Its not like they’re terrible and you need to power through, the early chapters go through arcs pretty quickly, and other than syrup village I don’t think any are really bad, just not quite the peak that justifies reading 1000+ chapters, but if you don’t think by the end of the first 50 or so chapters there’s anything to offer, and aren’t loving it by 100 then its probably not for you.

Like Baratie has some pretty epic battles, really great character moments in orange town, and Arlong Park is when it really hits its stride.

I like to say, if you don’t like the East Blue Saga, its probably not for you, but you kind of need to power through some of the earlier arcs as the author establishes the world and tone. If you don’t like it because Syrup Village is kind of a mess, you could easily miss out on a great series.

If watching 100hrs implies you enjoy it, then of course if you watch enough of it you will eventually enjoy it. You’re just not big brained enough to understand media literacy.

I have a roll of coins in my pocket, but I’m happy to see you so I can give you these coins. I also have a massive erection.

Erections are no joke. You could poke an eye out with one of those.

It’s because the cloth shrinks in the wash more than the zipper so in order to fit the longer zipper in the smaller cloth it needs to bulge out.

Define done? Even if the government gets completely dismantled in the short term, who knows what will happen in 10 years time. It will definitely take longer than that to rebuild our position of authority and influence in the global stage, if we ever achieve that, but it’s definitely doable in our lifetimes.

The D clan never left, they simply went into hiding until they were needed to usher in the new dawn.

Nice fantasy name generator you got there.

Novil the scholar approves while Junch the barbarian is wondering what those silly squiggles are.

Be very careful wheb defederating

No, it’s basically filling the role of an auto complete and search function for code based. We’ve had this for a while and it generally works better than a lot of stuff we’ve had in the past, but it’s certainly not replacing anyone any time soon.

No matter what kind of company you are, you have an obligation to follow the laws of whatever jurisdictions you’re doing business in.

Also, there’s actually a lot of leeway in regards to doing your fiduciary duty to your shareholders. You’re not obligated to maximize short term profits at the expense of long term (ie by retaining skilled employees). That’s usually just a shitty board trying to suck as much money out of a company as possible and a CEO who doesn’t want to get fired by the board.

I mean the whole metaverse thing was a long term play to capture a future market, which involved a lot of RnD money they just decided to light it on fire instead of making a useful product.

I"m not saying most democrats aren’t also corrupt, I’m just providing context as to what this executive order is attempting to accomplish.

It’s for his buddies who want to take over other countries’ governments with a flood of political “donations” like they do in the US.

Do you really want to merge with Quebec?

Someone who doesn’t interact well with people romantically or otherwise. I feel like flirting is 80-90% just being friendly and personable with maybe 10-20% flirting, especially early on. If they don’t understand how to to do the 80-90% well, they’re going to be grasping at straws figuring out how to relate to someone.

He doesn’t need plausible cover because his loyalists don’t care if he’s at fault or not just that he’s “hurting the right people”

It’s irrelevant to the overall point and comes across as a defense of Musk by attacking an irrelevant piece of semantics.

For example if people are arguing about pineapple on pizza and you say “pineapple is food so it’s ok on pizza” it’s not addressing the actual arguments being made.

Whatever you want to call it, it’s inherently dishonest to take credit for skills you don’t have and achievements you didn’t earn.

Yeah, basically the kid’s going to be on the heavier side.
