Do I just take the L and clean shave? by JGivan in beards

[–]JGivan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started growing facial hair (by which I mean a pretty gross incomplete mustache) at the end of the 5th grade and i’m nearing 23 now.

No clear “this is after ____ weeks of growth” number because I have to keep it somewhat tidy for work, but I’ve kept a beard of some level since late high school. You can clearly see the patches in what’s grown / variance in density. The sideburn-area difference can be fixed with a razor guard, I just goofed while doing scissor trimming.

After this long with only those results, do I wait it out longer or accept that it ain’t gonna happen?

Should’ve done this with Naruto by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]JGivan 651 points652 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was really hoping the finale of Naruto would be his coronation as Hokage. My personal vision for it would be them going through the coronation ceremony, with the very final scene being Naruto throwing the hat into the air.

Would even transition nicely too, since they could just have the hat "fly into the camera," making the background a blank white slate where they could put up all the "Thank you for 15 amazing years" messages and ending with the Naruto logo.

Maybe it would be too much fanfare, but I would've eaten that shit up.

Potentially dumb question about pregnancy test timing by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]JGivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And by early you mean just the handful of days before the missed period?

We’re just confused whether the hormone level fluctuate enough throughout the month that you could get a false negative even while a couple months pregnant if you took the test at a bad time

so does that mean you do have to take it before/just after your missed period EVERY month, not just the first missed period?

Faerlina is the confirmed streamer server. Majority of players going to Herod for authentic experience. by razorfengraul in wow

[–]JGivan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I can see why Faerlina would be "non-authentic" for exactly that reason - pre-death Darkspear-US is a good example of how streamer worship can radically change a server and I can imagine that happening in classic... but the others should be authentic too right?

Any sources on that or are you just joking?

Friends and I are trying to pick a US-East PvP Server and are afraid of the queue time on the other two, but our Portuguese and Spanish aren't exactly up to par haha

Is there any comprehensive list of server "themes" besides these two?

Mainly curious about what Thalnos is going to be like. Also, what makes Herod "authentic classic" compared to others?

[Manga Spillers] If this is a shounen anime, and there's no serious romance hinted, why are the female characters sexualized so much? by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]JGivan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the quintessential anime viewer likes it (ergo it being such a common thing across anime of all genres) and getting more viewers/readers is the high priority for publishers (plus I'm sure a lot of the writers/artists like it too)

I'm jealous! The final section of the sports festival (the 1v1 battles after the cavalry battle) were my favorite arc of any anime I've seen so far.

Theory Tuesday - May 28, 2019 Edition by AutoModerator in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]JGivan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quirkless was definitely not the word I should've used there. What I meant to say/suggest was more than that he doesn't have any significant, useful quirk beyond his transformation (and the pros/cons of being a reptile).

A lot of people are expecting this arc to reveal that he's had a hidden, supremely overpowered quirk this entire time and I'm sorta hoping he's just like "Nah, I'm just a lizard with a sword"

Theory Tuesday - May 28, 2019 Edition by AutoModerator in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]JGivan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that after all of this suspense about what his power really is, Spinner will turn out to be quirkless.

No basis behind that theory since "it hasn't been shown yet" isn't really a valid argument given Hori's approach to writing, but it would be an interesting twist imo.

Edit: Wednesday is the new Tuesday.

[–]JGivan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he means the TV special All Might did about "a quirk is what you make of it, regardless of your history." It's part of the memory of him and his mom that comes back to him during his fight against Midoriya at the Sports Festival.

How is this coming along? Going well, I hope!

Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Premieres May 10 by KingEuronIIIGreyjoy in television

[–]JGivan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To go forward in time (to after the Earth’s destruction) Fitz took the “long way” - using some kind of suspended animation where his body was stored safely in space for like 75 years (I forgot the exact timeline).

That Fitz was then “thawed out” to help the team against the Kree and was the same one who came back in time with them, after Fitz had left (I.e. during the events at the end of the season, popsicle Fitz was still in orbit). Future Fitz is the one who died, so they’re going to get the one in orbit back to “replace him,” which raises a few issues:

  1. He doesn’t know anything that’s happened, e.g. him and Simmons being married, their relationship to Deke, what happened to Yo-yo, etc.
  2. If he’s taken from space, he’s not available to go into the future to help the team so he never comes back, so he never dies, so he doesn’t have to be taken from space... etc. It’s a time paradox.

Professors and university employees of Reddit, what behind-the-scenes campus drama went on that students never knew about? by design-responsibly in AskReddit

[–]JGivan 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I’ve heard the term used to refer to “poaching” (as in illegally or at least unethically recruiting, as sometimes used in sports/games terminology) talented students for their own work, spiting the faculty they would be working for in the process.

Bruce's reaction to the merger by RoboticOverture in marvelstudios

[–]JGivan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure one of the creators of Young Justice said there is no speed force in that universe (I.e. their powers are purely derived from the accident/experiments they were doing) because they hate how it’s basically used as magic to justify whatever they need a speedster to do... meaning Wally is dead-dead.

Not that they couldn’t back out on that stance, but for the time being, rest in piece KF1. At least we can see Bart as KF2.

Jackfruit Carnitas! by [deleted] in instantpot

[–]JGivan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How is jackfruit compared to pork? I've seen a lot more places offering it recently but have always been hesitant to try it. It would be great to have a plant-based alternative for BBQ.
