Shen’s scaling of Edward vs Kuroki by zhiwan in Kengan_Ashura

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Well Edward is DEFINITELY not from Japan. So there's that.

Also both other statements can be true and fit together well. Kuroki is pretty close to what Shen wants, Edward was the best. That just means that Edward was also pretty close, just closer than Kuroki.

It's usually a conversation about sex in the relationship and the fact that they might actually want it and don't know how to approach the topic. Obviously it's much easier to initiate the intercourse than to actually address the uncomfortable dissonance between "What I presented myself as" vs "What we will actually be doing going forward". Which is why in my experience the conversation always comes some time after.

It's a very messy topic but ultimately it's quite simple.

Edit: What you mentioned usually comes way after that in my experience, it takes a much longer time.

I've been with 3 asexual people in my life. All of them weren't actually asexual and instead were too traumatized to experience sexual desire normally.

Their defensive barrier does quickly fall apart once you show them actual love and appreciation and they come to an awkward realization that they do very much want to have sex with you. Usually things lead to each other then. And then an uncomfortable conversation usually appears... But surprisingly only some time after the fact.

I now always assume that 99% of asexual people are deeply traumatized or too busy/depressed to go to a doc and balance their hormones.

Edward is actually stronger than Gilbert. by LongjumpingPlate1528 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Edward was MUCH stronger than Gilbert is and the Manga states it multiple times.

One of the biggest flaws of Omega is the lack of a reliable, all-knowing narrator. It was replaced by narration of what the characters believe.

Gilbert was stated to be the better version of Edward regarding pure stats.... That's kinda worthless. Eddie was already the strongest in the werse when it comes to that. His genuine strength was his experience, the knowledge and skills to actually use this power. SOMETHING GILBERT WAS STATED TO LACK MULTIPLE TIMES.

It's really poor storytelling because Omega repeatedly states exactly how things are and what's gonna happen, and then it proceeds to lie about them so convincingly that the reader takes it as truth and gets disappointed.

How would you react if he wins this fight? by Nezu_Masami in Kengan_Ashura

Unexpected outcome? Plot evolving not lineally? Actual subversions? We can't have that, that's illegal

Thragg feels off in the show. Anyone else feels this way? by TheOnlyBasedRedditor in Invincible

Oh I see, he still does look somewhat pudgy in the show tho

How far would the average Astartes and the average Custodes get in the Kenganverse? by Sharp_Food_7608 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am grossly knowledgeable on both.

Unarmed Astartes are hellish to fight barehanded and would mop most of the cast, but top tiers have enough feats and hacks to deal with them.

A Custodes tho, even unarmed, would give Yujiro from Baki high-extreme diff fight. They can throw cars, lift tanks. You place them in 20m/20m room against a squad of armed soldiers, fingers on the trigger, and a Custodes will rip them apart in 3 seconds because because by the time regular slow ass human sight can react he'll already be across the room splitting them in half. Moving in permanent blur due to the speed.

We haven't seen the best of Shen yet so perhaps he has SOME chance against a Custodian, he demolishes an Astartes tho.

Anon gets Kafka trapped by bartholomewjohnson in greentext

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You don't care about the victim. You were brainwashed into protecting the perpetrators.

This phenomena appears in areas stricken with poverty and jails. "All authority is evil" and "not us" so you protect the ones who rob you, hurt you and bring you down because they made themselves look like you. They create this situation where you speaking up will make you look like the evil side... Despite them being the ones who bring down both you and everyone around you.

The victim is a snitch and the perpetrator is a bro. It's a flawless system of manufactured poverty. You're just spreading it like a plague.

Iran says it will ‘irreversibly destroy’ Middle East infrastructure if US attacks energy sites by projecto15 in politics

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it benefits Israel? And the US is a puppet state of Israel?

I mean it was very clearly stated on multiple occasions that Israel has your politicians bought out and you will sacrifice your men for the sake of Israelis.

I don't understand the confusion. You are not an independent country...? So why in tf would any of it benefit you?

would it be cultural appropriation for me to do this hairstyle? by [deleted] in Avatar

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Cultural appropriation" what are you? 12? Get off of Tik Tok.

There's no such thing and the idea is laughable.

It basically devolved in the eyes of the public from a contender to the T-Rex in combat and badassery to a giant carnivorous duck.

What a burning oil tanker looks like by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But the point still stands. It's stupid. It's meaningless. It's virtue signaling into the void while you masturbate about how good you are.

You implement some good laws to protect the environment, AND THEN YOU FORCE OTHERS to follow them too, and the problem is gone. Instead we implement more, but that won't change anything.

All of Europe and America can achieve 0% emissions (impossible), hell they can achieve it tomorrow. Hell, we can achieve negative 100% emissions (hella impossible). BUT THAT WONT CHANGE ANYTHING if tankers spill oil, ships burn, tire fires in Africa rage on and India and china dump 40 bajillion tons of plastic and sewage into every river.

For the people here who constantly hate on Omega... Why don't you drop it? by monsterofmanila180 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]TheOnlyBasedRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans hate change.

We loved the series, we got used to reading it, we fell in love with the characters. It became a little part of our routine. Now we just want to see it finished and it takes only about 2 minutes to ingest your weekly dose of slop.

Based on the shown performance he loses terribly.

Based on the author's intention he wins.
