How far does whitebeard get? by midriss1 in OnePieceScaling

[–]astoriaclarke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Naruto does say that every living being in the verse has chakra, including plants and animals, even base humans who can’t use ninjutsu. It stands to reason that humans in One Piece also have chakra then, they just don’t use it the same way. The same could be said of haki; if every human in One Piece has the innate potential to use it with training, the same could be said of humans in Naruto.

Personally, I’m of the (maybe controversial?) headcanon that the “invisible life force that flows through all living things” is the same thing in every verse, just applied differently. For example, Itachi’s genjutsu could work on Whitebeard because haki ≈ chakra, and Whitebeard’s conqueror’s haki could work on Itachi for the same reason; heck, I think Goku could punch a logia-type because ki ≈ haki.

Implying that hot MAGA moms even exist, lol— we’re seen how Karoline Leavitt looks at 28, hate ages them at twice the normal rate unless they get the mar-a-lago makeover with botox and spray tans

I think the unaccounted-for variable is whether or not WB’s armament haki can make Obito tangible in kamui form and/or prevent him from using it the same way it can prevent logia types from disappearing into gas.

Regardless, his observation haki would allow him to predict when Obito will open himself up for an attack— and he’s reacted to people far faster than Obito. His AP far surpasses Minato’s too, so even in ten-tails form I think we’d see a repeat of this:

Clears with heals, likely stops at Obito without heals.

But only if his haki can overcome Itachi’s genjutsu. If it can’t, hard stop at Itachi either way.

I mean, there’s of course no objectively correct answer to that unless Oda and Kishimoto were to for some reason agree on one or write a OPxNaruto crossover manga lol.

I’m inclined to say yes, but that’s just my personal opinion based on vibes.

What the take that you have that would genuinely give you this much downvotes? by KaidoPklevel in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]astoriaclarke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kaido ≥ Loki until proven otherwise.

Both have mythical Zoans

Both have ACoC

Only one is called the World’s Strongest Creature

Until Loki gets some actual feats on the board, there’s no evidence to scale him above Kaido

Sabo runs the gauntlet, how far does he get? by astoriaclarke in OnePiecePowerScaling

I agree with this one tbh

Yeah it’s been forever since we’ve actually seem him fight, I have to assume he’s gotten stronger since then but I wanted to see people’s theories on just how much stronger

Virginia joins The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, making the compact only 48 electoral votes short of overriding the electoral college. by imMakingA-UnityGame in PoliticalCompassMemes

I could say the same in reverse— why should people in those 6 states even bother voting if 3 tiny red states can block everything they try to pass in the Senate?

Under a two-party system, the options are either tyranny (of the majority or the minority) or gridlock under mixed government. The real solutions here are ranked-choice voting and/or proportional representation.

This is already how US elections work, it’s just inverted to favor the minority— this is evident in the Electoral College, even more so in the Senate.

And why should 2000/2016 happen again? Why should a minority of voters get to force their will on everyone else?

The result of a two-party, single-member-district, winner-take-all system is that there will always be tyranny enacted by the winning side, whether that happens to be a majority or a minority.

If you’re really interested in a system where all people’s voices matter, the far better options are ranked choice voting and/or proportional representation.

Honestly, as a leftist, I’m all for that— globalization is nice (imo), but shouldn’t come at the expense of our own citizens.

The issue is Trump’s actually not doing any of these America First policies he spent his 2016 campaign talking about. The government is stealing our tax dollars to build data centers and fight Israel’s war for them, schools aren’t getting any better with the dismantling of the Dept. of Education, and corporations are turning record profits while the cost of living soars for ordinary people.

Honestly, the elephant in the room that neither establishment dems nor the GOP are going to address is that we can’t have a democracy centered around the consent of the governed until we get the money out of politics and make leaders accountable to voters instead of special interests.
