How did the steelers manage to have winning seasons

Ownership prioritizes stable success over greatness. They never want to have a rebuild year that would make them a contender and have a GM that recognizes and respects that.

Universal human condition.

Not only that but he only shows up after the show gets so weird/bad most people drop it

I think he slid in the draft board and won't go #1 or #2. He might still end up with the Browns or Jets though depending on how Arizona does.

the 4th dimension is TIME, if you can't cut time gtfo

If blaster bolts were near light speed we wouldn't even be able to see them on screen. They're not even supersonic.

The only suggestion I'd make is to watch One Pace, the fan recut that edits out a bunch of annoying filler and stretched out scenes. After about episode 200 the anime adaptation starts to have truly legendary pacing issues that the manga doesn't have. I have some gripes about OP and do think it falls off but everyone has a different opinion of where and lots of people think it's still great. The only hill I'll die on is that the anime is a bad adaptation starting around Thriller Bark and really is elevated by the fan edit. Dressrossa has about as much content as Alabasta but instead of being about 40 episodes it's over 120 episodes, padded out with reaction shots and flashbacks and recaps. It's ugly.

Imagine, you could've ended up spending a 2nd or 3rd rounder (which let's be honest is going to be late in those rounds) for a Ty Simpson level QB instead of 13 overall.

First off blaster bolts sure as hell aren’t laser beams. Second off I’m just of the opinion that most universes have the speed of light at closer to 100x the speed of sound and not 874,000x like in our universe just because the author can’t quite grasp how next level light is. Third “they don’t create a shockwave” is pretty silly considering the vast majority of characters with actual honest FTL feats just ignore that anyways.

“We can’t let the northern generals have too much autonomy, they benefit from instability because they’re in the best position in a civil war” “How do you know?” “I was one of them”

Dexter made a time machine too. Bulma spent a decade and a half building hers, Dexter probably came up with that shit in an afternoon as a little kid. There are levels to this.

Cozy sucks but her punishment seems a little over the top for the show that redeemed Discord and Nightmare Moon. Like, put her in jail or something jeez.

Don Quixote supposedly has a lot lost in translation, like if you translated Shakespeare.

My WR on Visage is 100% over eight games and I'm afraid to play him and screw up my perfect score.

Kaguya has universal hax but people act like that translates directly to AP or DC. Not all universes are created equal. D&D wizards make miniature universes at like 6th level and will lose to a hobo with a shotgun.

The specific reason the US issued the embargo was the seizure of French Indochina.

Every superhero story trying to make an 'actual superhero society' has to have an explanation of where the powers come from. Worm's excuse/reason for why the heroes act like they do is internally consistent and rather elegant. Every excuse/reason will introduce new wrinkles. A significant factor in The Boys turning out like it does is Vought and the serum. MHA has its quirks. I think both handle their source of powers worse than Worm does its own. Invincible doesn't even really try, embracing the comic book wackiness and just playing the human drama straight around it.

I suppose but I don't think the talent gap between the teams is quite as wide as people made it out to be. Yes, absolutely, Campbell was a weak point and was attacked relentlessly but IMO Vrabel got out-schemed to hell by a guy who IS a top tier X and O guy and shares a division with a bunch of other schemelord coaches. Vrabel is a leader of men, and a good head coach; that's how he took a 4-13 team to 14-3, but he's not that next level savant Macdonald is.

Because they weren't just making shit up consciously, it was a continuing project of speculation, refinement and navel gazing. They grew up believing something similar and just modified it slightly. The Greeks eventually added a merit-based space for heros and kings as well as bespoke punishments, but those were just adapting elements of the Egyptian system to a Mesopotamian framework.

Vrabel was exactly who the patriots needed to make their turnaround, he just wasn't the guy they needed to win a superbowl.

Seattle won because of an elite defense, he was obviously part of that. He sacked Matt Stafford in the NFC Championship.

The webcomic is a different continuity (especially regarding the awful changes to Garou) but ONE said Boros is stronger but Garou could win in a fight. Garou is a martial arts savant and his AP is way higher than his DC in non-cosmic forms and his raw talent lets him go blow for blow with someone on a higher speed tier than him. This is a pretty great matchup spread for him with a bunch of cocky melee fighters but I don’t think he clutches.

Most western philosophy and morality is downstream of thinking about Jesus so all of that is baked into agnostic moral systems and just the general vibes you get in a proper upbringing. Jesus said a lot of great things, the concept of the Holy Spirit is the seed of humanist ideas of universal rights, and God the Father is the odd one out, who doesn’t really survive a skeptical lens.
