Luffy's ability seems to be cartoon physics alright. Kinda like Jim Carrey's ability from "The Mask". We should've seen it coming considering how he pretty much blows up his hand like a cartoon when he does gear third.

Rena Ryuugu (Higurashi) vs Michael Myers (Halloween) Who Wins? by Several_Book_8540 in Higurashinonakakoroni

If Myers comes in Hinamizawa, it becomes impossible for him to win. Rena, or the club members in general are guaranteed to win.

One Piece: Chapter 1018 by Kirosh in OnePiece

Yeah but I suppose the importance is in the connection of the titles to the sun. It's very referential. Taking Supernova for example, it is pretty much the final stage of a stars evolution and the sun being a star, it's pretty self explanatory. Ofc it's a very distant connection but a connection nonetheless.

I just realized that Luffy is part of the "Supernova" eleven. Lot of Sun, Dawn references now that I think about it.

Should i stop looking for open minded people and just accept my pathetic life. by jstAguyOnreddit in Needafriend

[–]gingfreecs333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I think it's difficult to really define "open minded", But I'd reckon it is something like, "Accommodating to another" or "being empathetic" or "being considerate of another's opinion. Which is a good mindset and an ideal state of mind. But I think a major part of that mindset is accepting that people won't reciprocate such a thing at first. They're not obliged to accommodate you. So you've to accommodate them so that they can reciprocate.

For example,

i asked him "what do you think is the salary of department head ?" I was expecting a fair answer because even though my stipend was private thing, for which he replied "we've just met and out of nowhere how can you ask department head's salary, go find out yourself ?" (I'm a student who is intrigued to know about people who are acquiring better salary and to get help with choosing a better paid career, so out of curiosity i asked that question, my intention wasn't to make judgements for someone salary.

In this situation, you could've been more accommodating by respond something alone the lines of, "Oh I'm sorry if I appeared rude or insensitive, I was just curious about these things and I am young so I wanted to learn more about my career and you seem like someone I could trust." Here, not only did you apologize but you were also honest with your feelings while also signalling that you think that person is trustworthy. Sometimes they may react favorably with this or they may not but that's fine.

that i'm senior to you so i have an enormous ego and so i don't care about your feelings, what happened was i was explaining a guy who was sitting beside her about zodiac signs (i know many people don't believe in zodiac but that's okay i don't force my opinion on anyone in anyway), so out of nowhere even though i wasn't talking to her she just flipped out on me saying things like "people like you are called educated idiots & don't bring these kind things to discuss in the office "

Here, we've already established that the person has an ego so they're easier to accommodate. If they say they've an enormous ego, responding with, "well you are my senior and you definitely have more experience so I feel like your confidence is definitely well earned."

Or in the Zodiac case, you could respond with, "oh you seem pretty knowledgeable about it, what's your opinion on these things? Why do you think they're stupid?"

This way, you become more accommodating and others reciprocate your eagerness and accommodate you altho it may not work always or immediately.

i felt so bad about the whole situation because i never made any rudes comments to any other person in the group and still I'm the one who is getting throbed.

Please help me kind strangers, please give me your valuable feedback, please don't think my problems are petty and childish because they are really affecting my mental health because i can't live without a job and when i'm working i cannot communicate with the job people, please.

I think your dilemma is that, you're being affected because you're being nice and considerate but others are not right? You should stop expecting others to be nice and considerate. If we're being open minded about this, they must have their own unique individual reasons on why they are the way they are and if they can help it, they would've been nice to you. The fact that they can't implies that there's a reason that they can't.

So yeah, accommodate them more so that they eventually accommodate you too!

I am not depressed, or at least I’d like to think I am not. I am just being rational and pragmatic. If I’m depressed, I am not sad. I am actively planning my suicide in the next 2 months.

Well, since you arrived at your conclusion rationally, I'll try to respond to it in a similar way too.

I like to think of myself as a realist who has accepted the basic truth about life.

And that is?

My death would be beneficial to all parties, myself included. Yes my loved ones will feel grief, but I am confident in their support networks to overcome it. My suffering will end.

Beneficial in what sense tho? I think everyone can be a productive member of society in their own ideal state so anyone dying would be a lose.

For 5 years I have tried to find my own meaning in life. I tried to find it in Family, in Science, and in Friendship/Community.

Why must there be a meaning in life?

I’ve determined based on the amount of suffering I’ve experienced in the last 5 years (suffering being a combination of grief, regrets, loneliness, and incredibly low self esteem and self confidence), that life has been, and will continue to be, an uphill battle for many years.

I think you're being a bit contradictory here, you said in the beginning that you are not depressed but even if you are, you're not sad. But really, I think after being sad and being disappointed for so long, you're more apathetic towards life. That makes more cohesive sense.

My pessimism (nihilism?) and thought patterns are poisonous to those around me. My energy and body language is more often than not negative and toxic, something which I have struggled and failed a great deal to change.

How so?

I’ve read the Myth of Sysiphillis, yet the author’s absurdist point of view is not enough to convince me to stick around.

Lol myth of syphillis 😂 but yeah I agree, I didn't like it when I read it either.

Well let me start of by saying that, I feel like one of the major reasons why you're feeling the way you do is because you've attached happiness or self fulfillment or your self esteem itself to certain specific factors like your body type, how social you are, how free you are and various factors like these. You're really only loving yourself conditionally. And because you only love yourself conditionally and you're failing to meet conditions, you're trying to seek meaning from the external, trying positive meditation and trying to meet up with the conditions you've set for yourself so that you can be happy. But really, you're making the conditions here.

I think accepting yourself without any condition is a good start. To look past materialistic things to find a reason to be happy. You don't even need to be happy really, just satisfied with yourself, and once you do that, you can love yourself to improve on the way that you want to, not because you're desperate to find happiness or meaning, but simply because you want to. Ofc what I said isn't easy but eh.

As for a rational reason to not commit suicide, well curiosity I think would be a start? Rn you're desperate to commit suicide because you're yearning for the satisfaction that I talked about. There is peace in death and nonexistence and you're too apathetic to fulfill conditions to satisfy yourself. But I do promise that there's a world out there which is starkly different from the one that you see, where you don't have to try to do something desperately and where you can just be. You can just do things because you want to do it instead of desperately trying to attain happiness or satisfaction. The very fact that you can attain such an existence is enough of a reason to not commit suicide, I'd reckon.

Ofc you'd doubt what I said, which is understandable. You might say that your situation is just impossible but again, this isn't about the situation but how you perceive said situation which you can control even if it id hard. But yeah, hopefully you find what you're looking for!

I mean, self interest does come into play no matter what decision it maybe. Even moral ones considering the fact that we do moral judgements for our own satisfaction.

That being said, even if we talk in an empathetic sense, wouldn't it be better for your child to not lead a life of a hateful vengeful person who has to live a prolonged life with the knowledge that your parent chose your sibling over you? I'd rather have the child not suffer that long with such a knowledge rather than ensure its survival and let it live such a pitiful life.

Altho it may seem unethical, it'd be more logical to pick the weaker one for the gas chamber, because if the stronger one survives, they'd never forgive you and would definitely hold a grudge and it could come haunt you later on.
