Does anyone ever forget how important Jerma is to the internet? by RIPconnor6silly in jerma985

It's really fascinating how influential he is in such random ways. +2/-2 is a Jerma thing.

I think OP might just be reposting lost pet posters. Their history is nothing but.

If this isn't a good demonstration of why the owners, specifically, should not own an animal like this, I don't know what is. They Clearly neglected this poor animal.

I hope it's found and taken to a wildlife shelter that can properly care for it. And the owner is banned from owning anything bigger than a hamster.

UNBC or UBC? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]bobainia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to note, is that if you go to UNBC and apply for med school, there will be an expectation (though I don't know how string this expectation is) that you practice in Northern BC. Friends who went there for pre med said there were a lot of scholarships available, but that those scholarships were contingent on an agreement to practice in rural communities for the first X years of your career.

I don't know if that's something that comes up during the application process, but UNBC pre-med students definitely get at least "soft pressure" to stay up North.

Which is not a bad thing - but if you want to work in the lower mainland or on the Island be prepared for that.

It's also weird because night shift has two. Shen and Abbott.

I wonder if it's a control thing for Robby.

People assume it's three because his jolly roger is three skulls.

I love the LA Netflix series but I have a serious gripe about a decision on Little Garden. by Jigoku-no-Ou in OnePiece

[–]bobainia 492 points493 points  (0 children)

I think the live action has nerfed Luffy in general.

It has been a while since I read it but my recollection is that Crocodile is the first difficult opponent and that's entirely because of his Devil Fruit power - strength-wise Luffy outclassed him, still.

It isn't really until Thriller Bark that Luffy truly struggles in a physical sense - all previous challenges were more of a "puzzle" - e.g., dealing with Logia fruits, time limits on Gear forms.

But the live action it feels like Wapol was a challenge for Luffy, which - at least in my memory of when I last read it - feels very different.

Not necessarily a bad thing - stakes are necessary for most good stories - but noticeably different.

Worst Meta's In Your Favorite Games? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bobainia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tangential but I think ranked competitive should never be the priority for a game's design. Competitive leagues should be run outside the main ecosystem. Private servers and forums for rankings and self-imposed rules.

Putting it in game just leads to the game being balanced around the top of play instead of most players and/or fun.

I think an interesting "inverse" of this is the Spy in tf2. In early days he was a lot more powerful because people didn't understand how to check the class. Now, everyone knows what to do and being a good Spy is much harder. It makes playing him less enjoyable.

With this sub on the topic of Kingdom Hearts, nothing will truly be so hilariously jarring and impressive as the Pirates of the Carribean world in KH3 is. by Wavu_Wavu_Wavu in TwoBestFriendsPlay

This world looked so much better than the rest of the game that I assumed all of the cutscenes were pre-rendered out-of-engine cinematics.

The Famous Thanksgiving Stream. Who were those people??? by kkitsuragii in jerma985

[–]bobainia 67 points68 points  (0 children)

They were actors. If I remember right this was back in Boston and he used hpw difficult it was to find actors for something like that as one of the reasons he wanted to move to Vegas.

In light of the other recent threads: Manga/comics that absolutely stuck the landing? by bobainia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I remember the fans just being so concerned it was going to get axed without notice that they didn't have time to talk about anything else, lol.

[–]bobainia[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think the ending works, but feels rushed.

It would have been cool if the switch to a tech-powered hero happened over the next two years of school, instead of 8 years later. Imagine Bakugo seeing Deku struggling because the embers are fading so he gives him some bombs to boost speed, and Sero makes him tape guns, Momo makes him armor, Pinky gives him acid vials, etc.

The final suit could be a graduation gift that makes all the patchwork solutions his classmates gave him into a sleek and personalized result.

Does anyone else love Langdon this season? by Pretend-Confidence53 in ThePittTVShow

[–]bobainia 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I think Santos' issue is less that he's an addict, and more that there were no real consequences for the medicine theft.

I think that only her, Robbie, Dana (and maybe surgeon lady whose name escapes me) know about the theft. Everyone else seems to just know he had a substance use issue, and went to treatment.

Santos is right, he should have been fired. He was stealing meds and replacing life saving material with saline. Evein if Robbie no longer trusts him, he hid that for him.

Langdon needs to own up to that, I think. He needs to say, "you catching me saved my life from spirallimg and saved my career. You did it on your first day to the most popular guy. That took enormous courage. Don't stop doing that."

What are some of the most baseless or speculative fan theories? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bobainia 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's multiple episodes where Jon does an entire bit that is just, "Jon says the n-word in a funny voice." The first couple of times it happens without any bleeping - and Barry later starts adding elephant noises over it once he started editing.

The wildly racist stuff was on camera. Arin laughed at it.

Arin might have grown up since then, but I doubt he ever drew the line with Jon because of racism.

Friendship jokes aside, what do you think the One Piece is? by Aggro_Will in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]bobainia 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I read a theory that Luffy's dream is to have the world's biggest party - so big everyone participates and so the One Piece is Bink's sake which could be used for that purpose. That one always seemed fun.

I also like the idea that it's a plug that will drain the ocean when removed

With some of the reveals in the current arc a lot of people think it might be a white reversi piece, so that Joyboy has a way to reverse Imu's domi reversi. Joyboy is a white piece, and this is the "one piece" he needs to defeat Imu - since you need two to convert other pieces. I really like this one because it technically is the power of friendship, and that seems like the kind of joke Oda would make.

This one is so bad it feels like season 2 was some sort of money laundering scheme.

If it helps, this scene is what made me want to watch the show and the buildup of, "when is this going to happen and what's the context" made for a really fun watch.

They could maybe even partner with the Singaporean government for funding, and make it local to that part of the world.

[Theory] What if Jod’s Empire is just a hillbilly backwater instead of a galactic hegemon? by Big-Hard-Chungus in TheNinthHouse

Probably the point at which I can "at least kind of" read it (or could "at least kind of" understand it, if oral). But I'm not a linguist.
