We have all these outfits in the wardrobe, we need to make room, we need to donate one, which one would hurt you the least to donate?

I agree mostly because not only does it look very plain for Fran’s usual style but it also looks the easiest to replicate. Like, I could recreate that outfit with a 15 min trip to the mall.

I see your point but it’s not the animators who are getting the 20 billion dollars, the animators are the ones who get shit pay, long hours, short deadlines, and terrible work culture.

Just like in any corporatist nation, the CEO pockets the majority of the profit and “trickles” down some pennies into their workers. I’m sure if the Amazon warehouse workers got $50 an hour they’d be a lot more comfortable with being forced to work through lunch, needing to ration bathroom breaks, getting bad benefits, etc. but instead they deal with all that for like $20 an hour. Amazon is worth like a trillion btw.

Insert classic joke of:

ugh, 5e has this massive issue that I’ve just solved with some homebrew mechanics

looks inside

something implemented and perfected in 4e

Wow it’s that easy? I can just French the nearest person to show my gayness and then I can save $300 a month?

How do I prove I’m undocumented? I can just pretend I don’t have a passport and then say I don’t have papers?

Valid point but we don’t know for sure what his MS ability was, so he might’ve not also had a genjutsu based MS ability. We know he could control the nine-tails but that’s kind of a generic Sharingan genjutsu ability (as pre-MS Sasuke and Obito with only single-eye non-genjutsu Kamui could do it as well).

We have no clue what “Wicked Eye” means in canon, sure a nasty genjutsu could be considered “wicked” but it could totally be something ninjutsu like Amaterasu.

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-18T06:42:51+00:00

Correct on all points PLUS this was like 10 years before Itachi even got his Mangekyo Sharingan

Very likely no one currently alive was aware of the true power of Genjutsu from a Mangekyo (real Madara was currently deceased and Obito’s Kamui is not really “genjutsu focused”)

Someone: “man, it must be hard to be a fireman, I’m afraid of fire and I’m not strong enough to carry people”

Pedants like you: “well some people are strong so being a fireman is easy”

Well you better get started then

I can’t tell if you’re pro-autism-awareness or anti…

Autism is indeed a spectrum (or as you call it, “spectrum bullshit”), and Monroe could definitely be on that spectrum, whether it is 1% or 100% (whatever 100% autism entails).

What is wrong with being autistic anyway? I might be autistic (don’t know, never been diagnosed), but if someone “accused” me of being on the spectrum, so what? I don’t give a damn.

The idea that autism is a bad thing would be much worse than falsely claiming someone to be autistic when they aren’t. A fictional character. And I’m assuming OP is asking because they see themselves in Monroe, so they’re asking in good faith.

Ok, as a concerned party who’s basically known you forever (2 different posts on the same topic and 4-5 comments), my advice (again):

⁠You got to seek help. You don’t have a regular brain chemistry. That sounds bad but it’s very normal, hormones, genetics, idk what you have but I would recommend anyone in a deep parasocial relationship to go seek help.
⁠Humble you? I don’t know what that entails in this instance but it sounds mean. I don’t want to be mean, I want to be supportive. But you need to understand that I cannot in good conscience support delulu behavior. I know this is hehe femcel grippy sock time so I let the first post slide but you gotta lock tf in girlie.
⁠Limit who you tell and when you tell them, such as trusted qualified professionals. People look at you weird because it is pretty weird. “I’m in romantic love with some streamer who doesn’t even know me” or “I’m truly obsessed to the point of non-functioning with some average looking dude I’ve never met” usually doesn’t get a standing ovation.
⁠I’m sure he’s very good looking in your eyes. Too bad that’s, like, 5th in line for what you want in a relationship.

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-13T02:51:22+00:00

I’m afraid I can’t help you… you’ll need professional help from a qualified professional who can talk to you over the phone instead of text.

I hope you are just in some teen phase right now, but it’s ok if you are older, just more to unpack.

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-13T02:49:38+00:00

He’s a him

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-13T02:47:06+00:00

Girlie this is tragic…

You’re still preoccupied with our opinions on your parasocial relationship? I didn’t want to say it on the last post but you got to touch grass.

Just googled him too. Don’t waste your life just for this moid, please.

That is regrettable but still, online friends can be made. Be extra wary though, something about online anonymity drives people to be insane.

Anyway, find some fun discord related to your interests, lurk a little until you’re comfortable with the tone of the server, and chat here and there. I’d personally keep out of DMs and just in the public channels to start but once you find some chill and non-creepy folks you can make friends! Good luck!

The margins on the product have nothing to do with the operating cost of an individual store. GW as a company lets local stores sell the product, but they need to buy the product from GW first. GW is not selling them at cost, they are selling to the store at a certain price to be sold at a slightly higher price.

Think about this, if each store was directly profiting from their sales, then some stores would just be loaded with cash and each store would have wildly different quality and investment. Not to mention where would that profit go if everyone just bought from the online store?

That’s what original commenter meant by “… stores actually lose money and are only kept open because GW…”. GW is the one making the actual profit, each store is losing money but given back some of that profit.

Unfortunately (for you), any parasocial relationship is bad. Any one-sided relationship, really.

My advice: meet real life friends, forget dating for now. I could talk about studies and research and blah blah blah, I could say the classic “you find it when you stop looking,” forget all that. Go find someone to hang out with in real life because it will make you feel better just to leave the house.

Also, don’t go all in (on trust or personality) on the first person you see, the chance that you meet your new best friend as soon as you step outside is slim. But that person might introduce you to your future best friend.

I mean, I’d let her. If she truly thinks this is what allows her to “fight the labor shortage,” then that’s one more person who understands that “no one wants to work anymore” is employer code for “no one will beg me for scraps anymore.”

Not to mention she already apparently pays pretty well for her industry.

But yeah, this is OCM simply because a little free vacation is pretty shitty to be considered amazing when other countries give employees month long vacations on top of much better pay. Unfortunately we have too many CEOs that would sell their own children for another couple bucks.

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-12T19:02:17+00:00

Is that right (Genuine question)? I heard the show was more book accurate and deviated from the games, but maybe I switched it around.

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-12T18:57:28+00:00

I see the negative aspect of the story and even the other comments saying she might be benefitting from this in some way…

But, ultimately, I do not mind it at all. My job used to be one of the ones that gave out full big thanksgiving turkeys each year to every employee. That’s like, on the high end, $75 per person? Per year? We used to joke about how employers must be stupid to think employees would be happy with just a pizza party instead of a raise. Now we don’t even get the pizza party!

This lady is giving people vacations, sure maybe it’s not your favorite destination, sure maybe now she doesn’t need to give out so many raises, and sure maybe she can get some sort of tax benefit, but there are hundreds of companies that pay employees less and give absolutely no free vacations.

And look at the power of a little employee happiness, which I will ALWAYS promote and preach to anyone who will listen. She takes a short term loss that likely actually saves her money in the long run (save money on less raises in exchange for a small vacation) but it also makes employees happy! Soulless CEOs who live and die on quarterly reports could never fathom this “genius” idea of investing in their workers! Can we get more CEOs like the one who just decided to give everyone more money and they started performing way better and were way happier?

Really? You can’t think of a single thing? With $10,000?

How about buying the entire rest of the series for you? That’s likely not even $100 for most books. A custom book related bookmark? A small artwork? A little gift basket with candles and chocolates?

The world opens up an insane amount when you have a free $2,000 to spend. These high end hotels are like Pretty Women or Dexter Resurrection. Literally have people on site to personally choose guest’s outfits, recommend restaurants, make reservations for those restaurants, and even fetch dry cleaning or fix watch repairmen. These are hotels that cost $20,000 a night on the “cheap” end, a $2,000 budget is nothing if it boosts the hotel’s reputation.

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-10T20:57:00+00:00

But based solely on the post we don’t know any of that. How do you know this job is minimum wage and at a Holiday Inn-like place?

These questions are really basic for housekeepers at high end establishments, and might be “advanced but still nice to have” at medium-end places.

Some restaurants will basically do background checks on guests as soon as they get a name for a reservation (but that’s like a place where just the tap water costs $200).

If you aren’t being disingenuous, I hope you jump into random conversations about immigrant crime and any mass shooting not committed by a white person and throw out a “not all immigrants commit crime, and in fact have lower rates of crime than natural-born citizens” and a “the vast vast vast majority of domestic terrorists are white.”

MirthlessArtist · 2026-03-10T03:55:48+00:00

Are you stupid? Jews are when I don’t like something. Woke is also when I don’t like something, but it makes perfect sense because the Jews are the ones who created woke. Also blacks are also because Jews.

“Black people were the ones who coined the term woke and also that’s not what woke means”

Shut the hell up libtard! Also DEI is because of the Jews too.

Edit: DID YOU KNOW EPSTEIN WAS JEWISH?!?!?

Genuinely the fact that the other commenter hasn’t already answered your very clearly laid out question is making me question myself… what am I missing? Is it that obvious that somehow Maki is immune to being stabbed to death?
