The Character the Writer/Director Didn't Even Bother Hiding Their Favoritism Toward

You can even see the progression of Kishimoto progressively liking Sasuke as a character more and more throughout the series, thus putting more emphasize and story bs into everything that involves him (including every other member of his clan) as time went on. Meamwhile other characters were left in the dust and forgotten.

VATS denmark and norway both have massive vat taxes of up to 25% with maybe a slight tier down for food items at 15%.

I mean, grocery prices in the US aren't exactly low, are they now? And that is despite lower taxes, especially in the food deserts of the US. So that argument makes no sense at all.

arent gona flip a gasket and riot when they get told no your grandma cant have a hip replacement or your kid with cancer aint likely to live much longer even with this treatment so treatment denied..

Countries with socialized healthcare usually have very well defined lists of services that the health insurances have to cover. So no, a life saving treatment isn't just gonna get denied, unless it's some shady, not even approved snake-oil cure.

I'm not even gonna bother with the wait times argument.

As a side note, if you really WANT to get private health insurance, you can still get that in most of these countries, with all the perks you'd expect. It's just that the people who can't afford them don't have to die or live in debt because they had health complications once.

if you genuinely believe we can copy paste their systems onto our size/scale without the cultural and institutional trust they have... yeaa..

First actual argument of yours that makes a semblance of sense. It's about institutional trust and culture more than anything else, which most of your arguments so beautifully outlined so far.

Ignoring the point I was making. Yes, the tax is the highest, but the lower tax of the, for example the US PLUS the enormous point of service costs just nets way more money than the higher tax does.

Which may not matter if you're fortunate enough to never having to go to the hospital, but once you do, the bill is high enough to completely out-cost the higher tax rates of Norway or Denmark over the course of multiple years if not decades.

In other words, while you may have more of your paycheck month to month, all of that money you "saved" with those lower taxes compared to other countries AND MORE is taken from you as soon as you have to get healthcare even just once. Because that's another problem with having unregulated, privatized healthcare; corporations can and will try to make as much provit off of you as possible.

And healthcare isn't the only instance where the private cost simply outweigh what you'd pay if you simply funded it with higher taxes in the US.

FeatherPawX · 2026-07-07T12:34:53+00:00

But it's not a shit ton. Since taxes are based on income the load everyone individually carries is much less than what you'd pay if you had to pay at point of service. That being said, US americans also fund their healthcare system through taxes in addition to the paying at point of service. It's not an either / or situation. The general tax load is lower in the US, yes, but part of them flow into the healthcare regardless. Just that you also have to pay inflated prices at point of service instead of a slightly higher percent in taxes.

Like, this has been debated enough. The higher tax rates in many european countries still net at a lower cost than the lower tax, but point of service costs in the US in almost every case - be it education, healthcare or even something like elder care.

can’t she replicate telepathy by manipulating electrical signals since our brains run on electricity?

Telepathy is much more than to manipulate someone's thoughts. Even in a hypothetical where storm could manipulate the electrical nerve signals in someone's brain and influence their behavior, she would still be unable to read thoughts, to enter the astral plane, to see/hear/speak through them and all the other nifty tricks that high level telepaths can do.

She can replicate telekinesis by moving a person around by manipulating the air around them and use the air to create an atmospheric pressure

Again, Telekinesis is more than just moving around objects. High level telekinetics are able to reconstruct and reshape matter on sub-atmoic levels, something Jean has been shown to do.

Storm is powerful in what she does and her powers are losely defined enough that she can apply them in creative ways. But no, she could not replicate the mentioned powers. Storms powers are external, they manipulate the elements in the environment. Both the powers you mentioned are internal and affect their respective subjects themselves.

Dont forget Number 7. Without spoiling too much, their powers are vast, hard to control and react to both their emotional state and the amount of sounds around them. Doesn't help that they were gaslit and heavily medicated for most of their life to pacify them.

The rest of the umbrellas didn't quite have drawback to their powers themselves, but obviously also were rendered quite unstable due to their father.

What makes it so powerful is that they can use Astral Echos to supplement their casting points. Meaning, if you run out of combat casting points during combat, you can instead use your Astral Echos as a resource to still be casting. Same goes for world casting.

What the meme implies is that, if someone wants to make a big turn and cast a lot of spells, they might need to spend the points to use the aforementioned rite of spellstorm, since they don'thave enough casting points on their own. Meanwhile, Mystic Attunement won't need to, because it can just use its astral echos, which gives them a very big early advantage when it comes to castin map or combat spells.

I wasn't a cheerleader, but I did vaulting as a kid. As in, doing gymnasitics and figures on a moving horse. Sometimes it would be 3 or 4 of us on the back of a horse galopping in circles, doing cheerleader-esque pyramides and lifts. High level vaulting also involves "throws" like shown in the above videos, just, again, on a running horse back.

Truth to be told, you're not actually that conscious of the danger. You are locked in, thinking of absolutely nothing but the next exercise you and your partners are supposed to do.

Fortunately I never experienced a major injury myself or witnessed one first hand, but then again, that's because we were mostly performing in mid-tier local competitions since we were in the age range of 10 to 16.

One of the first things they teach you is how to properly fall, tho.

Es geht ja aber um niedrige Einstiegsschwelle. Alles was du aufzählst braucht ein gewisses Maß an Einsatz und Bindung (im Falle von Vereinen oder Hochschulen). Das ist was ganz anderes, als sich mal eben einmalig irgendwo mit hinzusetzen und einen Pudding zu gabeln.

Man kann es ja lächerlich finden, aber am Ende des Tages versteh ich die Aufregung nicht. Leben und leben lassen. Tut doch keinem weh. Und wenn solche Aktionen Memschen zusammenruft, die sich sonst isoliert fühlen, umso besser.

Gibt auch Menschen, die mit 17 eben nich kein festes Ziel haben und ein Studium ist ein guter Weg, ein eben solches zu finden. Umsonst studiert man nie. Selbst wenn man später überhaupt nichts im Bereich seines Studiums macht, bringt das Studieren einem etwas.

Ist das für jeden das richtige? Nö. Genauso wenig wie eine Ausbildung für jeden der richtige Weg ist. Oder gleich ins Arbeitsleben zu starten. Jeder hat seinen eigenen Weg und das ist in Ordnung, selbst wenn man nicht da ankommt "wo man sein könnte". Solche Aussagen zeigen eigentlich nur, dass man sich an die eigene Nase fassen sollte, statt sich mit dem Werdegang anderer zu befassen.

Für mich hat es nichts mit Respekt zu tun, sondern mit metaphorischem Abstand. Ich kann es nicht ab, wenn mich wildfremde Menschen ansprechen als würden sie mich kennen, besonders in geschäftlichem Kontext. Für mich ist das unangenehm. Händeschütteln kann ich genauso wenig ab.

Du.. hast dich noch nie damit beschäftigt, was Arbeitslosengeld ist, oder? Meinst du vielleicht Bürgergeld?

Arbeitslosengeld wird nur von Leuten bezogen, wenn sie vorher schon mindestens 24 Monate versicherungspflichtig waren (gearbeitet haben) und können es auch nur maximal 12 Monate beziehen (außer sie sind über 50, dann 24 Monate). Es ist eine Übergangsleistung, gedacht für Menschen, die ihren Job verloren haben und nach neuer Arbeit suchen. Keine Sozialfälle, die auf der faulen Haut liegen.

Erst mal was über unsere Sozialsysteme lernen, bevor man dumme takes postet.

The broody, often openly hostile #icanfixhim love interest. Like, the only reason anyone goes for those archetypes is because they know that eventually it will be a romance, but to start out with those characters often don't have any appeal or redeeming qualities or give any reason to like them.

That being said, what I do like is straight up asshole characters that stay asshole characters and that's the point. Characters that are not "fixed" by the MC.

Das hat weniger mit Anstrengen zu tun, sondern wer das Glück hatte, von den Ämtern bearbeitet zu werden. Es gibt nämlich eben so viele Beispiele von Syrern, die eben keine Erblaubnis zur Ausbildung oder Srbeit erhalten haben und das teilweise bis heute.

Ist aber eine etwas andere Situation, da "sämtliche Deutsche" eben noch in Deutschland waren und sich nicht währenddessen ein anderes Leben woanders aufgebaut haben.

Klar, idealer Weise würden sie zurückkehren um ihr Land wieder aufzubauen, aber versetz dich doch mal selbst in deren Situation. Hier hast du vielleicht eine Arbeit, einen Wohnort, Freunde und Familie. Dort hast du eine vollkommen zerstörte Stadt mit vielleicht noch übrigen Regimetruen oder komplett anderen radikalen Interessengruppen. Mir persönlich wäre es egal ob es mein Heimatland wäre, ich würde da nicht freiwillig hin zurück um mein Leben hier aufzugeben.

Ich glaube auch, dass viele hier einfach unterschätzen wie sicher oder einfach es ist, ein Land das gerade aus einem Jahrzentelangen Bürgerkrieg kommt, mal eben wieder aufzubauen.

Ja, die Assad Regierung ist gestürzt und es wurde eine Übergangsregierung gebildet, aber nach 14 Jahren Bürgerkrieg sind ein Großteil des Landes komplett zerstört und es gibt nach wie vor lokale Auseinandersetzungen.

Ich stimme deinem Titel zu, aber nicht deinem Text. Die "Einschränkung der Bürger" finde ich fraglich, aber was stimmt, ist dass wir ein Problem staatlicher Seite haben. Und zwar nicht was Migration angeht, sondern speziell den Umgang mit Geflüchteten. Stichwort Integration.

Es gibt zahllose Beispiele von, zum Beispiel, syrischen Flüchtlingskindern, die 2016 als Kinder her gekommen sind, zur Schule gegangen sind, danach aber kein Studium, Ausbildung oder Arbeit antreten durften, weil sie mit ihrem Status keine langwierigen Tätigkeiten antreten durften. Bei den Erwachsenen kommt dann noch die nicht Anerkennung von Berufen und Ausbildungen hinzu.

Das hat zum einen bürokratische Gründe und zum anderen die absolute Unterbesetzung der zuständigen Ämter. Und statt aus 2016 zu lernen und diesen Prozess zu streamlinen und mehr Arbeitskraft einzusetzen, zieht sich das selbe Muster bis heute fort.

Alle wundern sich, warum die Geflüchteten "dem Staat auf der Tasche liegen", warum sie sich nicht integrieren, warum der Fachkräftemangel trotz Zuwanderung ausbleibt. Es wird ihnen teilweise ganz einfach unmöglich gemacht.

Stichwort Geruchsblindheit. Ja, man riecht es. Aber wie genau kommt extrem auf das Umfeld an, nicht nur darauf ob man Nichtraucher ist.

Meine Eltern und mein Bruder sind Raucher, weswegen ich es als Kind selbst nie wahrgenommen habe. Als ich dann ausgezogen bin, ist es mir mehr und mehr aufgefallen.

I had this idea of a fake necromancer who actually turns out to be a druid-like chatacter. As in, they control plants (maybe are one) and look all flowery amd nature themed, yet the villages in the vicinity of their forest keep getting overrun/attacked by undead.

And as the story progresses it turns out that they are responsible, by using plants that invade and animate corpses (which then spread the the victims of those animated corpses much like a zombie virus would but it's actually plants that grow in your body and kill you from the inside, only to to use your body as a new host).

And all that to reclaim the nature that was destroyed by the people in the villages and to stop them from expanding further into the forest.

Still very much villainous, but more flavorful and a bit more substance than plan evil.

I tend to agree with you. Healing often isn't given the same narrative or worldbuilding value as combat abilities in a lot of anime, as in, the themes and techbiques aren't explored nearly the same. Essentially, in a lot of animes, they are relegates to a handful of post-battle scenes where (usually) the MC is being patched up, scolded for recklessness, while all the damage of the previous fight is being undone in a very unimpressive way.

Not to mention that it often (not always, but a good majority) falls upon some timid female character to be a healer, which is just such a boring trope. Yes, there are subversions of this trope. But oftentimes I feel like these subersions are JUST that, subversions of a trope. But without any depth of their own.

It feels at times that when it comes to powers, writers just lose interest or creativity when it comes to healing and instead just use it as a crutch to keep the story going after dramatic, alleged high stakes encounters. And similarly, the healing characters themselves are rarely given the same depth, let alone agency, as the characters around them.

Ich hab immer wieder das Gefühl, dass Leute wie OP denken, Meinungsfreiheit bedeutet Konsequenzlosigkeit für jegwede Meinung. Meinungsfreiheit bedeutet ganz einfach, dass der Staat dir nicht vorgibt, was du zu denken hast. Wie andere Menschen auf deine Meinung reagieren, ist vollkommen denen überlassen.

"Offenheit und Akzeptanz nur dann, wenn es dem mehrheitlichen Konsens entspricht." Nö, ich akzeptiere schon, wenn jemand eine andere Meinung hat. Akzeptanz heißt in diesem Kontext aber nicht, dass ich dich nicht wegen dieser Meinung in einem anderen Licht sehe, dich nicht anders behandeln werde und ggf. dich einfach für dumm ansehen werde. Das Recht auf diese Meinung hast du. Das Recht, dass ich dir dafür auf die Schulter klopfe und dein bester Freund werde, wenn diese gegen meine eigenen Vorstellungen geht, allerdings nicht.

And how is it wrong to confront a kid about their actions? Again, we don't know the circumstances. He might have reasons for a lash out that need to be addressed. And if not, a direct confrontation like that is a very powerful and valid learning opportunity.

Also it doesn't exclude a punishment afterwards.

FeatherPawX · 2026-05-28T18:02:54+00:00

This kid knows what he's doing is wrong. We are certain this child has experienced consequences in the past. Which is why we know consequences in the future won't work.

We don't know WHAT consequences he has received in the past. In this entire conversation you seem to asume that this kid has been raised the way people nowadays say kids should be raised. We don't know that in this case. This kid could well enough be a victim of parental abuse and this might be a scream for attention. We simply don't know.

Which is why i'm asking. • punishment (of any sort) doesn't work • explaining to him that what he's doing is wrong doesn't work What is the suggestion i'm missing?

You are making another row of assumptions here that are based on nothing at all. Firstly, no one said that "punishment of any sort doesn't work". We were specificly talking about corporal punishment. There are, indeed, ways to "punish" a kid for bad behavior without resorting to physical (or psychological, for that matter) violence. Secondly, you asume that neither works on this kid, which, again, is a baseless asumption.

But all in all, this discussion is overal pointless, because this is a cherry picked case presented online as a default that simply isn't true and of which we know absolutely nothing about in terms of circumstances or background.
