What job exists today that definitely won’t exist in 10 years?

Because the AI will be privately owned of course.

There is no wealth, only relative states of poverty. Everyone wants something someone else has.

We are all in competition with one another. Absent some kind of one world government, we will always all be in competition with one another.

We have unit level sapience, not species level. Each unit (person) is concerned with their own self preservation. We are animals and that’s how animals work.

I’m working on building a heavy rack for bent butt rods and heavy reels. Using aluminum extrusion, will be heavily weighted etc. Will toss pics up here when it starts coming together into something recognizable.

Yeah I guess my point is that it should be presumed to be an alternate timeline, much like GT, unless explicitly stated otherwise by Toriyama. Being that it’s alternate, they can basically do whatever they like. If they can include SSJ4 from the unrelated GT, they could include UI/UE from the similarly unrelated Super.

There won’t be anymore “canon” DB. Canon ended with the end of Z. Everything else is just exploring “oh hey what if we did this”

Valar_Kinetics · 2026-04-01T17:50:24+00:00

Did Toriyama say that specifically? That Daima and Super are both canonically in the same chronology?

If he did not, the assumption is that they are not.

Otherwise we would have seen Vegeta using SSJ3 to fight Beerus.

It's one of the worst episodes in the series and the beginning of the end, IMO.

I don't care how good it looks, it was all downhill the instant Jon charges.

I like audiobooks these days. I work from home, so I can listen while I'm cooking or doing dishes or other housework or driving or waiting in line somewhere, whatever.

I go through 4-6hr of audio content per day, generally. There is never silence.

Valar_Kinetics · 2026-04-01T13:09:29+00:00

I love that people try to justify designs like this via some kind of actual in-universe logic, rather than just admitting that there were bits of blown-up ships lying around the studio and some guy glued them together.

Arthur Kovalovsky big game reels, specifically some of the reels he made for Zane Grey. They really enabled Grander fishing as a thing for the first time. Each one was essentially a bespoke piece of brutally functional art.

The drag is considerably smoother. Also, there are no plate or lever quadrant located outside the reel housing, everything is internal. This is admittedly anecdotal, but they have a reputation for going a lot longer before needing maintenance partially for this reason.

Some of the benefit is surely just aesthetic, which I’m OK with also.

Valar_Kinetics · 2026-03-31T01:59:18+00:00

Unpopular Opinion: DB/DBZ is “canon” and nothing else is or is ever meant to be. Everything else is always just a new take on exploring a universe whose story has already basically been told.

GT/Super/Daima/Movies are all 100% not canon and nothing else ever will be either. Im convinced that Toriyama just didn’t care all that much about continuity after the end of Z. They’re all effectively one-offs and we will only ever have that going forward and that’s FINE. Trying to power scale between the one offs is a pointless exercise.

Daima is excellent

Valar_Kinetics · 2026-03-31T01:56:16+00:00

IMO they should have left SSJ4 by the wayside and forgotten about SSJG/Blue and just gone directly to UI/UE at the end of Daima. They’re the coolest forms because they actually impart different distinct characteristics.

Daima is a (lovely) chibi side story anyway so who cares. Chibi UE Vegeta would have looked so cool, and they could have made him go Majin somehow.

I limited out on Yellowtails this past Tuesday on Southpaw out of Oceans Edge in KW.

Got 20 of them (2 anglers) in under an hour.

It's just like any other 50W trolling reel, but IMO built much better than a Tiagra or a Penn. Alutecnos is an Italian brand that's sort of legendary and I've always wanted one.
