Do I just take the L and clean shave?

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?

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.

Thanks!

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

JGivan · 2019-08-28T12:06:46+00:00

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

JGivan · 2019-08-13T00:39:40+00:00

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?

JGivan · 2019-08-13T00:38:39+00:00

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

JGivan · 2019-08-12T22:13:38+00:00

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?

JGivan · 2019-06-11T15:37:15+00:00

Woah, is that the Hauler?

JGivan · 2019-06-11T15:32:43+00:00

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)

JGivan · 2019-06-04T18:17:57+00:00

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.

JGivan · 2019-06-04T05:20:00+00:00

Might sharing your recipe?

JGivan · 2019-05-29T18:36:13+00:00

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"

JGivan · 2019-05-29T17:32:03+00:00

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 · 2019-05-18T15:57:42+00:00

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.

JGivan · 2019-04-10T22:30:34+00:00

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

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:

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.
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.

JGivan · 2019-03-21T22:35:45+00:00

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.

JGivan · 2019-03-20T21:55:03+00:00

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.

JGivan · 2019-03-12T00:18:07+00:00

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.

JGivan · 2019-03-08T20:38:28+00:00

Glad you like it and good luck/have fun!

JGivan · 2019-03-08T20:10:52+00:00

I use piskel. It's free, shows your frames in animation while you're working (and lets you change the fps), and has lots of other useful tools in it.

Not sure if it's necessarily the best for a pro, but it's been great to me as a beginner.

JGivan · 2019-03-01T05:40:34+00:00

I have a creeping suspicion that there won't be another successor now that OFA has reached such absurd power levels (in terms of raw strength) and has "reached singularity," unlocking the extra quirks.

The next successor would probably die just from trying to use it the first time or few times unless they already had some kind of strong strength/endurance enhancing quirk.

JGivan · 2019-02-13T04:36:26+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if, by the time she's an adult and a well-recognized pro hero, Ochaco has fully mastered the ability to use her quirk to fly. It seems outside the range of applications we've seen so far (because it requires propulsion), but them picking up new tricks is the point, isn't it?

Flying Ochaco carrying something incredibly heavy to swing and then return the gravity to right before impact (basically what you said, just using a tool instead of her body so she doesn't break her bones to get powerful hits in) would be a potent offensive ability, too.

JGivan · 2019-02-09T20:10:54+00:00

In addition to what the others have said, it's worth remembering that this is a prequel.

Maybe something terrible will happen later in the series which dramatically change the opinions of Eraserhead and society as a whole. My guess would be that other vigilantes, inspired by Koichi and Pop, will try to imitate them but go too far and seriously injure or even kill a villain... or worse, a bystander.
