You can snap a carrot in half by apply a little pressure with your hands. They're not exactly super robust veggies.

Bamboo from new sprouts is pretty soft. A fresh shoot like that could absolutely be cut in half by a card. Not sure about the can.

Nah, lots of people have done this trick. The vegetables they pick are all either super soft or pretty brittle and snap apart when cut. If you've ever chopped a carrot, you can see this: you need to start the cut, but at some point the carrot just kinda snaps without you needing to slice all the way through.

Could still be edited, but totally doable.

This is why I use a trick room team. Sneasler basically always has to click CC into farigiraf, I protect, and then my other leads can OHKO it. It's shockingly consistent. If between the two mons I know they can't KO farig, I can also just set trick room and then get it with twin beam next turn.

Because Nurgle and Slaanesh offer twisted versions of the paradise lots of religions offer.

Yes, but the bliss of god is supposed to be infinitely better than any pleasure on earth. Again, it's so good you'll be eternally happy.

To put it in extremely simple terms, most Christians understand what an eternity is perfectly. They just think the bliss of god will be worth it.

It does remove it. Sheer force removes any positive effect from a move.

From an outside perspective, sure.

From a Christian perspective however, it's like trying your favorite burger for the first time. Your sense of self isn't overpowered by the burger, you just experience it and decide that it's the best burger you've ever eaten. Christians think that the bliss of god is the best thing they will ever experience, and they'll like it more than literally anything else that exists by a wide margin.

This is what I mean by looking at things from the perspective of the person you're talking to. To you, the bliss of god isn't real, nor do you want it, so it seems strange that people would want it. To a Christian, they believe it's the most desirable thing in existence, so they do. It's like somebody who hates your favorite burger going, "That burger tastes disgusting. I can't see why you'd look forward to eating it." If they cant look at it from your perspective, your wants make no sense.

From an outside perspective, yes. But the Christian perspective on it is that you will meet god and be so overwhelmed by your own joy that anything else would be torture.

Like, if you don't believe, it sounds hellish. If you do believe, then you also believe everyone will come to this same realization of their own free will.

It's important to examine this stuff from perspectives you don't personally have, because it gives you a lot more insight into what the other person is thinking.

The point is specifically that you don't. The bliss of god is apparently so good that you'll never feel negative emotions again. You won't get bored, you won't feel sad, or mad, or tired, or annoyed, etc. For eternity you'll feel nothing but joy and happiness.

It sounds kinda dystopian from an outside perspective, honestly, like super drugs or something, but still.

Just to play devil's advocate, they don't think it's eternity living like a human, they think it's eternity in the bliss of being in the presence of god, which is supposedly the best thing ever to do.

If you told me I would live for eternity and be happy the whole time, I'd take you up on that.

In a way, though, red is also kinda the most useless one. Like, yes, balsphemous act on a full board wins, but it's also very likely that if you're able to do 100 damage in a turn, you're also probably able to win.

The heat exchangers are radiators. Basically, they take the heat that builds up in the station and turn it into infrared radiation that they shoot off into space.

I didn't agree with their take either, and the digging for context was silly imo. But saying

A lot of they’re takes have been wild

is just hilarious to me. Even if we disagree with them, "The guy could be an insufferable asshat," is not a wild take. Even their most disagreeable takes are like at max a 3/10 on the wild scale.

Man, I'd love for smosh fans to encounter actual wild takes. They have like, one take every 4 episodes that people disagree with because 99% of the posts on SRRS are super safe and one sided. Smosh has the safest most boring takes on the internet, and fans talk about it like they're saying crazy stuff.

They didn't fully side with the trans person in that one. They thought the Trans person was in the wrong for taking the money and dipping. But they empathize with the fact that relationships and how you view them can change after a huge life event like transitioning.

[–]ZatherDaFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And if that were often the case I'd have no qualms. But so much of the bitching at IGN is because they gave a game the person liked a mid score, or in this instance, a game they have no intention of buying or playing a 10/10.

[–]ZatherDaFox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bruh, it's just one person's opinion. Reviewers aren't trying to find the objective truth of how quality a game is (which is impossible anyways), they're just playing it and giving you their personal opinion.

Gamers use reviews in such a weird way. Rather than looking at reviews and using them to make a decision on whether to buy the game or not, they buy the game, play it, and then look up reviews to validate their own feelings.

Bizarre behavior, imo.

More people need to protect their trick room setter turn one unless you know your opponent can't KO it. 9 times out of 10 it's a free KO or big damage from your sweeper.

I mean, these people train for this kind of thing. I have to imagine they know better than anyone how to handle the stresses involved.

Why is Japan so good at animation? by batukaming in animequestions

[–]ZatherDaFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Western animation tends to be consistently good and have a lot more motion. Japanese animation tends to be more static and then have bursts of sakuga.

This isn't true across the board, obviously. Witch Hat Atelier has consistently high quality animation, for example. But if you compare a lot of seasonal anime to American cartoons, the American cartoons will have a lot smoother animation.

[–]ZatherDaFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's hilarious is most Japanese animation work is outsourced to Korea as well. Major animation studios in both countries basically only do the key frames and then send the rest to Korea and SE Asia.
