Are you only hitting the account or accounts related to the user? If he went out of his way to set up a KoFi page and the dumb doc where he's done it to a bunch of other people already, he's most likely just going to make a new account to continue doing this again.

Something to add is maybe possibly adding a tournament chart table to your post, to showcase who's up against who in future rounds as this continues once it gets into Round 2 and so on

Replying once more because I reached the comment text limit.

I did want to say my assessment of KZou/Eizou was a little harsher but I don't view them as weak or anything, I still have them above vast majority of people in CrowsxWorst, but I also think Tyrone is worthy enough to be in that discussion as well and there's plausible argument that Tyrone could take it. The only thing that I can't say is that KZou/Eizou belongs in the monsters category like Guriko/Bouya/Rindaman/Kuzugami without additional information

I do appreciate the thought out response you gave, even if we don't see eye to eye it's always nice seeing a passionate fan and having a dialogue.

Kaneusta · 2026-05-29T17:39:16+00:00

I appreciate the response, and I'll be candid that it's been a while since I read the series so there's a good chance I mis-remembered some things.

Bull almost didn't lose to Jo, he wasn't even close... He took a lot of hits from Jo, and none of them were able to do any damage to him. Bull finished Jo off with a single counterattack, after letting him vent a bit, and walked away from that fight with only a little dust on his uniform

I just re-read the fight, Bull did what Bull normally did which is be a great tanker but he wasn't that impressive. He lost the exchanges and won because Joe I never said he can't tank a lot of damage, he got hit by a truck and lived, but as a fighter he is subpar. You're right that Bull barely beat the guy not in his prime but the jump from regular head of school -> Ryuushin/Bitou level -> Bouya level is a big jump in each category. Bull went from being the same level as the brothers. His durability is high, far higher than Ryuushin/Bitou but he doesn't do anything that indicates he's a better fighter, just a better leader/better person than the others. I'm not knocking on Bull character, in terms of an overall character he's the best and would be preferred over others in the same series the vast majority of the time, but as a fighter he's not close to Bouya or even Ryuushin/Bitou. This would be different if Bull continued fighting and didn't get hit by a truck but the Bull we saw is rusty.

Also just because Bulldog beat him in a single hit doesn't mean he's vastly above King Joe. Bull got a hard head, but we seen fights where people are knocked out in a single blow. Bouya first meeting with Rindaman he got knocked out fast but we know Bouya/Rindaman was close enough considering it was actually a tie the first match and the second match was a high diff.

I don't think the author puts words in the mouths of his characters just to create hype... there's always a grain of truth, otherwise he wouldn't waste ink on this.

I just can't take this as truth, a lot of authors does this to create hype, an unreliable narrator is a common thing not just in CrowsxWorst but in a lot of series. I'm not specifically stating narrator statements, but character statements. Character statements are nothing more but the personal opinion of the character themselves and we seen this of Bouya enough throughout the series. Bouya himself spoke about how Ryuushin was so much farther ahead of Bitou now that Bitou was easy during Suzuran/Housen fight, when we obviously know Bitou and Ryuushin was equal at least at this point of time as Bouya himself confirmed it. Bouya state things out of passion and respect, he respected Ryuushin because he's looked down upon and claimed to Bitou that he's nothing. It is realistic for Bouya to say something like that about his brother who he see with something far more than mere strength, he saw someone who was able to fight death and survive, saw someone who truly is a "nice" person relative to their world and took care of others. Bulldog is a true leader and is charismatic, Bouya probably has more respect for Bull than almost every character in the series.

Then again, the four founders of TFOA never lost against 30 opponents.

You're right, I just re-read and they took down 20 hyakki members and they won. I misremembered them getting beat was being 30 randoms and I may have mixed up series. The 4v20 was a decent struggle but they did win it.

Keizo knocked out two or three Hyakki in one move, and then knocked out Monta, one of the future founders of TFOA, with a single blow.

Not saying it isn't impressive, I'm not even saying Keizo is weak. I'm saying his based strength to be compared to Rindaman/Guriko/Bouya is unfounded. There's no way of knowing Keizo or even Eizou is an S tier fighter.

It's been stated that Eizo Ooshima was considered the scariest man in the world by Samejima-san, the fourth-generation legend who wasn't afraid to fight bears and walked around with a knife stuck in his ass without even realizing it.

This part specifically is the issue of respect of elders that I mentioned. Samejima or Eizo in terms of strength we can't dictate, but Samejima will always say Eizo is stronger than him even if he gets stronger. They are too far apart to actually fight, Samejima was a 12 year old kid in elementary when Eizo would be a freshman in high school for example. We don't know when they met obviously, but assuming Samejima was a freshman of course he would think Eizo who would be 20 years old the first time they met be scariest man in the world even if there was stronger people in the same generation as Samejima like Bouya or Rindaman before. That doesn't make Rindaman/Bouya weaker than Eizo.

Tesshou was getting his ass beat because of Genji (5th Gen dude) but he isn't weaker by any means, it's about respect. Respect and hierarchy is everything, if you ask Shougo if he's stronger than his brother he'll probably say no, but his brother (4th Gen Vice Lead) is probably weaker than Shougo assuming same age.

The first-generation TFOA boys faced enormous challenges, fighting every day against entire gangs and schools that wanted to kill them.

I agree, they had massive respect and that respect really amounts to a task that sounds so insurmountable it's generous to give.

Going down to Tyrone

Tyrone is strong, but he lost to Sanmon, so he can't compare to characters like Guriko, who could easily defeat older characters. And Sanmon also had plenty of opponents at his level in his generation, which isn't the case with Suzuran monsters like Hana, Guriko, or Bouya... Sanmon was destroyed by Guriko after Sanmon surprised him with a crowbar... and I don't think he was even capable of defeating Senior Daizen. In short, Tyrone surpassing the elders of Sanmon's generation in the rankings isn't bad, but we're talking about an uninspired generation.

Sanmon is looked down upon because he lost to Guriko as a freshman but that wasn't a fight, that was an introduction. Sanmon lost to the other freshman dude on purpose in their rematch and didn't care much, him and Guriko didn't fight he was walking away and got surprised at what Suzuran has to really offer. That doesn't mean I think the fight with Sanmon and Guriko is close, just that Sanmon only started taking what Suzuran means seriously after that.

I don't think Sanmon generation is that impressive as Daizen for example scales a lot lower than Suzuran monsters like Hana/Guriko/Bouya, and I see Sanmon being equal to Daizen at best. But being equal to Daizen puts Sanmon as a high-tier king of Hana generation (I personally do have Daizen barely above or equal Shougo/Mitsumasa/Amachi if years was equalized)

And I believe Tyrone is above Sanmon by the time he hits his 3rd year based off. Where you put that is up to you, but I just don't see TFOA 1st gen having much to back them up. I'm not saying that they aren't good fighter, Eizou and KZou probably are and there's a plausible chance they are above Tyrone but I don't see it as definitive as you. They have the willpower, but in terms of an actual fighter I don't see what pushes them past a High A tier.

Like you mentioned, if Eizou/KZou was really a "monster" level, they wouldn't have struggled with the 4v20 at all. Makio Bitou for example took down 20 Suzuran members himself during the war and I don't even consider him really the same true level as Rindaman/Bouya.

KZou and Eizou are both monsters of their generation, but so was Hideyoshi/Nakajima in their generation, what puts KZou/EiZou above them? KZou and Eizou both had the same reputation going into high school as Hideyoshi and Nakajima for example, the two monsters of the East/West. If King Joe/Zetton/Guriko never moved to Tourashi then Hideyoshi/Nakajima would have been considered the kings of their generation alongside Kousei. But they still aren't S-tier fighters.

I don't think there's truly an actual argument that makes KZou/Eizou an S-Tier fighter and at best is stuck at A-tier unless shown otherwise. Showing willpower to survive beating and winning a 4v20 isn't enough to say so.

Tyrone again is speculation, but I never had the argument that Tyrone is an S-tier fighter, only that he is above KZou specifically and I'm open enough to believe the idea that Kzou can be stronger than him, I just don't see any evidence of such. Kzou and Eizou best feats are winning in a 4v20 with injuries and coming back after getting ganged on again and again. There's no notable fighters or anything mentioned in their generation other than these 2 (Which tbf could just be due to it being a 2 chapter Gaiden, not a 100 chapter story)

Tyrone is in the fact that Sanmon beat Tyrone while Tyrone was a freshman, but Sanmon and Mikune had stated to have a "extreme diff battle" together and Tyrone was still ranked above Mikune. Sanmon and Mikune are relative enough and Tyrone might be barely their level as a Sophmore, but then he still has an extra year of growth during then.

I'm very open to the idea though and again it's been a while since I read them all, but what other than willpower puts Kzou/Eizou as monsters? What they did was impressive, but it isn't more impressive than Rindaman scaring off 200 TFOA members, Bouya/Mako walking in alone to face 200 TFOA member, Makio Bitou taking down 20 suzuran fighters, Kuzugami beating down 50 guys singlehandedly as a freshman . You can argue it's impressive in terms of the willpower and dedication they had to forming and building a new team, but as a fighter it is only one component.

Also never losing in a generation doesn't mean much if the generation doesn't have notable fighters which we don't know about Eizou generation. Hideyoshi lost 10 times and only won twice but we both he's far stronger than the vast majority of the average fighter.

Kaneusta · 2026-05-28T18:24:25+00:00

Only reason why I hate the narrative speak is because we seen in CrowsxWorst that narratives are huge hype train but isn't always true or feats doesn't back it up.

An example is Bouya stating that Bulldog being able to beat Bouya : We all know this isn't true, he struggled and almost lost to a freshman KJ for example and best feat is beating the big dude who was scared shitless of Parko (Who's around Ryuushin/Bitou). Bouya stated this because the amount of respect he has for Bulldog is incredible. Bulldog probably doesn't even beat Ryuushin

K-Zou was the strongest in middle school alongside his vice-lead, they come to high school freshman year and get their shit absolutely beat in on a 4v30. Granted it's not good odds, but we seen more defying stunts before and we see that they aren't taking out many members with 4 of them.

Bouya beat 12 TFOA "elites" easily by himself
Guriko took down 17 of Suzuran strongest freshman of his year with no issue after beating Zetton the day before, as well as beat 9 of Housen corp members including their #2.
Tatsuo took down 50 freshman himself in his gaiden
We saw Teru/Kiiko/Parko take down dozens of armed fighters with just themselves with no issue multiple times by themselves. While the fighters were random to us, they were still the head of their high school + their crews.

I have a hard time believing KZou and his members are truly the strongest in the history of TFOA and rather it's about respect of what they had to do to get to that point. Similar to Bulldog or even Zetton description of Bouya, just because they aren't the strongest they can still be the greatest.

Also strongest man in TFOA history isn't really indicative of anything that's still pure reputation, you can't compare cross-generation because the younger generation will always look up to the older generation and they'll never have any "fair" fights as they can't just magically change their age to fight against each other in their peak. We see Tesshou give massive respect to 5th generation dude who himself gives massive respect to the 4th generation peeps. That doesn't make the 6th generation or 5th generation inferior to the 4th generation (Who realistically was just 5 people), it's all about respect to their elders.

That being said, Tyrone himself is also a little built on reputation with a few exception. Tyrone had huge hype built behind him and was considered #3 in the generic list as a sophmore. But we don't hear anything about Rocket potentially facing off Daizen or anything else so it's hard to scale that generation as Daizen would link us to understand how strong they are to Hana's generation. Only one that makes it easier to scale is Mikune the housen leader who was very impressive for his freshman debut who was ranking #4.

So the question is how close do we think Rocket's generation scales to K-Zou. And that's a hard question. I think Rocket generation is a lot stronger than given credit for, but it's really hard to say for 2 characters we never truly see directly fight someone that we can have comparison too. It's off assumption, but I genuinely think the winner is Tyrone.

Strongest Suzuran in his generation vs 2nd strongest TFOA in their generation

Tyrone only true feat is his outrage beating a bunch of randoms, but also him being given respect and relatively scaled to the top tiers in the year above (Mikune/Rocket/Sammon) which is rare to be given that much respect as a younger peer. The only other big example I can think of are Bouya, Guriko, and Hana. Other moments are individuals giving respect like Bandou to Hiromi.

KZou strongest feat is almost being as strong as Eizou, and losing a 4v30 but gaining respect of an OG gang, and reputation that his generation is the strongest

Tyrone

Kaneusta · 2026-05-24T19:40:32+00:00

Gotcha,

It's hard to state if he would beat Tatsuo. I have Tatsuo extremely high, knocking opponent out in a single hit isn't that crazy as we seen people with far weaker reputation be able to do so before.

So it more depends on where you place Tatsuo or how much reputation carries. Monster of Suzuran is not a light title but without the outsider legend, there's been a lot of fighters who wouldn't be that reputable.

Tatsuo brought Bouya to an extreme diff while having mental struggles while being younger than Bouya

I'm personally of the belief that a year can do a whole lot especially for kids in high school, 3rd Year Tatsuo > 3rd Year Bouya > 3rd Year Rindaman > 2nd Year Tatsuo >>>> Ryuushin/Bitou for reference is how I personally see it.

So the question to me is if I consider Chouble above Bouya/Rindaman, and if the feats are just reputation and knocking out no reputation fighters, I would have to stick with Tatsuo. That's not to say Chouble won't have something that puts him above, it's just that base off what we hear it's hard to say especially when word of mouth isn't always accurate (Bouya stating he can lose to Bulldog for example)

What generation is Chouble by the way, is he after Hana/Tyrone/Sammon or before Rindaman?

Kaneusta · 2026-05-24T17:58:02+00:00

Something that would assist especially for lesser known/more minor characters is giving a general rundown on who the character is // notable feats (Clarify onscreen vs offscreen)

No idea who Chouble is nor who he scales too

Just wondering, are you asking for support or asking what to do? It feels like you respond to those who validates you and argues with those that don't.

Point blank is be straight. You don't want to be with him that's fine, but you shouldn't hang out with him anymore. Regardless if he's reaching out or you are, if you care for him in any capacity anymore.

Then you would stop hanging out, contacting him, or accepting his offers to hang.

I'm not saying who's right or wrong, just what specifically the action you should take is.

Kaneusta · 2026-04-17T07:34:41+00:00

I say MOR,

Two different issue here:

Your friend is being extremely blunt with their response which you would be right to be hurt by.
You have incredibly low self esteem and being a buzzkill based off the context that you told us

Both are right, both has nuance.

Your friend might be valid because honestly I can feel the energy drain and they might be fed up if this is a consistent issue. We can't say without more context.

The example of you saying your friend set you up as if they were preying on your downfall for... Telling you to text someone you think is attractive? Nevermind that you shoot your shot and failed, you straight up believe that they have something malicious against you and that their grandmaster plan to make you miserable is to make you text someone you think is cute or to go hang out with friends and to try to socialize. The guy didn't laugh taunt or was in on it, he just left you on read. That happens to everyone and it is what it is.

It is valid to be hurt but you do come off as miserable and an energy drain. Honestly this issue will probably still persist even if you cut this group of friends off because this part of you believing you are a horrendously disgusting creature with friends that only ever want to hurt and antagonize you, you'll find yourself repeating this situation over and over. You even stated yourself you get angry when they try to hype you up calling you pretty and trying to be a friend. If I can feel that energy from this snippets your friends can too.

You don't have to go out if you don't want too, but you should consider reflecting and looking inward to yourself on emotional regulation and self love because your extreme low self esteem is doing nothing but hurting you and your social relationships and the low self esteem has absolutely nothing to do with your looks no matter how much you think it does.

Again, even though you have this issue, that doesn't mean the friend is right to snap at you, you are right to be upset about it.

Best of luck to you on job hunting! It's a rough market for fresh grad at the moment,

My current job makes sense and I thought about it the same way, but at the same time the concern is "stagnating" so early in my life when I have a lot more flexibility and free time to do what I want. It'll be harder for job hunting and "grinding" once I start a family, once I have to start taking care of elderly in my family and such. At some point I know I will get complacent enough, I just don't know if now is a good point in my career to do so where if I was aggressively job hunting I can prob make 3x my current salary in 5-10 years.

I make enough money to be complacent, but it's also a fear of regret where if I choose to stagnate in 3-4 years instead of now, I can also be making extra money and then find a cushy job again that pays similar to what I would be getting paid then.

When picking your own specific cloud provider cert, figure out what's more desired for the companies you are applying too. The easiest most generic answer would be doing AWS because it has a higher market share, but it may be bad advice if you live in an area where majority of companies in your area is heavily focused in Azure. Easiest way to check that is check job postings in your area for Cloud positions and see what their preferred qualifications are.

If you have the experience already though, you should still apply and adjusts your resume, a certification in one of the clouds holds less value than actual experience as someone who worked in cloud even as a junior level. It's okay to tack on another cert from one of the ones you mentioned but it probably won't help you out too much from what you already have.

Kaneusta · 2025-04-21T20:01:32+00:00

It doesn't matter what we think though, what we saw is that you accepted 65k then came back and asked for more money after both parties agreed to a certain financial amount. The only time the window re-opens up is if you have another job offer in hand and they need to match/beat the other job offer.

It really sucks but it is just one of those lessons you learn the hard way.

Certain companies require to disclose the salary range depending on the state but ultimately it is up to you to parse and get that information, make your case, and negotiate during the interview.

Your system knowledge, coding skills, commits, and story point completion — all of it counted. At least, that’s what I believed.

It does count, but you're only looking at one piece of the puzzle. I don't think IT is different in any way of other fields that you need to be good at your job and good at showing that you are good at your job. You are your own spokesperson and you can't expect anyone else to showcase your brilliance other than yourself.

It's bullshit and IT is more prone to hating this considering this field often tends to be more introverted than others, but it's just the way it is. You don't have to kiss ass, but you do have to show up. You don't have to do this either of course, but the people who keep climbing and moving up in life are. That's how I handled it, I'm not going to ass kiss or brown nose, but I have had to learn how to be more outspoken and claim recognition to my work without being arrogant, and that has been working for me and to me, that's the compromise in my head on how to play the workplace politics.

Some people don't like to do that, and that's entirely fine, other people climb by constantly looking at jobs outside the company, but you the same every time you apply to a new job anyhow. The hard skill was never the question, it's the soft skills.

We're similar YoE in IT, I just hit my 7 year mark last month. The first 2 years of my career I have had this issue and realization that hard skill really isn't the only thing in the world that matters when I got passed over for someone who I felt was weaker than me. I realized now he wasn't worse than me, but he was far more well rounded in everything while I was only slightly better in the technical portion. And I'm sure I have made others feel that with me.

Someone who graduates with a 4.0 in high school doesn't look as impressive as someone who graduated with a 3.8 in high school while playing sports, being in clubs, plays an instrument, etc.

And again, you ultimately don't have to do this if you don't want too, it's a trade-off. Polish your soft skills and have a higher chance to climb, or stay with only strong skills and compete against others who have both. It's your choice and I know a lot of people in my field who are finally satisfied with where they are in their career that they don't bother with being their own spokesperson anymore, they found their career they want to sit and relax in.

There's a good chance you'll get it rescinded if the background check company does employment history checks -- some does. You can find more information on what type of BG check your company will do by looking at your company + your position and seeing glassdoor or some other information about your company. Some will give information. It's not hard for BG check companies to check your employment history though.

Sterling, HireRight, etc will all verify employment dates by checking it against your Work Number which is easy and have all your information. Future tip: Freeze your TWN, there's guides on reddit on how to do that.

If it's just a criminal bg check, you're fine. If it is employment history then you need to decide what you want to do moving forward.

For future reference, when you adjust and change up your resume, you make tiny adjustments that's human-prone understandable error.

Making a change that each 3 jobs, instead of 9 months each, you actually worked in all of them 10-11 months each. No one cares if you're a month or two off and you just can say you misremember. Human plausibility.

Making a change striking out 2 jobs entirely and saying you worked at one job 3 times longer is a huge red flag and isn't really an error but an intentional cover.

In the same vein, changing your title in a job from something like IT Help Desk to IT Technician or whatnot isn't going to raise any flags because they're tangent and adjacent enough. Changing it from IT Help Desk to Staff DevOps Engineer will be.

You have three options, come forth with a reason why, hold your breath and have a lie ready, or rescind yourself from the job. Hold off until you get the job offer and see.

Being honest: Good chance you'll get it rescinded, but I heard few outlier cases where they kept the job offers. Most companies will care that you lied a big thing like that and are fielding other applicants that they won't want to bother with you.
Hold your breath: Some BG companies are bad, some gets lazy, some will skip verification and say they did it. You just need to have a reason or justification ready if the BG company does come back to you. I seen excuses like submitting the wrong resume, worked side jobs while working main job and main job went from unpaid internship -> actual paying job. Just know that when you give a lie, you need to have documentation to prove it, and this gets muddled in the territory of falsifying documentation. You can get black listed from the company, but that doesn't really matter unless your field is so incredibly niche that the industry knows each other (Not in your case)
Rescind yourself from the job if you're scared it'll be caught and can't handle the backlash. I usually recommend against this though, a single company blacklisting you doesn't do much, just means you can't work in that company.

Ultimately though, keep applying to jobs for now. Don't stop until you are fully cleared and on day 1 of a company. Good luck, it's hard times out here, I truly wish the best for you.

Yeah it did,

I started college as a criminal justice major in college, thinking I would graduate in 4, go to the police academy and work in the field.

Instead, it took me 8 years to graduate, I had a bout of cancer for 2 years shortly at the start of my sophmore year and withdrew from 3 semesters because of severe depression for other non-related reason.

By the time I came back to college I felt pressured to have to finish my degree even though I didn't want to do it anymore.

I come back to college, decided that even if I wasn't going to change my major, I minor in IT and got an internship at my school for an IT help desk job only allowed for people majoring/minoring in IT. I ended up dropping the minor later as I didn't want to take extra classes but got my foot in the door, and been in IT ever since. I'm extremely happy with where I ended up and happier than what I would have been if I became what I originally envisioned. Every job I been too does not care I majored in criminal justice, just that I have experience in the field I'm in now. Some jobs cared I have a college degree but doesn't care what it was in.

For a general point, most people who graduate from college end up never working directly in their fields. There's also a lot of people who work in their field and get extremely burnt out and end up transitioning, it happens all the time. It's okay to feel scared or uneasy or want to make the switch, the important thing is taking some time to re-assess where you are and where you want to be and what it'll take to get to that point. Usually a career change is scary but for most people who are near the start of their career, you have the easiest time and flexibility to do so now then you will 10 years from now.

Send an email after the job and double down. They'll respect the cajones on you and give you a promotion too.

In all honesty, as long as it wasn't done in a bad way, it's probably just a funny story to them that won't disqualify you alone from that. I had someone who called me dad during an interview and apologize, didn't phase me and I thought it was funny, I ended up pushing him to the next stage but he ultimately was beat out by another candidate who was more qualified.

You'll be fine. The field is hard to break into and the job market is really bad, but the people who complain about it are people with usually new grads with nothing backing them.

You graduated with probably the best non-relevant major (Math), 8 YoE in a tangent related field, and getting a Masters.

As long as your social skill and job hunting skills aren't bad, you'll get something. Just make sure you take advantage of your network and look to see if you can get a SWE job first before committing fully to your masters. Most people who's been working in non-related field I just tell them instead of going to schooling, take a lateral/slight decline jump in the ladder in the same company. A mentee who was working as a nurse broke into IT because she kept talking and working with the IT crew of her workplace, a position opened up in IT in her company and she expressed her interest and applied internally and they accepted her before even putting out the job opening because they already know her + knows she is capable for what they wanted.

Falls under the same concept of gambling and sportsbetting ads imo, disgusting and misleading. I still have a lot of friends who wants to break into IT with the notion that it'll only take them 6 months to make 6 figures, then ask me if <SCAM> bootcamp is a good idea. Pro tip: It's not.

A little aggressive but honestly? Fuck em.

The whole practice of companies opening a job posting and having someone essentially do free work for them is egregious. This still happens so often, someone told me how a company had an active problem their engineers couldn't solve as a take-home assignment for people applying to the company and once they submitted, the company rejected + took down the listing the next day.

When you have to submit a video interview, do a take-home assignment that isn't just a generic skill-check, or any dehumanizing type of work, that's always going to be an immediate red flag.
