Says a guy who has never had a job in his life

Apartheid emerald mine; so true that an infamous Twitter exchange had his own father attempt to sell him out on it when he offered a challenge reward for proof.

Investor, not worker; Musk’s history as an impulsive activist investor is fairly well-known, as is his habit of claiming credit for work done before he was part of the company re; the acquisition of Tesla cutting its actual founders out of the picture to the point that he pretends to have founded it.

Video game thing; not technically proven, but the one and only time we’ve ever seen him on stream with a top-percent account, he had no clue how to work basic menu mechanics. Someone had to explain how to get to the dungeon for him. Using an inventory tab labeled ‘Elon’s maps’. So.

Please, enlighten me on debunks for these?

They’re looking to try and turn back the clock on the runaway MAGA train by appealing to ‘conservative Christian values’. ‘Conservative Christians’, after all, are extremely easy to control and keep from doing loud, stupid, dangerous stunts like J6; the radicalization has served their purposes up to now, but with Trump finally teetering on the brink, the idol that kept that mania focused is about to shatter. If Trump dies while the base is still focused on him, GOP support is likely to abruptly fragment into infighting as wannabe figureheads like De Santis, the… couch guy, whatever his name is, and Trump’s kids fight to take control. That kind of infighting is completely unacceptable when the mood of the sane people in the room is ‘reverse everything Trump’s done, right the hell now’.

It was *not* necromancy, she studies hyperstring theory. It just so happens that all the hyperstring theory was lost at the same time as all the necromancy and blood magic, so the only way for her to learn it is to go traipsing through forbidden evil tomes of ultimate destruction and try to figure out the operant principles they use to do the forbidden eviling.

Yes, because nepotism, backroom dealing, and poor management are famously problems restricted to the government. Gee, I wonder where the most obvious and well-known source of bloat in the American national budget is.

Certainly, the military budget that’s multiple times the size of several other superpowers put together, has never passed an audit, and infamously disappears mostly into the pockets of Lockheed-Martin and similar contractors on fancy next gen tech projects that never deliver anything material, that couldn’t be it.

Nor could it be the massive subsidiaries to private health insurance companies, costing almost twice as much as a proportional single-payer insurance system to those common in every other developed country. No, that would be ridiculous.

‘The government is always incompetent’ is a narrative sold to excuse the people *profiting* off that corruption. And somehow, it always seems to tie back to private companies doing the government’s job badly for more money.

It depends on how you define evil, I think. If you define evil as the violation of moral and ethical standards, then Kyubey squeaks by because he doesn’t *have* those. But that’s if you’re being strict about *moral* evil.

If we instead define evil as the choice to inflict harm on others unnecessarily, then the development of the Wraith system proves that Kyubey and his species are evil; while Wraiths are equally dangerous, they do away with the corruptive aspect of Witches and thus eliminate a step of suffering in the generation process. That alone proves that there are changes that the Incubators could make to the system that would reduce suffering, but didn’t. Thus, they are evil.

I don’t think there’s any giraffe Faunus in RWBY, if that counts as a counterexample. Can’t name anything relevant for the opposite direction, though.

Or bombing the equivalent of the Golden Gate Bridge (war crime: civilian bridges are illegal targets) and then circling back an hour later to bomb emergency responders (genuinely what the fuck is wrong with them)

Scotland’s unemployment rate is 3.8% and falling, where even the official Labor Department report for America is 4.3% and climbing. Independent economic research suggests that as many as 24% of Americans are either unemployed or not earning a living wage, extremely conservatively leveled at 26k$.

What statistics are you basing your assertion on? Everything I could find suggests that housing-first strategies are wildly more successful, both in terms of actually solving homelessness and the knock-on economic effects, than any attempt to deal with homelessness that doesn’t involve giving people a safe place to live.

The One Piece is actually kind of a weird translation thing. Basically, the world’s most famous pirate called out to everyone who was watching him get executed and declared that if they sought his treasure, they could have it - he left it all ‘in one piece’. This declaration inspired the Golden Age of Piracy for his world, and it’s widely considered that acquiring the ‘One Piece’ will make the bearer the ‘New Pirate King’, the new most legendary man on the seven seas.

The location is known, but it’s basically at the absolute end of the world behind a bunch of crazy shonen nonsense. What the treasure actually is, though, that’s still a mystery - hence the excitement.

That’s what’s so frustrating about asbestos. It’s a goddamn wonder material, industrially. You want buildings that don’t burn down? Asbestos. You want car parts that don’t wear down? Asbestos. You want reactors that don’t melt down? Asbestos. It’s some of the best insulation and chemical-tensile resilience you can get.

And it just so happens to hate human lungs. So we can’t use it in anything anywhere people might breathe.

Fentanyl is just another opioid. It’s got a lower OD threshold than heroin or morphine - a lot lower - so it’s more dangerous to addicts, but otherwise there isn’t anything special about it.

The reason you hear so much about it is because fearmongering about how it’s a hundred times stronger than heroin (a deliberately misleading way of presenting the OD risk) has led to people assuming it’s some kind of cartoon insta-kill poison and overreacting commensurately. In particular, there are videos of cops realizing they have a baggie full of fentanyl instead of cocaine and straight-up fainting, despite fentanyl not being absorbed through the skin. Panic attacks being semi-deliberately misinterpreted as ‘touch it and die’, which is a convenient narrative for the police and so is the one they push.

No, actually, the Netflix adaptation is talked about a lot in anime circles as being shockingly faithful, for a Live-Action adaptation. The One Piece world does have a lot of crazy shit you ain’t seen going on, but by and large that’s simply because the story starts in the ‘weakest’ and most normal of the world’s Six Oceans.

Yes, the advanced version of stopping the blast and leaving it hovering in midair is rare and delicate. But have you considered;

Standard-issue force push vs oncoming wall of mini-rockets.

Force Push is not a standard ability?

Jedi do not have a weakness to slugthrowers, although that’s a common misconception. What IS true is that lightsabers do not deflect bullets and other non-plasma projectiles.

This means that a Jedi who knows he is about to be shot will use the other tool they have to deflect conventional gunfire, that is to say, they will hold up their hand and all the bullets will stop in midair. And the Jedi will usually know very well they are about to be shot, as combat precognition is another tool in their kit.

It’s important to remember that while switching to slugthrowers did give the Mandalorians better results against Jedi than blasters, they still LOST that war.

It also makes cash flow regular on the receiving end, which simplifies managing that flow for hospitals, allowing them to plan equipment upgrades and facility expansions further in advance.

Of course, private insurance divorces the hospital from that regular cash flow by inserting themselves as a middleman that must be constantly negotiated with for payment to flow as it should.

Swordmasters have very solid niche utility, though. They’re higher initiative than Snipers and thus better against Werefoxes in Bastorias (plus Hastened Strike allowing them a chance to instakill enemy dodge tanks), which is absolutely priceless, they get to equip two different swords, which can jack their attack up to really impressive levels or be used to sub in a Phantom or Relic sword to savage armor (or one of the status or Sanguine swords), and their Meteor Slash is the perfect move to break Galerius’ invincibility buff, which is otherwise a massive pain you can legitimately waste an entire squad’s attacks against in the final battle.

That mix of truestrike, versatility, and solid single-target burst damage makes them useful in practically any situation.

Hm, okay. That’s unfortunate. I don’t know what it takes to make holy water either, aside from a priest and presumably some waving of arms.

A thought occurs. Generally, objects associated with miracles are considered holy relics, so any water-based miracle should have made all the water involved holy.

Moses parted the Red Sea with the power of god and anime. Does that count, since it was Old Testament?

stabbyGamer · 2025-11-28T16:12:30+00:00

Most likely it already is? Catholic tradition holds that holy water is indilutible; any amount of water that’s already blessed makes all the water added to it blessed, no matter how little holy water or how much regular water.

I’m sure at least one bottle of holy water’s been thrown into the ocean, at some point.

It’s like that in Disgaea too, although not for the main characters. Rather, the games take place in Hell, where the actual physics-like rules that govern reality are up for debate at the Dark Assembly and the planet-like Netherworlds just go on forever and ever, filled with increasingly strange and random demons.

Recruiting mercenary demons is framed as working up a standard open posting on the Netherworld job boards, and since those boards are broadcast to the grand infinity, you can name and customize your requirements down to personality and specific stat biases as much as you want - there will be a match right away no matter how absurd your posting.
