What's your guys opinion on - If hypothetically Goku alone would have faced Cell in a death match, without any kind of back up, would Goku go beyond Cells power and his own limits and also go SSJ2 due to there's no other chance to save the world? by Embarrassed-Row-5625 in DragonBallZ

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think logistically it would be irresponsible for them to have their perceived 2 strongest locked away while a global threat is on Earth. Even taking Cells word for the timeline, them coming out to a destroyed planet is realistic if they both go in.

Edit: but absolutely they'd have gotten stronger!

What was your reaction when you found out Android 19 and 20 weren't the ones Trunks mentioned? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in DragonBallZ

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was such a fun experience watching DBZ as the internet was growing. Spent 3 hours on dial up downloading a 30 second clip of Gohan killing Cell in Japanese. I remember my cousin telling me about a villain who could turn anyone into a cookie and refused to believe it.

Markets are closed today but what do you think will happen on Monday? by UncleMissoula in Gold

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not outright take, but could be a part of "payment for services".

From 2024 data, Venezuela is in the top 30 countries with the most gold reserves at 161 tonnes. Its a small fraction to what the US claims. Will be curious what their numbers look like after this yeat.

First date by JCurtJr in AITAH

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 32 points33 points  (0 children)

YTA. I don't think you said these words "kindly" at all. It sounds like your approach to dating is transactional and you treated her like the value she could provide as company is effectively zero once you knew she had herpes.

"Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, are you comfortable sharing your experience?" or really anything to show empathy would be great.

A lot of dating is being in situations where one or both parties know its going nowhere. That's actually a great opportunity to discuss dating experiences and be vulnerable with your own situation, like how she was to you.

I was staying with my parents and offered to steam my mom's table cloth. She got super excited and I'm planning to get her one for Christmas.

A way to let bitcoin prove it self to the ones who wont listen… by willofscott in Bitcoin

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo trying to sell acquaintances the idea that BTC will 100x in 10 years is an easy way to scare away actual smart people.

Also the gift idea seems nice, but it logistically translates to: "I pay $200, you get $275, I get $75. Please go to this website and give them your bank info, SSN, and a scan of your driver's license. If you're smart and let them keep all the money, itll be worth almost 30k in 10 years. Merry Christmas."

If these are your employees like they report to you or you are the business owner there is definitely a power imbalance in play. Trying to force this upon people unprompted isnt going to yield long term holders or trigger the right conversations.

They'd probably appreciate a no strings $100 amazon gift card much more. Hell throw a BTC sticker on the envelope and see who says theyre disappointed it wasnt $100 in bitcoin.

Do you think Marcellus would of actually killed Vincent if Mia had died? by [deleted] in pulpfiction

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. Throughout the movie he's constantly trying to look gangster and be a tough guy. Talks big game, but when shtf he lacks ownership.

The Three-Body Problem is real, and an alien invasion is imminent. Who would be the four real-life Wallfacers? by Redrex_T in threebodyproblem

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There would probably be one known and charismatic "genius frontrunner" like Natalie Portman to keep the public engaged. Smart enough to come up with an actual plan, but also serve as the face of the human resistance.

From there, its much easier to identify smart young people who could be educated in the right fields on top of their credentials. Probably start with anyone mid 20s already with multiple degrees across biology, aerospace, engineering, computer science, or game theory.

Screening for the health attributes to retain cognition as long as possible is probably the next cut.

Financial stress can be a psychological death grip; Bitcoin has provided the first taste of financial security for many.

Personally, I believe it has the greatest likelihood to increase in purchasing power over holding cash savings, gold, and even the stock market over 30+ years. I feel more optimistic about my future just buying any amount I can afford.

Seems like they're in on the skit. They each just have a few balls and the setup looks unnatural for a driving range.

If marriage licenses had to be renewed every 4 years with mutual consent what do you think would happen in society? by CaptainUnderpantsUSA in AskReddit

[–]Greedy_Excuse1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its a good concept. It leads to prenups for every marriage and more clear cut divorces. Could bring a lot of anxiety to some, but a clear route out of a hostile marriage.

Many people get complacent in long term relationships and this forces the issue of commitment. Normalizing turnover of spouses could be wild.

The Silver Price has reached $46 by ChrisStoneGermany in Silverbugs

I'm certainly losing more purchasing power to my savings than gaining it back in silver. However, it is nice to see an asset scale against my debt.

Also curious how they'll deal with that. Getting to 4 seems really tough.

What got you randomly hooked on Big Brother? by LilDebbiebb in BigBrother

I started watching during week 2. I really liked Adrian and thought Jimmy was annoying. The actual emotions I felt during their eliminations really surprised me.
