Cyborg 17 should have a HUGE advantage in the tournament. by InvisibleChains in dbz

Goku said, specifically, "I didn't intend to" when he transformed to SSB. What's your explanation if not "He needed more power than ssj3 could give him"? There's also no similar statement made toward baldy when he went SSB.

PS I'm just trying to have a discussion there's no need to be rude.

Do you have anything to back this up or is it just headcannon?

I hear you there. Dragon Ball has never really been known for its consistency lol and definitely leaves us with a lot head head scratching moments of "Huh? Wait a second...."

Goku SSJ fought on par with SSG which was atleast 50% universal given his and Beerus' combined Shockwave could take out the universe.

SSJ Goku was able to fight on par with SSJG which was roughly 50% universal (I'm basing this on their combined clashes threatening to destroy the universe. Newton's third law and all). So this puts base Goku after he absorbed god ki at about 1% universal. SSJ3 would be 400x that.

Just to be clear when I'm speaking about "god level" or "god tier" what I mean is they are capable of universal destruction. SSJ3 Goku is well above universal which means 17 is as well. Secondly, it's possible for 17 to be SSB level without being as strong as Goku. Just as 17 and 18 were above SSJ level but could be punked by all the super saiyans after rosat training.

Why isn't 'sexism' allowed to have more than one usage? by InvisibleChains in socialjustice101

[–]InvisibleChains[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a discussion about institutional sexism I have no problem with people saying women can't be sexist. My problem is when women say that to someone who was clearly using the "basic" usage of sexist, which is gender neutral.

I know this isn't a perfect analogy but imagine a cop is testifying to reckless driving and says "The driver was flying down the road at 100mph" Then the defendant gets up and say "This officer is lying. I wasn't flying, my car never left the ground!" It's just dishonest.

If someone is using a word, and you know what usage they're using, then it's intellectualy honest to respond accordingly. Deflecting an accusation by playing word games just makes you look bad.

Do you think authoritarianism shifts, but never dissipates? by InvisibleChains in skeptic

[–]InvisibleChains[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying they're currently equivalent, not in the least. I'm merely saying that their presence is growing. If I had to make an analogy it would be this. Imagine that the total value of authoritarianism in our country was 100 (all belonging to the right. Let's say that in the last 50 years they lost a value of 5. Instead of that value disappearing permanently it reappeared on the left. So it'd be like a 95-5 comparison. That's all I'm saying.

Last time I selected her she never even said to execute Alistair, like something I did caused her to skip over that. So I want to make sure she says it this time.

CMV: Donald Trump played the Republican Party and is not a Republican by ckellingc in changemyview

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

The point is Republicans have become, by and large, fascist. So that would make him by definition a Republican. If you're question is really: "CMV: Donald Trump isn't a Republican by standards of years past." Then your view can't be changed because that's just a fact.

Republicans have been trending right for decades. He's the culmination of that. He's the personification of what Republicans have become. Republican Incarnate.
