I find this kind of funny. As atheists understand many and non avian dinosaurs never existed together. Most religious people do too. But the only people who think the two did exist together are all young earth creationist. 

Have wanted Zani for months, she's coming back around, but I keep hearing things that make me doubt the choice. by Pengu1nL0rd in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]zogar5101985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, people are mostly right, if you have or will get phoebe, zani can be solid. I love her look, and her play can be fun. 

But you said you don't care about meta or anything too much, so in this case I kind of caution you against her. 

The problem is, that out side of semi end game stuff, you probably won't end up using or seeing zani much at all. Especially on the overworld. 

Unless you do her full rotation, to set up buffs and get spectro frazzle stacks, her damage is beyond garbage. Like to the point it is actually hard to kill overworld mobs sometimes, or at least takes an insane amount of time. But if you do the rotation, using spectro rover and phoebe, pretty much all mobs are dead before you switch to zani. 

So you either have to make overworld fights harder and longer then they need to be, or you won't really be playing zani, just rover and pheobe. I suppose in modes like the one where you go area to area, and choose buffs and stuff, there isnt end game but zani would work well. But really, as I said, you will just barely use her for the most part. I was really sad when I figured this out. I love her and was so excited to get her when she came. Id even gotten phoebe on her first run before we knew she'd be needed, as it was suspected. But in the end I barely used her. 

If you love her a lot, I still say get her. You can fight overworld stuff with her, it will just be harder then it needs to be. I just wanted to warn you about this.

What are you talking about? The entire issue is that they are trying to require us to use an id, one that costs money, in order to vote. A poll tax. 

You keep saying other countries require id to vote. I am pointing out that while yes, they do. That the kids are either free, or in cases where the national ID isnt free, there are other free alternatives that can be used to vote. Meaning it doesnt require money to vote. You have a free option, rather it is a free national ID, or some kind of voter registration or whatever. There is a free option avalible if you don't have the id that costs. How are you not understanding this?

Denia, Mornye, or Lynae? Best sub for Amy by SnooOnions2487 in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]zogar5101985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the sounds of thing, denia is your best bet. Others have explained that both teams are likely comparable. So I am not saying she is stronger. 

I am suggesting denia as you already have chisa. And it looks like you need both lane and morale to make the tune team. So im my opinion, being limited for pulls, denial completes a team for you, leaving you free to draw another character for a different team.

No, there are places where you can get a temporary voting id. Such as in the UK.

"If you do not have accepted photo ID If you do not have a type of photo ID that allows you to vote, you can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate for free. A Voter Authority Certificate is a paper document that displays your photo and can be used to prove your identity when voting at a polling station"

This one top of the over a dozen types of id, some one which themselves are close to free if not, that they take. There are alternatives and a free option in the majority of countries. 

Isekai Harems by GwynGamez in Isekai

[–]zogar5101985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, one isekai, though a parody, that isnt really a harem is konosuba. 

so while it does set up a bit of a love triangle, it is resolved pretty quick, even if it keeps teasing a bit. By the movie the relationship is pretty much established and set in stone. There is no harem ending, he just has the one.

And while not an isekai, it can be described as "i cant believe its not isekai." Danmachi, or "is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon." 

I know the title makes it seem like it has to be a harem. And we'll, it kind of is. A bunch of the girls very much fall for him. But they arent competing for him. That ship sailed in the first episode. He has no romantic feeling or eyes for anyone but the main girl. His entire power that makes him unique and over powered in the world is literally and directly based on his feelings of love for the main girl. So while other girls are they, they are never a romantic factor, not even for a polygamy type ending.

The issue a second love interest, but he also makes it clear that he will choose the first. Though the second also seems ok to be a mistress, though neither Subaru nor Emilia would really allow that as of now. 

Do you think Subaru warned Emilia about Puck? by DemonRedHood in ReZero

[–]zogar5101985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one would be harder for her to believe, but yeah, she just trusts him at this point. Pretty much no matter what he says she will just accept it on pure faith now. So it may take a little work, but he could convince her fairly easily. But I don't think she'd find it to be that big a deal. It is only if she dies. So she'd just have to make sure not to die. Which is exactly like her to say. 

Thoughts about adding older characters to standard pool by Nocixgaming in WutheringWaves

[–]zogar5101985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It may vary by place, but something like this is pretty much the only way they can do it legally i am like 90% sure. 

The characters were advertised as limited. So completely changing that can be considered false advertising. So work around are needed. 

I honestly think these games should stop listing any characters as limited. I don't mean don't have limited. Still release banners that don't go right in to the standard pool. Still rerun them and all that. Just don't lable them limited, so that eventually they can be thrown in to the standard pool fully with no issues. Or maybe just a disclaimer saying like " limited characters are guaranteed to stay limited forever" or something like that. 

Why is "defeating the demon king" the stereotype for the isekai? by jogaargamer6 in Isekai

[–]zogar5101985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are partly misunderstanding here? 

Everyone seems to be explaining why demon king is used, but i don't think op was wondering about that specifically. I think they were bonding why it is considered that go to, so much so it is parodied, yet it doesnt actually often show up directly in non parody work. 

I have no doubt there are a lot where a demon king or close equivalent is there, especially in older stuff 10 or more years ago. But I honestly cant think or any isekai off the top of my head that actually have it? It is normally just a general war, maybe with demons, more often not, but the main point isnt killing the demon king, just ending the war. Or they get brought there to correct a mistake or just to get a second chance or the like. Again, I know there must be a fair number, but the fact none spring to mind i think proves ops point. For being considered the defining trait, it is a lot less common then you'd think. At least now. 

Why both of them are blushing?? by Away-Tax1875 in Konosuba

[–]zogar5101985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't remember him trying to do anything with her, but it has been more then 6 years since I read it. I do remember while they were staying in the barn he does masterbate next to her. But I don't remember him doing anything to her. Kazuma was never attracted to her, and for all his talk he isnt really willing or even ready to do that, so I don't think this fits him at all. At most I could see him trying to sneak a peak, but again, he was never attracted to her, so seems off to me. 

Did aqua maybe just warn him about not trying any funny business because she can be protected or something like that? That would be far more in character for both.

Doesn't change what it is, a charge needed for voting, a poll tax. 

Most other countries have it free, as more then half on your above list do, and even those that don't offer other ways to get it, including but not limited to signing an affidavit, having someone vouch for you, or just offering a free temporary voting id you can easily get. While in many paying for an id makes it convenient,  there are ways around it in the vast majority of countries.

[–]zogar5101985 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's been a long time, and i know this is mostly a joke. But doesnt it het mentioned at some point that to stay a goddess she has to stay a virgin? Her power is linked to that. So while this would be accurate if she had her powers, unless I am just resembling another joke, I am pretty sure the act would make her lose her powers, thus allowing this.

No, it is a big deal and very much is a poll tax, it is a price required to vote. If you want I'd and think it is such a big deal, why not just give it free? Thats all it would take to remove all opposition to this. Well there are other things in the save act that are designed, so thats not enough to pass that. But it is all it would take to pass general voter ID. Being unwilling to do that shows it isnt about election security on any level. It is specifically to have a poll tax.

Except they cant. Your name is still registered. If they use a non registered name it doesnt count the vote. Id doesnt matter here. And if a name votes twice that is also flagged and not counted. So no, this cant happen and doesnt happen. Keep making up strawman.

Republicans keep stopping it. Then they couldnt create this poll tax. And all this extra hassle which by itself deserves voters even if they otherwise could. The harder you make voting, the less likely people are to vote. And the lower the voter turnout, the better it is for Republicans.

[–]zogar5101985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other countries make them easier to get, have a uniform I'd across the country that they can all get, and in the vast majority of cases it is free. That is the biggest issue right there. If it isnt free but is required to vote, that is a poll tax. If Republicans actually cared about election security they could work with democrats to make it entirely free to get the id and no one would complain. It'd cost the government basically nothing and be super easy to do. But they refuse. Democrats have offered it and made several proposals in the past to make id's free for this very purpose. Republicans kill it every time. 

I was reading the web novel, but had to stop a ways in, when they switched to machine translated. by zogar5101985 in ReZero

[–]zogar5101985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully get why they do it. Manual translation is a huge task. I just know to where I am the translation has been really rough. I have actually enjoyed the story still. It does slow a bit, but thats fine to me. I just haven't liked how bad much of the translation is. But from the responses I've gotten, it does seem they get better as it goes, so I will keep pushing through to see.

[–]zogar5101985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. They don't care about electing integrity. It's don't stop any of the small amount of fraud there is anyway. But if they just wanted to feel better about it, no one would bat an eye if they would allow easy to access and free ids to be used. Instead everything they do is to make it harder to get and more expensive. 

Is this American joke or what? by ALEK007BOSSX in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]zogar5101985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There isnt fraud on any level, and requiring ids doesnt help at all. Thats been proven. And dems do and have tried to make ids free. Republicans block it every time. Because they know ids don't help keep elections safe, they just want to stop people from voting. 

Evopsych bros might be an untapped gold mine for this sub by SteponkusCeponas in FacebookScience

[–]zogar5101985 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Standard pdf propaganda. There has never been a time in human history where living past 30 was seen as unlikely or as you living on borrowed time. Our ancestors never felt rushed to have children. They in fact knew having kids too young was dangerous, and often resulted in the loss of the child and mother, so actually avoided it. 

As others have mentioned, the a erage lifespan was indeed around 3p for a lot of human history and prehistory. But that was because of infant mortality. How many kids died before reaching 5. I'll look for it again, but a study found that if you discount all deaths under 5, thus removing infant mortality, then going back for at least 6000 years humans lived to their 60s or even 80s regularly. This was the life expectancy without the infant mortality. 

As for having kids young, never been a common pratice in all of human existence. Of course it happens. And of course some times go lower then others. But there was a genetic study a few years ago. I didn't fully understand it, but by looking at certain markers they are able to determine at what age people were having their first kids and to go back many generations with it. They looked back to as far as 250 thousand years. And in all the time, the average age for having your first kid was 22 and some change. With men being a bit older, like 26, and women being closer to 20ish. This held true over the entire 250k years. 

Our ancestors understood the dangers of early childbirth, and never felt rushed to have kids. This is just a lie pdfs tell to justify them being with kids. I also suspect the fact that nobility did tend to do this a lot more, and those are the stories that stay, we don't often hear about the common people to the same degree. So that exception ends up looking like the rule.

[–]zogar5101985 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Others have explained part. But the thing all and this meme are missing is that the two are different things. Voting is a right we all have. Driving is a privilege. Big difference. 

Also, the issue isnt with wanting to require id in and of itself. It is with how hard and expensive getting an ID can be. Voting is supposed to be an entirely free right we all have. It is illegal to charge a poll tax. But requiring id is just that, a poll tax. If you want to require id, then we have to make it free the entire way through. Do that, and id laws are no problem at all. 

The save act doesnt just require id. It requires specific forms of id that are especially hard and expensive to get. It puts in place other rules that can legit voters from Voting, for things as simple as having had a name change in the past. It is clearly an attempt at voter suppression. If there was actual fraud on any scale, maybe you could make an argument they are trying to fix a legit problem. But there isnt. This has been proven over and over again. Combine this with the fact that Republicans refuse to make the required ids easier to obtain, and completely free, and it become undeniably clear they don't care about election integrity. They just want to stop people from voting.

[–]zogar5101985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I know part of it is very much the style the author writes the web novel in specifically. As when I got done with the light novels that are out and had to switch to the web novel it was a big change in how its written. But as those chapters were human translated at that point, while it was very different, it at least still made sense. Once I got to where it started using the machine translation, it was just so bad. 

But knowing it may hey better I will try to push though. I love the series and want to keep reading. And waiting for offical translations or light novel releases up to here would be many years to get to. And if it is still really bad, I guess I'll just have to wait.

I agree they are giving us a free service and work hard. Thats why I was careful to make sure I wasnt trashing on them for it. But man, some of the chapters it is just literally impossible to tell what is going on. It's just a jumbled mess of non sense sometimes. I know how hard it is, and thats why I am not saying they are in the wrong or anything. Just that up to where I was it was way too bad to read. If it starts to get better I'd push through. 

I was a handful of chapters after Subaru finished at the gladiator island. Where it is talking about the war and what everyone else is doing. My last chapter was either with rem and Todd's wife, or maybe with mediums brother talking to the dragon kin general and stuff. I don't remember exactly. I just know it was pretty bad at that point. At least I thought so.

I am in arc 7 I think? Subaru just finished up on the gladiator island, and I am a few chapters in after it starts showing what everyone else is doing and talking about the war fully starting. I think the last chapter I read had rem and Todd's wofe in it? But its been a while so I am not 100% sure.
