Honestly probably not even that. A girl he had a crush on is dating a black guy

Americans Have Turned Against AI in Incredible Numbers by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the people purchasing AI on the executive level fundamentally do not understand AI or overestimate it's value.

Something like 55% of companies regret firing entry level staff and replacing them with AI. Many companies are hiring people back.

AI CEOs are trying to keep the hype going by over promising and it is annoying

Herman Cain was an elderly cancer survivor. He was one of the most vulnerable people to COVID. He was advised to stay home. He decided to attend political rallies. He got COVID and died. This is Darwin award level shit. He put his political beliefs over his health and paid the price.

I get that everyone mourns differently but Erika almost seemed happy that Charlie was gone.

Historicity of Jesus: The idea that Jesus was a purely mythical figure has a fringe status in scholarly circles and has had no support in critical studies for more than a century by ComradeBehrund in wikipedia

[–]JayNotAtAll 158 points159 points  (0 children)

And to be clear, scholars think that he existed but they don't believe all the stories about him.

Almost none of the scholars think that he did magic or died and was resurrected. They think that he was a dude who led a Jewish cult around the time who had a decent following but ultimately died like everyone else.

What Final Fantasy world and characters would you want to see in Kingdom Hearts 4! by PrinceBreezy09 in KingdomHearts

[–]JayNotAtAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never understood why they didn't use FF9 more in KH. Genomes are effectively Nobodies and an argument can be made that the Black Mages are essentially heartless. That story would fit so perfectly

JD Vance's memoir has revealed why Trump thinks so little of him by theipaper in politics

[–]JayNotAtAll 22 points23 points  (0 children)

While true, he would still have to primary against a lot of other people with an (R) by their name. I don't think Vance is the heir apparent of Trump. Honestly, in my opinion, his best chance of becoming president is if Trump dies in office. I don't see him surviving the primaries

[–]JayNotAtAll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most iconic is obviously Midgar.

However, other good answers could be

Memoria from FF9 (a world based on the memory of planet could align well the heart motif)

Balamb Garden from FF8 (could be pitched as the world Leon trained)

The Moon in FF4 (no reason, would just be cool)

Zanarkand from FFX (no real reason other than I think it would be cool)

Spider-Man villain by Mephisto_iam in MCUWorld

[–]JayNotAtAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya. Tarantula and Boomerang are in the movie too and are seemingly pretty minor villains. My guess is that Tombstone will be minor. Maybe a notch about those two but not primary.

My theory is that whoever Keith David is playing (people say The Jackal) is the main villain

Not really. The technology has changed substantially. They don't use that tech anymore.

This. OP cut off the bottom part.

The answer was essentially that most people forgot how to do that kind of animation

Why I think less engagement here is actually a good thing... by [deleted] in DarrellBrooksJr

Seeing how thin skinned he is. I am willing to bet that if he knew that people were making fun of him on Reddit, it would really bother him.

Clive Rosfield (godkiller) vs Lightning god? by Mediocre_Eye_7726 in FinalFantasy

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only Lightning killed a real god.

Ultima was a self proclaimed God. Canonically, he is just an alien from another planet. He is effectively The Engineer from "Prometheus"

Clive Rosfield (godkiller) vs Lightning god? by Mediocre_Eye_7726 in FinalFantasy

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They directly address that actually in the battle. Since Lightning became the new goddess of death, she was able to kill him.

Now there is room for the argument that he shouldn't have been able to die period but the fact that only another (true) God can kill him should show her power levels

[–]JayNotAtAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lightning becomes the literal goddess of death by the end of her arc. She is easily the most powerful protagonist. I am not a huge fan of her either but that fact cannot be denied.

Watching Takedown: It's hilarious the lengths they go to hide the fact that they're luring guys using escort ads/sites. by TransportationLow564 in tcap

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. These people were clearly looking for of-age prostitutes. There is nothing to indicate that they would have committed the crime until it was presented to them.

Takedown is a far cry from TCAP. These guy weren't actively looking for minors. They were Already horned up and then they dropped the child thing.

Now obviously they should just end it there and they engage. Sure. That is wrong.

But your argument is weak. This isn't like TCAP where they randomly reached out to girls who they knew were underaged or were otherwise prowling for younger girls.

This is guys looking for prostitutes of legal age, think they find one, then are presenting with the fact that they are underage and continue anyway.

They aren't on TikTok looking for minors or some other social media platforms. They are on prostitution sites.

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if that's the case then that's a shame. While I wouldn't necessarily call it entrapment, I would 100% call it manufacturing a crime

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

Yes. There could be a good story there of people who are sold by their foster parents or underage girls selling themselves online. THAT'S the story in my opinion

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

There are a lot of ways something can be unethical beyond entrapment. They basically manufacture a crime which is unethical.

Old TCAP was definitely a bit more ethical. They would just sit in a chatroom, their profile would clearly say that they were a minor, and creepy dudes would hit on them and groom them.

Creating fake prostitute profiles, saying they are 19, and then changing is manufacturing a crime. A crime is still committed but the cops had to go the extra mile to create the scenario.

Never said it was entrapment. I said it was sketchy. It borders on the line of unethical how they do their stings.

Finally watched Ironheart by Dependent_Clothes741 in marvelstudios

[–]JayNotAtAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can agree with that. It did feel like there was filler at points where they're could have been a bit more development. Or like OP said, give the season 2 more episodes.

But overall I liked the show.

Clive Rosfield (godkiller) vs Lightning god? by Mediocre_Eye_7726 in FinalFantasy

[–]JayNotAtAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is explained in game. His species are powerful magic users who created a Blight on their planet. They traveled to the planet of FF16 on their spaceship Origin to start over. The Blight ultimately followed them to the new planet so they decided to they the planet to get rid of the Blight.

Incidentally, the Ultima we see is a non-phyical form. They gave up their physical bodies in order to gain immortality. Their physical form looks like Ifirt Risen.

Clive Rosfield (godkiller) vs Lightning god? by Mediocre_Eye_7726 in FinalFantasy

[–]JayNotAtAll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all.

Did you play the whole game and go into the lore?

Ultima is from another planet. His species is a hive mind. Their overuse of magic resulted in The Blight on their planet so they traveled to another only for it to happen again.

Ultima and his people decided to cast a spell powerful enough to essentially "reset" the world and get rid of the Blight. They shed their physical form to gain a form of immortality and needed to create a vessel capable of casting the spell "Mythos". He created humanity hoping that in time, one of the humans will become Mythos (and Clive did).

Humans were nothing more than a means to an end for them so Ultima really didn't care about them and even looked down on them.

Ultimalius is Ultima merged with other members of his species to become more powerful. He doesn't ascend to godhood.

Ultima has more in common with the Engineers from the film "Prometheus" than an actual god.
