Imagine a 20 year old man that just graduated high school a few months ago and is now trying to get a degree in physics but still has to be reminded of basic lessons from 9th grade chemistry yet keeps insisting that he will be awarded a Nobel prize one day, shouting in people's faces about how smart and talented he is.
That is Naruto.

an event relative to a standard measurement of duration.
What standard? You don't seem like you are only 60 months old...

Plus, I do think the show takes place in a time where tech doesn't exist (besides Boruto)
35 episodes in and I have seen miniaturized radios headsets, aluminum cans, pocket watches, construction cranes, indoor plumbing, refrigerators, tv screens, video surveillance cameras, etc. They also demonstrate their understanding of science is about on par with ours a few times so other tech is not unlikely.

The scene with Sakura fucking up that dude literally had my jaw unintentionally drop w/o me noticing for several seconds. Sasuke has some catching up to do lol. I would say my favorite character so far is Kakashi. Don't think I have a least favorite yet but Naruto is definitely trying his best to earn that spot, he is annoying af though I am sure that will change in later episodes as being the title character it is pretty inevitable that his strength will eventually catch up to his ego (though it hasn't quite yet where I am at).
As for the incest thing, like Supa said it is probably just due to the cultural difference between Japan and the west in that regard. The show demonstrates that the people have an understanding of science comparable to our modern day so they could feasibly have devised some solution to that problem.

So I saw you guys arguing about Sasuke vs Sakura, and I just got done with the episode where Sakura substitution magic'ed herself around and then bit the shit out of some nerd from the sound village. I gotta say, until I see Sasuke bite the shit out of someone while a bunch of knives are stuck in him Sakura has a clear edge up in the badass category.

Removing this achievement unfairly discriminates against those who have gotten it (oromagi is not the only one) by removing the reward they got with the achievement, even if it is a tiny reward (gold medal/prestige on the site). On the other hand keeping it discriminates against nobody even if it is impossible to surpass oromagi because not having an achievement does not result in any penalty.

Obscurity: 1/20What exactly do you want me to say here?
Lol no complaints, 1/20 sounds right to me. I just knew as soon as I saw the categories that I had to do a Beach Boys song for dancing and a Savant song for production.

the redhead melty's sister
You mean Whore? Since that is her actual name now.
hehehe, that was a good part. I liked that
But yeah you are right that is the reason they use for justifying Fuckboy and co. suddenly acting less fuckboyish, and it makes sense to an extent especially in Ren's case (being as Ren was the least fuckboyish of them all) but just having the queen come in and clean house the way she did... it felt really deus ex machina and I feel like the writers could have handled it better. There was a lot of potential for those episodes immediately following the Queen and Naofumi meeting. Like, she may have suspected from her spies that he was not necissarily as bad as everyone thought he was but why have trust him so completely so quickly just based on that? The theme of the show up to that point had been that Naofumi had to work harder for everyone's trust.
Then after the trial itself all the people of the land just went along with all the Queens reforms despite the show previously making a huge deal about how the Three Hero's Church being around for so long and having such a grip on the people was a major part of why there were so many problems in the first place. I mean, imagine that the actual devil was summoned to the modern world, the devil that people had been indoctrinated for hundreds of years to hate and fear, then some bitch accuses the devil of raping her but fails a lie detector test. Is that really going to make people suddenly cool with the devil now? Oh, then the president decrees that the devil is now to be worshiped equally with god and Jesus (i.e. the Queens's crackdown on the Three Hero's church and replacing them as the official religion). Really think that would fly in the real world? But in this world it did, just because the writers felt they needed to wrap up that story line and move on.
Like I said still a good show, but it stopped being a great show at that point.

If any covid patient results in reimbursement regardless of cause of death where is the incentive to fib on the death certificate?
Created:

@TheDredPriateRoberts
well if you list covid you'll get more reimbursement, they did have covid after all.
It sounds like you are saying the extra money only comes if the cause of death is listed as covid.

You didn't like Shield Hero?
Not what I said exactly. In fact I would still label it as "worth watching" just not "great". When I first watched it the episodes stopped at the part where the pope first attacked them, they hadn't even had any fight with the pope yet. I had to stop at that point for several months waiting for the rest to come out and at that point it was definitely at the top of my list. Then when the rest of the season came out I watched again from the start and in my opinion it starts to be a lot less good after the pope fight. Not bad necessarily, just less good.
I just kinda felt like the queen coming in and doing away with "Trash" and all the heroes suddenly deciding to start acting cool with our shield bro was too sudden and not all that well executed from a writing point of view.

seriously? you didn't know payment and funding is much higher for covid patients than regular?
covid patients or covid deaths? Because you were talking about causes of death in the post I responded to.

@Swagnarok
I saw Fate Stay Night on your list but not Fate Zero.
I watched both and Fate Zero was an order of magnitude superior. I probably would never have watched FSN to the end if not for FZ being so great (having seen FZ first despite it being a prequel I had a measure of interest in the series that I likely would not have had if I had started with FSN).

I recently recommended "Rising of the Shield Hero" to someone on DART, can't remember who for sure though I think it was RM... but at the time that I made that recommendation I had only gotten to a certain part of the series and when I later realized more episodes had come out I rewatched it and realized it was a great show right up to the point I had happened to reach then it started getting, uh... less good. At least in my opinion.
So whoever I recommended that to if you watched it and thought "wow that was great up to a certain point then suddenly became less good"... yes. Yes I know. I didn't know that at the time and I would have mentioned it if I did.

Here is my story of how I got into Naruto...
I saw a total of a few hours of random parts spread through my childhood over a decade ago then nothing after that.
Then a bunch of nerds started talking about it on DART.
Now I have started watching it, currently at about the 00:00 mark of the first episode and counting.

@n8nrgmi
this is a state issue, which should be the conservative par for course.
Don't be silly, states rights are only ever relevant when the federal government is trying to make states do something you disagree with. If the federal government is making states do something you agree with then states rights are not an issue.
My boy GP will back me up on this. Tell 'im GP.

Vigilante night kills can be referred to as 'cancelations'
Instead of saying 'Y was vigilante killed by X' we would say 'Y was cancelled by X'.

Based on past games supa scum slips most often when he is town so unvote.
Something about speed and oro during that interaction with speed stood out to me, though I can't remember exactly what. I will go back and re read before the DP ends and explain in more detail if I have time.

Really. How does saying multiple decks have anything to relate to the roles that mafia have. There isn’t a coorelation, even with context. This is a huge jump
I already explained this but will answer one time, more for the benefit of the people reading this than for your benefit as I don't wish to fluff the DP with back-and-forth bickering.
Basically the idea is I think that supa had seen the two lists of hand/role combos for each of mafia and town (one in the OP and the other presumably in his PM) then when it came to the post in question his comment about "different roles for different decks" was him using the word 'decks' to refer to the two lists. This conclusion was based on the context of the preceding conversation that led up to said comment.
Not a guarantee but then as they say 'If you want guarantees buy a toaster'. This is the strongest tell I have seen so far but if something better comes up I will switch my vote and possibly kill supa tonight.

A you pro-choice?Good question. You asked for information BEFORE frothing into a libtard lather. The man said, "It's my body and my choice." Seems like PRO choice to me.
I was referring to his stance on abortion. He didn't answer though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is extremely difficult to type on Android on this website, if you backspace the text goes crazy.
I have the same issue. I have noticed it only happens when backspacing in the middle of a word or sentence but does not happen if you highlight what you want deleted first (even if it is just one letter). Still a pain to do that but less of a pain than starting over a two sentence post because it somehow magically became three paragraphs of gibberish and random letters.

You're right about the potential for an RB, I should not have said that. I know I had a specific reason for why I did say it and feel like it was a very good one but can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Apologies if I am not on top of my game as much as usual. Very busy in life and only have time to skim a few pages and read a few pages, some I even have had to skip entirely. I have examined the context of Supa's post 244 however and am confident it is a scum slip. Let's lynch him today please.

Supa multi-decking scumslip confirmed. My guess is he was thinking of the list of possible mafia roles and forgot town could not see those.
Warren bear and RM are my town reads though none of those is set in stone just yet. There is a decent chance I will have the NK tonight so just a heads up if supa is not lynched today I will likely be shanking him unless someone else has a really good hand or convinces me there is a better target.

Idk. Warren and bear seem town. Croc I have not played with before so can't say. For the rest I would have to reread the DP.

VTNL is a valid DP 1 option this game due to the chance of the kill being controlled by a townie.

@oromagi
for now, I'm fine with perusing the reasons why Supa and DD are holding out on character claims.
Because character claims are pointless I did not think anyone would care but if you do I am Johnny Moss.

When a person dies do we get to see what cards (and thus what roles) they had each night?

that's why I was confused about the catastrophic all-betting scenario.
You're the only one who said that would be catastrophic (and I guess it would be for scum). Why would you be confused about a statement that only you were making?
