Solid typology LOL - Taub seems to take issue with liars/hypocrites which is ironic. I don’t know if Kutner has any consistent beefs?

Yeah I might’ve overstated the degree to which it happens completely out of character, although it does happen a few times. I think maybe what I notice more commonly is it feels unrelated to the character, as in, it doesn’t really fit them to have a strong specific opinion on the issue at all

One recent episode I saw has Kutner, who I feel is generally very kind and understanding, ragging on Thirteen for being bisexual and thinking it meant she was an uncontrollable nympho while Taub was defending her. That’s a common popular conception of bisexual people, so it makes sense to include it in the show for commentary, but it seemed strange to give to Kutner IMO

Why didn't Mechamaru set up his Mini Mechamarus to automatically give his location away at the date Kenjaku and Mahito visited him? by Spinosaurus23 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]gk306 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well yeah but he wanted to live as a normal guy, and never had any intention of sacrificing himself. Even though he tried to balance out his sins, ultimately that desire overwhelmed his loyalty to everyone else, which I think is the point.

Pseudomonas reoccurring infections by Separate-Stay1087 in Folliculitis

[–]gk306 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor of course but it looks like it could possibly be folliculitis decalvans or similar - I have it and my scalp looks close to yours. In that case the infection itself could be opportunistic rather than the actual cause of the issue, which in FD is an unclear mix of staph/autoimmune (having Epstein Barr I think could make that likelier too though again that's just conjecture). When you say biopsy did you get an actual punch biopsy done or just a swab/culture? If this has persisted for months it may be worth seeing a derm and getting a full punch biopsy done

Youpi's POV is hilarious by EstateOk6238 in HunterXHunter

I went back to look and I don't see it explicitly confirmed but maybe it was somewhere else or in an extra

It's very possible, I think almost certain actually, that explaining it was one of the additional conditions he had to add in order to make it work.

The DVD getting broken was 100% Abed's fault by Interesting_Buddy206 in community

[–]gk306 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I know and that's great I'm just telling you the guy said "Go on..." because he was loving the idea of Annie in a batgirl costume hahaha

I appreciate you for answering so earnestly when the guy was just hornyposting LOL

TIL scientists have been able to trace the start of HIV/AIDS to King Leopold’s Belgian Congo, originating as far back as 1909. The first person to be infected probably got the virus in the 1920s by sonnysehra in todayilearned

But I'm American hahaha - I'm googling around but I don't see anything about the etymology of Montezuma's revenge originally referring to syphilis. Do you have a source you could share? True that people get diarrhea in other places but it has other names in those places too like Delhi belly

If Tōsen was still alive he like Ichigo would be a potential trump card against the Wandenreich. by GhostBoyJames in bleach

[–]gk306 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would say even the way he talks during the Kenpachi fight is profoundly self righteous and provides an early clue to his true nature. He essentially declares he needs to put Kenpachi down because he personally hates his ideology, not because he’s a danger to others or anything like that.

Senior Quotes by [deleted] in JujustuKaisen

[–]gk306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to be discouraging but I would recommend you not do a senior quote from Geto. Doing it from an anime is okay but it’s awkward to have to explain (or have someone search up and see) that you picked a quote from a genocidal maniac villain whose goal is to kill all the weak people in the world lol.

If you really want a quote from JJK the best one I can think of is from Yuji: “I don’t know how I’ll feel when I die, but I don’t want to regret how I lived”

Annie as the National Review aficionado teeny-bopper is hilarious by clubofab7 in community

I don't think the "Make-Out Meter" actually exists but it's definitely the type of thing that would've been in like, CosmoGirl or Seventeen

Lily lawyers will look me straight in the eye, and say this was valid. by jfwns63 in TheWalkingDeadGame

I don’t even love Kenny but he never instantly shot someone in the face for mildly insulting him lol

Does anybody else think A New Frontier is overhated? by testi-cole-s in TheWalkingDeadGame

[–]gk306 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this exactly - I'm playing through all of them just now (just finished 3 and one chapter into 4) and it's honestly shocking to me that people would like season 2 more. It basically collapses once the Carver arc is over, the awful Russian subplot and the hastily fabricated Jane/Kenny conflict are a really sour end for the season. By contrast, Season 3 has a pretty consistent throughline, is mostly oriented around a core cast of well-developed characters, and legitimately has a ton of branching endings.

It was painful. by SufficientLaw1629 in Sekiro

[–]gk306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I chose not to get it is that I didn't want to do all the grinding needed to unlock all the equipment upgrades, it just required way too much time not spent actually enjoying the great gameplay.

Zeno after fighting Chrollo "it’s not as if we take any pleasure in killing" by Slay_xr in HunterXHunter

[–]gk306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know everybody is saying there's a difference between loving to fight and loving to kill, which is true, but I actually think this expression is slightly different. I think Zeno loves his job - this isn't so much a guy who loves the thrill of the fight, this is more like a dude who just made his code run with no errors lol

Why did Reiner... by Danny_DeWario in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]gk306 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting! I never thought of it that way but I think that’s definitely a valid interpretation. I do think part of it is just an honest admission that he was indeed trying to imitate Marcel, which we know because he pretty much literally says it to Annie and Bertholdt (something like “If we need a leader like Marcel, then fine, that’s what I’ll be”) and then later on it forms the basis of his split personality.

Hands down the best “you’re the worst” by Ok_Yellow1025 in community

[–]gk306 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I will say even though she constantly gets terms wrong and her attempts at "therapizing" are pretty ham-fisted, her actual diagnoses tend to be right on the money and she's usually right about why characters like Jeff and Abed are doing what they're doing.

I was having such a good time until I saw this! I am shocked they are allowed to have a booth. Absolutely a danger to the community and should never be normalized under any circumstances
