@RazorFist grrm is ultimately the biggest peddler of Mystery Box in book form.
He can't finish his work because he painted himself into a corner that really cannot have a proper resolution with the payoffs he wants so he just stopped.
Tolkien knew how to finish a damn book series!
@kitekirax@kierkegaardpwns@___TheGOOdWitch I don't see how it's a contradiction that Luffy himself doesn't want to be king.
Restoring Alabasta or Wano by defeating subversive tyrants who were making the lives of the average person less free and painful doesn't mean Luffy wants to impose on others freedom as a king.
@RighteousDC@schwartzfuhrer@JeremyB15688425@realMaalouf Yup, this is also why the tribes in sub-saharan Africa did not even have a concept of the wheel, because you don't need to figure out how to haul things if food and raw materials are abundant and readily available.
@DefinitionsNew@joseph_g20407@NACHOS2D_ Literally compare this to the CG mess of Black Panther fight scene in the train tunnel. This is demonstrably better and it's done by AI that costs pennies on the dollar compared to the millions of dollars and hundreds of hours spent on CG animation studios used for that movie.
@kierkegaardpwns@___TheGOOdWitch No such thing as objective morality. Morality itself is a social construct, which is why we don't apply it to animals even when they do terrible things. Even if you believe in god, morality is still subjective to his whim. Just look at the moral shift from old testament to new.
@kitekirax@kierkegaardpwns@___TheGOOdWitch Luffy doesn't want to actually rule anyone, though. That's why he got upset when the other pirate crews swore loyalty to him and became his subordinates without his permission. He just wants to be king because it sounds cool and represents ultimate freedom for him.
@Maestro55941920@chaotichermes@insanevideos He also apparently had a large unsheathed serrated knife on the floor at his feet and he kept putting his hands down into his lap inches away from it.
@Maestro55941920@chaotichermes@insanevideos other way round bro. The guy was driving in the dark without headlights putting people at risk. He then refused to be pulled over, refused to get out of his car, resisted arrest and forced the cops to break his window and forcibly remove him.
@AVGirl4Life If I had to eat one...probably 2 I guess...1 is too sickly and anything over 3 looks like it would be too dry and tough after cooking.
Wait, what was the question?
@DavidMKeyes We don't have the actual details...just leaks of "deals" that came from Iran which are propaganda designed to save face.
Until it officially drops on Friday, I'm withholding judgment and you should too.
@Gosleepriya This is an English problem more than a math one.
It's effectively unsolvable since we don't know what half is in reference to (x) or the precise intended operations. There are 4 possible formulations:
x = [ 1 | 500 ]
f(x) = [ ( 500 / (x/2) + 50 ) | ( 500 / ( x/2 + 50 ) ) ]
