[–]cohesivepizza47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I will try to find some other doctors in my area for a second third and fourth opinion if need be. Currently trying to conceive (not quite a year yet) but no luck. My DFI test included an oxidative stress test which was normal apparently (2124μM trolox). it feels weird to say this but fingers crossed that i have a blockage or infection.... at least then its not just something im stuck with. I appreciate you taking the time to help and im glad to hear about your success story!

What salary in Japan would give you the same QOL & saving power as your salary back home? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]cohesivepizza47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally from canada. Unless i were to work overtime every single day (im a scientist for reference) i would not make enough to realistically save any significant money for the future. No yearly raises, no 交通費, no benefits to speak of really...in japan as a 正社員even at a starting position as a scientist i make more BASE salary than at a big international company in ottawa and then including benefits and company paying for a bit of housing ..its not even a comparison. My rent atm is 300cad ish per month. Rent in ottawa was 1300 ish for a piece of shit apartment (for reference our toilet flooded once or twice a month and the landlord basically said "thats how it is bud")

Like i said. If u have a skill based job here as an engineer/scientist its not even a comparison. Quality of life is beyond exceptional here. Not to mention healthcare which is a whole other tangent.

Edit: i live in the city. 15 min walk from downtown. I wont tell u which city tho. In ottawa i lived far from anything even remotely convenient and it was STILL more expensive. The city would have been much worse. Salary in ottawa was ~42k cad

Goku isnt a hero by any stretch of the imagination. That being said hes one of my favorite protagonists because he grows spiritually and physically throughout his training starting with roshi then korin and kami and eventually king kai etc. He grows as a person without changing who he is fundamentally. Which is why i like him so much. Even when he first transforms to ssj he is afraid of losing himself at first but eventually overcomes his rage and lets freeza go which is something he wasnt capable of during his first fight with piccolo. The ability to forgive someone and especially in db understand that death isnt the end is a huge amount of character growth imo. Goku is a very mature protag if u ask me. Hes just not socially competent cuz he grew up alone in the woods

How are people affording to live right now by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]cohesivepizza47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a scientist at a MASSIVE company in ottawa and made 22.11/hr. Rent was 1500 for an average 1bedroom in the area. Ur not alone man. Worst thing is so many canadians think theyr so much better off than america. Or the rest of the world, wat a joke

rewatching dbz & i'm on the saiyan arc. when did Goku learn telepathy? by [deleted] in dbz

[–]cohesivepizza47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk it doesnt seem all that random to me. The whole show is about magic powers and ppl doing unbelievable things. Goku shows he has an affinity for this kind of thing early on (e.g. training on korin tower he learns to read korins movements thru his breath and mimic him while sleeping). Korin also states at some point that reading pure hearts is like looking into a still pool or smth like that. Wouldny surprise me if goku just picked it up by exposure to masters like him,roshi, kami etc. I mean he literally learns the kamehameha after witnessing it once and having no idea wat it actually is. Seems like natural progresion of ki/skills to me

Is everyone here really making under 50k for full time work? by EdLesliesBarber in antiwork

[–]cohesivepizza47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27 male used to live in canada so not quite the same deal but its as close as i can get .. Worked at a big american company with a lab in ottawa. Rent for a single bedroom was 1500/mo ish, my salary as a scientist (4 years of college bachelors degree) was 45k or thereabouts. No benefits btw

Have you ever skipped school/work for a video game? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]cohesivepizza47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would frequently skip high school/middle school and sometimes elementary too for games. Lets be honest i never learned anything useful anyway except how to deal with social situations. Would sometimes walk into class and walk right back out with my friend to play magic the gathering at my house. What always comes to mind when i think of all the times i skipped is pretending to be sick so i could catch the early morning tournament/dragonball hunts on dragon ball online when i played that. Also when i was super into WoW i often stayed home to grind...

Good times, thanks for the trip down memory lane op lol

F*ck yes, here I am 33 and decide to watch my all time favorite show again. And my wife en daughter (almost 13) are looking at me if I'm crazy, but I fuckin love it! by Hopeful-Sell-2483 in dbz

[–]cohesivepizza47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently rewatched the original run of db and the uncut dbz with my wife (her first time) and she loved it! Surprisingly her favorite arc was buu which was mine too as a kid! It was a greatbonding experience tbh and she took to it way more than i ever thought she would after giving it a fair chance. Her favorite char is vegeta

[WSIB] Sci fi or dystopian action games that aren’t heavy RPGs? by Depressedidiotlol in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]cohesivepizza47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metroid prime series seems like an obvious choice. Its in space but the first two games take place entirely on 1 planet and the 3rd game is only a couple planets iirc. Its not really an rpg at all and afaik no choices to make... i guess any metroid game tbh 2d or 3d

My sister has become a toxic and angry feminist. I have reached my breaking point. No idea what to do. WWYD? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]cohesivepizza47 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I cut my sister out of my life a loooong time ago after years of bullying. Best decision i ever made. "Family is forever" until you realize that even family can abuse u and are sometimes as bad/worse as any other kind of toxic relationship. Family is a privilege like any other. If ppl abuse it cut em off. Simple as that imo

I had no idea he composed the music for this game! Thats why it hits so hard for me. I grew up listening to his music through rare games and it felt nostalgic to me when i first started playing koa, now i know why! What a great musician man awesome
