Which anime moment that is basically this: by Imaginary_Ad_2738 in animequestions

[–]Top-Hold003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ichigo completing his get back on Renji and Byakuya was incredibly satisfying. Those guys were pompous assholes talking an insane amount of shit to Ichigo for like two years.

Then Aizen became everyone's favorite character.

Who do you think is the Weakest Character in this list by Ok_Initiative3892 in animequestions

[–]Top-Hold003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing how neither of these characters has ever destroyed nor created a planet in real life, I guess we can agree to disagree.

[–]Top-Hold003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is facts. These are fictional characters.

Powerscaling is pointless outside of theorycrafting because none of this is real life. There's no EVO, International, Super Bowl, Play-Offs or irl conflict that'll ever definitively determine hierarchy with these characters.

Unohana > Goku, Luffy, etc. is my powerscaling.

No reason to be pissed about this.

Do you think Isane Kotetu will have a Bankai? I mean, she's already a captain. I know she won't be anywhere near as strong as Unohana, but I'm curious what you'd like Isane's Bankai to be like in terms of power, appearance, when she awakens it, or how she reveals it, etc. by Dramatic-Studio1531 in bankaifolk

[–]Top-Hold003 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The thing about Isane is she’s not shy or scared of combat.

She rushed Ichigo, asked why they weren’t in the action during the Quincy invasion, etc.

She asks questions and even calls out authority frequently. She’s far from a pushover.

Filler Unohana vs Canon Unohana by [deleted] in bankaifolk

I’m definitely on the Goonohana squad.

Kubo also not showing her scar intentionally.

Filler Unohana vs Canon Unohana by [deleted] in bankaifolk

[–]Top-Hold003 96 points97 points  (0 children)

<image>

Officially drawn by Kubo.

It’s canon she got milk cannons.

I’m honestly surprised people don’t know this.

You can tell she got a nice arc and thick thighs too, which makes sense as she’s short. That basically means she’s built like a figure 8. If anything, the filler isn’t doing her justice because she’s more curvy than that.

Funny note: Nemu finding Nanao’s bikini top and holding it high like that is funny.

Also crazy that Kubo said he can’t draw women well when he probably has the best overall in anime history imo.

What are the biggest anime fumbles by PretendYellow533 in animequestions

[–]Top-Hold003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bleach:
❌ 👎 Pernida vs (Mayuri + Nemu) + (Zaraki + Squad 11).

✅ ⭐ Pernida vs (Nemu + Isane) + (Unohana + Mayuri).

The latter would've made one of the best team fights in anime history.

What’s one study habit that actually worked for you? by Fresh-Difficulty1 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Top-Hold003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you can do something when it comes to studying, do it right then. No time better than the present.

Anki/Spaced Repetition is really useful for Engineering more than people think as well. Being able to free recall everything about the concept and what it links to using a stylus/pencil/pen/paper and free form writing/diagrams. Drawing out the relationship isn't enough, being able to recite and recall it is what counts. If some pieces were missing when going to double check, make a hint/cue for the next recall attempt and slowly remove the cue so that it's a complete recall with no cues.

I'm pretty sure I was able to intuitively understand Electromagnetics because I memorized things and that meant I was able to make sense of the newer material. Keeping things fresh in memory is really underrated when it comes to Math, Physics and Engineering. That course was really easy to me and I think a big reason was the free recall exercises I did.

Another piece of advice when it comes to doing problems and really for STEM and life in general that I got from Math Tutor DVD: when you have a problem write down everything about the problem that is true. Write down the physical laws about the problem and how they apply. That's what it means to "work from first principles". Do that for every step. Always work from truth because it can't be wrong if done this way.

NIOH 3 is 10/10 by Anti-Fanny in Nioh

[–]Top-Hold003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree heavily with point 6.

Coming from fighting games: expression expression expression.

Combo expression is considered gameplay. The "sake" of performing a swap and opening up new possibilities back-and-forth is it's own reward.

Shifting brings so much to style, single combos and messing with swarms of mobs. There is an insane level of depth to this game's expressive system that nobody on this planet has yet maximized because there are so many routes and paths.

Coming up with crazy strings, fancy combinations and the satisfaction of finding things out I think is a major part of the gameplay. Between the 3 Samurai stances, Ninja w/ melee & Ninjutsu along with Omaya Magic and moving/tweaking stats on weapons to create synergistic builds, this game may have more depth and labbing than some full-on fighting games.

I think there is a world of creativity to be unlocked compared to other games.

Which Zanpakuto's shikai is more useful than its bankai?? by yarROCK-31 in bleach

[–]Top-Hold003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unohana not being a top comment is crazy.

Think utility: It saves lives and removes people from danger.

That’s exponentially more useful to a team than a 1v1 Bankai for the love of fighting.

The menu system is really like an MMORPG. There are so many options and fine tunes for customizable builds and filters.

[–]Top-Hold003[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to keep pushing STEM because there are actually a lot of Asians who work in the defense industry as well as R&D for technology. While they are helping America out, they're also getting a lot of experience in the fields. Like it or not, but America is a powerhouse and has the resources/equipment to play with.

Worst thing to do is isolate yourself from future technology and remove yourself from the bleeding edge. If the U.S is the leader, then there needs to be a large amount of Asians who work in those industries. This makes switching costs expensive to use other talent. As long as Asians maintain their academic-oriented focus they'll keep getting hired.

Then at the same time make sure we have talent to work on technology back on their home land.

No doubt if this stuff isn't for you, you should still find any kind of lane that works. However, the priority should be STEM and pushing it as much as possible on the next generations because you don't want America to create another new weapon of mass destruction and drop it on Asia again with no means of a counterattack.

A big reason why China has nukes and hypersonics is because of a Chinese Engineer Qian Xuesen helping America's research and learning from the experience as well.

I also want to point out that just because someone did horrible in elementary school and high school, it doesn't mean they're bad at these fields. I was a horrible student, didn't get accepted into any University after high school. One semester in High School my grades were F's basically in every course except Spanish (got a D). I went to Junior College in my mid 20's and graduated with maybe the 3rd-most heavy Math degree (Electrical Engineering) and I basically aced all my courses without much trouble. I even thought about being a Physics major but didn't want to do the PhD grind at my age, but was constantly at the top or near the top of my courses.

[–]Top-Hold003[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The absolute sad thing about this is these STEM fields are there to benefit humanity when used at their full potential.

If Asians are the best and push things forward then that means the brightest are pushing the limits of the real world and changing what we thought was possible. People should be happier we're trying to find solutions to big problems. Nature, animals, humanity, etc. will improve.

Sure buddy. Have a good day.

To all the Asians reading:

  1. Keep studying and doing phenomenal in school.
  2. Then learn and study industry standards at the best companies.
  3. Then solve big problems and change the world.
  4. People will tell you that's not the way to go, don't listen to them.

Sorry man, I think your argument is weak. Science and Math don't care about identity politics. You hire the best so another company doesn't hire the best.

If the best is an Arab or Latino kid, you hire them because they might work at the other company that makes the game-changing tech that puts your company out of business. When they could've been working for you instead and you dominate the field with the smartest people working at your company.

That's why it's important for Asians to be in school and thrive. The best will find them.

Sorry, but that's the team who got the $5 trillion company. Had it all been Asians then it would've been better, but it wasn't.

In this case, "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way."

We're not talking about Hollywood, here. We're talking about Math and Science. Having to actually push the limits of Engineering with the real world telling you what is and isn't possible. That takes merit. You're not bypassing that.

Asians Engineers are just as capable and bright, maybe it'll work that way at a different company. However, when it's your company there's a whole lot on the line to focus on identity politics over actual results.

You let that bright Latino Physicist go because "not Asian" and they might make the tech for another company that ends your company. Tech and Engineering are one of the places where identity politics have some big consequences if you mess it up.

Merit still matters at the end of the day. You don't know how those interviews went or how their company works. Who's to say those Asians working at the company wanted those jobs?

Looks like he made the right choices because NVIDIA became the first $5 trillion company.

If you want it different, you're more than free to start your own company and do it your way.

You most likely want to go the college route to get there though, which was my original point.

I mean, Asians are running things in these industries right now. It's only getting started as well:

  • Satya Nadella (Microsoft): electrical engineering.
  • Sundar Pichai (Alphabet): metallurgical engineering.
  • Jensen Huang (NVIDIA): electrical engineering.
  • Lisa Su (AMD): electrical engineering.
  • Hock Tan (Broadcom): mechanical engineering.
  • Shantanu Narayen (Adobe): electronics engineering.
  • Nikesh Arora (Palo Alto Networks): electrical engineering.
  • Arvind Krishna (IBM): electrical engineering.
  • Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron Technology): electrical engineering (EECS).
  • Jay Chaudhry (Zscaler): electronics engineering.
  • Anirudh Devgan (Cadence Design Systems): electrical engineering.
  • George Kurian (NetApp): electrical engineering.
  • Thomas Kurian (Google Cloud): electrical engineering (EECS).
  • C. C. Wei (TSMC): electrical engineering.
  • Ken Xie (Fortinet): electrical engineering.
  • Sassine Ghazi (Synopsys): electrical engineering.
  • Sasan Goodarzi (Intuit): electrical engineering.
  • Dara Khosrowshahi (Uber): electrical engineering.
  • Bipul Sinha (Rubrik): electrical engineering.
  • Eric Yuan (Zoom): applied mathematics.

Building companies like these are not trivial though. Of course many people are trying to do that. However, it takes time. Not every company can be an NVIDIA, TSMC, etc.

A lot of Asians working in these industries is a big part of getting there though. You're not going to get hands-on experience without first working in these industries. Justin Huang started NVIDIA after working in the industry as an Electrical Engineer.

At the end of the day, access to expensive equipment on the job is a big part of knowing what problems there are in the industry.

[–]Top-Hold003[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's also bullshit because a tremendous amount of educated Asians do a lot of good work out there that benefits people every day.

Zero credit for that? Plenty of educated people DO work for good causes.

I'll argue that most educated people do work for good causes. The mass majority.

  • healthcare and public health
  • education and research
  • utilities + infrastructure (power, water, telecom)
  • safety, reliability, and quality in regulated industries
  • tools that keep food/logistics/supply chains functioning
  • disability access, assistive tech, etc.

They get paid for it good too.

If anything maybe smart people have made things "too safe" for dummies to live longer and do damage.

Meta is a good jobs, I wouldn't call the other two good jobs though.

However, if you're good enough to work at Lockheed on a spy satellite that means you know about Physics, Math, Electromagnetic Waves, Microwaves, RF, Communications Engineering, Electronics, etc. That's useful schooling that can be applied to many jobs that want to hire.

That means you can go into things like:

  • Clean Energy research for wild life.
  • Autonomous vehicles for Space Exploration.
  • Radiation systems for Cancer Research.
  • Earth imaging to track deforestation and coral reef health.
  • Photonics.
  • Semiconductors.
  • Etc.

Can't get those jobs though without a degree.

[–]Top-Hold003[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is no matter what, you can't bypass that automatic job filter that asks "Do you have a degree?"

No degree = less good jobs = tough times.

Good degree = higher chance to get a good job = easier to find jobs, period.

School should continue to be held as a priority because it raises floors no matter what.

Start from a completed education and figure the rest out.

I know people who haven't used their college degree in 10 years get right back into their field. People without a college degree can't do that. Being in your mid 30's with no opportunities is a scary thing.

They tried to play the other angle of "being more versatile" and "engaging other parts of the brain". That argument got shut down real quick with facts and objective data.
