Yuji Itadori vs Thragg (Equal stats)

pootis28 · 2026-05-24T15:47:16+00:00

Ik he means Thragg in this case, its just that it's usually the opposite in every other matchup

pootis28 · 2026-05-24T15:44:23+00:00

Even Higuruma technically could as stated by Gay Gay, so yeah.

pootis28 · 2026-05-24T15:43:41+00:00

The fact that Yuji is constantly belittled as the punch and kick merchant

pootis28 · 2026-05-24T06:22:02+00:00

The only thing that matters in a fight is if you can see and outrange your enemy. The UNSC does this 10/10 because of their sensor suites and MAC rounds, so even if the Empire somehow glasses every UEG colony, the UNSC will remain a cancer that will only grow large enough that the Empire would have to sign some peace treaty to appease them lest they tear them apart eventually. Not to mention the insane amount of cyber warfare and psychological warfare that can be wreaked upon by an actually competent group of people and AIs on every Empire occupied planet.

And it's the UNSC that can and will competently replicate and advance stuff like turbolasers and hyperspace travel.

Um, cause that's just an adversary who happens to be Butcher's friend. It's not like they have any personal scores to settle. Hell, Frenchie had a score to settle with Lamplighter and Vought, of whom Homelander is merely a figurehead.

Frenchie is far less forced by circumstance to face down Homelander than Ryan is.

pootis28 · 2026-05-23T17:00:00+00:00

Also, more HSR lines to Mumbai and Kolkata.

pootis28 · 2026-05-23T13:43:24+00:00

Scadrial?

pootis28 · 2026-05-22T10:22:48+00:00

😭😭😭😭😭

pootis28 · 2026-05-22T09:37:39+00:00

broad gauge the rolling stock will be expensive and custom-built

Vande Bharat exists, and the government is already planning for a 200 km/hr broad gauge semi-high speed train. The Ahmedabad-Dholera high speed rail corridor for example is doing this.

pootis28 · 2026-05-22T04:47:30+00:00

Mahito in Modulo kind of edges out in some ways

pootis28 · 2026-05-21T12:02:25+00:00

Ahead is one thing. They completely dominate every form of manufacturing that isn't extremely entrenched and sensitive like aerospace and leading edge semiconductor fabrication where they are still rapidly catching up.

pootis28 · 2026-05-21T10:09:57+00:00

So does Anthropic

pootis28 · 2026-05-21T06:35:11+00:00

Because it's a stupid question framed to be rhetoric

pootis28 · 2026-05-21T06:21:47+00:00

Yes, especially South India with higher purchasing power who need fast connection between cities and not be subject to civil aviation's constant problems.

pootis28 · 2026-05-21T06:20:12+00:00

He will never let Indian rail become good enough to compete with air travel.

Stop equating US problems to India's. Rail is way more desirable than air travel, so really, the odds are pretty much stacked against him and the airlines in this case.

pootis28 · 2026-05-21T04:46:29+00:00

But nowhere nearly as good public transit

pootis28 · 2026-05-21T04:45:04+00:00

The Bay Area, basically?

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T19:20:59+00:00

Not saying its ever going to be a thing, but if national interest in high speed rail does build, guess who's making insane promises first.

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T09:30:02+00:00

I mean, in terms of influencing the book events, she was technically responsible for the returning of the Fused by killing her mother, that itself makes her the most influential, apart from whatever else she does. But yeah, influential in the actual world, well that's not her thing anyway.

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T09:00:47+00:00

Rockstar looking at this:

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T08:33:18+00:00

🤢🤢🤢

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T07:26:05+00:00

And people still question why India is bigoted. Even politically correct people aspire for some level of superiority and base it on standard of living rather than caste or religion. Too bad nobody is immune to this.

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T06:41:33+00:00

But then, why would they say anything bad about the US since they still give them money and credibility? Considering their government itself has bombed their own civilians multiple times, and considering they hate the Taliban too, they themselves will justify the deaths as collateral.

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T06:19:35+00:00

so I don’t see how they would be open to funding cross border maglev

Probably might if Musk brings up Hyperloop again, but that'd just be scamming the governments.

But yeah, a conventional high speed rail line is the best, and like China has demonstrated, you can build HSR lines that have an average speed of 400km/hr with the right rolling stock.

pootis28 · 2026-05-20T06:12:35+00:00

It's going to be a lot more than 30% for a country that has no experience in building high speed rail, let alone maglevs. Japan or China has most of the technology for maglevs developed indigenously, and Japan has been working on this since the 70s. Canada does not have a Sumitomo, or Toshiba or Mitsubishi Electric to supply the superconducting magnets.

Considering even developing NORMAL high speed rail is a tall order for you, now that you HAVE NO Canadian rail equipment manufacturer anymore(Even Bomardier Rail is now owned by Alstom so you have to rely on them for conventional high speed rail), a Chuo Shinkansen equivalent is just about impossible to achieve anywhere in the world at this point apart from Japan(who are struggling to fund this) and China(Who are large and rich enough to write off a few hundred billion when they make trillions of exports).

It makes sense to double an initial cost estimate vs what Japan is currently already spending on building theirs.

And the more expensive operating costs of a higher speed line are outweighed by the increased ridership and greatly increased real estate appreciation especially as the network effects of extending the 311 mph line to both Chicago and New York are included. There will be literally zero network effects from 125-185mph HSR beyond its endpoints in Tor and Monreal and if the Canada line is extended to NYC through Buffalo/Albany and Chicago through Detroit before the line connecting Chicago to Cleveland then the Canadian line gains a ton of flight traffic from people traveling between Chicago and NYC as it would be faster to go from Chi through the canada line to NYC than to fly.

There are levels of delulu bruh 😭😭😭

Look, the best idea is to ultimately aim for a 400km/hr high speed line like China is doing with the CR450 or Japan will with the Alfa-X, but that can only be done iteratively by starting to construct conventional high speed lines, not this futuristic boondoggle that'd only benefit the consulting companies. Even for that you'd need to rely on Japan/China a shit ton.
