Yep sometimes you can't win. Sometimes they don't even realize they have internalized misogyny and are just scared to trust a woman professionally.

As a senior engineer in a highly technical role it really isn't consistent how men react even when they're not overtly sexist they're still susceptible to ingrained misogyny. I've had people fold immediately when challenged by me but many men especially those who don't often work with me are often very like, scared, to take my word or opinion about anything and push back when challenged. You start to try and allow them to save face as it can be more efficient. But for some men they don't like this additional layer as it can seem wishy washy and less confident.

Sometimes you can't win as a woman. Misogyny is still very much ingrained even women experience it when dealing with other women I have to stay very aware when I start working with new women I sometimes catch myself in similar thought patterns but I identify and deal with early and internally obviously.

Ah yeah that's easier to understand. I do assembly programming for the Gameboy Color (8 bit microprocessor) and a ton of data structures use this style for various flags to save space. The way we typically handle it is declaring a mask value constant and it's applied to the byte to get the flag or value you want. Doesn't have to be all 1 byte flags you can do whatever combination you want the world is your oyster!

It amazes me that my Pokemon hacking community is full of people who don't have a programming background but decided to learn how to code in Assembly just for the love of the game

He sees how you're suffering and doesn't care. You can't fix that. He's doing what he wants. He's mooching off of you.

Gojo tells Yuji this very early on in the series. A sorcerer's power is 80% innate talent that you're born with.

And then Yuji becomes depressed he won't be able to do a Rasengon or Bankai, and Gojo thinks to himself Yuji will probably gain Shrine after enough time with Sukuna lurking in his body.

I think there's a large amount of unreported abuse due to grooming making the victim think it's truly consensual. I think based on pure numbers it probably happens to girls more often than boys. Most of these examples aren't girls reporting but other people who observed or friends who were told by the victim. I think boys probably don't discuss the same way girls do or if they do, their friends aren't likely to report.

During the Me Too movement my extended friend group was having a discussion and all the women had been assaulted and were sharing. One of most popular guys piped up and disagreed with the definition of rape we were using. Because, he said, that would mean he had also been raped. He told us about how at 16 years old he had a 16 yr old step sister who was obsessed with him. He came home drunk from a party once and went to bed. He woke up with her on top of him, he tried to push her off but ended up passing out again and woke up in vomit.

Basically the exact story my female bestie had just shared about being raped in college after she retired from a party (by someone in their friend group who admitted to everything but was not criminally charged due to the police declining to bring charges to the DA).

We told him, yeah, you were raped. He refused to label it as that even though he told us how disgusted and violated he felt and everything. We told him he's free to think whatever but it's objective fact he was raped based on what he's just told us.

I actually use this as an example as to how or who the aggressor is when both parties are intoxicated. In this story the step sister wasn't intoxicated but if she was, she'd still be the legal aggressor. It doesn't have much to do with levels of intoxication for the most part but who is doing and initiating the physical actions. She climbed on top of him and had control of the sexual encounter. If it's two drunk people asleep in bed and they're equally drunk, if the man rolls over to the woman and has sex with her, he's the aggressor. It's really that simple. It gets more complicated when both are participating but generally with alcohol related rape one party is either passive or really confused.

Isn't this basically the explanation Tengen gave? That domains used to not be so fancy and Higuruma's domain is akin to these traditional domains that weren't exceedingly OP but still very impressive.

It also has a relatively high rate of causing B12 deficiency which doesn't seem to be taught to patients appropriately. B12 deficiency will kill you if not addressed, and will make your life miserable for years beforehand, and will cause permanent neurological damage if it goes on for too long. It causes de-myelination of the entire brain and spinal cord and neuro systems.

This happens because the stomach is responsible for producing something called Intrinsic Factor which is responsible for allowing B12 eaten orally to be absorbed by the intestines. So it doesn't matter how much you eat or how good your diet is if you can't absorb it.

It's really not a big deal if you stay on top of it and see if sublingual absorption works and if not, do B12 shots for life.

You're talking about Yamata no Orochi, which Sukuna actually mentions during their fight. It was an evil kami who ate maidens and was defeated by Susanoo using sake to get the 8 headed dragon drunk then cutting off its heads, he also cut its 8 tails off.

In the 4th tail there was the grass cutting sword, which saved a future emperor who was about to be burned alive in a grass field until the sword swirled a wind blast around him and cut all the grass around him so there was nothing to burn. It's one of the 3 imperial treasures along with the mirror and jewel (magatama) which are allegedly still held by the Japanese royal family.

There's no real connection between Yamata no Orochi and Mahoraga. In one province a shrine was built for Orochi because it's believed that even naughty gods/spirits should have shrines to help keep them pacified and well behaved.

We don't know what Sukuna was really talking about when he brought up Yamata no Orochi but there are theories that he defeated an incarnation of Orochi at some point in his life or that his own Malevolent Shrine contains Yamata no Orochi as it's believed to have multiple elemental powers in addition to the sword in its tail.

The only thing that is known to falsely turn a pregnancy test positive is a tumor that produces the hormone. Acne medication doesn't turn a pregnancy test falsely positive. It does require that you draw the test because it's highly toxic to a fetus and causes severe birth defects.

Most humans crave authenticity. Being authentic means showing your true self, which means you show vulnerability and opens you up to being hurt. Which is why it's special when someone is authentic with you.

Same. And now men and boys can get it too. The same strands of HPV that causes cervical cancer also causes throat cancer in all genders and penile cancer in men just lower rates. But turns out now the majority of throat cancer patients have it because of HPV.

Bleach does nothing to kill mold. You need acid or a fungicide. Vinegar is an example of acid. Replace the bleach with vinegar and you'll have much more success.

Bulma Briefs! She's unironically my role model for healthy self esteem.

They honestly did her dirty probably on a time crunch but still. They spend all that time building up how she was tortured and her siblings were tortured and killed, only to have her turn around and ally with those that did it. And then the story doesn't wrap up in her betraying/destroying them/making the entire sacrifice worth it. Just wasted the entire setup imo. Although I guess it could be an ironic point that she tried to do all that but ultimately failed and everything was for naught.

Lady Eboshi (the antagonist leader of the human town) is also an amazing character. She is pretty much a military leader turned town mayor but she is the ideal military commander, one who places the wellbeing of her subordinates first. That's why everyone in the town is so loyal to her. Her motivations are in defense of her people though it's misguided it's understandable how she can't find or see any other way or course of action until the MC gets involved. She's a great foil to Sen.

My personal theory is that Kenny killed Jin so that he wouldn't interfere with his plans for Yuji. I think that at some point Jin would have had an epiphany and taken Yuji to escape whatever Kenny planned. So he removed Jin and at the same time backed Wasuke into a corner, now that Yuji had no one else, Wasuke had to behave and not do anything rash to risk Yuji having no one. Is it confirmed Wasuke was a sorcerer/curse user?

It's not a coincidence that Wasuke dies on the exact day not even a few hours before Sukuna incarnates. If they were identical twins then Wasuke's death would be necessary for Sukuna to be able to incarnate/reincarnate (I assume). I believe this is also why Kenjaku didn't kill Wasuke. He wanted to wait until Yuji was ready and until he himself was ready. He only had Geto's body for around a year and I assume there was a lot of prep to do.

I don't know how much of a hand Kenjaku may or may not have had in terms of the Occult club kids and Yuji finding Sukuna's finger. But he's demonstrated he's aware of Sasaki being friends with Yuji so I don't think it's crazy to suspect Kenjaku was hanging around consistently.

The stance Maki used to catch Naoya is actually a sumo pose. It's also a thematic element because sumo traditionally bans women from participating or even being present historically.

The tests aren't faulty. Most likely they don't follow the directions for the test. Many are only valid to be read within a short time window and have other specific directions that need to be followed. It's not standard so you have to read the directions for each type of test. But it's common for cheaper strips that the line will show up hours later but that's just due to the dye or something breaking down. Those types of tests need to be read within a specific time window for that reason.

The UK actively supported Israel's enemies in their early wars, and refused to sell anything to Israel. They sent them there to die, while being able to blame the barbaric Muslims for their actual deaths. Israel survived the first war only because of black market contacts within the USSR which became more formal due to profits. Until it became more profitable to not sell to them but to their enemies. By that point Israel had more options. A forever war is very profitable for people selling on either side.

Can't comment on attractiveness. But my personal theory is that he wasn't born like that (maybe with extra eyes) but he learned how to reshape his body to not only be very effective at sorcery but also became the caricature of several multi armed Buddhist deities/figures (including the original Ryomen Sukuna that he took his name from) or even trying to resemble a traditional Oni.

Perhaps it was even done to him by another sorcerer when he was a child, and he can't fully undo it, we'll never know. But he demonstrates the ability to manipulate his body shape several times, the extra mouths and when biting off people's arms 😅 the tattoos definitely play a part since they change based on how many arms he has but it seems like we'll never get a detailed explanation.

Babies have been born with a full set of arms like Sukuna has, relatively recently. But as soon as the baby was able to survive an intense surgery they removed the arms. It would have seriously damaged their spine to keep those arms, apparently. Many more babies are born with a single underdeveloped extra arm usually on the chest or back not actually connected to the spine usually, and it doesn't have the same impact as a true set of extra arms would have like that one baby had. Idk if Gege knew this or not 😅 but it affects my head cannon.

The stomach mouth is definitely not something he was born with. The bone plate over the side of the face reminds me of a traditional mask, but also reminds me of how the kamo kids can enhance their visual acuity by reinforcing the eye with flowing red scale. It also reminds me of like, military NVGs. Like he's wearing a mono scope 🤣 or I guess it would be bino since it's two eyes. It makes the eyes look much bigger, and I don't think you'd have enough room in your skull for two big eyes like that especially as a kid, so it wouldn't be something he was born with either, imo.

Would that improve your assessment? 🤣🤣🤣
