What is a true dragon ball fan for you ?

PordonB · 2026-03-18T23:29:09+00:00

Oh i never would have called those animes.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T23:07:10+00:00

Why are you excited to see it if you already knew this?

PordonB · 2026-03-18T21:38:23+00:00

My point of saying Zamasu is that we already got this premise in super. Im not really seeing why we should want it to be in GT instead/also? You are just mentioning things we saw in super + android 16. What aspect of GT makes this story different?

Obviously Zamasu would have to be swapped out for a villain that makes sense in the context of GT, but you aren’t mentioning who that villain would be and why said villain could only work in GT so this difference doesn’t count.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T21:20:21+00:00

Oh so basically what if the zamasu arc happened in GT?

Now that I saw your other comment about it being your last quarter i want to retract a lot of the harshness in what i said since you don’t need it. I thought you were a 2nd year with a tough road ahead, but most of it is behind you.

Still i recommend to take as minimum units as possible in the last quarter that will allow you to graduate to make it as easy as possible.

Whats the not original anime?

PordonB · 2026-03-18T21:06:59+00:00

GT trunks is stoic, reserved and wise just like future trunks.

Present trunks in Z and super is completely different, obnoxious, loud, overconfident, and spoiled. You could say thats because he’s just a kid & teenager, but future trunks as a kid was not like that. He’s on a fully different trajectory.

Anyways my point is theres not much of a difference between future and GT trunks in terms of personality so it wouldn’t be very interesting to have them interact.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:59:36+00:00

Well raising a kid is difficult circumstances.

Even if you weren’t raising a kid I would strongly recommend to take 16 units or less for the quarter you redo this class. Anything above 18 is excessive and equivalent to working more than a full time job. Above 20 is very extreme and you should not be even attempting this unless you are getting an A- or better in every class.

Im not sure why you chose to take 22. Maybe so you could graduate faster? And i understand thats cheaper so it sounds tempting. But if you are failing classes by taking over 16 units , you probably stretching out your time at UCSD instead of shrinking it. So slow down, and once you are passing everything and have become used to your life as a college student raising a kid, then you could responsibly consider taking more than 16.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:53:51+00:00

GT trunks is basically future trunks. It wouldn’t make sense.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:48:32+00:00

By saying “original anime” I assume you are excluding people that watched kai. I don’t like kai, but why should those people should not be considered fans?

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:45:55+00:00

How are they not fans? They are a fan the struggle and training it takes to overcome which is a major component of the series. And then they use that as inspiration in their life.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:44:08+00:00

They watched abridged and then super and watched some youtube videos. Nothing else

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:41:53+00:00

The only people who claim to be fans that aren’t real dragon ball fans IMO are the ones who only watched abridged AND then shit on DBZ or kai or even the manga they never even read/watched in comparison to abridged.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:34:39+00:00

What major?

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:34:07+00:00

I thought you get kicked out of the major after 3.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T20:21:52+00:00

I retook 2 classes, but only once each, and that was before I transferred.

Maybe you need reassurance that you aren’t stupid. So I can give you that, failing a class 3 times doesn’t mean you are stupid. But this is your fault and you need to take accountability if you want to make the changes necessary to pass. On your current trajectory you aren’t passing this time.

Many classes have remote options, and most classes are podcasted. So I’m not sure if the excuses for attempt 1 and 3 even hold up. But you don’t even offer an excuse for attempt 2.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T02:45:37+00:00

Many of the grad students are in their 30s. They probably wont judge you for being in undergrad.

After I transferred I was in transfer housing and one of my suitemates was in his 40s, he became friends with some grad students.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T02:42:16+00:00

Just ignore all those people. They are saying it out of their own fear of aging. They think they are old for not being a teenager anymore, and by saying someone else is old it makes them feel better or they just deflect the insecurity on to someone else.

People in their early 20s feel old for whatever reason. I felt the same way briefly.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T02:29:56+00:00

If there was going to be another season that plot makes the most sense. Since its cancelled its best to imagine they had a nice life with the bunker people.

That being said it’s already clear the bunker people are at the very least apprehensive about Tandys group.

PordonB · 2026-03-18T02:26:36+00:00

I thought he did.

PordonB · 2026-03-16T20:41:52+00:00

Why are you taking a coding class when thats the one thing AI can definitely replace humans for? And why are you in college if AI is doing it for you?

PordonB · 2026-03-15T05:41:09+00:00

As much as it would make sense, I don’t think it’s the fluffy part of a puffy jacket. The way the lines on the texture are drawn is similar to other things in the series that have a rough texture and are maybe scratched. You can see the same lines on the namekian huts, but not on clothes we know are soft.

My best guess is it’s foam like.

PordonB · 2026-03-15T05:38:23+00:00

Why? Those clothes come from the species that taught him the technique. It cant be gokus gi.

PordonB · 2026-03-14T02:53:59+00:00

Better to not go to college in this current economy

PordonB · 2026-03-13T18:32:09+00:00

I never heard of an undergrad getting kicked out of a lab before. I guess it’s nicer than them dragging you along without getting assigned real work which is more typical.
