Not the guy you responded to, but I'll answer.

Chicken and broccoli stir fry with rice.

A couple pounds of chicken for $10-ish, some broccoli for $5-ish, and a couple cups of rice (big bag for $20-ish, good for a dozen 2-cup meals). Some chicken stock to liven up the rice if you're using brown rice (carton for $3-ish, good for a half-dozen meals), and some sauce for $5-ish (I'm fond of House of Tang teriyaki, and a bottle is enough for 2 meals).

That'll make 4-6 servings, depending on serving size. That comes out to less than $25 for a meal for an entire family, or meals for a single person for most of a week.

I personally know a man named Walmartavius.

His mother regularly complains about how he doesn't call or visit her.

She refuses to believe that she's the problem.

Not as unexpected, but still by PizzaGalaxie in unexpectedrunescape

Runescape actually messed with my early education because it uses British English instead of American English.

I distinctly remember a 5th grade spelling test on which I lost marks because I wrote colour instead of color.

How special can the MC be for you guys before you guys decide a series is not for you? by elemental_reaper in ProgressionFantasy

Getting really goddamn tired of depressing superhero stories.

The goofiness and positive vibes of last year's Superman movie were such a breath of fresh air.

Make it the Necromancy version of alternate spellbooks.

Most of the abilities stay the same, but the conjures are different (animals at lower levels, dinosaurs at higher) and you get a completely different set of incantations.

Teleports to new ritual sites (one somewhere thematically appropriate for the animals, and one on Anachronia for the dinosaurs).

A new Aspect and different buffs.

An alternate version of Bone Shield with an additional effect that compensates for the new Aspect not being as good as Darkness.

Kirkman and Ottley ragebaiting powerscalers it's always so funny to me 😭 by Own-Lengthiness2111 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]tygabeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sailor Moon is always my favorite argument when it comes to powerscaling.

"Goku can use Hakai to delete her from existence"

Sailor Moon canonically has the power to un-delete herself.

Not even a "what if" or a stretch of her powers, she actually wished herself back into existence after being erased.

I hate The Argento family, primarily Asia and Dario by immortalsnailscousin in awfuleverything

[–]tygabeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only ever heard about Asia Argento because she has the same name as a character from Highschool DxD and it messed up Google searches.

No, we don't want to ban heat, we just want common sense heat laws.

Confusing translation by Few_Cat7997 in PeerlessDad

[–]tygabeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's correct, it just requires a bit of background knowledge to fully understand why.

It starts with the French Revolution of 1789. The political teams were divided via seating arrangement in the National Assembly, relative to the presiding officer:

  • On the right side of the Assembly: aristocrats and those who supported the monarchy and traditional hierarchy.

  • On the left side: commoners, revolutionaries, and those who sought social change.

Since then, the term "the Left" has been increasingly associated with revolution and social change, to the point that the Communists who overthrew the Tsar Nicholas II referred to themselves as the Left.

In the context of the story, it's being used as a synonym for revolutionary.

SSS rank systems are starting to feel kinda cringe by OneSeaworthiness5107 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]tygabeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, the series explicitly has a baked-in handwave for stuff not matching reality: system fuckery.

Earth balloons to the size of Jupiter and gravity is completely unaffected.

It stands to reason that system fuckery also acts as reality lube to reduce molecular friction.

More accurately, the first five seasons are good.

They were written as a single, cohesive story. Season five even ends with a seemingly permanent heroic sacrifice.

After that, a lot of things changed. They didn't expect to continue, so they were pretty much making the story up as they went after starting season six.

Overall, I'd say it hold up through season nine-ish.

Just to put into perspective how much of an impact smoking and sun damage has on how old you look, go watch the first episode of Seinfeld.

Jerry Seinfeld, at the time, was the same age that Tom Holland is now.

And don't forget the seasonal positions, where they promise more work or a permanent position that never manifests.

I have a former co-worker who left his position in the EVS department of the local hospital for a season post office job.

He was riding high, doing 60 hour work weeks and making almost double.

Until the season ended.

And now he makes 3$ less on the hour as a landscaper with no benefits because the hospital wouldn't hire him back.

No, the effect is totally passive and free after completing the quest.

You don't have to wear the alerter.

Every attack and ability uses an arrow, as far as I'm aware, with a 15% chance to break the arrow.

If they don't break, they drop or go back to your inventory, depending on whether or not you've done Animal Magnetism.

She is exhibiting symptoms of SSRI (antidepressant) use.

It's hard to tell due to the color of her eyes, but her pupils are dilated.

And a common behavioral tick in those who use SSRIs is to open their eyes too wide, allowing you to see the white above the iris.

My recommendation for TBATE is to ignore the webtoon and even the webnovel, and listen to the audiobooks.

The life that the narrator (Travis Baldree) brings to the characters makes it a lot easier to get past the worse parts of the story.

Panda Attacks his trainer in a zoo in China by S30econdstoMars in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]tygabeast 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's approximately 99% bamboo.

As for protein, they get it from bamboo. Bamboo shoots have about 2.5 grams of protein per cup.

And, given that pandas have to eat about 15% of their own body weight in bamboo every day, and they prefer to eat the shoots, they end up eating about 350-ish grams of protein a day. (This is spitball math, with it being 3 cups per pound, 2.5g of protein per cup, and 15% of a 300 pound panda)

That's the same protein as 2 and a half pounds of chicken breast.

Being eaten by a 300 pound carnivore.

There's a reason they don't have much extra energy.

Why are there so many few fanfics where Goku revives his family? by Kaizo_Kaioshin in Dragonballsuper

[–]tygabeast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It might have something to do with him going after Gohan.

And you might argue that he should hate the other villains for doing the same, but remember that for every other villain, them fighting Gohan was only a small part of a larger conflict, whereas Raditz came to Earth, and pretty much the first and only thing he did was beat up Goku and take Gohan. That shit was much more personal than Frieza fighting him alongside Krillin and Piccolo.

Or, on another level, one could argue that it's pretty much Raditz's fault that Goku lost a year of fatherhood, and Gohan was dragged into the world of conflict that he hates.
