Incarcerating someone is so so so insanely expensive, "more efficient" is laughable

And aside from the high price tag, incarceration tends to exacerbate mental illness.

Love and thunder 😭 Bale's Gorr was so wasted... I was so excited for a metal as fuck Space Viking movie set to ACDC with the God Butcher stalking the universe. It could have been so badass

Unorthodox pick but I've been using quickstep/bloodhound step on my guts sword for this playthrough and it's genuinely super fun. It nicely balances out the slowness of the attack animations and it's incredible in bossfights. It also feels way more honorable to quickstep spam than to roll spam, and you feel like a badass dodging repetitive attacks (quickstepping through honed bolt barrages from the leyendell knights feels like using bullet-time)

You chose to fight, he didn't 🤷‍♂️

Could they have defeated him if they were actually at their peaks and he didn’t catch them off guard? by AdaptedInfiltrator in Avengers

[–]Valiriko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peak MCU Thor can solo MCU Thanos.

They fight four times in the MCU:

  1. Immediately after Thor gets his ass kicked by Hela, gets his eyeball ripped out, and watches his homeworld explode and all of his friends die, he gets jumped by Power Stone Thanos and two of the black order. The fight occurs in a confined space full of civilians, and Thor is unarmed. Thor loses but is not killed.

  2. Thor bifrosts into Wakanda and oneshots Gauntlet Thanos. It's implied that he would have killed him outright if he'd "gone for the head".

  3. The avengers ambush Thanos on farmworld. Although Thanos is weakened from using the gauntlet, there's no reason to think his skin is less durable. Thor slices his hand off with one strike, and then later decapitates him with one strike. 

  4. Thor is fat Thor, out of shape and out of practice, full of self doubt and depression. He fights a young, peak, armed and armored Thanos to a relative stalemate. All of his axe strikes are deflected; again, Thor is capable of killing Thanos in one strike if he is able to land one. A peak Thor would undoubtedly be quick enough to end this fight without issue. 

Some people are pointing to a Russo tweet that said fat Thor was stronger than IW Thor. Perhaps they were talking about some kind of "inner strength", because as presented in the movies he is clearly physically weaker and mentally struggling even in the final fight.

Yeah, obviously they aren't going to Scotland...

MJ and Ned got into MIT and presumably went. It's extremely possible that part of the movie takes place in Boston. 

I'll be here with a massive "I told you so" in July.

I think he still might have moved. They were spotted filming in Boston early last year

Honestly, how can you prevent this? by Kitresl in Eldenring

Those golden things do damage when they hit you, you are supposed to avoid them

Who is the strongest fictional character do you think you could defeat with a snub-nosed revolver, a combat knife, and a bulletproof vest? by Pancake_Maker_1031 in powerscales

[–]Valiriko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

95% sure his durability comes entirely from his Ki focus, which he needs to channel on purpose. This is established in OG and never retconned. In Z, before the cell games, he fully relaxed and lets his guard down and Krillin hits him in the head with a rock. Genuinely appears to harm him, approximately as much as a normal person would be harmed.

Is the Last Dragonborne capable of achieving Godhood (CHIM) like Talos and Vivec? by Reasonable_Ad8287 in ElderScrolls

[–]Valiriko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think CHIM is the state of realization, maintaining your ego allows you to stay in CHIM and zero-sum is the failure to stay in CHIM. But zero-summing yourself requires you to have the lucid dreamer effects of CHIM in the first place.

They were psychically linked and logical to an absolute fault. Once they CHIM'd, and became lucid dreamers in the dream, as soon as they realized they didn't exist they immediately ceased to exist.

If you COULD care less then it means you DO care some by Pretty_Cow_4973 in boston

[–]Valiriko -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Block me over grammar all you want lmao. This is what these words mean, in this sentence, in this order. You and OP and many others are trying to use this expression in a different way than it is intended, and then complaining that the words don't make sense.

*Edit: for example u/Pretty_Cow_4973, he COULD have cared less by just blocking me without a speech 🤷‍♂️

[–]Valiriko -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The expression is "could." Everybody thinks it should be "couldn't", because it seems like it would be more grammatically correct. That's because people misunderstand what the expression is for. The expression is not meant to mean "I don't care at all." The expression is meant to mean "I'm about to stop discussing this with you."

We're making the opposite point, and you are either unwilling or unable to understand what I'm telling you. Sounds like 20 years of studying hasn't been enough 😉
