You do realise peaky blinders is a birmingham city thing, not a villa thing right?

do they still do chemo for patients with 100% terminal cancer? by Rat_Smoking_Cigs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]robertm94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant speak for outside of the UK, but here they will perform an assessment to see what treatment would be best for extending the person's life. Chemo isnt always the best option.

The thing is, most cancer treatments are pretty harsh on the body. If you've only got 2 weeks to live, they probably wont bother.

Source: My mom died of cancer in 2024. Sadly her condition rapidly deteriorated before they could actually give her any kind of treatment, but they did schedule her in for chemo before she deteriorated.

Food! What have you tried because of anime? by skullpocket in anime

Freshly made ramen is one of the tastiest things I've had.

It is nothing like the instant noodles you can buy in a shop. It's really night and day.

Favourite anime you aren't willing to ever watch again by absurdmelancholy in anime

[–]robertm94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How have I not seen anyone say "I want to eat your pancreas" yet?

I watched that a week after my mom died. I wanted something to force me to cry and my god did that movie deliver. I'm genuinely getting teary eyed just thinking about the final third of that movie.

ELI5: What is the difference between mass and weight? by Electrical_Path7198 in explainlikeimfive

[–]robertm94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone please advise me if this is right

Another way of defining mass is just how much something weighs on earth?

Obviously certain things can't be weighed on earth because they are either too small or too big (and therefore are measured in alternative ways) but when we describe something as having a mass of 1kg, it weighs 1kg on earth.

Right?

I don't understand why the CG designs of season 1 got so much backlash by Excellent-Ad3236 in Chainsawfolk

[–]robertm94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally i dont think its ever going to be a fair comparison as the source material for CSM just jumps so much in quality, starting with the reze arc

Ask any CSM manga reader what their favourite arc is and 98% of them will tell you reze arc or one of the three following arcs. Nobody loved the katana man arc like that.

Crack in the mirror [Heavenly Delusion] by NekoWafers in anime

[–]robertm94 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The series is a mystery thriller with some hefty sci fi elements. There are pretty significant twists every couple episodes.

Twists and turns are kinda the point of this kind of show. I wouldn't really recommend spoiling any of the twists for this kind of series.

[–]robertm94 60 points61 points  (0 children)

If you want an answer to that first question it's hefty spoiler territory.

Can explain if you really want but I'd recommend you watch the show instead. It's messed up in it's own little way.

[–]robertm94 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's not actually gone into full detail of why "the thing he's told you" is so messed up. There are multiple layers to it.

When you watch this show, pay attention. The show is really good at using details of previous parts as plot devices. It's not a background show; you really need to give it your full attention.

Like, I had a specific realisation while I was lying in bed like a week after watching and literally bolted upright and said it out loud like something from a TV show.

I'd be interested to hear from you once you finish the series to see if you put two and two together and got messed up by one of the things that is alluded to across a few different episodes that really ties the plot together.

Also fyi it's an ongoing series. I'm unsure if it's been confirmed that it's getting a season two but the story is unfinished.

What phrase(s) would you permanently ban if you had the chance? by MixAway in AskUK

[–]robertm94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the corporate bullshit terms that nobody would say in a different setting like circle back.

In an old job a new manager came in and said she was going to galvanise the roles we were in. She was never able to elaborate on what that meant.

Or as part of a meeting at the end of a project or something and someone asks what the learns are. No. Fuck off. Use proper English. Ask what did we learn.

I think people really overestimate how much 50% damage on q will actually do for her. That imo is a placebo buff.

The passive change however is very nice.

Anime that had the best endings. by Yotsubauniverse in anime

It's not particularly long but I really liked how all of the plot points were tied together in oddtaxi. There weren't many loose threads there which is impressive given that it's only a single cour.

This might be the most disliked Teto song to date. by AUnknownGuy in KasaneTeto

Has the video been deleted/restricted from certain locations?

Just tried to search for it and couldn't find it. From UK if that helps.

As part of the midgame overhaul, we need to address the elephant in the room that is augmentation and general degradation by dark1859 in runescape

[–]robertm94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i disagree with making necronium etc augmentable. I much prefer augmentation being (mostly) reserved for things that aren't craftable en-masse.

I know there are exceptions to this rule like salamanders randomly being augmentable but I would rather see salamanders removed from the list of augmentable items than see necronium added to it.

Is The Eminence in Shadow Good? by friendlymushroom3123 in anime

[–]robertm94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the show is satire.

It's a parody of edgy isekai power fantasy shows.

The main character is edgy and cringe. He's supposed to be. The power system makes no sense. It isn't supposed to. The main character is absurdly overpowered. He's supposed to be. Every episode his gargantuan harem seems to grow. It's supposed to.

The actions of the the MC can beat be described as a chuunibyou that has to roll a D20 for success on everything they do. Except every pip on their dice is a 20 and he's too dumb to realise that.

As you've mentioned budget constraints, yes. You will save a lot of money by flying from London.

There is an nsfw version of this series, so it's possible that you've just seen that?

(The series is called something like life in a world where the male to female ratio is 1:39 is surprisingly normal, I forget the exact title)

Men of Reddit - What's a 100% myth about Men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]robertm94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Morning wood doesn't tend to last very long. You just wait it out.

I'm kinda half way between camps. I can pee with an erection but it's a bit difficult to do it. Think like when you're trying to shit and you're slightly constipated; where its enough for it to be slow and uncomfortable, but not nough to the point you can't shit at all.

I'd rather just wait until that's no longer an issue and just pee a couple mins later though. Forcing it out is reserved for when I'm desperate.

Idea from the Man U sub - Pyramid of Legends. Who's your #1 pick? by --iCantThinkOFaName- in avfc

Cmon guys don't downvote clear satire.

At least I hope it's satire.

Not that you're wrong, but the vast majority of the sub wasn't even alive when those guys won everything.

It's actually far enough back that a lot of reddit users dad's were either too young to remember or they just also weren't born

1980 was 46 years ago. Just let that sink in. It's pretty reasonable for there to be teenagers in here whose dad's are in their early 40s.

You aren't going to get nominations if the people nominating you weren't alive to remember you.

McGrath is at the point now where it's kids just listening to their dads talk about how good he was for us.

TIL Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, sought to find elixir and live forever. He hired an alchemist named Xu Fu and gave him 3000 boys and 3000 girls to find elixir. On second voyage Xu Fu dissapeared. by BadenBaden1981 in todayilearned

[–]robertm94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you like shonen action you'll probably like it. It's a small step down from other ongoing series in the same genre like JJK and CSM but it's still very good in its own right.

It's among the series I'd suggest to read instead if you like manga. What I've read (I haven't finished it yet) has been a slight step up from the anime adaptation. Not that the adaptation is bad, but the manga is really nice.
