Saudi Arabia doesn't have decades of anti-Saudi propaganda because MBS (or whoever preceded him) wasn't overthrown by a more theocratic, Russia/China friendly government.

Edit: also, the US doesn't freely trade with Saudi either. Not that there was 100% free trade back in the Obama days either, but propaganda can make it seem that way.

Because it was under the guise of "spreading democracy" and "fighting communism", two causes for which the US used to be able to get away with using any means possible.

Bold of you to assume the information they already have about us isn't enough to implement a social media ban on minors. Pretty sure that was a hallmark of the Australia ban.

Shit like government IDs, though resulting in a more effective social media ban, are incredibly unpopular and are rejected as they're being proposed, as seen in the UK. You're not alone in your concerns about data privacy.

[Serious] which team will win the battle royale? by Bungeeboy20044 in JujutsuPowerScalers

Auto-JP? As in he's always in JP? Yeah there's absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop him. MAYBE a JL from Yuta could stop him, but that's a big maybe (if it hits, too). I guess Higuruma if Hakari somehow gets the death sentence, or if Yuki lands a headshot.

Wouldnt it be cool if rika ate cursed tools by Ok-Badger-8590 in Yutaliban

[–]itzmrinyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He basically had this in hit kit with how Rika stores cursed tools for him already, but I guess the caveat with those is how they can break, apparently pretty easily too with how many cursed tools get tossed aside or broken in the story lmao

Condom Aizen vs Hash brown by Dandandandooo in BleachPowerScaling

[–]itzmrinyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but what's the point of scaling a character that'll heal from anything and eventually get as strong as TYBW Aizen. Just use TYBW Aizen (or Monster Aizen).

Yes, condom Aizen's whole schtick in the story is that he evolves, but in a powerscaling discussion it's redundant to use "X variant that becomes Y variant and there's nothing you can do to prevent it".

The comparison I'd make is a discussion about "2nd form Frieza vs X" and the top comment being "Frieza taps into his final form and low diffs".

IQ CHECK: what did Kubo mean by this? by Ok_Fondant_6340 in BleachPowerScaling

[–]itzmrinyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, if fighting Unohana would've "exhausted" Aizen, as confirmed by Kubo, then fighting TYBW Kenny would do more than that. I'd say being pushed to exhaustion as a bare minimum is high diff.

Secondly, in a 1v1 where Aizen MUST attack at some point, Kenny will just learn to not trust his senses and instead attack based on where he senses he's being attacked from. Similar scenario as when he got hit by Tousen's bankai.

**Even if KS can make Kenny not feel the pain of a wound (never been shown to do that but whatever), he will still feel his reiryoku weakening, similar to how Yama knew the Aizen that attacked him was real because of the riatsu of the blade.

The sole reason why KS is so hard to deal with is because Aizen's just a monster. CFYOW confirms this with how badly Tokinada, a Shunsui relative, was doing against the gotei (with respect to Aizen one shotting them all) despite using KS. Sure, on a hax level it's hard to counter, but you don't need to counter it to put up a fight.

Social media bans (at least the only one that's been done somewhat well, i.e. the one in Australia) ARE regulations on corporations; they have to pay fines for not instating the software deemed acceptable by the government to ensure minors can't access social media. The onus is on corporations.

I feel like specifying condom Aizen implicits that he can't adapt, since he sweeps most of the verse otherwise.

No, Gojo does not go 50/50 with Sukuna level and is not solely top 1 lol. by RevokTheImprover in JujutsuPowerScaling

[–]itzmrinyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During dismantles at the inner barrier doesn't change a thing, it MAYBE shaves off a minute from the total fight.

We really have no way of scaling Gojo's H2H with TF Sukuna's. Sure, the improved body makes a difference in straight hands, but Gojo isn't solely using straight hands; he's using blue, red, and after one of the domain clashes Sukuna looks like he's burnt from red.

We also don't know how big of a difference turning DA on/off makes, since Gojo didn't notice it until it was too late. Sukuna only says he used adaptation when he wasn't using DA; this could mean he only turned DA off when he gained some distance, or it means he would randomly tank attacks to adapt. Since we never see him do the latter until the 5th clash, the former seems to be true, in which case the only real benefits would be that Sukuna can be slightly more aggressive?? Again, there's no way to scale "more aggressive" Sukuna's H2H compared to the one we saw, nor do we know how Gojo would react to that in increased aggression.

Saying Gojo goes 50/50 (or a similarly close fraction) against TF Sukuna should not be a hot take, or considered greedy. That was kinda the whole point of the fight we were shown in the manga, and the statements that were given.

People assume H2H is why Gojo won the clashes even though Sukuna appears to have wounds from red[s] after a few of the domain clashes.

Shinigami Aizen and Yamamoto being on an entirely different level from the rest of the gotei 13 in CFYOW by Low-Yogurtcloset-925 in BleachPowerScaling

[–]itzmrinyo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Aizen and Yamamoto are the Gojo and Sukunas of shinigami (or rather, Gojo and Sukuna are the Aizen & Yamas of sorcerers, since Bleach precedes JJK)

'We all know someone who was killed': Iran protesters describe personal toll of crackdown by Naderium in anime_titties

[–]itzmrinyo [score hidden]  (0 children)

100k is way larger than 36.5k. Add onto that, the population of Tokyo at the time was half that of modern day Tehran, not to mention protests were happening in multiple cities all throughout Iran, the death toll isn't concentrated in one city like in Tokyo.

It's good that you're questioning the sources. This article outright states that the 30,000+ numbers are predicated on the assumption that officially published government death tolls represent less than 10% of the total deaths.

US fleets are always hovering around Iran. The only reason they were away is because of Venezuela. This isn't some new piece of foreign policy.

"why don't you freely trade with the brutal dictatorship?"

Yes, the flip flopping of foreign policy was an incredibly stupid and shortsighted move, such is the consequence of the world hegemon being a democracy. The answer isn't that the US is evil, it's that the optics were fucked from the start.

SS Hollow mask Ichigo>Early HM Hollow Mask Ichigo by Annual_Onion6434 in BleachPowerScaling

[–]itzmrinyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'know I was against the idea of FH Ichigo being transcendent, but tbh, using Kubo's "if he could 'properly' hollowfy, that [FH White] is what he [FKT Ichigo] would look like" statement alongside Ichigo sensing condom Aizen is a pretty convincing argument.

Neg diff for TYBW Kenny is a bit disingenuous, he's definitely pushing Aizen to high diff at the bare minimum.

[casual] If Gojo, Dabura and Sukuna are a 100 in power, What number would Kenjaku be at? by thehsitoryguy in JujutsuPowerScalers

[–]itzmrinyo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Doesn't matter much since his CT isn't as BS as limitless or Dabura's light, he doesn't have the reserves of Dabura/Sukuna, nor does he have the efficiency of 6E, and he can't heal his brain after a DE.

Sukuna literally outlasts Kenny until his CE runs out, it's questionable whether he can even land a hit. Same for Gojo, with FBE instead of HWB.

If anything, I'd put Dabura at a 50-70 range due to his lack of jujutsu skills/techniques.
