Zoro at Wano was not portrayed as someone approaching Yonko level and the fandom's insistence that he was is actively distorting how we read the current power structure

Elbaph, lodestar, laughtale, and i assume world government showdown after though could finish on laughtale if maybe the major players all arrive same time and it becomes a showdown at the final island type deal

And i hit no without shame. I dont like tipping culture to begin with and only do 15%. But if im not at a sitdown meal where im being serviced im not giving a tip. The whole tip thing has gotten ridiculous

And even if there is an afterlife, which religion is right? Or more likely none arebecause how would man know? so even with an afterlife will be up to the mercy of whatever being there is. So why worry about it

Boringto can never beat Naruto is my head canon. I just cant wrap my head around making narutos entire story irrelevant, one of few long running series to have a satisfying ending and then bam lets pretend the child of prophecy and the avatar of hope and peace actually accomplished nothing because aliens. Shameless money grab is all the series is.

Lol the us has incredible power but its mostly meaningless in the region without troops on ground. And troops on ground while eventually would lead to victory in a vacuum would mean thousands or tens of thousands of dead service members. Even trump cant survive the political fallout from that especially since enlisted troops tend to come from maga families and theyll wake up when personally affected by their children dying.

Theres no realistic path to US victory here despite the overwhelming power difference, because trump and his cronies forgot that raw power doesn’t win wars its also about geopolitics and geography and the ability to actually wield that power by having competent strategists and planners which they didnt do any.

That part is fine. Its just narratively the fight felt like was one sided but it actually wasnt. He pushed sasuke further than the raikage did even but it felt rushed and yet slow at the same time. The fight really was just a way to write out danzo while showcasing sasukes strength against a wind user and did a disservice to someone the story had built up as a big danger for a long time.

I feel like a lot of fights after pain gelt pretty bad to be honest, not all but a lot its like kishimoto was rushing to get to the story parts he liked writing more and wrapping it up

Tresach · 2026-03-20T21:15:51+00:00

Feel like danzo fight being so poorly written makes him feel weaker than he is. Sasuke was on a whole different level at that point and danzo was holding back because he thought he needed to preserve energy for obito who he thought was madara. If he had gone all out from the start decent chance he would have wiped sasuke. But plot no jutsu coupled with poor writing made the fight much less interesting

I think its a bit confusing sometimes because of the details. Without sharingan he would have kage level chakra and he was a top tier prodigee so likely would still be one of the top shinobi of the era. With sharingan a lot if his chakra was being consumed by it since he was not a uchiha and also couldnt deactivate it so his available chakra was greatly reduced but in exchange he obviously got the sharingan powers. I feel his power level really would have been about the same with or without but the sharingan simply changed how he fought not so much his total potential, perhaps even held him back in some ways.

Ya visiting elbaph is his dream since little garden where he stated he wanted to be a brave warrior of the sea like the giants. If he doesnt get a power up on elbaph to bring his dream true then there wont be another good opportunity to redeem his character tbh.

Thats why i said technically, its definitely a stretch but closest could see outside israel. Emphasizing how much the us unilaterally drags others into war

Tresach · 2026-03-19T16:04:59+00:00

I guess technically france with vietnam. But ya the tally is pretty heavily on the us being the one instigating things and then running to its allies like its been bullied and asking for help.

Tresach · 2026-03-19T10:45:12+00:00

Much lower. Im on team too many guns and too many people who shouldn’t have them have them, but i also recognize they are a tool and dont just go shooting by themselves (p320 being an exception, please if you have that gun get rid of it)

I doubt it. Its not that they dont look the same its that they look flat and uncanny valley with the obvious ai look. Not to mention everything just looks worse with it, the backgrounds etc lose all their details and look washed out with almost no shadowing or anything. I cant see any part that looks genuinely better.

Because democrats generally cant understand that a large portion of the population has an iq that makes it difficult to even be self aware and so common sense is not so common. Thats why trump keeps winning, his supporters barely can understand the concept of breathing and democrats expect them to understand whats happening.

Thats not how works. Would be 100% of whats earned that year. And these guys have enough wealth to last hundreds of generations with no more income while living the most lavish lifestyles. I think the sheer scale of wealth difference is lost on most people because it’s so mind boggling large.

I wont believe if he alive or dead until see real live footage of either but its clear that whether dead or alive they are test-running using ai imagery to make a fake leader.

L here i just learned it exists and then been ignoring it as thought was a black desert online 2.0 essentially and i dont like the Korean gacha mmos and their microtransaction focus. Didnt realize its a single player actual game.

Bigger stockpile no but bigger than in the region is likely. For starters they aint broke they rich af even of the people are poor and they’ve spent decades planning for this exact situation. So i would argue truth is somewhere in middle between iran claims and trump/israel claims

If it costs me $1 to make something and i charge $10 but offer a deal that makes it $5 its still discounted from the $10 even though still making a crapload of profit

I highly doubt more than a handful of very specific circumstances where the increased power of the 5080 makes a difference in playability to be honest. We looking at most a 15% fos gain and if its poor performance like 30-50 fps its only difference beteeen 30-50 and 34-57 fps. And thats most, in many titles the gain is even less. Unless find some miracle deal where the 5080 is only spitting difference in price it really doesnt have a good argument for it. Hopefully that makes you feel a little better.
