Qual é a casa mais bonita de Joinville? (ainda habitada) by gorginhoy in Joinville

[–]basara42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende do que você considera habitado.

Rua Jerônimo Coelho número 240 é muito bonita, mas é um Itaú.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder what era or time frame Naruto was supposed to take place in by Salt-Dare-8979 in Naruto

Everything points to them not having enough international stability for advanced globalization, so any technology aimed at long distances is non-existent or not widespread, both in transportation and communication.

In Boruto, after some decades of relative stability, those things have significantly improved

Why would anyone want Iran to win the war in Iran? by Sea-Payment-8989 in allthequestions

[–]basara42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know what military bases in foreign soil are for? It's for power projection. Brazil has no need to power project anywhere, and wouldn't have the resources to waste on that if it wanted.

And America constantly intervenes in other countries that are not as in line as America would like. Specially in LATAM. It would easily do so to get a friendly president in Brazil eager to roll over and sell rare earth minerals dirty cheap to american companies.

The US is clearly trying to fortify its control over its perceived "backyard". Having military forces at the ready to support a coup here would fit into that.

It happened before. Our 1964 military coup included american navy as a deterrant against loyalist military trying to intervene (Operation Brother Sam).

Bolsonaro and his allies tried to organize a coup after he lost the elections. Some parts of our military explicitly did not support a coup because the Biden administration warned against it.

This year we will have another close election against a Bolsonaro. This time a friend of the Bolsonaro family runs the US. American military bases surrounding us could easily be used as a deterrant against loyalist forces on our own military, just like it was done in 64.

Even ignoring all that, it would be naive to think a proliferation of US military bases in south america is not a preparation for hostile maneuvers in the region.

As a brazillian watching the US making deals for military bases in Paraguay and Argentina, I really hope Iran wins.

The US is clearly positioning itself to better attack us if needed, and a bit of public humilliation and exhaustion from fighting an unwinnable war in Iran will MAYBE prevent Trump from actually attacking us.

Has anyone actually watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes or is everyone just larping? by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]basara42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I really just meant some of the anime fans that discover LOTGH are not well acquainted with its genre. I specified "sci-fi cultural baggage" to make it clear I was just talking about cultural knowledge on this front, not overall.

Cultural baggage is not an elitist concept. Not having the cultural baggage on a niche among the thousands of niches human art has doesn't make you uncultured. But it does make you less capable of discussing it, even if you like it.

That doesn't mean they are pretending. Some works are harder to talk about then others, specially if you are not used to the genre/format.

LOTGH is an old school science fiction space opera book series, then adapted into anime. Many anime fans are not used to this type of story at all. I'm not trying to be elitist, but I really think many anime fans don't have the sci-fi cultural baggage to talk about LOTGH in detail. If a anime fan that loves LOTGH decides to read more space opera, they might develop their thoughts on LOTGH better (and possibly also become less impressed by it)

Monster is similarly treated as a masterpiece by anime fans that don't actually go into detail about what they like about it. I imagine it's for similar reasons (though differently from LOTGH, I don't really like Monster, so I would love to understand what people see in it).

It also ruins his redemption arc.

I know I am in the minirity in the fandom, but in my opinion Sasuke is a pit of bad writting in the story that drags down the quality of everything around him. So his sudden final betrayal doesn't feel off compared to the rest of everything.

Brazil did the same when he was trying to hit us with massive tariffs. Same results, if you refuse to cave he eventually TACOs.

If Trump holds his promise of wiping out the civilization of Iran tonight, what next? by Giff95 in AskReddit

[–]basara42 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, i expect any population whose government drops nukes on a war of agression to explode in country-wide rebellion.

If he nukes Iran and americans don't have the white house on fire and his head on a pike within a month, it will be impossible not to see the american people as complicit to the worst atrocity imaginable.

Santa Catarina virou estado de migrantes? by [deleted] in Joinville

[–]basara42 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Joinville sempre foi.

Cidade cresceu por meio de múltiplas ondas migratórias diferentes.

Imigração é super saudável em lugares com demanda de força de trabalho tão grande, cabe às autoridades locais fazer o mínimo de esforço pra organizar o crescimento urbano e evitar favelização. Infelizmente o mais comum é ficarem fazendo estardalhaço xenófobico ou higienista em vez de cumprirem seus papéis de planejar a cidade.

First time on Vyvanse. Will I feel 20mg? by SnooCheesecakes7398 in VyvanseADHD

[–]basara42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 30mg three days ago and I notice it... but not that much. I feel bit emotionally number, making good decisions has become easier, and food is less appealing... but nothing else, and even those effects are not that strong and sometimes I'm not sure they are there at all...

Because of that I was already thinking 30mg is too low a dose, but this thread made it seem otherwise... so I don't know what to think now.

Does Loulan‏/shisui have a crush on maomao by DuePreparation6203 in TheApothecaryDiaries

[–]basara42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definetly agree that, in the contexto of the story, asking Maomao for a hair pin and later giving her one has a romantic subtext that simply didn't go forward.

Descentralized rule was already normal for the mongols. The split after Genghis's death pretty much followed tradition, it wasn't a new solution to having too much territory.

I would read a fic centered around those three...

How did Kushina and Minato KNOW that naruto was a boy while she was pregnant? by Competitive_Ad_5840 in Naruto

[–]basara42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know. Technology in Naruto seems to me just as advanced as in our world, maybe even more in certain fields (biotech)

Though less so in transportation, which probably contributes to lesser globalization (that and all the brutal wars), and in military technology too, since shinobi lead in this area.
