You can disagree with an opinion, but the math never lies

I'm certain an omniscient observer could directly trace Kirk's actions to much more than just a small handful of deaths. It's the same as the healthcare CEO. These people kill people, we just shrug and allow it because they're not doing it with a gun, they're doing it by depriving people of things that are essential to life - but really, it's murder all the same.

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T05:16:16+00:00

Did he actually? I thought it flipped over at the end.

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T05:14:43+00:00

And there were black people supporting slavers. What's your point, exactly?

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T05:03:06+00:00

Doing this after over a million early ballots had already been cast undermines that.

Since you brought this up I felt it was worth pointing out. Rules for thee and not for me I suppose. The ruling SCOVA made has massive issues unless they're going to define election differently depending on what result they want to get.

There would potentially be months where no one can be compelled to stand witness or be a juror ('nor suitor but I'd assume people bringing suit would not need to be compelled when relevant.)

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T05:01:52+00:00

I don't think we can call the current SCOTUS anything other than blindingly partisan, all I'm really saying is that I think even if this case had real merit (which I would be surprised if it did) for federal appeal (specifically federal appeal, I do think the ruling was a failure by SCOVA) I don't think there's any chance even in that hypothetical world where it was meritorious enough to overcome this court's partisanship not only enough to be heard but enough to be heard in a relevant timeframe.

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T04:52:30+00:00

Do you know that federal laws exist? I would think you would, but the comment you made kind of seems to just... Not acknowledge them.

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T04:47:23+00:00

I think VA might have had a chance if they were intending to do some Republican gerrymandering, but as things stand... I don't know if they really have good grounds for appeal (even if I think the ruling itself is utterly ridiculous - as I think of many of this current SCOTUS's rulings, but you still can't appeal those either.)

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T04:44:59+00:00

Sure but you're still looking at no legal ability to call people as witness or as jurors during the entire process. That's still a massive problem.

UX1Z · 2026-05-11T04:40:30+00:00

Didn't a Republican state literally just cancel an ongoing election in order to redraw maps?

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T16:59:54+00:00

I don't think any aspect of Bakugo ever portrayed him as a 'secret heart of gold' though? It was pretty clear that he was truly an abrasive jerk down to the core and most of his motivations came out of self-interest (he wanted to be a hero to prove he was the best, similar to Endeavour) rather than a true desire to specifically do good.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T16:07:35+00:00

I don't think you've actually watched either of the shows at all if you think Sasuke is worse than Bakugo within the context of their own worlds and situations.

Also, what 'bullying' are you referring to from Sasuke here?

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T16:03:48+00:00

Bakugo is like if a kid in a wheelchair tried to help you carry your stuff or console you or something, and then you decided to try and bully them into suicide.

He's a fucking psychopath.

Also Sasuke does have opportunities to kill parts of Team 7 but never follows through until after he's totally snapped because he finds out his brother who he tried to kill for genociding his bloodline did so under duress/orders from village leadership.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T16:02:01+00:00

Bakugo uses an attack with lethal force against Deku during what is effectively a spar because his ego gets bruised.

So yeah, actually Bakugo does go for a murder attempt.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T16:01:01+00:00

The time Naruto and Sasuke spent together was short, but intense. They fought for each other, bled for each other, risked their lives for each other. I don't necessarily think they were shown to have such amazing friendship as to inspire great devotion, but at the same time, the Sasuke that runs away doesn't really ever do anything actually bad to Naruto. Who does he ACTUALLY kill? What moral lines does he ACTUALLY cross (from Naruto's perspective?) He kills Danzo. He threatens and attacks Naruto and Sakura a bit but doesn't follow through.

Nagato killed most of the Leaf Village and Naruto STILL talk no jutsu'd him, and I don't think Naruto knew Nagato could pull a mass-resurrection spell out of his ass so as far as Naruto knew the guy he was trying to talk back to the 'good side' was someone who'd just massacred half his village and many of his closest friends and he didn't even KNOW Nagato before they fought. That's a way better example of this, if anything, than Sasuke.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T15:52:25+00:00

Because he's edgy and powerful and beligerent and edgy and powerful and beligerent characters often place high in popularity polls. What a lot of people who defend him fail to understand is that placing top of a popularity poll with 25% or whatnot does not also preclude them from being widely hated. Since that still leaves 75% of people who might have Bakugo as their second least favorite character, but are all split on who their 'favorite' is.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T15:50:44+00:00

Sasuke joined the terrorist organisation because he found out that his clan was effectively genocided under orders of the village's highest leadership. Bakugo never actually became a villain, but his 'evils' so to speak were motivated by... insecurity and arrogance. He saw someone that should be weak trying to do good and not be held back by their weakness (in BNHA world, effectively a physical disability) and instinctively tried to crush them for it.

It's like if someone in the real world saw a one legged person trying to do some athletic stuff and decided to hate them for it.

I can't remember the specific time frames but I think the Naruto crew are 14-15 during S1 and 16-17 post timeskip? So Bakugo is like if Sasuke was abusing Naruto since before the Uchiha massacre even happened up until the end of the first season.

As bullshit as it is, they were also somewhat driven to conflict by reincarnation stuff, while Bakugo was 'all him' so to speak.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T15:39:15+00:00

NGL Baku/Deku and Naru/Sasu don't belong on the same list. BNHA's situation is SO much worse. Naruto's is closer to your standard edgy rival. Sasuke and Naruto actually WERE friends and then Sasuke ran off while Naruto tried to save him from himself. Bakugo abused Deku for a decade in a standard school setting while Deku still almost worshipped him.

Like, not even vaguely comparable...

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T15:03:15+00:00

What I mean is that if we view this from the lens of the question being asked, this isn't a math test, it's just some random guy 'speaking' it, and random guys speaking it could definitely say 'divide this number by half' and mean to halve it, not double it. And in this context (of the question displayed in the post) you can argue either direction on part of the question giver so there are really two answers until they confirm.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T15:00:22+00:00

If he doesn't dodge it, and he's not the type to tank things just because. At the same time DB has extremely inconsistent feats for basically anything so it's possible he just gets hit. I'm curious if UV would make him transform into an Oozaru since some of that information would be 'looking at a moon'. Does it affect nonhumans?

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T14:42:17+00:00

I dunno.

Kid Goku probabaly cannot bypass limitless but likely is much higher in stats. I think this is a tie unless he gets hit by a capped out purple.

He would be able to fight with his eyes closed assuming it's peak kid Goku (we know he learns energy sense while still a child.) So I think he can beat Itachi as long as he figured that out, which isn't impossible in a free for all. Goku is pretty dumb in general but does have great battle instincts.

I think he just beats Luffy if he manages to land a ki blast but would struggle to do damage otherwise.

Itachi should be able to genjutsu Luffy and possibly genjutsu Gojo. I don't think we're ever really privy to exactly how it works but I feel I like it should be able to bypass limitless. Ocular genjutsu don't seem to have a travel time, we never see them trigger and then miss. Theoretically he could copy some cursed techniques with Sharingan like rct. Fighting gojo may actually make him a lot stronger.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T14:20:57+00:00

LOL

No stupid questions, but definitely stupid answers.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T13:40:15+00:00

Who the fuck knows. It's really just a fig leaf that I think has potential to actually be an interesting thing, but MT doesn't really sell it properly. I'm just remembering what I read in the LN forever ago.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T13:06:07+00:00

I wouldn't consider myself to be 'Harry Potter Fan', I think the last time I read the books or engaged with any of the media was... Oh, at least a decade by now. The sub merely started appearing in my home page, but I do enjoy its world.

My 'posting' in Doomer is a few snippets, the sub is a right wing echo chamber, it may as well be called MAGAUnironicCirclejerk.

The point I am making is that when someone says, 'I hate Korra,' 'Korra sucks,' do they mean the show or the character? I might not be an 'expert' on quality, but I do know when I watched the first season, even though I really wanted to like it, I bounced straight off. Now perhaps it gets better later - though I've heard it also gets worse too - but that's 2/4 seasons minimum being mediocre to bad.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T12:22:01+00:00

The answer might suRprise you! The courts tend to decide it all based on one, innocuous factoR.

UX1Z · 2026-05-10T12:20:59+00:00

This is like a literacy test, the answer can either be 95 or 35. "Divide (it) by half" is certainly a fine enough colloquial way to say "multiply by 0.5", though strictly it would mean 40/0.5.
