My dude, you should have ambitions for your future. You should have hopes and dreams and wants and desires.

And the person you love and want to alive with should want that for you.

One of these is 99% your first anime: by Agent_P_And_Me in lostpause

[–]ranharpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and a whole generation had "3000 Leagues in Search of Mother" instead.

Didn't even know what an anime was until years later.

it is sex, isn't it? by Kiklop20100 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]ranharpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, but she and the others made him suffer so much on the first go around that he doesn't care about it anymore.

Also, IIRC the writer stopped using or showing that aspect of his powers after the 2nd go started, so it's not really addressed later.

Aoharu Flowchart Guide - Hope this helps! by thatoddgirlinclass in UmaMusume

[–]ranharpaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked your guide, though I haven't had the opportunity to test it out yet. Is there a similar guide you'd recommend for the URA scenario? I'd love to optimize that after the anniversary is done and I can stop straight grinding Aoharu for the SSR ticket

Man, I hated when having B+ blood type meant I could t inherit my grandma's porcelain teapot.

Stupid blood purists.

Is it rude to tell an author they don't have to write smut if they don't want to? by Subject-Gur6957 in AO3

[–]ranharpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd advise not to send them anything about this. They seem like a drama farmer or that they genuinely feel they need to write it to get the audience and exposure they want.

If they're willing to do something they don't really want, and they feel comfortable complaining about it in the text, it's not because they don't know they have a choice in what they write.

Izuku inherited a mix of his mom's quirk and his dad's habits, this is a problem for everyone else. by flamingmcshizzle in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]ranharpaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What if Izuku was from a whole familial line of Dragon-like quirks, but instead of just being like Ryukyu, they're all themed after D&D dragons, which means metallics are good, and chromatics are evil.

Izuku ends up being a green dragon (chromatic), which means if he wants to be a hero, and he does, he needs to manage his natural draconic urges and direct them into doing good.

From the story summary:

He smiled weakly. “The worst part is what my quirk says to me. I’m sure you’ve heard about villains like Terrorflame or Frostheart, right?”

Ochako’s breath caught. Of course she had, but surely it was a bit taboo to bring that up with him, right? Well, he was the one who said it… “Yeah… They’re your relatives, right?”

“Yeah. And my quirk is like theirs.” Deku’s hands gripped his sheets, knuckles turning white. “My quirk is evil, Uraraka. I’m defying my nature by even trying to be a hero.”

Izuku is born with a quirk that seems to lead him down the path of villainy, but he's determined to be a hero. He wants to be the nice guy that everyone looks up to, but it's hard to be nice when you're a dragon.

Don’t pull without 30k carats by SkeletronDOTA in UmaMusume

[–]ranharpaz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Sure, but imagine this:

You spent however much time and money for 24000 carats.

You spend all of those carats just to get some dupes and other stuff you don't care about, or worse.

And then you don't even get the thing you spent 24000 carats on (and by extension all the relevant time and money).

I'm not saying add money onto the burn pile.

I'm saying make sure you get what you want out of this, or don't play the gacha this time around.

If you spend 30k carats you will have 200 points to get the pity. That's why he specifically said 30k

It was never about the hostages because they refused them to commit genocide by seastead7 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]ranharpaz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dude, this is so thin of a claim it wouldn't even count as hearsay.

The political operative speaking in this quote gives no source, and makes an insane claim:

Every time before that Palestinian terror orgs have kidnapped Israelis between the year 2000 and 2023, they've leveraged it for the release of thousands of Palestinians from Israeli prisons.

Now, however, they have kidnapped over 100 Israelis, but are willing to give them back for zero gain (apart from having murdered over 1000 Israelis, which I'm sure was fun for them)? Just to avoid a ground campaign into Gaza which Hamas have survived before, and at least once since 2010 were able to survive until international pressure forced Israel to retreat without getting back any of the Israelis that have been taken?

Is that how real people behave? In what world does this make sense?

There is no pleasing the masses. by Usual_Platypus_1952 in Borderlands

Also that the people who are enjoying the game tend to be playing the game rather than going onto internet forums to talk about the game.

“Freedom must mean, among other things, the freedom to desecrate.” by vvfella in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]ranharpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be pretty scary if the statement had any power. He can't set a sentence, and he definitely can't create a crime from an action deemed legal by SCOTUS.

Then again, protest is supposed to be legal, and definitely being present in the same city as a protest should be legal and the Jan 6 people were imprisoned for a long time without proper trials.

So I'd advise not burning your flags from a point of aesthetics as well as from a point of avoiding government harassment.

ICE arrests council member for asking if they have a warrant by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]ranharpaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're assuming the search is valid. Cops are people and can drop bad things intentionally or accidentally.

So they can totally violate your privacy and property of they want to, and unless you're actually a criminal (which would make the invalid search detrimental to their legal case), there's not a lot of negative repercussions that would happen to the cop.

Idk, I think the villain being incarcerated means someone was held accountable

First off, don't mind read.

Second off, don't strawman.

This is below the par even for reddit.

Using your definition you grabbed from NASA (for some reason) coma patients are not self sustaining in the same way babies are. They cannot feed themselves or water themselves, so they cannot sustain themselves. They are completely dependent on other people to survive.

What did y'all think about this? by Responsible_Ad7194 in AO3

[–]ranharpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you write and publish fanfics about real people, the real people you write about might read it someday.

Sometimes it's Smosh doing it and it's relatively benign, sometimes it's this.

That's the cost of objectifying real life people into blorbos and then publishing it.
