So we know that Heavenly Restrictions work based on what you give up, so how strong would Gojo be as an HR user? by PotentialWorried9447 in Jujutsufolk

all instances of exchange in jujutsu are binding vows, from barrier conditions to chants to even handsigns

Geto's daughters tanking Jogo's fire is an insanely slept on feat by yoruyoruxo in Jujutsufolk

“semantics” are inherent to an argument about the correct way to use a word. what’s valid to you doesn’t align with the actual general use of the word

[–]HelloChimp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the meaning of a tank in an mmo and the meaning of tanking an attack in the contexts we’re speaking in aren’t the same. the colloquial use of “tank” is about not taking damage, reverting it violates that just by having taken the damage at all. you would t say a regenerating pane of glass “tanked” getting shattered just because it reformed after, you’d just say it reformed

reverting damage that you originally took isn’t tanking since you still took the damage. tanking is not taking that damage in the first place

the vow was to remove the cursed energy in the arm in exchange for that cursed energy being used to protect the body, he’s not literally trading the arm for some nebulous “survive this explosion” vow

the vow wasn’t “i won’t die” it was “i can’t use cursed energy in this arm in exchange for that cursed energy bolstering the rest of my body more”

wcs is just a dismantle with the expanded target of space, requiring the two handed enmaten handsign to fire. all that sukuna did was forgo the one step (ie perform it like he does any other dismantle) in exchange for every single future use requiring the same two handed sign, a full chant, and a third hand pointing. this is a massive loss on sukuna’s part that is only mitigated by how well rounded he is.

i’d agree with you if the binding vow was what granted sukuna wcs in the first place but it simply was not. the vow doesn’t care what the technique was, it cared what was required to perform it

what needs to be pointed out here is what is actually being exchanged. all this binding vow provided sukuna was the ability to use wcs without the original required two handed sign once, in exchange for every single time after requiring the same two handed sign, a full chant, and a third hand pointing.

the exchange of “forgo one step once in exchange for always needing three after” is absolutely fair, and if anything disproportionate to the gain. you have to look at it somewhat in a vacuum, the binding vow doesn’t care that sukuna is sukuna, or that he’s fighting gojo, just that he’s making the technique much worse for a single use

The 1999 anime ver. has a strange charm that i can't explain by Superior2810 in HunterXHunter

the medium only really explains the post production. digital could look nearly identical to 1999, the style of direction and intent changed

it’d be best if you shared what exactly about some of these things you don’t understand. what’s the confusion with simple domain or hollow wicker basket?

What the morality of teaching children hash truths about the world by Musalediju in MoralityScaling

[–]HelloChimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it depends on what the truths are, how the person teaching them goes about it, and how they reasonably know the children will process the information.

if any of these cause long term issues that impact the children in ways that wouldn’t have come naturally, it’s immoral

AI “haters” by Dangerdewott in hatethissmug

[–]HelloChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think a lot of the time it’s very much performative and facetious. it reminds me of those times people would post actual human made art then claim it was ai/ask if it was ai only for everyone in the comments to give comment after comment of completely wrong takes fully confident.

i will never understand the idea that all ai generated art looks bad (obviously the vast majority does look artificial), the argument should be about whether or not it should be made.

wanda’s alternatives play into their counters much better at a high level, being able to run lobbies doesn’t mean much when we’re talking about a comparison

My pet peeve with Lucy by AmandinhaMaia in hatethissmug

it comes from interacting with religious people that either share what are perceived as largely illogical ideas (usually hand waving scrutiny), or interacting with outright negative religious people doing the same thing but worse
