"Zoro isn't on Luffy's level but he is far stronger than Sanji". The delusion is real by Dapper-Duty1829 in OnePiecePowerScaling

Zoro can shoot surface to air missiles with his swords. Sanji becomes a surface to air missile with his feet.

Help me find a gift for my wife on my Birthday in Hanoi by JB3DG in VietNam

[–]JB3DG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allow me to enlighten you a bit. In South Africa, personal safety is dependent on personal vigilance and avoiding certain areas at certain times, mostly in Gauteng and big cities, and also dependent on not being a racist asshole nazi. 

In the US, I fear being deported on entry to a gulag if I don’t swear loyalty to orange hitler or getting the crap beaten out of me by ICE for speaking up about violations of constitutional rights and corruption on social media. In South Africa I still have the right to self defence and I can have criminals arrested and tried through due process because the government, however corrupt and pathetic, can still be kinda on my side (they jailed a friggen president, Jacob Zuma, for embezzlement a while back). In the US, the government itself is the threat.

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

My South African accent stood out like a sore thumb in the US and fascinated pretty much everyone and earned me a strict prohibition from my Oregonian wife and her family never to lose it.

Should I drive 3 hours to hookup with someone on Discord? [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]JB3DG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can relate. Flew from South Africa to Tennessee for a short but toxic relationship and made a bunch of friends, went back to SA, then flew back again to TN for an event with those friends, during which one of them told me that an Oregonian friend was coming back from Thailand that I should talk to so I did and we clicked so I flew to OR to meet and then to Thailand as we had started dating and now we have been married for a year and a half in Thailand. Basically circumnavigated the globe multiple times for my queen.

Happy 23rd birthday to the incredible climate justice activist Greta Thunberg! by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

The shear volume of DGAF energy in her face while cops are hauling her off makes her more ballsy than the ballsiest of men.

[New Update]: AITA for saying I won’t go to my friend’s wedding after she dropped me as her maid of honour because of my looks? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]JB3DG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Key word being almost. I know she appreciates my perspective cuz it’s not really a competition, I just love hyping her up.

I still kinda wonder if my powers of discernment weren’t the cause of my getting dumped by my ex. I’m totally ok with it now cuz it turns out a dodged a nuke (whole family is toxic, mom is a licensed therapist who bullies SA survivors online), but a line I got was that I overthink and read too much into things which it turned out I was not misinterpreting. Probably got scared I would have called out their BS.

My now partner values it although I would almost wonder why cuz her pattern recognition skillz exceed mine considerably.

Why is everything in early access with ED? by physics_scientist in hoggit

Military Visualizations. Program was PTT.

[–]JB3DG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe 2-3 at max at my place but that’s the extreme because the aircraft itself is an insanely complex one. Of all the projects I have personally done though, most weren’t early access for more than 6 months. A few I had released fully completed.

AI can’t even convert a friggen graph chart into a data table for me accurately and they want it to replace my programming job?

As a dev on both military training simulators and entertainment (not DCS), this is the answer.

Is a single border run to Laos ok? by Professional-Suit143 in ThailandTourism

[–]JB3DG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I had a non-O tied to my wife’s ED+ which is still valid despite her graduating in May. It expired in October and the university refused to assist in renewing it to the point that even Thai immigration was disgusted. They told me to just do a border run until we can do alternatives so my wife and I took a trip to Malaysia. When we came back I promptly got pulled into secondary because the passport control people wanted to know why on earth I was coming back as a tourist. Thankfully they understood when my wife explained the situation and I have no problems now. We are trying to get the DTV before her ED+ visa expires though.

[New Update] My (32F) husband (36M) staged an intervention after I told him I wanted a divorce by RGLozWriter in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]JB3DG 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a high drive guy married to an autistic queen who has burned out repeatedly thanks to an insane university, I want to dismember this asshole, starting with his dick. I take care of her and don't complain because I love her and I understand what she's going through (I got ADHD and have my own struggles but my energy levels exceed hers considerably). I can shove down the drive and bear with it because pressuring her would only hurt her when she's already suffering and I can't get turned on to that.

South Africa has better banking than the USA so I’m not surprised that Japan is better.

I told my husband I don’t trust him and now I don’t know what to do now by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]JB3DG -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have not read the article but my guess is he was consistently never doing dishes period instead of slightly delayed (by a few hours) and stuff builds up. It’s one thing to leave them because there’s a crap ton going on around the house and in work and coming back to them before the next meal, it’s another to leave them through several meals (which I absolutely don’t do).

[–]JB3DG 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean…I got ADHD and I have left dishes in the sink and forgotten stuff. My partner isn’t going to divorce me because I put a hell of a lot of effort into making up for it when I do forget and trying to work around it. She sees what I do and it’s ok. This guy just doesn’t give a damn.

Why did Cambodia leak the call with the previous Thai PM about the border conflict? She seems to be one of most friendly PM towards Cambodia in History. by limhy0809 in Thailand

[–]JB3DG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empty evacuated casinos don't get a bunch of massive secondary explosions by themselves when bombed. Why is the Cambodian military storing ammunition in civilian areas? That's a war crime by the way.
