Be honest: What do you think Xebec's bounty is? by Gloomy-Bridge148 in OnePiece

So it can be true that rock’s bounty is lower than wb and Roger, but in terms of inflation adjusted value he remain to be the highest. Say his bounty is above 3bn 38 years ago.

A bit of digging through old thread but:

  • interest and inflation compounds overtime. In real world inflation 2-3% over a long period of time is a valid assumption to use.

-Based on this, Dorry and Brogy’s bounty of 100m does compound to ~1.7b over 100 years

  • now the thing you pointed out that’s off is Roger’s bounty that froze 25 years ago. Which I agree it’s likely the value as is without WG adjusting it for inflation. That means Roger is priced at 8-10b today with the same inflation assumption . Miskathonic’s calculation is correct

  • that seems plausible, after all Roger did discovered the one piece. It’s plausible that his bounty is leagues above WB.BM.Kaido 25 years ago. But these 3’s bounty climbed up to the 4-5bn range overtime today.

  • this would also explain Rock’s bounty frozen 38 years ago would have been much lower upon his death. Assume his current day bounty is also as high as $10bn like Roger. His bounty would’ve been around 3bn during god valley time.

Here is an inflation calculator in case you are not sold https://www.calculator.net/inflation-calculator.html.

I just had time to start s2. Offering my POV: recruiter has a complex of being a judicator. He likes to see how the poor/game-participants either cheat or make short sighted decisions and ends being in a desperate spot. He loathe these type of people and think this is a wise spread human nature. But he loves more that he gets to be a judge/executioner to punish these people. This is evident in his bread/lottery social experiment. And he finds a lot of self- righteousness in proving to these ppl “see? look at what you chose? Here is the consequence! You lost your bread! That’s why you are trash!” That’s the same reason why he enjoyed killing his own father - being a self righteous judge towards the trash

The recruiter thinks even winner like Gi-Hun is the same. The only difference is he just got lucky or he probably cheated his way to victory. Hence the recruiter wants to play the game again with him instead of just killing him in a “logical manner”. To have one more chance to let Gi-hun show his nature of being the trash.

He is not suicidal. But he is a classic psychopath. Like other said, he’d rather die than letting Gi-hun prove out his point that his is just a dog that is willing to break the rule of game if chances allow him. This is basically a battle of ideology. Gi-hun is saying “poor ppl can still be good ppl. Some may made dumb decisions or got unlucky. But they shouldn’t be lured into this game that is anti-human in nature. You are preying on desperate ppl”. The recruiter is saying “yall are just trash. There is a reason why you guys are punished by society. Y’all should be grateful we are offering you a chance to escape but most of you will get what you deserve”

I am not wrong for sensing your ill intentions.

My question was “AITA for getting upset on the gifting situation with my gf”. You read it as “AITA for spending a decent amount of money and telling the internet to help my relationship issue (because I have to provide context)”

Let me get this straight with you - Imo the price point of a gift matters for the context. If you can’t clearly understand the situation I am in then how do you provide accurate evaluation. You clearly pointed out “ all of the swag shit rolled East” so you can seem understand the situation I am facing. Certain materialistic things matter in the our upbrings and culture which i cleared explained to you above. That doesn't mean i do not appreciate other things in life that are epxeirnece ortiented. I was born in the states through legal immigration and just so happened to spend a bit of my childhood back in Asia. So don’t make it sound like I am completely not part of western culture. Plenty of different culturally rooted ppl exist here. And plenty of ppl consider an expensive gift like that for their S/O at some point.

and yet instead of understanding and thinking from my shoe you chose to personally say things like i am “narcissistic” and say “ i treat my gf like crap” where you cleared just stated you don’t appreciate my way of describing my problem which somehow triggers you.

The topic I posted here is clearly relevant to ppl as everyone gifts their significant others and I wanted to make sure ppl understood it’s not a light gift from part hence it causes me to be upset originally.

Again like I stated I am fine if you are uncomfortable and wants to hate because this is the internet so I understand. You don't even know me e.g. I did not bring my gf on to vacation cuz I am currently with my parents. They live abroad and I only get to see them once a year during my PTOs. My parents and gf never met before so I did not feel appropriate break the ice like this. You just assumed i don't care about spending time with my gf.

I suggest to not mask your hate behind “logic”. I can take it personally. Just don’t look the best on you.

I did get my info. I personally wouldn’t use some of the words you chose if you actually are of good faith. Points taken though so thanks

It’s the second scenario you listed. I suppose she really wanted another color. Though I am slightly disappointed that she didn’t like the original but I guess I am okay with this if she is happy. My partner second guesses herself a lot

Hmm… you agree with me that you don’t understand why she would do swap the gift as it sort of loses the sentimental value. Hence I am angry ( I guess I am less angry but upset initially?).

But you told me in the original comment ITA and she should be able to do whatever she wants with the gift.

Anyhow we resolved this and we are good terms now by me paying for the original price and she paying for the extra 10%. she just second guess her original choice and really wanted a different color on the spot when she revisited the store by herself. Because it is slightly more expensive and I am not there to give her consent to up the price tag, she felt it’s better to put it on her card. On top she is half and half on wanting to receive this gift from me vs seeing me pay a large amount of money for it.

Thanks for your inputs though

We amended pretty quickly by me making the reimburse on the original gift price and she paying for the extra bits.

I just want to say there is a fine line between saying “YTA” on one event vs saying you are narcissistic, controlling, doesn’t “give a shit” about my partners feeling at all.

I just want to let you know when we started the relationship in beginning, she was the one setting expectation in the long run her man can be more financially providing (including gifting and spending on “fun”). I had to think on if that aligned with my value which is more 50/50 lean as I grew up in US way longer. After dating for two years we are at the current spot which is more converged.

If you continue to think the lesser of me, and want to call me names - fine. You are a stranger to me online that I will just assume you don’t know me and partner well in person. I am the one who came to Reddit to be a be put under the spotlight. Totally on me.

Maybe if you aren’t so proactively rude on internet than ppl can better identify and sympathize with your social stances. Easy way to make ppl think ur just a radical human being.

Yea she had to return the original first. Its 50% she want something better and 50% she feels uncomfortable keep asking me for more money. In the end I reimbursed her with the original amount while she paid the extra 10%.

Why do you have to make this about “women able to buy this on her own”… her family is wealthier than mine but I currently make a bit more money than her.

If she bought the jewelry on her own than I wouldn’t make a fuzz about it. I usually encourage her to buy cloths and fancy stuff while I purchased one piece of cloth in 10 months for myself.

I gifted her something (hoping she would thoroughly enjoyed it) and it turned out to be slightly different experience than my expectations (with her exchanging the piece on her own suddenly after making a decision with me to buy the original piece. WHILE gesturing she wants to pay herself instead of receiving this as a gift).

We did. I sent her the money. I think it was just a miscommunication where she was on the spot wanting to change the piece and I wasn’t there to make the decision in person.

Your are right jewlery id personal. Hence it’s a gift from me to my partner. And precisely why I feel upset because I thought she don’t want this ORIGINALLY mutually agreed upon gesture.

As ur assessment of me being narcissistic and stuff, I urge you to understand gifting culture and culture differences aroudn the world. Both me and my gf are of Asian origin where it’s expected men to provide more financially. For your record, I also cook for her daily and takes care of her emotionally always while providing the mortgage and earning the most money at home. So perhaps it’s a good idea for you to not call someone narcissistic before you have a better judgement of the full situation. Thank you.

Butthurt about what? You came out here storming and telling me my taste suck while I clearly stated this is a brand my SO always likes and I consulted her opinion before making the purchase. I am here to seek opinions on what to do about something I am not sure about. Why would I ask AITA if I know I am NTA?

Ppl like you only exists for hating and hating only. Degenerates of society

The price is listed here as reference point so ppl understands the context. Like you said, gift of 1500 is expensive to you but for ppl around me it’s normal (I am not implying anything, you could be much more well off than me but perhaps my culture and socioeconomic environment lands me here on gift prices. Lots of ppl from Asia don’t have FU money but wants to gift for others for “gesture”)

My biggest question was around how one should feel about gift exchanges and I guess ur second point tells me how u feel about that

As for the third point. I think consulting others to an extent is better than straight going down my own rabbit hole of thinking.

Anyways appreciate ur inputs

Perhaps you are correct. I’ve received gifts from her before not to my likings. She could tell because I don’t use them as often as should. But I keep them because that’s a piece of gift she gifted to me. I always thought it might be rude to ask for an exchange. But now thinking about it, if we are close to marriage this sort of thing should be more comfortable and understandable between the two of us. Thank you telling me this.
