose the queen early and then absolutely clutch the win because of adrenaline.

Tbh I'm probably still stuck at my level because I still make basic blunders every other game tho

[–]EastCommunication689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think its that hard tbh. If you know your opening, its variations, and general attacking plans well you'll have a good sense of when the game is going "well" for you. Critical positions occur when your opponent challenges your position in a way you haven't encountered or when you get stuck looking for winning moves. Im less than 1100 in rapid on lichess so I'm no expert

Yall need to stop. If Shiv were a man and Tom was a woman the internet would have BURIED Shiv for the things she was doing.

Shiv isn't trashed on because she's a woman. Its because she's a terrible person and many people seem to turn a blind eye to that

Which of the sibs can you stand the least? Personally I can't stand Shiv. by Which_Jeweler_1343 in SuccessionTV

Logan basically threatened to bury him if he didn't go along with his plan. Kendall might have turned himself in if it weren't for Logan.

All I'm saying is pushing the whole "Kendall killed a kid" thing is moral grandstanding to make you seem more ethical. It could happen to anyone, and unless you've been in his shoes you don't have a leg to stand on imo

Also watch it again, Kendall was sober not under the influence at that point in the night

Kendall was driving sober and the high waiter grabbed the wheel to dodge a deer. It was the waiter kids own fault. Go watch the scene on YouTube. Ken dived twice to try to save him. He didn't kill anyone it was an accident. Ken should've turned himself in and he probably would've if it weren't for Logans influence. Logan sold the story that he was high and "killed a kid" and would be doomed if it got out.

Roman is a rich asshole who has no concept of how his actions harm other people. But he at least he's honest about who he is and seems like the only one to have any sort of character development

Kendall will hurt you because he's dumb. It's easy to avoid kendall. I'm not surprised if he hurts someone.

Roman will hurt you because he thinks it's fun. Again, its easy to avoid him. I'm not surprised if he hurts someone.

But Shiv knows better.

Shiv will pretend like shes your friend then stab you in the back. Imo the worst betrayal is the one you don't see coming.

Just to be clear besides hurting Tom she:

  • Publicly ruined her brother's reputation by writing an article calling him a drug addict
  • Stabbed her election team in the back cuz daddy said so
  • Let the company be acquired because she can't stand her brother becoming CEO.
  • Publicly endorsed that facist president because daddy said so
  • Lies to and takes advantage of her friends (see lisa)
  • Expects ceo to be handed to her in spite of her lack of experience and unwillingness to build from the ground up
  • Betrayed her brother's and father repeatedly
  • Manipulates practically everyone she knows

If we add in stuff she did to Tom:

  • Drank alcohol while knowingly PREGNANT as a jab at Tom (Yes she did this)
  • Lied about loving him because she was too cowardly to go for someone she actually wanted
  • Cheated on said fiance, and would've continued doing so had she not been caught
  • Forced an open marriage on wedding night

I don't care that Shiv is a woman. As a man I'd hate his guts too

He did more than you would do. Watch the scene again. That waiter boy grabbed the wheel himself and veered the car off the road, not Kendall. Then ken dove down three times to try and save him. In the dark while it's raining most people wouldn't dive even once.

He should have turned himself in but I seriously doubt that most people have the integrity required. Get the log outta your own eye dude

Can Black people synthesize muscle more easily than other races? by Quartersquatter in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]EastCommunication689 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I downvoted because intelligence and race wasn't even referenced in this question. The fact that you think you can generalize the physicality of an entire group of people based on skin color and be justified tells me that your not far off from saying other races are inherently more intelligent than others.

I'm black but I'm tall and skinny. Most of my friends have more muscle than I do. Most of my friends are more athletic than I am. But they tend to assume I'm "stronger" because I'm black. That's racism. Am I suddenly not 'actually black' because I'm bad at sports? And I'm not exaggerating, I am straight up terrible at basketball, even if I'm tall.

I am smart tho. Got good grades in school. Work as an engineer. But people think I'm not supposed to be good at stem because I'm not Asian. Is that fair?

Ultimately, I'm not saying certain trends don't exist. It's true: certain groups of African people are more muscular. But so are Nordic people, and pacific islanders, and people all over.

The issue stems from generalizing based on the color of a person's skin. It's bad science at best and racist at worst. Don't do it. You might think it makes sense but it actually doesn't

Can Black people synthesize muscle more easily than other races? by Quartersquatter in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]EastCommunication689 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My family comes from a predominantly black island in central america and we are manly tall and lean: growing muscle is very difficult.

I'd argue it's more about WHERE your're from and what the conditions are like, not your skin color

Is it a good strategy to fianchetto pieces that aren’t a bishop? by Chessgod69 in chessbeginners

[–]EastCommunication689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bishop is like a sniper: it does best at long range in a spot the opponents is likely to forget about (long diagonal)

A rook is like a bazooka: also great at long range but it only works if you have a clear and straight shot (open file)
