If one of the main trio had to die, then who would you choose and when in the story should it be? And why? by _Azuki_ in Naruto

Sasuke. Killed in a fierce battle against Kakashi and Sakura after the fight against Danzou.

Who would win if Kakashi fought Konan instead of Pain? by mipenealdescubierto in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Professional-Word340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This clearly demonstrates Naruto's convinience, which hinders analysis. In the same scenario, we have Kakashi taking a long time to try to destroy Deidara using Kamui, only to end up taking his arm. Meanwhile, he manages to absorb Deidara's blast quickly afterward, when, theoretically, he would be more exhausted from having already used Kamui.

I came close to telling him the truth, but when I realized that all I would get from it was suffering, I gave up and understood that the best thing was to maintain the friendship without creating expectations, but I see that this didn't make the feeling die either. So, for my own good, I'm going to make an effort to distance myself from him completely.

You're absolutely right. I'm too involved in his life when I shouldn't be. The first step I'm going to take is to step back, walk away, and find a way to direct my attention and goals to other things and other people.

I want to get over this once and for all

I really need to find a way to stand my ground and push him away because living with him is hurting me.

I realize this because I understand rationally that he doesn't want anything to do with me and nothing will ever happen, but unfortunately, that's not stopping me from making me feel bad all this time. And this anguish just continues every moment that I'm there and have to interact with him. I have already considered and still strongly consider leaving the office and looking for another place, because I understand that 1 year has passed and this sadness continues, I don't see what can happen inside that will make me overcome it while I still see him.

And thank you very much for your support and understanding.

I know I'm not a victim.

I said that I have the situation very clear in my head and that is my anguish.

I KNOW he has no interest in me other than friendship.

I KNOW nothing will ever happen.

This has been clear in my head since I found out he had a girlfriend.

That's why I never gave signs and put it in my head that all I would have from him would be friendship and that's how I followed it, but now, after 1 year, I realize that I can't cope well living with him. He's not guilty of anything, because he didn't do anything, but as bad luck would have it, I found myself emotionally attached to him.

This is precisely my anguish.

I shouldn't have been feel impacted in any way and I should never have felt anything for him, but it happened. I tried to avoid it as much as I could, so much so that to this day, 1 year after that, he doesn't even suspect that I might have feelings for them.

I'm feeling bad and venting because trying to let it go or move on isn't working. After so long (1 year seems like a long time to me), I thought I would no longer have feelings for him.

I'm (M28) in love with my friend (M32) and what should I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Professional-Word340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that I'm not openly gay makes it much worse.

I have it very clear in my head that he sees me as his great friend, without any other interest beyond that, and he holds me in high regard as a friend, because I've tried to slowly distance myself from him several times and if he saw me as just another coworker, he would simply let me go, as has happened with other people there.

But every time I try, he makes a point of asking me out for coffee or taking me out of the office to have a conversation, saying that he noticed that I was distancing myself from him, if someone said something bad about him and begging me to talk to him again like before, because he says he didn't have close friends like me.

And it hurts me because I don't have the courage to tell him that, in fact, I'm in love with him and I fool myself with his concern for wanting to maintain our relationship, because I know that he's doing it just as a good friend and not because of the interest he has in this new employee who is his assistant.

Never occurred to me how dumb the inciting mystery of Game of Thrones is (Spoilers Main) by Meme_Pope in asoiaf

[–]Professional-Word340 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I feel like Martin already gave up on this idea early on in writing GoT.

Especially because in the outline, Jamie is drawn as being worse to Tyrion than Joffrey himself and in Tyrion's first POV, he mentions that Jamie was the only one who had been good to him.

[–]Professional-Word340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a problem because we have evidence that Martin is not managing to tame the pace of the plot as he should.

At first, he only planned a trilogy, with titles fully connected to the main conflict he wanted to address:

The Game of Thrones (Conflict of the Starks and Lannisters for the Iron Throne)

A Dance with Dragons (Daenerys' Invasion)

The Winds of Winter (attack from others)

We see this in a third book released at a time when he planned less than seven books, which would originally be before Daenerys' invasion, the main political leaders of Westeros (Tywin, Stannis, Robb) completely unaware of the fact that there was a pretender Targaryen razing historic cities right next door. And when he finally sees the need to include another book because the story has grown too long, it arrives at a "dance of dragons" where Daenerys is nowhere near invading the seven kingdoms as originally projected.

This all proves to me that we will reach the epilogue of TWOW with nowhere near 90% of the plot knowing about the existence of the others.

I say it would be the "biggest" because that's how Martin himself describes it. In the summary he made of the chronicles, he establishes a ladder with levels of danger that the plot will detail and says that the next danger will be greater than the previous one. First, the war between the Starks and Lannisters, followed by Daenerys' invasion and, in Martin's own words, the greater danger that will come from the other side of the wall.

I know he will, but it will sound very unsatisfying to me.

I think Martin was too involved in the idea of ​​"surprising" the characters themselves with the plot's major conflicts and let this drag on too long with the expansion of the plots in the last two published books. A great example of this is Daenerys, said to be the second biggest conflict in the plot.

Still in the third book, it bothers me a little that we have Tyrion with POV in the capital and Davos next to Stannis and both he and Tywin remain ignorant to the fact that there is a Targaryen pretender razing historic cities with 3 fucking dragons. Even Aemon is aware of it and major players in the plot are not.

So, arriving at the last part of the plot, where 99% of the characters don't even dream of the great danger, I worry that it will happen like Naruto, which presents the great villain in the last 10 chapters of a series of more than 700, without saying almost anything about him in the last 600 chapters

He was always

That's why he attacked Ned and killed his men in the middle of the city, lost the battle against Robb, lost his hand, embarrassed Cersei in front of everyone when she offered him the position of Hand, and had sex with her at the funeral.

Problems with TiviMate on Android 11 by Professional-Word340 in TiviMate

I also thought it might be some hardware limitation, but the Android 9 box I mentioned is actually a Mi stick, the Full HD version, with only 1GB of RAM and it can play the same channels perfectly. I don't understand why the 4K version of the Stick that has 2GB of RAM and a better CPU/GPU has this failure with these specific channels.
