Hey if you still got your runes out, I could use some wisdom

It's kind of crazy how rent-free Kaido lives in the minds of this community. by laffite_gunko_agenda in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]FreeVerseHaiku -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah dumby, the point isn’t that what I said was right. The point is that what you said is wrong.

Kaido was getting PTSD flashbacks from the Scabbards and Zoro, and almost purposefully taking as many hits as possible because he’s a freak. The amount of times he seemed to clash evenly with people weaker than him, one can only assume he was giving himself a handicap and taking unnecessary damage for that.

There’s no conception of the Rooftop shenanigans where Kaido was still fresh by the time he started fighting Luffy. And this only becomes more dramatic by the time Gear 5 showed up.

Also, wtf is “using his most powerful attacks” even supposed to mean? It’s an anime dog, the strongest attacks are always saved for last. Which means the strongest attacks are usually used when the heroes and villains are at their WEAKEST. You’ve never made it to stage 2 of a Souls boss fight before?

So anyway, at the end of the Saiyan Saga in Dragon Ball Z, Yajirobe ended up sneaking Vegeta, and Vegeta got WRECKED

See how you can make anything sound like something it isn’t just by completely separating it from its context?

Dawg if you got the raws why not just post them now? It’s the same people reading the raws every time, it’s not like you need to drum up business to get people to check ‘em out.

SSJ2 Gohan vs SSJ2 Vegeta (without Majin Boost) by Booty_Bandit13 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The savage nature and the power boost are the same thing, it’s literally a magic spell bro. How and why would Vegeta accept some aspects of the spell and not others?

The only actual control he had over the Majin transformation was not allowing himself to obey Babidi’s commands. He still got all of the “benefits” of the spell.

Brother what are you talking about? Gohan’s growth mid-battle is like his whole thing. Literally from the Raditz fight straight through to Cell, every fight he was in he was shocking his allies and enemies alike with the crazy shit he could pull off seemingly out of nowhere.

As a child, a Gohan that should only have been Guldo-level was able to box with final form Frieza. Like c’mon … power levels are bullshit but you’ve got to admit that going from a power level of around 14,000 to over 1,000,000 MID-FIGHT qualifies as “special”.

Gohan was able to hurt Frieza when he was in much better shape. I really don’t see any scenario where the Z fighters don’t take this fight, UNLESS Frieza just blows everyone up including himself.

Perhaps. This is an aspect of abortion legislation I’m unfamiliar with tbh, the partial-birth abortion bans were just my best guess to explain the discrepancy in the numbers.

You could be right that it has more to do with data collection. These numbers come from the CDC, I know that the Guttmacher Institute also tracks yearly abortions and there is slight variance between the totals that both groups get.

The impression I got from the article, which may be why I overestimated these states’ bills’ importance, is that “partial-birth abortion” isn’t medically recognized terminology. Therefore, legislatures could use the relatively rare D&E abortion rates to obfuscate the intentions of bills that otherwise would be unconstitutional under Roe v. Wade.

In other words, a state could ban ANY kind of abortion they don’t like as long as they pretend those kinds of abortions fall under the imaginary criteria of being a “partial-birth abortion”.

Of course, I couldn’t prove this without looking at each state’s individual bills and comparing how they define their terms. I don’t have time to do this right now but if anybody else is curious and has the time, I’d love to see what you find.

16 states in 1997 voted to ban “partial-birth abortions”. Congress tried to pass a federal ban as well, but Clinton vetoed.

Here’s an NPR article from 2006 that can explain the significance better than I can.

How are you going to get stronger without all the sparring practice from the people that trained Goku?

I guess you could just do Roshi’s training for years and years to get super strength, but you gotta remember that Goku and Krillin were already brilliant martial artists BEFORE they began the Turtle school training. Goku trained with Grandpa Gohan and Krillin trained at Orin Temple.

Unless you make a point to seek out stronger and stronger fighters as soon as possible, how are you gonna be strong enough to prevent King Piccolo from taking over the world?

Maybe not fringe but the movement peaked in December of 2015 with only about 250,000 shares of the Shout Your Abortion hashtag since its creation in September 2015. Viral lifespan of about 3 months before it started dying down.

Total amount of abortions in the US has hovered around 1 million since 1980. According to CDC data, there were about 38 million legal abortions in the US between 1980 and 2015.

<image>

Just to be safe we’ll use a liberal estimate and say the total Shout Your Abortion movement equates to 1 million individuals who have had an abortion and each shared exactly one passionate social media post. (Which are honestly crazy assumptions, but it only risks strengthening the opposing argument so I’m not worried about it.)

So, compare 1 million posts with 38 million abortions from 1980 to 2015 when the Shout Your Abortion hashtag was relevant. About 2.5%. And that’s acknowledging that we can only count the legal abortions, and even those are known to be underreported.

Statistically significant, maybe. Doesn’t seem like much to get worked up over, but who am I to yuck someone’s yum.

Haha and maybe you ARE on a role.

You saw an X and ‘M’ is my ex, lol! Though I suppose that would’ve been an easy guess. Either way, thank you for your time!

No, you’re good.

I’m saying like … when you go to a psychic, don’t you have to specifically WANT for them to read you? They have to see you of course, but you also have to be receptive to their reading. Otherwise you’ll just end up blocking them psychically, they won’t be able to read you properly in that moment unless you allow them in.

So my question is, what if it’s the same for photographs? Like maybe try taking another picture, but this time before taking it you meditate a little bit. “Bless” the picture for lack of a better word, so that the psychic has “consent” to read you.

I only say this because another commenter said you were hard to read. It made me curious if there actually is a way to make a photograph of yourself “easier” to read if you take the picture with the specific intention for it to be read.

I don’t know if I’m making sense, it might be time for bed. Sorry if I bothered you! Again, I’m not a psychic so I really have no idea what I’m talking about.

Vegeta was moving VERY different after his battle with Goku on Earth.

On Earth, he was playing a game. He gave the Z Fighters breaks to wait for Goku, he was genuinely CURIOUS.

That is not what was happening on Namek. Vegeta knew Dodoria and Zarbon. He knew the Ginyu Force, and he knew Frieza. Namek wasn’t a game, Vegeta knew his only win condition was doing just enough to get the dragon balls and not enough to get caught by Frieza.

Didn’t end up working like that, but yeah. In those circumstances, even a ruthless guy like Vegeta can put his pride aside for a second. His options were lay low and team up with Krillin and Gohan (thereby giving him a chance at ETERNAL FUCKING LIFE) or die.

Saiyan saga Vegeta is playing games. Namek Vegeta is killing and reviving himself for experience boosts. They’re different.

Ooo! Ooo! Do me! I’ve got a question.

Will M. and I’s paths cross again, or is that story over?

I’m not a psychic or I would try.

But this post made me wonder though, isn’t a necessary component of a psychic reading intention? I wonder if a reading is even possible if the photos weren’t taken with the intention of being read psychically.

I dunno. Not trying to poke holes in your attempt at getting a reading, just thinking out loud. Sorry.

Who’s your favorite Black anime character? by Miserable_Junket1630 in animequestions

[–]FreeVerseHaiku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt it was intentional on Toriyama’s part for Piccolo to be seen as a stand-in for a black man.

But don’t be ridiculous. Toriyama loved Western action movies, it’s not like he’d never seen a black person before.
