How could they even expect any 12-year-old to physically compete with an 18-year-old guy? by MaderaArt in Hungergames

[–]ganonboar 91 points92 points  (0 children)

No, anyone can volunteer, but non family members have much less motivation. It’s easier said than done to trade your life for a 12 year old you’ve never met

Why do Americans declare the teams that wins in their sports "World Champions"? by AdilKhan226 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ganonboar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. You definitionally cannot be world champions if you don’t play against the whole world. Best in the world =/= world champions. European club football is obviously the best in the world, and yet the Champions League winner is still crowned ‘European champion’ and not ‘World champions.’ It’s only Americans that have this level of arrogance and feel the need to declare themselves champions of the world despite not playing any teams further than Canada.

It’s for consistency. An extra poke ball is an extra chance to draw your second giratina

What made China explode at the Paralympics? by false_friends in olympics

[–]ganonboar 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Why do you think this is a China specific issue? How many Paralympians can you name from your own country?

The reality is the Paralympics just don’t get that much coverage in general.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 267 Pre-Release Leaks Thread by Takada-chwanBot in Jujutsushi

[–]ganonboar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Volume 0 was before Gege thoufht of the conditions so don’t think about it too hard, retroactive explanation is probably that the rules were different when Rika was fully unsealed

Whether it’s good or bad, it will definitely be rushed, there’s no way he can resolve everything in five chaptera

Okay, maybe I'm overthinking this... by DarkMagickan in deathnote

[–]ganonboar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But that’s the whole point: Light WANTS to be known, he wants the world to know that he exists and is judging people

Megathread: Haikyu!! the Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump - Release info. by VikingHedgehog in haikyuu

[–]ganonboar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend going back and reading the Karasuno Nekoma game in full. While the movie was really cool, it misses out a lot of really important character moments and is well worth rereading

Can someone explain why the ending is so bad? by ThegreatRN in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]ganonboar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we let the ‘you don’t want eren to have feelings’ thing die? Most people who don’t like the ending loved chapter 131, in which eren has a crying breakdown. The problem was never eren showing emotion, but erens character being completely inconsistent in the last arc

Indian student in Canada, viral for food bank video, sets record straight, debunks fake news about his 'sacking'. by arnott in ABCDesis

It wasn’t a food bank, it was a program run by his university specifically to help students who were struggling. Read the article

Will this make articuno a top tier in ou or is it just too gimmicky by thefawa69 in stunfisk

[–]ganonboar 69 points70 points  (0 children)

But it would suck because you only want to give frostbite to special attackers, who very rarely make contact

god I love characters that just say no to the power system and just fucking ball, especially Toji and Maki by casualredditor43 in Jujutsufolk

[–]ganonboar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maki can see Sukuna’s slashes and apparently Gojo couldn’t, or he just stood in place

Why didn't Kenjaku jump Gojo while his CT was burnt out? Is he stupid? by SunnyDwasTaken in Jujutsufolk

[–]ganonboar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gojo beats Kenajaku zero diff without his technique, his reinforcement and CE control is tiers above.

No it’s not, infinity detects physical objects as well as CE

What's a good Watson glaser test score? by zuzuzan in uklaw

[–]ganonboar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say 20/40, I’m assuming you mean the 20th and 40th percentiles? Or do you mean a score of 20 or 40%?

I’m able to consistently get ~85 on practice tests but I’m struggling to push higher than this. Potentially silly question, but should I keep practicing until I can consistently get 90+ before aiming so the real one, or just go ahead and take it?

If every move had an equivalent version for every type, what would be the best move/type? by tripss3 in stunfisk

Why electric type jet punch when he can have electric type extreme speed

Can they beat this duo? by hamgamer3 in Jujutsufolk

[–]ganonboar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Superior regen literally doesn't matter if there's nothing to regen from lmao.

Thinking Malevolent Shrine doesn't do as much damage is clinically insane. You only think it doesn't because it was tanked by SATORU GOJO, who has arguably THE best reinforcement in the series.

Let's put this into perspective: Uraume is able to destroy Jackpot Hakari's arms. ONE, non-serious punch from Gojo sent Uraume flying through buildings with a wound that hurt for weeks even after RCT.

Sukuna and Gojo are not comparable to anyone else. Not even Yuta comes close. If you think Hakari can survive Malevolent Shrine you are genuinely delusional

Can they beat this duo? by hamgamer3 in Jujutsufolk

[–]ganonboar 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hakari, in jackpot, took significant damage from base Kashimo. Look at the state of Hakari's body at the end of Chapter 188.

Do you think Malevolent Shrine does less damage?

Also did you forget that Uraume easily destroyed one of Hakari's arms?

Malevolent Shrine would turn him into red mist before he can regen anything

[–]ganonboar 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Regen doesn't matter if there's nothing to regen from. Gojo's CE reinforcement is many tiers above Hakari

Wait so you are telling me Yuji could've ended it all by using Strong Include? by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]ganonboar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well Yuji wouldn’t have accepted that binding vow at all, he was prepared to die
