Also keep in mind, the crusade the demonize trans individuals from conservative media and the rise in trans hate nation wide, it's not hard to think one would feels so hopeless and become deranged enough to carry out a mass shooting. It was inevitable. And in a way, I think right wing media was hoping to incite such a thing so they could prop it up as proof it's not just conservative whackos carrying out mass shootings.
When a radicalized right wing person commits terrorism (which is, again, a normal occurrence here in the US), they will deflect and "denounce" and claim plausible deniability.

But a single act by their political opposite and that condemns the entire group.

It's almost like the right hosts a bunch of gutless bigots eager to point the finger at anyone but themselves.

With hundreds of mass shootings happening yearly in the US, statistically one of them is going to eventually involve a trans person.

But when >90% of domestic terrorism in the past 3 decades has been perpetrated by right wing extremists, they really have no reason to be frothing at the mouth over the one time it's not one of theirs.

Crowder is just happy that his name is trending and it's not about abusing his ex wife.

If you attack something with the explicit intent to cause them harm and they die, that is murder. Manslaughter is when you strike someone unintentionally, or are directly responsible for someone's death without any intent to cause them harm

It was definitely assault. Now doubt there. Manslaughter could even be reasonably argued. Calling it murder is ridiculous and calling it a hate crime is disingenuous. The posters ITT repeatedly calling it those things are bad faith actors.

Did the pro-palestine person hit him because he was Jewish, or because he was pro-Israel? The former is a hate crime, the latter isn't. Calling it a hate crime without any evidence of the former makes you disingenuous.

Did the pro-palestine person intend to kill the Jewish man? There is no evidence of intent to kill, so calling it murder is ridiculous.

Stop being sensationalist over everything involving Israel/Palestine. You're not contributing to the discourse in any meaningful way, and it makes you look foolish.

Gohan's hidden powers was foreshadowed at the very start of the Saiyan Saga. You know he was gonna overcome anything when pushed to the limit and that's essentially how all arcs unfolds.
Did you expect him to beat Nappa?
Did you expect him to beat Vegeta?
Did you expect him to beat Recoome?
Did you expect him to beat Ginyu?
Did you expect him to beat Frieza?
Did you expect him to beat the Androids?
Did you expect him to beat Cell?

Now ask yourself the same questions but with Goku.

You think so? I disagree. Goku is. Always have been. I think people who would think Gohan is the ultimate underdog of the whole series is just a Cell Saga lover.
Starting a fight against the big bad with a disadvantage isn't purely what makes a character the underdog. The underdog is written off from the start. Goku comes in and slaps Nappa after the rest of the gang is on its last leg. Goku comes in and slaps Recoome after the rest of the gang is on its last leg. Goku is always the last hope, the trump card. We always expect him to punch down the grunts, we don't always expect that from Gohan, Krillin, or Tien.

Yes, Vegeta, Ginyu, and Frieza give him the business and he has to tap into new powers to size up to them, but overcoming adversity =/= underdog. The underdog is the person you don't expect to win coming in with a turnaround victory.

I apologize, I thought you were saying the Cell Saga was so good because it was such a good underdog story when literally almost all the other arcs are underdog stories.
I never said the others weren't good or weren't underdog stories. My post said that Gohan was the ultimate underdog across the entire series. The Cell Saga was the culmination of his character arc and was therefore satisfying to watch.

Gohan was the ultimate build up. Time after time we saw glimpses of his latent ability, but he always lacked the training and resolve to use it effectively. He squared up with some of the universe's toughest foes with some wins and some losses.

Western Audiences love a good underdog story. Most of our best selling movies incorporate it. Gohan was the underdog throughout the entire series. He was given more and more agency until, for the latter half of the Cell Saga, he was the definitive main character. The torch was lit and passed on.

That's what made it so good

ZMythos
10/31/23 9:53:52 AM

At least, that's how it seems to me.

The BLM/George Floyd protests were demonstrably and overwhelmingly peaceful. But (right wing) media coverage was laser-focused on protests that turned violent and denounced them all, even when it was proven that most violence was instigated by counter-protests and law enforcement.

Recently I've seen some international protests covered in the same way, especially against pro-Palestine protestors. Perhaps I'm being finagled by the algorithms but a lot of this coverage seems similar to the right-wing coverage of BLM protests. Quick to call it terrorism, violent, etc. Especially in countries with pro-Israel foreign policies like the US/UK.

Here's what I mean. The game itself is good, no doubts there. New art designs, strong sound design, and unique levels are all great. The power ups are intuitive, plentiful, and fun to use. and having multiple objectives to complete in each level gives you a reason to notice all of the details they put in the game. In those respects I really like the game.

But I just don't feel compelled to play more than 3-4 levels in one sitting. I have to take a break from it all and come back to pick it up later. Which is fine, there's no reason not to since the game is simple enough to easily resume where you left off.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about? Maybe you felt this way about another game you enjoyed but couldn't/didn't get lost in for more than an hour or so?

The system by it's very nature was designed to cater for the "Line of Standard Deviation". (Basically, it teaches to the student that fits on the line that counts as 'average' even if their peers fall above or below that line). Theoretically it would ensure that no one student is given an advantage over another regardless of their academic achievements or inclinations. However, what ends up happening, at least where I live, you get kids that are barely able to to identify the numbers put before them put in the same classroom as students that are able to explain the logic behind why a negative multiplied by a negative equals a positive.

"All are equal" is the mantra that seems to run Admin, and it's nonsense. I'm atrocious at Math, but good at other subjects. What it should be is "All have strengths".

In order to avoid the blanket solution, it requires money, resources and time. None of which governments have or are willing to spend. I'm not saying every student needs and IEP (individual education plan), but it would make lives easier if we weren't trying a "one size fits all" strategy.

Just my thoughts as an educator of three? Years
There should definitely be baseline standards among all subjects that every student should meet. That's what Common Core attempted to do but states, school boards, and admins interpreted it as "teach literally this and only this".

Covid fucked everything up since most schools were not prepared for an emergency shutdown. Kids are socially and educationally stunted as a result and instead of doing anything about it, governments and communities just expected us to pick up where we left off. Never mind that some (many) kids are 3-4 years below their grade level now.

Gotta let them all pass through. Don't, say, revise the system to give these kids the years they missed out on back to them. Don't invest in smaller class sizes, higher salaries, stronger curricula, para and special ed support, or programs that make up for the socio-educational deficit.

I'm not disagreeing with you, btw. Just venting.
