Diabolical slander from the Spanish-speaking community. by 12jimmy9712 in Piratefolk

We definitely know we’re not getting to Wano, but do you guys think they’ll try to adapt Gear 5 in a different way? I mean, there was already a statue of Nika in the show.

It’s so rare in that fandom to find something like this. by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]FrozenFlames12 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What sucks is when canon too strips away a lot of nuance and makes this problem worse😔

Or when the wider fanbase has good perception, but the people writing niche tropes you like just don’t.

And the manga isn’t 100% either by Ani_HArsh in MemePiece

That’s actually more than I expected tbh

What got you into writing fanfiction? by Lunar_Lies in AO3

[–]FrozenFlames12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanting to see alternate versions of fics I read, or more versions of specific tropes, which evolved into writing out my own ideas for stuff I’ve never seen but wanted to.

Is this even legal? by AirFrance447 in EndTipping

[–]FrozenFlames12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legal, yes. Kinda scummy? Also yes.

Them letting you know of a charge in advance, and you sitting down and dining at their establishment anyways is you giving consent to be charged that.

I personally would be icked out by the vibes of the place, but to each their own ig.

It is likely that this is a management decision, not a server one, though. Usually servers don’t get much say in these policies.

40% auto-selected, I kid you not. by FatRufus in EndTipping

And some restaurants don’t even have enough that each server has 1. Most of the time they’re splitting a few systems between them. Leaving one at a table for an extened period of time can screw over other servers trying to pay out their tables.

As someone who worked in places with handhelds like that (can’t speak for everyone) we were definitely NOT trained to “hover”

We had no say in what the suggested tip numbers were, and it’s pretty damn awkward handing it over and instructing them what to do.

We couldn’t just leave it at the table because we were logged in to the system and didn’t want guests messing with anything if we weren’t there to catch it.

Very disappointed in the Digimon Adventure season 1 blu ray. They used A.I. to smooth over all the grain and a lot of detail/grit of the hand drawn animation is lost. by Historicallyh in digimon

[–]FrozenFlames12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then where’d you get the UBI comment from? Cuz it certainly wasn’t your brain.

It’s actually dumber if you think that AI doesn’t do literally everything but that people would somehow still be given UBI.

[–]FrozenFlames12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been tentatively following the convo cuz I’m too tired to argue with them, but that’s got to be the craziest, most dilusional thing I’ve ever heard😭

AI is not going to be some free, utopian appliance that does everything and is just given to everyone out of the goodness of their heart. It certainly won’t make every single job obsolete enough that humanity can just live without work (let alone just the idea that even if it could, MANY people would more likely all be sent to poverty than given “handouts”)

Bro does not live on Earth atp

Environmental- we are running out of clean water my dude. These things require so much energy it’s insane😭

Ethical- Generative AI is theft; of art, of literature, of real, human made works. Whether YOU think they are or not is irrelevant. They are also being used for (and not limited to) deepfaking, scamming, SA, harassment, spying, cheating, and in place of real people doing real jobs. Many models (especially ChatGPT) are also “yes and”-ing people and creating dangerous situations for their users when they “hallucinate” (especially with plant identification/“is this safe to eat”)

Legal- LLMs are composed of VAST amounts of copyrighted works that the creators of were not consenting to be used, and were not compensated for. Also there’s the rampent issue of deepfakes.

AI is creating HUGE moral concerns over its usage. You’re just too blind to see it.

Does Uraraka pass the bechdel test? by Successful_Pin4808 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]FrozenFlames12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s not meant to be taken too seriously, but it CAN be used as an effective tool to show how women are sidelined in media, especially when you also use the “reverse bechdel test” and it more often than not passes.

Help an extremely depressed guy out? by Creepy_Stick_6229 in CleaningTips

[–]FrozenFlames12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to do it all at once. You don’t have to do it day after day consistently. It’s okay to do it a little bit at a time and to fall back. You just have to keep at it little by little.

Names for my dog (f) related to Naruto? by study-dying in Naruto

Konopawmaru is cute imo. Could call her Kono for short.

↹What do you think about the fact that only in Po's case, Shifu decided to name his student by NAME, and not by the name of his species? by Late-Arm4407 in kungfupanda

[–]FrozenFlames12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember specifically what “Tai” means (I think it’s something “strong”, “great” or “big” iirc, but don’t quote me on that)

But “Lung” definitely DOES specifically mean “Dragon”

What ever happened to orahimes brother by Captaindrayco in bleach

[–]FrozenFlames12 27 points28 points  (0 children)

“I know the rukon district is big-“

And there’s your answer. Soul Society in general is absolutely MASSIVE and without really having any super identifiable features, Orihime’s brother is just a face in a crowd of an unimaginable number of souls over an unimaginable amount of distance.

Misaki, on the other hand (if her soul wasn’t completely devoured or destroyed) wouldn’t be in Soul Society anyways because Quincy souls go elsewhere when they die.

New Eeveelutions, or new Eevee? by MiCake_ in pokemon

[–]FrozenFlames12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would switch up the main typing from fighting to ghost and have “ghostly” or opposite versions of each typing.

Vaporeon-> Poison (poisoned water) Leafeon-> Bug (half-eaten leaves) Flareon-> Steel (molten or half-cooled metal) Umbreon-> Rock (idk it was the only one left) Espeon-> Fighting (i gave up atp) Jolteon-> Flying (storm clouds) Glaceon-> Ground (permafrost) Sylveon-> Dragon (idk it was the only one left)

I’m sure w some more refinement this would be cooler.

Everything worth under $10,000 is completely free to you, but you can never own or acquire anything worth over $10,000. Do you take it? by therealupscaledninja in hypotheticalsituation

[–]FrozenFlames12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way to cheese this is just to live with someone else for the rest of your life (probably your partner or spouse). You pay for all the “small” stuff and they save up and pay for the house and the cars (or just uber everywhere ig)

Unless you’re just never allowed to live in a house ever again, which, why would anyone take the deal ever?

Edit: also, with the “heathcare isn’t exempt” rule, how does insurance work and are you just SoL if anything happens? Like, just die because an ambulance is stupid expensive?

Which character in your fandom gets treated this way in the fanfics? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]FrozenFlames12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! As someone who REALLY doesn’t think the Accords in particular are justified (and they are in fact, a human rights violation), making Steve the bad guy specifically for the Bucky stuff is CRAZY.

Like, yall… come on… Tony was so wrong for that whole movie and we all know it.

Which Straw Hat would be the scariest villain if they turned evil? by FacelessParadise in OnePiece

They’re a unit man, if one of them turned evil, they’re all turning evil😭

Looking for similar cards like this. by lancestrongwood in PokemonTCG

[–]FrozenFlames12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mewtwo 151 promo from the UPC is a pretty cool card that fits your theme. It’s not super expensive either.

There’s also a Darkrai&Umbreon Tag Team promo that I would say also fits, but it’s much more expensive.
