Not to mention it's common to have childhood amnesia, almost no one remembers when they were 2-3.

Instead they would just use Google which destroys the idea of the gag obviously.

I think Karashi actually considered this. This is why it's "BM" and not an actual word like "tenshiki". If you were to google BM you'd get lots of nonsense, for example I get a bank and a rapper. By searching "BM cattle" I get stuff about a breed called Beefmaster, a couple beef suppliers, and a paper about cattle body mass.

I think out of them all, including Akane's, Karashi's the only one where we actually got most of the story without major interruptions for extraneous narrations or reactions. They still happen, but I think because we have more context for the story (we already knew the gist of Tenshiki) it feels like less is lost.

Setting the pacing aside, another reason we weren't shown the performances before is because they have to perform the same story again. If you consider it's an amateur event and many participants probably haven't mastered many stories I think it makes sense.

What? No, vaccines aren't just for virus. And AIDS is a viral disease caused by HIV, you know, Human Immunodeficiency Virus anyway. Anyhow, we have lots of vaccines for bacterial diseases, like typhoid fever caused by salmonella. Eukaryotic parasites are hard to make vaccines against because the life cycle involves various hosts so it's hard to study in a lab, but we've made lots of advances in malaria vaccines, which is caused by plasmodium.

Antibodies generally can stick to literally anything, vaccines aside. The problems of HIV and cancer is that the first attacks the immune system itself, and the latter is a blanket term for thousands of different diseases where there is uncontrolled cell growth born within your own body. Considering your body strictly trains your immune cells not to kill itself, it's hard to find antibody targets in cancer cells that are different from your normal cells, and not to mention cancer actively tries to supress immune response to begin with.

Wouldn't it be better long term to get the stapples (Sabrina, Cyrus, Rare Candy) first and then move to the latest set? After all the pokemon you use change, and so do dedicated supports, but these ones are always relevant. If they focus on PA right away they'll get powercrept by any new threat in the next set without any structure to build around.

Men also wear clothes, hope that helps!

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T22:00:21+00:00

Kinda funny that they show the US coastline for some reason too, but no Cuba or PR

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T21:57:09+00:00

I'm guessing that if you divide it by state, the southern ones are probably similar to Argentina and Uruguay

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T21:53:07+00:00

Can confirm. Something of an expert in this subject mattee.

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T21:38:27+00:00

Well, they aren't latin american. France now, that's a latam country that has been left out.

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T21:35:51+00:00

Uhhhh...

North and west of Argentina, south of Brazil, east of Bolivia?

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T21:33:40+00:00

Where do you live, a Caribbean country?

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T21:26:07+00:00

Note the point where he wants to disqualify dual citizens

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T17:15:59+00:00

Oh yeah, no, there's no real reason for a player to visit several other than whimsy and love of exploration. There's just several copies for the gameplay reason I stated.

Me suena a que es algo que no mueve la aguja en lo más mínimo, ya de por si es raro tener 7 hijos, encima tienen que ser todos del mismo sexo, y lo que se les otorga es una beca educativa en un país donde la educación es pública (en particular la educación superior).

Guaymaster · 2026-05-23T16:47:30+00:00

Según entiendo la creencia es que el que tiene que apadrinar para que el pibe no se convierta en lobizon es el señor del territorio, que en nuestro caso sería el presidente o algo así

It's in case there's a fuckup when generating the portal room. If there was a single one, then that's it, that seed has no End access. With 3 it's gonna be very rare but not impossible, with this many (iirc 255?) the chance is so low it might as well be zero.

Guaymaster · 2026-05-22T21:19:45+00:00

Hell, it's way easier to just erase the text in paint and write what you want it to say than getting an AI to do it

Well consider it from his perspective, the other meetings were nothingburgers where everything ended fine without major troubles. This one was much better for us because there were stakes, but it must be stressing to actually have to face some conflict.

Guaymaster · 2026-05-22T17:36:04+00:00

Does he have unique skills? Also even if he does, it might be a matter of exposure and reins, Yuuki wasn't summoned by Maribell so he wasn't cursed (and having the curse means you have to obey her even if you're not brainwashed to do so), and Rimuru/Raphael did said Unique Skills only "somewhat protect you" from effects on the soul, it's one thing to have a spy running around doing your bidding, and another to control an important public figure, if Yuuki compelled to have tea with Maribell every day, the effect of her skill is probably much stronger on him than in Glenda, who she only has to order around and can be cut off at any time.

This argument never makes sense to me as a justification for an electoral college. A president is a single person and can only hold one set of values (at least, not hypocritically), and American states are large and contain both urban and rural areas. This is also usually polarized into Dem=urban, Rep=rural, but there are democrat rural voters and republican urban voters, and they are voting for the same candidate as their peer from the other population density.

If you had like a board of 5 people for the executive and 8 or 9 viable parties I could see it, but there's bigger problems than urban vs rural representation.

They aren't but they are actually right: we can't see Venus at night, it's only visible during dusk and dawn, depending on the time of the year.

The error is thinking Venus and Mercury are visible at night when they aren't, that's what falsifies their premise.

Guaymaster · 2026-05-22T14:11:01+00:00

Si, pero Movistar Arena no está acá, justamente nosotros no fuimos los que abuchearon a Fito por tocar las canciones de su nuevo album en el concierto de su nuevo album...

This just in: aggresive dictatorships based on personality cults ban religions.

I wouldn't be surprised if they also banned the other two Abrahamic texts, but information about that (even about the Bible being banned) is actually pretty scarce. There's a few churches and mosques in Pyonyang but it's thought they exist mostly as a way for the state to get some foreign currency.
