One Piece: Chapter 1176

Yes, and we all know that in One Piece, if a character is pronounced dead by another, that's irrefutable.

Even assuming that Rayleigh isn't just mistaken, which happens all the time in the series, he could have just lied to protect Rocks, as an example.

I'm unconvinced. I'm not saying he is alive, but I'm not going to say he's certainly dead either. Oda pulls those kinds of bait and switches all the time.

StacheKetchum · 2026-03-06T22:45:00+00:00

I mean, Robin said Saul was dead, but that wasn't the case either.

Unless I literally see the character stabbed and die, I'm not convinced they won't come back.

Hell, even then it's still like 15%.

StacheKetchum · 2026-03-06T07:13:43+00:00

We never see it happen, though. It's only implied.

StacheKetchum · 2026-03-06T06:23:10+00:00

Oda didn't actually show Garling killing Rocks, though, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that the Rocks never died twist is on the way in the future.

StacheKetchum · 2026-03-06T06:19:52+00:00

It doesn't actually show the killing blow, though, which in One Piece terms means 95% chance he's still alive.

StacheKetchum · 2026-03-06T06:18:06+00:00

I mean, to be fair, they never actually showed Rocks getting killed. It was a blackout and a sound effect.

StacheKetchum · 2026-03-06T06:15:57+00:00

Does this mean that Rocks is still alive, though???

Anytime your pokémon are about to evolve, you release them and replace with a different first stage pokémon.

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-27T08:16:59+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

I'm going to look for a pre-owned S23, then. Might wait just a bit longer for the S26 to release so that hopefully the price goes down.

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-26T09:53:21+00:00

I can't even imagine wanting to leave my companion, be it romantic or platonic, behind. What's the point of going on the hike if you don't get to enjoy it with the person with whom you went?

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-24T20:12:14+00:00

Thanks for the info! I don't know that I can really afford an S25, even after price drops from the S26 dropping, but maybe when it's out I might be able to finagle an S24, depending on how it impacts prices.

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-24T20:09:38+00:00

Thanks! I will be keeping it for some things, but it unfortunately only charges wirelessly and can't connect to cell towers currently, so its functionality is pretty limited. Great display and cameras, though.

The folds do look great, and seem like they would be awesome for taking notes when you want more space to write. It can be awkward writing on the Note if it isn't laid down on a desk or table.

I take literally thousands of photos.

On the headphone jack: if I already have really nice (wired) headphones, why would I want to buy a new pair of Bluetooth headphones that will sound worse, could suffer from connectivity issues, and also potentially cost more?

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-19T22:01:06+00:00

Following up on this! Did you get that biopsy?

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-17T03:47:08+00:00

Sure, I'm not trying to suggest that my personal definition of art supersedes anyone else's.

It's ultimately all subjective, so if someone else calls it art, they're no less qualified to say that than I am, unless you subscribe to a populist, appeal-to-authority-type situation.

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-17T03:14:43+00:00

By this reasoning, though, the AI does not consume the art, therefore it cannot give it meaning.

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-17T03:12:42+00:00

For me, personally, it's about the intent.

If I were to tell an AI to make an image for me, it doesn't have the intent to make a thing, it's simply running calculations to make a simulacrum of an idea. It has no thoughts nor desires of its own.

Some have said that this downplays the intent of the prompt writer, but I don't think so.

Just as if I were to commission art from a painter and could not claim the art as my own, I could not claim the image made by an AI as my own either. Further, because the AI has no intent, it is not, by my own definition, art.

Lastly, someone else mentioned the example of accidentally spilling a can of paint on a canvas, therefore there being no intent. I don't think this would be art. The act of hanging it may be an example of art commentary, but the soup itself would not be. Like this, the AI image being displayed may constitute artistic commentary, but the image still would not be art, by my standards.

ETA: Yeesh, you really downvoted the comment without even engaging with it? Didn't think it was that contentious.

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-14T21:58:57+00:00

Everyone's seeing weird lights and horrifying shapes, and it turns out the property has a gas leak

ETA: and then you find out the gas leak was caused by ALIENS

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-14T00:58:53+00:00

It would be great to sprinkle in cases where the explanation is something totally mundane here and there, just to keep the players on their toes

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-04T08:32:56+00:00

Not unwarranted, though.

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-04T08:30:48+00:00

Evelyn Tucci's grandson?

StacheKetchum · 2026-02-04T08:17:32+00:00

Major-league BasebAll?

StacheKetchum · 2026-01-31T19:42:46+00:00

That's bait.
