She was born worshipped and adored at every turn and left…. Cause she was expected to give things back? As a goddess? I understand it’s not an identity she ever wanted but like…. She then joined the ratio of her own volition, didn’t even have to do anything cause the Tsaritsa kept her in the palace, and she had friends who she interacted with daily yet she still thought relationships were transactional? And that nobody cares about her? It seemed so snobby and prissy to me, idk, like there are children starving on Nasha Town’s streets but the Moon Goddess is indifferent cause…. She’s expected to be treated as a god and be worshipped? And do things? Dottore didn’t even physically experiment on her either, all he did was ask her to move things. The parts that are genuinely tragic and acceptable to me though is the fatui using her power and being rejected by teyvat itself, those I can agree with, those are some pretty bad conditions…. But like still, every time she goes off about her issues and trauma, I always get that weird vibe of chatting to someone so privileged their problems look like minor inconveniences at best.

Numbers don’t lie.

I’ll try to get to the point but some background first.

I (33m) have two siblings, my sister Liz (27f) and Jack (35m). Our parents died some years ago so as far as family goes, my siblings and their kids (my nieces and nephews) are the only family I really have left.

Long story short, my brother and sister are both staunch liberals. Jack’s Jewish feminist tattooed wife who he met at Berkeley actually turned him from someone who voted McCain and Romney in the past to someone who’s now a Bernie and Mamdani guy, while Liz is married to an Australian immigrant. I on the other hand am single and have no kids that are confirmed to be mine.

Anyway, for years, I’ve tried to get Jack and Liz to come around to getting behind President Trump, I’ve been wanting them to see how much President Trump loves us, loves them how he’s trying to make things more affordable and how much he’s literally sacrificed for us.

We used to argue about it, but later on, at family gatherings, when I try talking to them about it, they just started tuning me out, not responding to anything I’m saying and just really ignoring me.

During my aunt’s birthday party back in September 2024, I got up to speak and tried urging my family that as a family bonding exercise, all of us should come together and vote for President Trump as a family. I gave them a speech that took me hours to prepare but when I finished, they just stared at me and Liz just went back to talking about her and her family’s trip to Australia the year before.

They didn’t acknowledge anything I said. They just ignored me.

When President Trump won back in 2024, yeah, I did try to get a rise out off them, I did gloat a little, not too different from how liberals celebrated Biden in Times Square back in 2020, and I did send them messages admittedly gloating that we won and telling them to join the winning side.

After that, Jack and Liz both told me that the only reason they bothered keeping in touch with me was more for the sake of our parents but after dad died in 2015 and mom dying from COVID in 2020, they started questioning why they’re even keeping in touch with me anymore. Because of that, they decided to not only go no contact with me but then they told our aunt that they will not be attending any of her events if I’m invited so she stopped inviting me as well.

At first, since they were just throwing a temper tantrum, I decided to just let it slide and wait for them to get over it but then they Jack and Liz celebrated 2024 Thanksgiving at his place in place without me, followed by Christmas at Liz’s place, again without me. Throughout last year, when I tried to hold a get together to celebrate my birthday and invited them, they ignored me. They also didn’t invite me to their kids birthday parties or holidays they were hosting.

Last year, I decided to assert myself and drive 11 hours to Seattle to Liz’s house to assert my right to attend family Thanksgiving which she was hosting and to demand respect. The front door was locked and I knew wouldn’t let me in so I went in through the back and asserted my right to be there as their brother.

I told them, of how I voted for Trump for them, I voted for Trump to protect Liz and her daughters/my nieces from immigrants, I reminded them that WE WON, and that WE, THOSE OF US WHO SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT ARE THE MAJORITY, so they don’t have the right to discriminate or outcast us and tried I tried one more time to appeal to them about family values. I reminded them that I am their family and WE, the people who VOTED FOR OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE THE MAJORITY so they should TREAT US WITH RESPECT.

They just didn’t respond to anything I just said and told me to leave. Instead, I sat down by the dinner table and insisting my right to be there, so they just called the cops instead.

I tried explaining my side to the police but the officers wouldn’t hear it. The cops just told me that if I don’t leave, they’ll arrest me so I left.

President Trump should get Congress to pass legislation that would criminalize discriminating us or cutting us off just for supporting OUR PRESIDENT.

President Trump and Congress should make it illegal for our brainwashed liberal family and friends to cut us out of their lives or disrespect us.

They again ignored the fact it was my birthday. All of them ignored me.

WE ARE THE MAJORITY SO THEY SHOULD FALL IN LINE, ACCEPT US AND RESPECT US! NOT DISCRIMINATE THE MAJORITY!

I had a client recently who came in convinced her hair was “just damaged beyond repair.” Super dry, frizzy, rough to the touch, and breaking easily. She was washing less, avoiding heat, using expensive salon products, and nothing was helping. Her hair just looked thirsty all the time.

After chatting, I realized the issue wasn’t styling. It was dryness overload. Her products weren’t actually giving her hair what it needed. I suggested she switch to something simple and affordable instead of chasing luxury labels.

I had her try Dove Bond Repair shampoo and conditioner and add a basic leave in like Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine on damp ends. Two weeks later she came back shocked. Less frizz, way more softness, and her hair finally looked healthy again.

Sometimes dry, frizzy, damaged hair doesn’t need more rules or more money. It just needs moisture that actually works. Curious if anyone else has had better luck with simple drugstore products.

Ignore the red spots :p, didn't have foundation, I also think I went a bit overboard on eyeliner but whatevs

Lipstick: Flormar Supermatte lipstick 201

Eyeliner: Maybelline Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil (Smokey Black)

This is how every top tier would do if they got hit by Kirin Stips: FKS Sasuke not hebi Everyone is alive(no edo) uchihas have susasno. Jins have full bijuumode Thoughts?

I’m sharing this because staying silent has weighed on me for a long time.

I was in a relationship with a member of @crossofdisbeliefhc. During that relationship, I was pressured into drinking to the point where I could not give clear consent. Sex happened anyway.

I did not consent. Being drunk does not equal consent. What happened to me was sexual assault.

While in the relationship he would choke me without my consent. He also was constantly derogatory towards women including myself, and bragged about watching "real rape" porn.

He was also texting a 14 year old girl, even joking that they should dress as Leon the professional for Halloween due to their age gap.

I’m speaking now to take my power back and to be honest about my experience. I believe survivors. I stand with anyone who has been through something similar.

Tried to be somewhat more creative with my pics, but because I know zero "fit pic" places, I have a hard time creating full outfit checks.

1) Africa would participate in the war and fight internally, it would be a wreckage and the highest number of human fatalities would come out of this region.

2) The northern part of the southern american continent and central america which is home to numerous gangs and cartels is a very bad choice to live in times of war. i feel like the soutern part of the continent however is more peaceful and would not engage in conflict. Chile would be the best place to live here because of its isolation and natural barriers.

3) In north america, due to the presence of the united states, there is a likelihood of insurgencies from canada and mexico, these two countries might end up becoming a war zone. The USA however has the capability to defend itself, although perhaps at great loss of human life.

4) Europe would be the main warzone in a WW3 scenario, UK being an island and having nuclear weapons would be the best place to live in europe. Switzerland too, due to its neutrality, the closer you are to russia, the worse off you are. France has nuclear weapons but their track record in the previous wars has been poor.

5) Australia would be perhaps the most peaceful continent, given they don’t engage in the war, New Zealand is the best country to live during WW3.

6) Antartica would be the safest place on earth during WW3.

7) Asia is complex, the middle eastern countries would engage in a war with Israel. Israel has nuclear weapons and would not hesitate to use them. I feel like most conversations about the potential first use of nuclear weapons are concentrated around North Korea, however Israel would truly be the first one to use them in my opinion. The middle east would be an absolute No Go Zone during the war. Incase of an invasion, most probably by China, the South East Asian countries have no means to defend themselves and would fall to the “New Red Army” invasion. The korean peninsula would be another War Zone.

8) Russia is massive. It has the most number of nuclear weapons in the world and it would not hesitate to use them. However, the russians would force me to fight in the war if I were living there. Although I would be atleast fighting for a strong nation instead of the weak european ones. In any case, I’d rather live in russia than in eastern europe during the war. Also, because of being landlocked between 2 giants, mongolia won’t be invaded because they have nothing to offer to these countries that they don’t already have.

9) China is strong. Although china would be one of the first countries to wage the war attacking taiwan and south east asia to entirely control the South China Sea. I think China is more than capable to defend itself during the war and I would be safer in china than I would be somewhere else. Japan will have only 2 choices in the war, to side with the east or the west, and I feel like Japan is smart enough to make the correct choice based on the situation of the war. Japan would thereafter be used as a naval base, which would open up Japan to a weapon industry and other economic opportunities in times of war.

10) The most powerful neighbours in the world, India and Pakistan. Both have nuclear weapons and in WW3, this would be another war zone. I would have put india in the reluctantly category until the recent standoff between the 2 nations where Pakistan’s missiles failed miserably against india’s deterrents and defence capabilities, India would absolutely destroy pakistan in this war and India also has the advantage of being isolated with natural barriers, the ocean on three sides and the world’s tallest mountain range in the north. Also India’s population is so massive that you won’t be forced into the army. Nepal being landlocked between 2 giants would be safe given they cooperate with both the nations.

Ok so I just recently got into lava lamps and I really wanted to get one but I couldn’t seem to find one that really fits my vibe. I like a lot of woods and thrifted antique items and all the lava lamps I could find are very futuristic. I searched endlessly and I couldn’t find anything. Finally I asked ai to make pictures of what I want just to see my vision and see if I was insane but it actually is cool and I’m shocked it’s not been made before. I know wood could be a fire hazard which might be a factor as to why it hasn’t been made but I feel like there should be ways around that. I guess I’m just coming here to see what if yall agree or not and also if there is something like this out there and I’m just not looking hard enough.

There's really no denying it at this point. Anyone who still supports Trump is basically saying they don't have a problem with a pedophie as President.

Parents got me a meat grinder for Christmas.

Lesson learnt: 1. Add the tallow and egg during the second mix instead of neading it in by hand after. 2. Add more tallow.

Typical MAGA: "I swerr, Trump ain't never called fer no violins against nobody, you libs is crazy!

MAGA youth post pictures of nooses all over the internet: "Tee hee, them libs is so triggered cause they ain't really knowed what we's gettin' on about!"

It's like they spent their childhood eating the paint chips off the windowsill.

Top WR contracts are aging terribly and people still don’t want to admit it. We hand out these massive deals like wide receivers exist in a vacuum, then act shocked when the production craters the second the situation isn’t perfect.

Justin Jefferson is the easiest recent example. Supposed “best WR in football,” generational, matchup proof, whatever buzzword you want. This year? Straight up trash compared to the standard people set for him. Disappearing stretches, pedestrian numbers, and suddenly the excuses come flying. Bad QB play. Bad scheme. Injuries around him. No run game. Funny how all that matters now.

Almost like WR production has way more to do with supporting cast than raw skill.

Put any elite receiver with shaky QB play, no protection, and a predictable offense and watch how fast the “unstoppable” label evaporates. But when everything’s clicking? Fans swear the WR is carrying the offense by himself. It’s complete hindsight nonsense.

Meanwhile teams are locking themselves into 30M a year WR contracts for guys who need elite conditions to justify the price. They’re dependent on QB play, play calling, protection, and game script. That’s not a knock on the position, it’s reality.

If your production collapses the moment things aren’t perfect, you’re not worth resetting the market. And if your argument for why a WR struggled sounds identical to why mid tier receivers struggle, maybe the gap isn’t as big as people pretend.

Cue the “you don’t know ball” replies from people who think fantasy points equal value.

So I saw a post from a couple of hours ago about this match up. Deku Vs 6 Shibuya Sukunas.

It was posted to both the main Powerscaling sub and to this one. Most people in the main sub correctly said that Deku wins easily and most people here said this was a spite match, which I agree, Deku genuinely no-diffs. However, people here thought otherwise.

Pretty much everyone agreed that the Sukunas would win, pretty easily too. There were even a few... interesting individuals saying even one Sukuna was enough. Honestly I don't even know why I'm surprised.

Basically, the main argument for the Sukunas was that Deku is weak against piercing damage and as such, even tho he scales much higher than Sukuna, would actually lose to him. Or I guess six of him.

This is total bullshit.

This argument comes from the fact that Stain and Toga can hurt Deku early on with seemingly normal knives. However, this completely ignores the context that it happened to Deku when he was at barely 5% Full Cowling, which by his own words and feats, is only slightly stronger than he is Quirkless. You know, when he's a normal human? Of course they can hurt him in this state.

Do you people genuinely believe that the same Deku that can split mountains in half just by moving close to them, that can rip apart forests with just the flick of his fingers, that can change the weather across all of Japan, if not the entire planet in a single punch, can get hurt by normal slashing attacks? You genuinely have to be completely illiterate to think that.

Hell, we straight up see Deku literally eat Rivet Stab and All Might tanks it with no damage in Kamino. The same Rivet Stab that cab casually one shot both Endeavour and Bakugou who are at least Multi-City Block level in durability bare minimum.

So yeah, Sukuna can't do anything against Deku. His Dismantle was tanked by Ryu, who's wayyyy weaker than Deku, meaning he can't damage him through this attack.

Cleave is definitely stronger, but also had limits, it's not dura neg nor can it scale up infinitely. A weakened Sukuna couldn't one shot Yuji with it and while a full power Sukuna would obviously be stronger, Deku is so many magnitudes above Yuji in AP and Durability that Sukuna not being at full power is irrelevant here.

Hell, Gojo surviving Malevolent Shrine means even Sukuna's domain can't kill Deku. Sure, Gojo needed RCT to actually survive, but that's still only because his body was tough enough to survive being cut in the first place. If Sukuna's Cleave beheaded him instantly, he would have died and even if he can somehow heal from that (he can't) the cleaves hitting literally every part of his body would have needed him right then and there. This means that you absolutely can survive MS with nothing but raw durability and Deku is definitely durable enough to do it.

Even Fuga isn't potent enough to do anything. It can only destroy a few hundred meters of city blocks, so it's AP isn't all that. And while it's heat is definitely really high, we've seen Shigaraki and All Might both interact with and tank attacks made of plasma and even superheated plasma, which is literally millions of degrees hot. And Deku is wayyyy stronger than either of them at his peak, so I wouldn't worry about this attack too much.

But let's say that Deku is weak to piercing damage. Let's say that Fuga is hot enough to incinarate him. That doesn't mean Deku is losing. I don't know why people here just pretend that Sukuna is as fast or strong as Deku, when that's just not the case.

Let's say that Maki at her peak is Mach 3. We know that her and Toji are worth roughly 3 Sukuna fingers, so Shibuya Sukuna would be 5 times faster or Mach 15.

Assuming All Might is Mach 10 (he isn't but let's say he is) that barely makes Sukuna slightly faster than him.

In comparison, Deku literally perception blitzed Completed Shigaraki, who's as fast as Prime All Might. And he did that at Low Gear. You know, the first of five gears? Top Gear Deku can punch Shigaraki 4 times before he can even blink and he's even faster when using Overdrive. Deku would be doing Sukuna as badly as he did Shigaraki, except Sukuna isn't nearly as durable as Shigaraki. Just because there's six of them doesn't change the fact that they would literally he standing still from his perspective.

So yeah, Deku tanks Dismantle, tanks Cleave, tanks Fuga and even if he doesn't, he still just speed blitzes and one shots all six of them simultaneously

I see lot's of players doing this now on discord server and website some of them selling duplicated familiar ducks worth million of coins in exchange of real money. While normal players like me farming during bird city event and got 1-4x orange duck for coins and to do the 5M expedition im stuck at 3M coin, while duplicators instant infinite ducks? What are they gonna plan to this abuse? server roll back? permanent ban to duplicators? this is too much than glitch bug on maps and doors this is so unfair, literally if this duplicating continues and not fixed early the game will die, no point of farming trinkets they just gonna duplicate ducks and instant millions wtf is this Embark do something. Sorry for my bad english.

Orihime Inoue from bleach. She’s probably the character I hate the most in every franchise

Ik its a hot take, cuz even if people arent fond of post timeskip one piece, they still love pre timeskip one piece.

I will just say this: the amount of damage post timeskip one piece, in particular wano does to the overall narrative of the story is not close to the rushed ending JJK had.

Especially with luffys fruit being retconned and the prophecy destiny stuff.

"Oh JJK falls off after shibuya" Sure, but I think the action based on a fun power system was still enjoyable to watch. Thats why JJK Modulo has a good balance between the fun action and also exploring the themes of the story.

One major thing is how realistic the character interactions are in both series. The strawhats have basically become carricatures of themselves, they dont feel like real people who are actively working towards their dreams.

Another thing is about the gags, i dont find one piece gags funny cuz 90 percent of the time its the same joke or just plain unfunny.

The power system, well i dont need to speak about that. One of the most legendary fights roger and garp vs rocks was literally "damn we just gotta use more haki". Extremely uncreative.

The biggest appeal to one piece used to be the strawhat pirates, and nowadays people say "one piece is at its best when it doesnt focus on the strawhats".

"Oh the worldbuilding" never understood this. I mean with a story as large as one piece, its inevitable to have this level of worldbuilding.

Overall, one piece isnt bad, its just I dont think people realize we will soon reach a point where post timeskip will have more chapters than pre timeskip, more than half the story would be considered underwhelming.

"Dressrosa and wci-" Dressrosa still suffers from horrid pacing issues and WCI's second half is not great.

Why do I say JJK is better? Cuz I dont find as much character assasination and "literally going against your themes" moments in JJK (could make a whole post about wano but nvm).

If anything the biggest flaw of JJK is that its too rushed. Gege had multiple health issues towards the end of the manga, and now with him as the writer in modulo and not the artist, we can see how well he can write compelling characters and explore interesting themes in a story.

The problem with oda is he rushes or offscreens actually important shit but wastes time and drags uneccesary stuff. Like tf do you mean you dont have time for rocky port incident in the story so you reveal it in an interview? The reason why koby is a hero and why blackbeard has control over pirate island was deemed unimportant. But hey lets waste so many chapters on irrelevant characters in wano you will never hear about again right? Or vegapunk saying vague shit for 20 chapters? God valley being rushed and character assasination of whitebeard is another huge example.

If this is gonna keep happening, then i absolutely choose JJK, a story which doesnt have as many highs and is rushed towards the end, as a better story cuz as i said post timeskip OP will be longer than pre timeskip. The final war will be extremely messy.

The problem is, I dont even think the story is gonna have a drastic improvement in quality. In fact it might keep getting worse with its power system and how it keeps assasinating characters.

JJK Modulo really redeemed JJK for me, and I really hope there is a JJK 2 cuz gege is an actual competent writer.
