I find the genre quite boring, i even have come to dislike it, and at times even hate it, i will explain:

I remember watching Real Dive some years back, it is a Sci-fi anime with a really cool concept about people who dive into an interconnected virtual reality world, this is a kind of advanced internet that allows people to connect their consciousness directly, and along with it they add some twist in which the planet itself uses the network to expand the consciousness of nature because humanity is destroying it, but wait there's more because androids are a thing in that world so the show also covers the relationship and the places in society that humans and sufficiently complex robots may have with each other.

It even had an awesome opening and ending songs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA2Xw4C7gcw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB8g8lz8ep0

Still with me? so Real Drive sounds like one hell of an anime right? however it was also an Slice of Life anime.

That means 80% of the anime was dedicated to episodes showing the characters go about their uneventful mundane lives, going to school, going to a cake shop, just the bullshit of the every day, and then maybe a smear of plot here and there if you were not sleep after 15 minutes of girls eating cake and talking about cute things.

Within the genre of Slice of Life there's the sub-genre of cute girls doing cute things, Real Drive was about CGDCT, now these were teen girls, so thank god it was not pedo bait, but you have to ask yourself, at the end of the day, shows dedicated to showing high schoolers eating cake for 20 minutes are trying to bait a certain kind of audience, right?

In the end we got an anime with some awesome concepts and interesting conflicts, wasted on following a bunch of chubby girls living their normal life.

Of course Real Drive did quite badly, no one remembers it, or talks about it, and you know why? people didn't like it because of the character design, people complained about the girls and the women being too chubby or fat, so they ignored it and bashed it.

I am a man that is down with the thickness, i love me some girls with some meat and some fat, i like big buts and i can not lie, i want tits fat and hips being wide.

So it kinds of offends me that what got the anime its bad name is not the fact that they wasted their time with slice of life, but that the characters were chubby, and do you know what kind of people would put more weight on that than the actual plot? slice of life fans, because their shit is the absence of a plot. Even the romance (if it can be called that) on the series goes nowhere because of the Slice-of-Life, none of my ships sailed, the major, the detective, and the android remained single, and luckily the girls too end being single, because the nearest love interest they had at hand was the main Diver which was an old man so that would have been too creepy, it didn't stop them tho to go to those creepy implications of romance tho.

Those are my reasons, Slice of Life ruin things.

There are other examples, like Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam (the sequel that everyone wanted but no one deserved because man it is a waste of time), Pale Cocoon (an intriguing world, that remains unexplored, with a mystery that goes nowhere), and the world classic and beloved Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, also known as one of the originators of the Slice of Life genre, i myself gave it a 7 out of 10, as a slice of life it does its job, but man do i confess it irks me how interesting the Sci-fi and the scenery are, and how that is not the damn focus of the story, but instead following the life of an android managing a cafe without clients and riding a scooter down the country side! nothing happens! and what little happens leads to nothing or being left unresolved, frustrating.

Anyway, i hate Slice of Life when its mixed with Sci-Fi, i think CGDCT is bait for pedos, and even when it is not doing any of those 2 things, i find it boring, ok maybe there are some great Slice of Life comedies out there, but i consider those being more comedies than slice of life.

Well that was a rant, i think you hit a nerve of mine.

Can't Conan just get cured, and then they focus on dismantling the syndicate? that can be its own long adventure. I don't get why curing him would mean the ending of the series. For example One Piece could perfectly continue for some years after Luffy becomes the king of the pirates, especially with all that we know about the world, there's a lot of incredible things to do, some really damn serious and that need to be resolved before the series ends, and that wont get solved by Luffy getting to the last island (are you aware of its real name?).

Yeah it was a very theatrical concert XD.

S.T.S is from second ending of Akagi.

I only know the song because of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, but yeah the original song is quite good too, i do prefer the version by Goldfinger more tho.

When i went and checked that link, it seems like i had already rated it with 5 stars, yet i don't remember when i heard it, must have been a long while ago, it does feel nostalgic, immediately added it to my second NG Playlist, it has been a while since i have been listening to music on NG. I was going to make a joke about self promotion, but really that was a great album to start
listening to more Ska, well played man, well played.

The original Digimon anime was quite good, i defend it all the way to Frontier, maybe even Data Squad, from that point onward tho... not so much, i am so disillusioned with the franchise that i don't even care about the reboot of Digimon Adventure.

I can answer that question with just a yes, but i can put more effort on it.

Colombia is crossed over by the Andean Mountains, along their length, the Andes are split into several ranges, separated by intermediate depressions. The Andes are the location of several high plateaus – some of which host major cities such as Quito, Bogotá, Cali (live here, and is also in a valley, so double flat), Arequipa, Medellín, etc. Taken from wikipedia.

It seems thus, that Colombian urbanization is flat, so most people who live in a city don't deal with hills.

Actually i will dare to say, without doing any proper research, pretty much talking out of my ass, that most Colombians don't deal with hills, my logic is this, sure there are the Andes, but people settled on the valleys and plateaus within the Andes, apart from those areas, we have the 2 coast, to the Pacific and the Caribbean, which are also flat coasts, then the llanos/plains bordering Venezuela, which well... are called plains, and then the Amazon rain forest, which is a rain forest not a mountainous region.

Well the Medellin cartel was made by Pablo Escobar, so the mental relation makes itself.

Doomroar 2020-02-20 11:46:25

Stagnation has such a negative ring to it, lets call it stability.

Stability sounds nicer, an stable mind, an stable relationship, and stable life.

Well it is because those examples i gave are of Sci-fi series that had an interesting world that was left unexplored in pro of showing Slice of life tropes, also they are quite bad series too for that reason so people don't talk about em, except for Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, which is universally loved and heralded as an originator of the genre that changed things once it came.

Oh i don't hate all Slice of Life, i just hate it when it gets in the way of more interesting things, for example i liked A Place Further Than The Universe, quite a bit, and i just recommended you to watch Eizouken ni wa Te o Dasu na! so i do know it can be done well.

O no sir, the story has gone places beyond the last island, plus remember that there are the dreams of the other Strawhats too, and Jimbei, just becoming Pirate King is not enough, the adventure can continue beyond that, and there's even the moon, man i can't believe you are not reading the manga, it is even getting official free worldwide simultaneous releases now!

I take it you are not reading DB Super? it has some really hype moments.

Lol

First time hearing about it.

Oh man the amount of cheap tricks used on the marketing of that phone disgust me as a psychologist, how shitty a product it must be to forcefully mix the appeals of sex (objectification of women, and the promise of sex), money (the thing is golden and folds like a wallet), power (it uses the name and image of a drug lord, also it exalts the lifestyle of one), all at the same time.

It's not even subtle about it, i am actually surprised the models are not licking the phone in a suggestive manner.

Apparently the about page reveals that it is a company managed by Escobar's brother, with the sole intention of capitalizing on the name, and he is succeeding at it. Once again society fails, why is a company that celebrates the name of a drug lord doing fine? what a dumb question of course it is doing fine, the guy is the poster face of a life of debauchery and excess, he is the dream and goal of the common folk oppressed by Late stage capitalism, of cheating the system and getting rich.

I did knew that Escobar's son had a company that sells shirts with his dad's face on it, while they follow the same principle, he is not as shameless as his uncle, didn't knew about this other company tho.

Doomroar 2020-03-10 14:11:23

Yeah self change is one hell of a hurdle. Tried advancing on my thesis, and now i am back at procrastinating, man why is time management so difficult to do?

Indeed conformism is an insidious ruinner.

Yes the manga is expensive it is at 80+ volumes, but it is getting a digital re publication, that is free, and available worldwide, plus there are the fan scanlations too, or you can just start reading from where the anime leaves in order to catch up and read the cover stories on the wiki, there are so many options i don't think any other manga has such accessibility.

Enel definitively has to come back, there's some real shit on the moon! plus he now has a damn army of robots! it doesn't has to go DBZ levels of space exploration, but it would be nice if they do some space travel.

Some people saw Escobar as a god, he even got elected at one point for the chamber of representatives, that means he was part of the parliament and a congressman, he did build schools, houses, and parks, but he was also a drug lord and the mastermind behind a lot of murder which involved people in the same social strata as the ones that his social projects helped, and he was also pretty much the pioneer of narco politics. However at the same time he had a life full of excess too, he had a personal Zoo and his poached hippopotamuses still wreck havoc to this day.

With the collab i feel like they overused the joke of Luffy being obsessed with meat, i feel like it was almost a waste of a sloth when the series offers so much more, but overall they went to great places, like that failed alliance between Wapol and Crocodile.

Damn what a group, the 3 minute mark was a mindblow, i did not expect for them to turn it up like that, it was great, thanks for the share!

My new addiction is with Warhammer 30K, i have this 3 shorts to blame, they have so much detail and so much lore i ended down the rabbit hole of the Horus Heresy, but it made it all so much more enjoyable:

Funny you say that, i am relatively content with my thesis but some aspects of it do irk me.

Collecting the physical copies is a year long project, like literally a year long project, in that sense it is one of the less accessible series, which is why they are pushing the digital versions so much, there are even the official digitally colored ones, and they are quite high in quality.

I don't think we will get to see other planets, but some moon exploration could be expected since we know that there are some ancient cities full of interesting stuff in them.

I have no clue at all of what the average Colombian thinks, they are a puzzle to me, i just have to look at every election i have been able to participate and look at the results, i have wasted entire afternoons being a designated as vote jury 5 times already, and count the damn votes on my table and see that i have no fucking idea what they think, if it is up to me i would say most Colombians are easily swayed, opportunistic, masochist, and corrupt or at least like to put well known corrupt people in positions of power, but why would you do that? you must like it at that point... an example:

The biggest benefactor (Uribe) of the current elected president (Duque), has been called by the supreme court due to his links with paramilitaries and more false positives and massacres than i bother to count, he has avoided the calls, because apparently that's a thing you can do... and his political party still does fine, the scandals didn't affect him or his party, they won everything, and it was not electoral fraud (i wish it was, boy i wish), people will vote for villains if they get to hear some stupid idea that make superficial sense, na they don't have to make sense, they just have to sound nice to them, even if they sound horrible for everyone else, and i really don't know who those everyone "else" even are, because young, old, rich, poor, male, female, black, white, they go and vote for them. There are tendencies, yes, young people are more liberal and open to alternative parties, but young people don't vote much, and when they do, i wish they could vote better, is not a lot to ask, the improvement is not enough, is not even being apolitical is just having bad taste, i wish some young people would just stay in their homes, it would have saved me time.

Anyway is probably the same shit with Escobar, if he were alive he probably would be president, it wont even surprise me, hell at least he did finish his infrastructure projects, that's more than what Uribe can say for himself, still a villain tho.

Etno-chaos is both exactly what you would expect, and then a billion times more, plus they are songs with a message and story, which adds to it, they cover all the spots.

I am reading up on the Lore trying to get into the novels, as for the games for now i have Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine on my Steam Library, awaiting to be played, i am giving the demo of Stoneshard a try too in the meantime, fuck i should be working on my thesis...

Doomroar 2020-03-22 10:52:45

I like writing my thesis, the problem is some technical aspects that appeared and i have not been able to solve, so i have to reformulate, and that's kind of agonizing because everything looked so damn fine just some time ago, and well it is part of the field, really i should have finished this 2 months ago, it was a simple small project that got unnecessarily complex, and in the end i have no one but myself to blame, and i guess that's the real reason why i am having difficulties, the self guilt appears every time i touch it, but not touching it wont help, it is a vicious cycle.

I am thinking of reformulating things from the middle up, swallow my pride and just be done with it, but i don't want to do it, because people will say that they knew it was gonna happen, and it shouldn't have happened, it was really simple, BTW my thesis is or was the development of a human training protocol to make the use of Brain Computer Interfaces more accessible, the protocol is already finished, all i have to adjust is limit the neuropsychological test to just one for sustained attention, which i already did, the bottle neck was just getting approval to use the BCIs, it sounds fancy but is not really all that fancy, so finding myself thinking of changing parts of it is really annoying, because is like admitting that the naysayers were right.

Yeah if you can't get collector boxes or combos it is kind of a hurdle to collect it physically, but does it has to be physically tho?

If Urban dictionary doesn't lies, i think machoist counts too.

Sure, the villain indeed will change some things, but they will put their self interest at the front, and a self serving civil servant is not a civil servant, in then end you will pay the price with a worst quality of life.

The country is under a general curfew until April, at least for my city people are taking it surprisingly seriously and responsibly, but then again it is just the 3rd day, which to be fair i didn't thought could happen, i was sure people would risk getting finned or arrested just to get their dose of outside and social gathering, but nope, one of my neighbors did had an all out party at 3 in the fucking morning, but it was inside of his house, they should use their terrace for that more often, anyway, still irresponsible, but somehow they didn't broke any rules, i am sure there were more than 10 people, at least that is what i want to think, why would you put your speakers on blast for less?
So in general people are staying at home, and practicing social distancing, i assume washing their hands too, that's the power of the media they are good at what they do, and since general stores and access to critical things is still operational i think the only reason for people to not be able to deal with this would be if they really, really can't cope with staying at home, no shortage of toilet paper over here, at least not yet.

How are things on your end?

A thesis on Warhammer is a great idea actually, it's just a matter of choosing a paradigm and analyse an aspect of Warhammer from there, is not something too hard because you are putting things in a frame so to speak.

For example i did an analysis of gender roles and female stereotypes on the first 100 chapters of OP for a class on Psychology and Gender, and man Oda is a genius, those were some clean 100 chapters the guy was ahead of his time, matter of fact he kind of gets worst in that regard as the series advance, thriller bark alone is pretty much a different manga when it comes to that topic a lot comes crashing down, but on the East Blue arc OP held its ground so damn well it was a breeze to do the analysis because not only was it topical it is counter to the usual portrayals of women and actually offer answers sometimes directly to a lot of the criticism made to popular media, the character are purposeful they exist with inner drives and motives, layered there are more than 2 dimensions to their characters, impactful to the story and the world they are in, they are not hysexualised (in the technical therm), and even when they are (Alvida) their psychological characteristics become the focus of their portrayal (she is despite all, still ugly in the inside), autonomous, independent but realistic, they have flaws and strengths, and are not attachment or plot devices to romance other characters but characters on their own, so you get plenty of ammo to make a lot of arguments and statements, East Blue in that regard is so good it is kind of unfair how easy the analysis can be.

And i can see some really interesting stuff with Warhammer too, so things would flow really well, the problem of course is time, i would have to first change my basis from neuro to something else, then collect supporting literature, that part is easy you just have to do the crunch put in the time, defining the parameters and then doing the stuff is the fun part, the problem is finding the members of your thesis committee, your thesis supervisor and the 2 jurors (which are found by your supervisor or the faculty, and if they fail you have to find them yourself!), then present an initial dissertation, get that approved, then prepare for the final one, since this would be an analysis on media you don't have to deal with the hurdles of acquiring equipment, passing informed consent, dealing with an ethics committee, getting access to a lab, man fuck bureaucracy, is not like i am asking for a budget is just putting 6 electrodes on the heads of 4 people and sitting them in front of a screen!, anyway, i digress, even without that those things take time, it is what fucked me over on my current one.

So yeah a thesis on Warhammer would be awesome, but time is a problem. Maybe if i were more of a socialite things would have gone smoother.

Warhammer models are awesome, i love the Tyranids and all the ---fexes, i wish they could get buffed.

Doomroar 2020-03-24 14:28:04

I am really good at dodging the idea of changing my sedentary lifestyle.

Neuralink uses intracranial implants, these are put on your scalp no need for a surgical intervention. Yes i do think it will, because it involves improving a neglected area of the field the human user since the current tendency is towards developing better algorithms, skipping the training entirely in some cases. Personally speaking tho, i do think that an ideal BCI should be used without the need of training, so it should be intuitive and adaptive.

But the images are smaller, even compared to the weekly magazine they are reduced in size even when the paper is of higher quality, plus they don't have the colored version in paper format yet.

Machismo? yeah that applies too, a lot actually more than the others. But i mean when you constantly vote for people that is openly corrupt you have to be masochist is some degree.

The US is a complex cause because they were under waves of information manipulation which did affect the elections, but yeah i can see that being somewhat appealing, in its own weird logic, if you forget that you are voting for someone to become a civil servant, i guess that the big difference when people think of a president i think that they should be working for me, i am paying them with my taxes, but for others they think they are electing their boss that will then do them some favors if they get lucky.

This is different here, everyone knew the bad stuff, for example the false positives, reefer to the reports of successful military operations carried out against guerrilla soldiers, however under investigation it is discovered that they were abducted civilians who were executed and disguised as guerrillas by our own military, just so that they could show an achievement, that's the kind that is being denounced by the supreme court, and yet people still vote for his party. At that point you are either fine with shit like that, or actively denying reality.

Maximum of 10 persons i think.

Oh man, well that sucks, the common cold is a pain in itself, hope you get better, what do they tell you at work?

You are taking it way more leniently over there, policy wise at least, schools and nonessential business closed over here, as well as travel, i wonder how people who survive on a day to day basis are managing now that we are on the 5 day.

Sorry man it is a global pandemic, it spread way too rapidly, i wish it was just a seasonal cold, but even a seasonal cold can give problems to elderly people and young children, they are the main reason why these drastic measures are being taken, the high degree of infection makes it so hospitals get overwhelmed and forces doctors to make choices that they shouldn't have to make, chances are me and you will catch it, and we will be fine, but if our grandmothers or grandfathers get it and they need access to a hospital it would be ideal if they can give them proper care rather than being put in line because everyone else in their generation ended sick at the same time, this virus is more of an statistical problem at its core, is a numbers game.

Boa is her own character indeed, and she uses her beauty as a weapon she is not a fan-service character, because the fact that she is physically desirable is a plot driven need, and is something that she owns and uses to her advantage, is not just a factor meant to objectify her or sell merchandise, and her relationship with her body and how others react to it is rooted on her personal history, Hancock would pass with flying colors, yes she has an extreme thin waist and huge breast, but that's the point for her case.

Things got weird way before that, when for example Nami gets assaulted while taking a shower in thriller bark, then you have her being unconscious on a wedding dress for half the arc, then you have her being saved by Sanji rather than letting her save herself, and when she wakes up she gets no fights, and is reduced to a token character until she finally reunites with her crew, that arc also had Marriage Hunter Lola, which was a woman who derived her own value from the idea of being able to find a husband (which luckily in Whole Cake island Oda revisits and kind of redeems, but until then she was just a mere stereotype of what women should expect out of life), Doctor Hoghback and Cindry in a fetishistic relationship of master servant, with Cindry literally being a busty zombie maid against her will... man when it comes to gender dynamics that arc has all the bad examples, and i love Perona, she is one of my favorite girls, but the fact that she dresses and acts like a little spoiled girl is another one of those things that makes that arc look worse compared to everything before, i am glad Perona has matured personality wise after the time-skip.

Anyway that was just one example of what makes OP great there's the world building too which i think is unmatched in shonen manga, that alone is its own beast.

Nope, i am relatively new to the Warhammer world.

Doomroar 2020-03-26 17:28:12

Gotcha.

It has been a plan for 2 years now, which kind of makes this bottle neck all the more embarrassing/frustrating.

Yes the official digitally colored manga they call it, and it is gorgeous. Shonen Jump, you can access it from Mangaplus their international page, or Viz their american subcontractor, it is also on amazon kindle i think.

True, true, but the manipulation made on that election was particularly aggressive, there was the whole Reddit scandal and everything.
Yeah just a small change in how you perceive the role of the people you vote for makes a big difference.

Yeah, some of the generals involved got court martialed, so i don't know how he keeps avoiding the calls.

One of the main symptoms is high fever, so chances are you don't have it, being immune would be nice, but like i said, the real risk is passing it onto other people, you could be asymptomatic and just carry it with you, never experience any symptoms, but then pass it to someone that may not be that lucky.

Quarantine and lock downs do hit hard small business and independent workers, it is good that you have the option to work from home tho, make sure to keep a schedule tho.

I guess it is because if business start failing a lot of things can go wrong, so they would need a period for deescalating operations.

Or maybe they are confident on the infrastructure of their health system, are there a lot of elderly over there?
That sounds horrible, when people rush in to hoard on products and disrupt the supply line things do get unnecessarily harsh, good to read that things got better.

Since it is a problem of organizing public order zones that are in compromised situations would have it harder, India has a lot of people but they have an unified government so i think they could manage if they react early, for African countries it is a problem of communication really, with the Ebola spread they had however i think they could manage since they already dealt with one recent pandemic.

Is worse, because it spreads more than the common cold, but has the symptoms of SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome), so people that get hit the harder die from things like pneumonia.
That's worrisome, but is good that they are healthy, as long as you follow the recommendations it should be fine, do the same you would do to not pass the common cold to someone.

O totally from Drum Kingdom onward Oda gave all the women of a certain age the same body, however how that body is exposed changes, but thinks like Nami wearing nothing but a bra and jeans, that's blatant fanservice.
Yeah it helps a lot to move the story and keeps inner drama at bay, but is not like there's no romance in it, Sanji and Pudding and Viola come to mind for example.

Yeah the happiness punch, in that however it was Nami getting rid of the situation by effectively cutting off the shenanigans, even if she gave them what they wanted (letting them see some glorious tits), she is taking charge of the situation, controlling it and resolving the matter at hand, it is still an infiltration of her privacy but at least she gets to do something about it, in Thriller Bark she was defenseless, din't even got the chance to talk back, and at best she screamed for help, they are similar situations but the way in which the characters manage to react to them were completely different.

Most of her character development happens in the cover stories when we see her living with Mihawk helping him with the humandrills teaching them how to farm, and cook, getting jealous of the bear cubs being more interested on Mihawk than her, it was quite lovely, they kind of seem like a married couple.

For now i am interested more in the lore, and some of the digital game, for the game board i don't think i am ready yet.

Doomroar 2020-03-28 12:27:32

I actually got one extra month (maybe more if i get even more lucky), and you bet i am here wasting my time, because self sabotage is like that, there are of course some things that are out of my hands, but boy should i be reading more papers than i am doing.

Manipulating electrons sounds doper.

Well but at 70 even the common col is troublesome, take care of yourself and yours, by following the recommended guidelines, we kinda got lucky that basic prevention is enough to limit the spread.

Over here the local government is putting into effect an aid campaign to deliver food provisions to the most vulnerable social demographics, so that they can get their basics secured, we are currently at a week of containment, and it surprises me how efficient they are handling it, this is the more competent they have ever been, wild stuff, there's a caveat of course the enrollment is done using the internet, so a lot of people that need it probably can't access it, even if the option is being offered, which i personally didn't thought they would offer it at all, so if we can do it why wouldn't yours do it too? they idea of a loan sounds logical, but this is a global emergency, a disaster should come from disaster founds, which i believe come from the taxes everyone pays, a pandemic is just like an earthquake.

Definitively after people go and panic buy things the whole things enters out of sync, things run out faster than they should, then they resupply, but people are not buying, so things that spoil go to waste, it is something that happened in Venezuela when they entered their economic crisis, and it ended really bad, then the government had to regulate the distribution of goods, and that was a whole different mess, all because of unnecessary hoarding.

Oh man with stocks going down in general, maybe it is not that bad of a time, think about it, things are going lower now, but they will rebound once the critical point passes, and you will be buying low and selling high.

Bitcoin is still viable? last time i heard about it, it was still going down. I am managing with my savings, and works from home, database managing for some projects at the U, i just had to take the main program to my house, plus i live with my mother and that helps a lot, she is also working from home (social worker, as a project manager).

Well that's odd, but hey maybe things work out anyways, optimism is all you can have when there's nothing else to do.

Apparently India has been dealing with the virus since January, and just recently made a nation wide lock down, and things are not turning out that well for them: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/03/india-coronavirus-covid19-narendra-modi/608896/
Since it is a new virus the chances of being immune are pretty much low if not randomly low, i was seeing things from their experience, since this is not the first time they are being hit by a pandemic.

Vitamin C, is a good thing to have, but for the record, it has only been proven to boost the immune response as long as you accompany the intake of the vitamin with rigorous exercise, so since you already made the investment, rather than churning the whole thing, start sweating and moving. https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/1/236/htm
Also an immune response that is too strong can backfire, in fact it is one of the mechanism behind how pneumonia works, so don't go too crazy with it, moderation man.

Since both the common cold, and Corona-chan, are passed by droplets, appart from washing your hands you should cough in tissues, and disinfect surfaces, specially things of common use like kitchenware, other than that you can bee in the same room and nothing will happen, for example: breathing the same air, using the same shower, wont pass the infection, but sharing a remote control then touching your face would, so if you wash your hands nothing should happen.

Her name is Kaya, she totally had a crush on Usopp, no idea how he saw her, i guess he had to deal with his complexes first before thinking about hooking up. Oh man Luffy has Shirahoshi, Rebecca, Boa, Bartholomeo, and some people put Vivi in there too. Well Robin can make clones of herself so i will leave it at that.

Zoro and Tashigi? you gonna do Smoker dirty like that? man i want to drop some spoilers here but you will catch up eventually, lets just say that Zoro gets lucky in Wano with some samurai girls wink wink.

Yeah.

Doomroar 2020-04-03 10:43:01

Thanks, that was half a month ago, how time flies, man i will be my own end one of these days, however i got some ways to extend it for another semester if all else fails, i could get passed with an incomplete note and finish next semester, or cancel and restart given the extraordinary circumstances, sometimes i do get impressed with how convenient stuff gets at least for this particular part of my life.

Old people have a lot of strength, not necessarily body builder level strength, but they certainly are not feeble, indeed retirement does lead to people growing weak, which is why everyone recommend being active in old age, or young age, this is gonna come full circle and explode in my sedentary face wont it?

It has contagion spread of 1.3 i think, over here it definitively has worked, we have 100 new cases per day on average which could be way worse. The incubator period is the most rare thing, it varies from 2 weeks to an entire month... it pretty much assures that you will eventually get infected because people will be carriers without knowing they are, which means i myself probably already formed part of the problem: https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/asymptomatic-carriers-are-fueling-the-covid-19-pandemic-heres-why-you-dont

How's your cold btw?

Oh we have destroyed entire ecosystems in the name of producing avocado, it wont be going away anytime soon, monocultures are like that. Yeah if i knew how the food market would change, you bet i would be making some investments, but alas, no insight here. I guess the survival of the avocado is a form of insight, now which companies tho?

Disaster funds are not meant to cover someone's paycheck, they are meant to secure a basic needs, food, shelter, you now know keeping you alive in the face of a disaster, it is not insurance. Wow not even tremors? with that said you must have one, it is like one of the basics roles of any state to guarantee the safety of its people when shit goes down.

However at that point you have to consider the POV of the companies that use those trade-lines, will they really let them die just like that?

Oof, that change things, since you have to aim to match and surpass the price before the pandemic i can see the complexity of it, i think that something that could raise up easily could be coffee, tea, and energy drinks, once people get back to their routines they will try to catch up so people will start seeking those boost, but in any case you are certainly more savvy in that aspect than i am, do you think your investments will do well too? also i can't think of any specific kind of foreign service industry that would rise up, it has to be something that would gain popularity and demand once community life goes back, mmmh concerts, entertainment? people joke a lot about barber shops and stylist, but that seems like something that will go up just for the first weeks, so what could benefit from a long lasting increase of value once normality returns? transportation?

Precious metal hoarders, that only pays up if the world actually goes to shit, the idea is that once society falls common currency will lose value and thus having invested in gold and silver becomes the actual best investment, Venezuelans that saw the economic crisis ahead of time did that, and it worked just ok, investing in foreign currency or digital services ended being a better move, i however don't know if that applies to this case, since we are comparing one nation to the world, however yeah precious metals, classic, plus investing in gold and silver will always pay up since the demand will always surpass the supply, the only way i can see it going down would be with the discovery and application of a material that can replace gold and silver, and even with that! you still have the world of fashion to fall back. With that said, i do see the issue if everyone goes and starts buying the same thing at the same time.

Video conferences eat up so much time man, never have i hated the internet so much, so you are working full time from home now? over here my U and lab will enter a 2 week administrative recess, everyone is telling me to use the time and decide how to deal with my thesis, some even tell me that 2 weeks is enough to reformulate and get things ready for this semester, but that sounds like a bad idea, since the jury needs 1 month to revise my work, so it literally would meant doing 5 months of work in 2 weeks, of course i am not starting from 0, but that sounds so risky.

Uncertainty mess you up horribly, because some times you don't even know how to prepare correctly since you don't even know what will happen, there's psychological training about how to deal with it, there's a big catch tho, a huge part about it means you have to become comfortable with uncertainty, and you may lose part of your sense of urgency which is super important.

Yeah so you know how random events have an average of 50%? a randomly low just takes something low, like a 0.01 and then cuts it in half. Better than nothing tho.

Only one that i am familiar with.
Well you know what that paper you shared there has in common with my thesis? neither of them has trials to take them out of the hypothesis field. Do you think i can do that? maybe i can cheese it and say that my thesis is just an hypothesis presentation? na, that contradicts the definition itself of a thesis, man, maybe i will cancel this sempstress, thinking about it some more, once things go to normal people wont have the time to go and serve as experimental subjects since they will be dealing with their own catching up. Anyway interesting paper tho, hope they get some positive results i wish them a P < .001 (it means the evidence is not due to randomness but probably to the sustained hypothesis).

That sounds like a great plan. Definitively stress is a problem specially for people that are not accustomed to such a change in life style, it gets worse if people somatize their stress because they will feel physically ill, which would increase their stress, at some point even making them think that they have things that they actually don't have.

Yeah an immune response that is too strong means that your own system will start attacking even your healthy cells, which happens a lot in respiratory diseases. https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/qa/what-can-happen-if-your-immune-system-is-working-too-hard

Droplets are heavy so they don't last too long in the air, of course they can travel by air, but they wont last in the air. When people talk they naturally spit in front of them, some more than others, so yes that means it will pass things, but it is more like a water spray rather than an aerosol kind of deal.

Doomroar 2020-04-03 10:44:12

It can survive for 1.2 hours on its aerosol form: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2004973

Mmmh i guess if you are in an enclosed environment and close to someone, just talking to them will indeed get you infected, this is a problem tho, while an hour is not long, it is long enough for you to get a bit paranoid.

Get hand moisturizer, i had to buy and start using it constantly because how often i had to wash my hands after my internship at the psychiatric hospital. It is a superficial solution tho, your hands will get damaged by the soap too, since soap can remove even your skin cells.

Oh they better show us how they will do in their adult ages, i want a 20 and 40 years later from the decks of the world (they are cover stories segments that show you what everyone is doing, another reason to read the manga).

Ooooh, Smoker and Hina is a good match indeed, you got me there, i don't they have a father daughter relationship, when Law swapped their hearts in punk hazard i certainly didn't got that feel. Also i don't like Tashigi x Zoro, because she just looks too much like Kuina and i don't want her to be a replacement, plus we have the new girl now, and boy it is some spicy stuff, i tell you Sanji hates Zoro, Brook got straight out jealous, man when they animate that part is gonna be great.

We are still some ways away from the event itself, but we are closing it, i think Big Mom will put some fools in their place before we get to that part, Big Mom has some baddass moments too.

Doomroar 2020-04-06 16:32:17

One man's end of the world scenario is another man's opportunity to graduate!

So did you end doing the work out? or did it became one of those "the trick is that tomorrow will never come, because we live in today" situations?
Seg sounds hardcore.

As a matter of fact, yes, but when they meant that for pre teenagers, because intense work out can mess with normal development.

Well, i have to do and done things like take out the trash, and buy occasional groceries, plus my mother had to go to the bank at least once, so there are some middle chances that i am a carrier even without the symptoms, then again i haven't come across anyone with symptoms, of course i am just assuming things.

Good to hear, de gozaru.
Yeah those test would come in handy, i am looking forward more to the vaccine tho.

The only way i could see the Colombian avocado industry dying from this, is if our farmers get destroyed by the virus, which can happen in 2 ways:

First one, they draw a lost during this month and the following one and enter in debt, this could happen if some laws from some opportunistic politicians pass forcing the prices of food to drop in order to be more affordable to the general population, cheaper food may be great for everyone that buys it, but it may out right kill people selling it. These laws are being proposed by people trying to gain public favor, and you can see how in the long run it can open itself for disaster, specially because no one is thinking about how the food producers would make up for the lost.

Second one, they get killed by the virus, the rural areas have a low access to medical care, some time no access to medical care, that means that if the virus hits an avocado plantation, the workers there will pretty much have to fend for themselves, and i really doubt that a company working on monocrops would put an emphasis on worker health care out of nowhere.

There are probably other ways things could go wrong for the avocado industry in Colombia, but those are the 2 scenarios that i can see happening, of course, that doesn't means that the companies would just let all the investments they put go in flames, at least not just because they draw a lost for a couple of months or all their workers died, some of the lands those avocados are being grown, were stolen using the armed conflict as an strategy, they were designated as national parks, or reservoirs for our native people, they the lands that those social leaders that get killed each 4 days were trying to protect, remember that paper? so people that do things like that will cheat their back again into survival. I do think that even with a small deep in the stock market the avocado industry will ultimately recover and raise again.

You must have, for example the current president at the beginning of last year, tried to redirect the disaster funds and the public funds for some other thing towards a new fund to support the banking debt, and he kind of managed to get away with it, which now must be biting us all in the ass, anyway not even with that much corruption did we end without a disaster fund, that's how basic a thing it is, BTW now that i think about it, banks! invest in a bank, banks are those kind of business that entire governments will try and bail out and save using the money from the tax payers, is a great inversion, if you find how to do it please tell me.

Yeah disaster funds are meant to cover the basics for individual survival, food, water, clothing, shelter, things like that, rather than business, they aim to safeguard the interest of persons rather than legal persons like businesses, i don't know if there's a mechanism for that, it sounds like a well planned society should have an answer to those cases, i suppose a capitalist society would use credit loans with low interest, because capitalism, a socialist one would have a fund, and a mix of those 2 would have a fund to finance the credit loans that would be given by the government itself, i believe Colombia works with this mechanism because that's the mechanism we use for higher education ICETEX is a credit loan that university students can take, but that it is created by public funding, and it is a common system world over, as messed up as it is, but maybe Europe has something else.

Is money on the line, think about it in an utilitarian and capitalist system, how many people would have to die before you are willing to cut your loses which may run in the the billions of €? in the long run it may give you more profit, but as it stands you already have a system that gives you money, and changing it infers taking on risks, since global response seems to have been opportune the board in charge of such routes may just keep them until something actually goes terribly wrong.

You think that the phone and entertainment companies that benefit from the current lifestyle will keep their spot once people go back to their normal routines, for example, how do you think Netflix will fare once people get busy again? Man the day we no longer need weapons is the day we get world peace, in a way each time someone wishes for peace they are also wishing you for financial lost hahahaha, i do think it is a good investment, conflict it is a basic part of relationships, and we are far from overcoming the use of arms as part of conflict. Gaming platforms? oh so you are banking on that clutch release of the PS5 and XBox Series X at the end of this year? no wonder you are worried with the announcement of delays, yeah i would be sweating too.

Oh man that sounds like straight out gambling.

Hey man i am all for people investing on science and medicine go for it! 5G will do fine, probably even better now that people have been forced to stream and browse for extended periods of time, so news of a technology promising a better connection would be really convenient, because now people have experienced an actual need for it.

Doomroar 2020-04-06 16:34:15

I am a fan of solar energy and vertical gardens, and food computers, the later tho seems to be far far far away from being practical.

That's really unlikely they are rare metals for a reason, more likely would be discovering an asteroid full of rare metals, that would both ignite an space age, and make the market for those metals drop, or maybe not, because we would be entering a second space age, that would be cool.

Well you know caffeine IS a drug, so... Oh don't worry about it, only small coffee farms actually have to deal with such things, the coffee from farms that manages to be exported can access to the credits i mentioned to you in the other post, because banks themselves and the government invest in them: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-colombia-coffee/colombia-to-create-fund-to-rescue-coffee-farmers-when-prices-drop-idUSKCN1U71Q0 hell we have banks named after coffee companies is pretty much a mafia.

Those small coffee farmers have had a lot of problems for a lot of time, last year they even did 2 public strikes: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-21582631 you may notice something contradictory with those links? if the banks and the government are subsidizing coffee farmers, then why are the coffee farmers doing strikes demanding subsides? well because only the big coffee farmers are getting the money.

Coffee farming is a horrible business for small companies, and the common man, the independent farmer, the family business, you either go big and international, or... that's when certain groups enter offering that you use your land to grow different kind of plants that can keep you awake.

Congratulations on the raise!
I plan on writing to my supervisor, tell him to qualify me as incomplete, and finish it up next semester, i don't think i can do much on these 2 weeks.

Indeed a competent leader should be able to maintain both, i think i am too carefree for that.

I meant to wrote semester and it ended as sempstress.
Oh man, if Linus Pauling had his way, i would be sporting a tattoo on my forehead right now, not like i need one, the fact that i use glasses already lets everyone know that poor eyesight is on my genes, how about you? if Mr Pauling's eugenics project had come to fruition, would you have a forehead tattoo too?

The bad effects of stress are ever growing, at times it is almost a catch it all explanation for every single illness, however stress can be good too in moderation.

An over active immune system, that's what i am referring to. It is also how allergies work.

All the more reason to have soap and surface disinfectant around.

Good to hear you are prepared. Have you seen if the same happens when you wear gloves to work? maybe it is a chronic skin condition, dry skin usually gets worse in summer, and if you have dry skin constant use of soap can make it worse, good thing you have all those counters for it.

Na, na, the cover stories from the decks of the world are for current events, we have had them every now and then, showing us what is going on with everyone else:
https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Where_They_Are_Now
https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/From_the_Decks_of_the_World
https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/From_the_Decks_of_the_World:_The_500,000,000_Man_Arc

Feel free to see them, they don't have any spoilers some stuff the anime covered, some stuff it didn't and it should have been covered.

I said that Oda should show us how things go 20 and 40 years from now, because on the SBS (the Q&A section that Oda has on the volumes) Oda has shown us the physical appearances of some characters at age 40 and 60, giving us 2 alternate endings, one in which things go fine and one in which things go wrong, all in a comical sense of course:
For Ace if he had lived:
https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_89#Chapter_896.2C_Page_136
Luffy: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_89#Chapter_897.2C_Page_154
Sabo: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_90#Chapter_908.2C_Page_156
Zoro: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_91#Chapter_917.2C_Page_140
Nami: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_92#Chapter_930.2C_Page_164

And Usopp, this one is risky because it is from a volume ahead of the anime: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_94#Chapter_946.2C_Page_78

So since he in a way, has already shown us adult Luffy and old Luffy, i feel like he should just go all in and show us the world 20 and 40 years in the future, since he opened the can of worms.

Btw, here's Big Mom at ages 28 and 48: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/0/0d/SBS86_Young_Mom.png/revision/latest?cb=20170805214605

But the ages of Kunia and Tashigi don't match up...

Brook's reaction is the best man, i really want them to nail that moment.

I wanted to cut it down too, and now... it ended like this.

Doomroar 2020-04-11 11:25:40

It only works if you are in movement tho, if you are sitting at a desk is not much of a big brain move.

Better late than never.

Yeah, you just have to wait and see.

Totally, imagine if the antibodies made with a rushed vaccine would target neurons related to something more critical than your sleep cycle? that's why medical trials are so important. Hell no microchips are a horrible idea, once you get one you get your mind open for more, and then its use normalizes, what i like of both my computer and phone is that even if i see them as part of myself they are not part of my body.

Just to burn them off? not even trying to sell them for cheap in a shady market? man that's such a waste in so many levels.

Good point, good point. I suppose those that are landing out loans to business in the service industry would be making a good profit once the crisis passes, but i guess you would need some inside knowledge to find out which ones are doing that. But i think that's what is called insider trading and may be illegal depending of the country... unless the info is out there in the open.

Maybe is worth giving it a search, for people like your sis for example who may benefit from the existence of something like that, with that said maybe she is better off without taking a loan even if is offered by the government.

Nope as far as i know all our streaming services are international, even the most popular phone companies are international in origin i think, at one point the merging kind of made difficult keep track of where things started.

Well information is a weapon, and the internet is known as the 5th domain, so i pretty much agree with general Brown on this video (BTW the video IS weapon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOTYgcdNrXE
Of course that's not the future, but now, is not even the present, Nazi Germany had a department of propaganda after all. I recomend the other weapons on that channel, they cover FB, Twitter, Reddit, and other common battlegrounds of the Cyber Domain.
You can take over grids with current tech no need for 5G for that really.
In the end something that outright kills people will never fail out of favor, if you can force someone to pay the ultimate price they will think twice about it.

Well there's speculation that the current pandemic may delay production and the next gen consoles may nor release on time for the holidays which is the peak season for companies to release new products, thus pushing it in the worst case for an entire year, or to release off season.

You sound well adjusted to uncertainty to me, if you see everything as a gamble XD (even if deep down it is).

Oh man i have you THE VIDEO for that, it is something that has happened before mostly with Wind Turbines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9ckNLI9dRc that video is also a weapon, and is more malicious that the previous one, hell it can backfire if you are prone to believe in conspiracies. You are gonna make me feel real bad if you start believing that wind turbines make people sick, you should invest in those BTW, since you are looking for alternative energy production.

You know 5G doesn't does anything extraordinarily different to make you sick that current tech already does, it is the combination of wireless tech that we already use, in essence is the union of 3 different band spectrum in order to exploit the strength and weaknesses of each other, the coordination of these bands is what makes 5G in a way your current phone should be able to already be compatible with 5G, and depending of were you live your cellphone antenna may already be a 5G antenna for a long time.

I really don't see what the mystery people see on this.

Doomroar 2020-04-11 11:27:11

A food computer is a computer that manages an artificial environment, like a small green house whose atmosphere can be controlled, things like the level of humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure, light, creating something like a recipe for the ideal conditions in which to grow a corp, however the lead researcher straight out lied on the results in order to get founding.

A vertical garden, is an indoors garden whose space use is mostly vertical, and depends primarily on artificial light and hydroponics in order to grow plants.

I love solar energy too, the problem is its efficiency and its not so green carbon footprint involved in the development of the panels...

It is addictive, can lead blood pressure problems, hearth disease, insomnia, among other things, as far as drugs go i think is around as bad as sugar, except that we do use sugar in order to live.

Coffee cherries are actually quite sweet, and apparently have more caffeine that the seeds, i like them more than coffee which i actually find too bitter to be enjoyable, if i have to drink black coffee i must pour at least 6 small spoons worth of sugar on it, that or burn my tongue with the first sip.

Coffee over here is extremely cheap both in price and quality, is probably one of the cheapest things you can get, a coup of water is more expensive than a coup of coffee, despite water being an ingredient of coffee...

Apparently the really good stuff is always exported, so chances are the common Colombia hasn't tasted good coffee XD, and it is indeed a big part of the culture, hell an entire region is officially named after coffee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombian_coffee_growing_axis , so unless you go to a really good restaurant or travel to the eje cafetero you wouldn't have taste good coffee in Colombia.

Well it depends, i agree with most of those statements, except with one, it is not necessarily healthier, because not all independent and small farmers will use the right pest control, however with the new farmer communities that's starting to be less of a problem, but still some will use the cheaper even if more toxic option, and at the end of the day organic farming is a label that can be abused in technicalities.

Yeah if you manage to thrive as an independent farmer, it sounds like a good business.

He doesn't gains nothing by refusing the request.

Pulling your hair out from the stress kind of guy? personally when i get stressed i just go and sleep for half a day, i am that kind of guy, no one else i know is like that.

All of that part was about Mr Pauling's eugenics project, he proposed to put tattoos on the foreheads of people with genetic deficiencies, as warning to discourage potential partners, that's why i said that i would have ended with a tattoo if his project had worked out, since i use glasses. What else have you found about him? i was sure that was what you were talking about.

I was thinking more about how tomatoes would get bigger, sweeter, and juicier when put under stress, kind of stress. But yeah getting shit done kind of stress is also good stress.

Are you allergic to gluten tho? man that's harsh.

I mean i don't think he would go and show us a bad future, after all it is a future that would happen after they all accomplish their dreams, i would love to see that.
You brave bastard! i hope you didn't scroll up or down. Come on he looks totally different at age 40 when "something" happens he even got fat, lol at saying that Luffy and Zoro are his disciples, that is so Usopp.

I know right no wonder she got to birth 85 children, and maybe she didn't rape all of her husbands.

Indeed Tashigi isn't Zoro's age, she is older by 2 years.
When Kuina dies she was 11 and Zoro was 10.
When Zoro encounters Tashigi he was 19, and Tashigi was 21. Therefore it is impossible for Tashigi to be a reincarnation of Kunia since she was already alive for quite some time before Kunia died.
Also this is what Tashigi looked like when she was a child: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_68#Chapter_673.2C_Page_122
Every time i link the wiki i give you more reasons to read the manga XD.

Doomroar 2020-04-18 11:31:53

Look at you being all Piccolo about it.

Seems like a good case for someone to investigate over, but if it was in the news and nothing happened i guess that was that.

I have no idea how insider trading works over here, probable a grey area.

Yo the government frees you of your loans over there? holly shit man, that sounds too good to be true, is like a wet dream.

Netflix has become quite common, since 2 years ago. We used to have something like 20 different companies that offered cellphone services, cable, and internet, they all merged and now we have 3 + the government developed one.

Yeah Dustin covers all kind of topics, which surprises me a great deal.

I mean you say aha, but look news like these are common: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-16/sony-is-said-to-plan-limited-playstation-5-output-in-first-year

I think fearing change has it good things, it shows that you have achieved a certain degree of well-being in life.

Bruh... this probably wont help but, if wind turbines and cellphone towers were the cause behind maladies, even the animals would suffer the symptoms but they don't.

Oh man you are deep on it, but i know the best argument to deal with this kind of situation, i will leave it to time to prove us right or wrong.

Nothing will happen, nothing ever happens, every single year some guy comes talking about a new end of the world scenario, and the world doesn't ends, we are in the middle of a global pandemic, and the world doesn't ends, fuck it the world didn't even had the decency to be on hold for a couple of months it just keep going.

You know, a part of me wants you to be right, and awaits with longing for your fears to be real, except that your fears are slow as fuck, and they are 3 months too late, like my thesis. Sorry man i didn't want to get personal, but the apocalypse failed me by being more panic that fire, and i am in the process of getting over it.

So they decided to go back to the usual calendar, so that month extension i said i had, is now gone...

Doomroar 2020-04-18 11:32:26

Like it or not, they seem effective enough to grow certain plants in places were otherwise farming would have been quite limited. Also they don't use soil but water.

Yo! a Dyson sphere!? if we can't even get people comfortable with the idea of 5G, something like harvesting the energy of the sun will never happen.

Not a fan at all.

Oh that has happened in here too, the guerrillas bombed the companies tho, so the people got back their human right of access to affordable potable water, i am not condoning terrorism tho, but...
Kids drink coffee too, it was not until like 15 or so years ago that it became common knowledge that kids shouldn't be drinking coffee so soon, that said just because people know that they should be drinking coffee doesn't means they wont give them coffee, the addiction starts early over here.

It doesn't usually gets mentioned a lot, if at all, but one of our main exports is flowers, so maybe you guys have something similar to that, something really popular but easy to forget.

Good thing you are not addicted to coffee right?

Na, i am surrounded by neurotics, matter of fact apparently being neurotic is normal, when i learned that in class i wanted to argue an objection, but then i realized that i would be getting myself in an argument against a neurotic... and well if most of the people are like that, i guess that would make it normal in a way. And well they went on about the Big Five personality traits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits and my personality is pretty made mostly of the inverse of the big 5.

The common Colombian will under stress become a wreck and pray to god a lot, then make an scene, get drunk, and then maybe do something about it, in a complicate and recursive manner, they will be really active and inefficient in the stress management. And apparently if you don't drink beer regularly you are not a real Colombian, i learned that from another Colombian on the internet, it seems that i am a fake for i don't really drink alcohol, i am fine with it, i don't think alcohol should be part of your identity nor a common way to solve your problems, but whatever.

Yeah the only ones that actually get away with being late regularly over here are the public transport industry, you are expected to know this and be on time regardless of the very valid excuse that public transportation sucks, which i do think is totally unfair.

Cold showers do nothing to me in order to wake me up, they kind of get me in the mood to keep sleeping since they fresh me up.

I get that part, but what was the bad stuff you found about him, if it wasn't his eugenics project?

I suppose if you bake your own bread it is more manageable.

Oh come on that was a one time thing! good good, then you are spoiler free.

She popped 85 children out of her vagina, at one time she gave birth to 10 at the same fucking time! https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Charlotte_Decuplets ok... maybe not at once, but on the same pregnancy, with that said, she is big enough to birth 10 babies at once... well it doesn't really matters how, she gave birth to them one way or another, and to 75 other kids, some of which have kids of their own, she is a fertile woman, who spend most of her life pregnant and somehow became an emperor of the seas, a monster in every sense of the word. Big Mom, literally.

Naruto of all things, some people regret the time they spend reading it, others go and give it their money... fine!

Enjoy your totally not homoerotic story between a furry blonde and an emo war criminal, as they rediscover the power of friendship while being guided by the reincarnated wills of the sons of a bunny moon goddess, and then! do enjoy your read as you transition into the misadventures of Boruto. Also Hinata becomes flat-chested.

What the hell man, of all the manga you could go and buy, Naruto of all things, at least try to get into Jojo dammit!
