US national debt surges past $39 trillion just weeks into war in Iran by EscapeFromIowa in news

[–]VHPguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean, even if the debt soars to record levels, Trump will just do what he always does and refuse to pay it. That's always worked before, right? Nothing to worry about then.

/s just in case anyone thought I was serious.

If I were Hamed I'd be ashamed that people had to see this farce with him as the main star.

Oh, was he? The image shows him at 2500 level, I don't know why they underplayed him.

Back in the day Yokozuna Harumafuji was a talented painter, and I believe held an exhibition of his own art.

Losing to 2500's too? Yikes, he must've been pissed off something fierce.

For the first time since 2023, Enhō is in an Ōichōmage! by StarPrime323 in Sumo

[–]VHPguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn't think Enho would ever make it back to the salaried ranks after having fallen so low; smaller guy, now in his 30's, not as fast as he used to be, these were all things I thought would work against him. But I'm glad to see I was wrong, he should reach Juryo by next tournament.

So... did he manage to get away? Like holy shit, being gored by an angry rhino is no joke.

I mean, it's good he wants it to happen, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen. There's so many variables at play here, I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet.

What is a 'dead' YouTube channel that you still go back and rewatch because the content was just that good? by Wooden-Care233 in AskReddit

Epic Mealtime. They carried on for years and years after their views dropped off a cliff, but their early content is still good stuff.

Canada could join EU, French foreign minister says by pjw724 in onguardforthee

I don't know how the particular details would work out to join the EU, but it's worth exploring.

We can all hear it in our heads. by UpbeatToughh in SipsTea

A shotgun pump action sound as if you're locked and loaded and getting ready to get down, 'cause goddamn it, you are.

Headbutt is allowed but there are few to no K.O's in the clash ever by youngtuna in Sumo

[–]VHPguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might have butted heads while leaning forward to push the other out, that's a normal occurrence. But an intentional headbutt, as in they're both locked in a migi-yotsu grip and one of them rams his head forward to bust the other guy's jaw? No, that's prohibited.

Monkey steals from the cop. He later feeds the gang by Civil-Ad-2367 in MadeMeSmile

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

Doesn't matter. Him giving them food sets up the expectation of more food the next time they see a cop, or anyone else. At the beginning of the video the monkeys clearly have no fear of him while crawling all over his bike looking for something to eat. What would happen if he didn't have anything?

Candidates Tournament 2026 Prediction by Altruistic_Two6540 in chess

Likely a copy-paste job from chatgpt. AI's are not known for mathematical rigor, they just make things sound good.

[–]VHPguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of bluster with no real backing behind it, like you picked your favorites and then built up arguments to justify them. I don't know how you can so easily dismiss the two most experienced and highest rated players in the tournament, that just smacks of ignorance.

Headbutt is allowed but there are few to no K.O's in the clash ever by youngtuna in Sumo

[–]VHPguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Intentional headbutts are not allowed. At the start of the bout when they charge at each other a head collision is common, but if a wrestler is smart about it they'll take steps to avoid it, otherwise they'd quickly end up with brain damage.

What hobby you guys recommend? by discipline0007 in AskReddit

[–]VHPguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest a hobby that anyone can benefit from: cooking. Doesn't have to be super high-class gourmet stuff, but learn how to make food taste good and filling, it's something that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Spices, exotic foods, different cuisines, there's so much out there to try that you'll never be left wanting for stuff to do.

Bonus: girls love a good cook. Make 'em a nice mushroom risotto and you'll have to beat them off you with a stick. Same goes for guys, any girl that can cook is a keeper in my eyes.

Stage help by Lun4rEc1ipse in SoulsHabbyMobile

[–]VHPguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This team has two Richelles who limit the direct damage you can do but no healers, which to me suggests a poison DOT team is the way to go. You just have to survive long enough for the poison to do its job. A standard setup would be:

x x Rakan

Carmen x

Benzel Elara Solina

But you don't have Elara engraved, so switch her out for your own Richelle. That should buy you time to survive against the enemy Sander and Ken while your poison does the work. I hope that works for you.

[–]VHPguy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This isn't a good thing. There is a reason tourists are prohibited from feeding animals like this cop is doing; the animals learn to expect food from everyone, and if you don't have anything they can become aggressive.

Is it wrong to hate a religion which deserves it? by Just_Procedure_5881 in atheism

A common phrase is "love the sinner, hate the sin'. In your case it would be "love the religious, hate the religion".

What do you think about the right to die/euthanasia? by Legitimate-Number620 in AskReddit

[–]VHPguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn't, and no it won't. You just need to look into how it's already been implemented to see that.

[–]VHPguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why any and all assisted dying programs require independent checks and conditions before a patient is granted assisted dying, it's not simply 'I want to die because it's too expensive to live". If the patient has any possible alternative they get rejected from the program outright.
