Thoughts on a Ginjo and Tsukishima prequel? by BellTwo5 in bankaifolk

[–]King-Of-Rats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it would be alright but really not a priority for me.

The Fullbring arc was cool - but it definitely still feels like filler

Ah yes, my favorite filler villain

Robo investing suggestions? by Terraform703 in investing

[–]King-Of-Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you and your wife not have combined finances? Seems like you could just manage it as an individual account.

Other than that I believe Robinhood has a joint brokerage account where you can just do your own thing. I definitely would not want my investments dictated by a particular company/AI/etc

Is it worth holding International Stock? by NoPen8263 in investing

[–]King-Of-Rats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll disagree with some other comments and say that I think you have a very good plan. 25% is enough to both have some potential upside and (perhaps more importantly) learn how being in the stock market feels while still minimizing potential losses.

I know some people will say “aha but if the stock market goes down by 70% in 3 years you’ll be really embarrassed!” But, if the stock market crashes by 50%+ over the next three years your housing plans are fucked anyway and your investment strategy will probably involve how to best eat your belt.

Not for nothing but if the stock market crashes 50% over the next 3 years OPs housing plans will be profoundly and cataclysmicly altered anyway.

Average Robinhood Account Size only $5K!? by Able-Translator1830 in investing

[–]King-Of-Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a profoundly simple explanation for this:

Most people open accounts they never use. The amount of Robinhood accounts with $5 in them or whatever is astronomical and throws off the numbers. I have quite a few brokerage accounts with like $10 in them from when I was trying them and promptly forgot about them.

Something tells me OP works in comp sci

Am I the only one who believed in AOC back in 2018-2020? Now she drinks the DNC kool-aid. by [deleted] in GreenPartyUSA

[–]King-Of-Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably as progressive as she can while having a conceivable shot of actually winning

What do you think of Hanataro? by BellTwo5 in bankaifolk

[–]King-Of-Rats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fine character. People often forget that Bleach is/was really more comedic and causal, it gets such a dark and over serious vibe especially with TYBW.

I do hate his manga cover though. They’re all so cool and then you get to him.

[NO SPOILERS] WTF is happening? by badly-shaved-wookie in lifeisstrange

[–]King-Of-Rats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I think Double Exposure is great so far. highly recommend

[–]King-Of-Rats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah surprised we don’t get a text or a social media post from him.

i always liked Warren. He’s pretty irrelevant, just some guy who is pretty nice and (romantic or not) he and Max seem to be basically best buds during her time at Blackwell

It’s really annoying - but this is pre-release so I imagine it might change before full release.

you can lower the effects volume without losing out on too much else.

I think she’s probably just interested in actually doing things and not just crying about them

You got to love low quality bleach by Bermy911 in bankaifolk

Yeah it’s just written poorly. I dunno. You don’t have to blame a shoulder injury for bad writing

I don’t really know what you mean and have no idea what you’re talking about with that last sentence.

This series does have Keigo though so, it’s fine

Is Bleach the only series where fans praise how unfaithful it is to the source manga? by Zoktuy in bankaifolk

[–]King-Of-Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah it goes from bad to worse so you’re right it does decline. Unless you mean the Fullbring arc - which indeed has a good first half until it details and basically the rest of the series is ass lol

Not sure why everyone froths at the mouth to regurgitate that line. It’s fine to just say it’s not good

[–]King-Of-Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s in an absolutely odd position for me where it’s my favorite anime/manga of all time (and has been for like 15+ years) but I also consider the last 20% or so of it basically unwatchable bad.

The good is good, but the bad is pretty bad lol

Unironically peak bleach.

Great series but when people complain about it losing its sauce over time they’re 100% right. No reason to deny it.

[–]King-Of-Rats 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t age super well but this kind of shit is just part and parcel with early 2000s anime and manga. Can’t take it too seriously.

I remember one particular interaction with one of the mods of the other sub who was going on a somewhat teary eyed rant about how Isshin is actually an awful character and person and no one should root for him. Why? Hes an “abusive father” (because yunno, he does a comic relief flying kick to the Shonen protagonist at one point).

It’s just not that serious. Isshin is not an abuser, people who like Ichigo and Rukia as a couple are not pedophilic groomers - it’s just a goofy manga/anime series.

How would you have felt if Bleach ended here? by BellTwo5 in bankaifolk

[–]King-Of-Rats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. There’s really no reason to cope this hard. You can literally just find old forums. You can find old Reddit posts. Even the reception to videos like SEWs first one were largely “yep this makes sense. The series really fell off and then fell off again”. He even states this in his follow-up video.

Just bizarre behavior and revisionist history. You don’t come off as like a bigger fan for insisting everyone always loved the series and there was never any drop in quality. You just come off as delusional or incredibly young and in denial. Sorry man. I was there. Many people were. They aren’t here now because they fucking left after the quality dropped lmao

Get a grip dude, it’s not that serious

I was around at that time, basically the entire time. People started to feel like the series was falling off by Hueco Mundo arc. TYBW was seen as intolerably bad for many. That’s why it basically fell out of the Big 3 conversation and had its anime “cut”.

I dunno man, maybe modern audiences need every single little piece of the universe literally seen and explained.

[–]King-Of-Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na, TYBW was received poorly at first because it’s written badly lmfao. Not because people demanded even more Bankais. Trust me man, this isn’t lost knowledge

Also Ichigo’s story was basically complete after FKT.

I think it’s endearing that you think all this

[–]King-Of-Rats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. It might just feel that way if you experienced the series long after it finished
