November 'round here is usually one of the most exhausting weeks -month, even, to get through. There isn't an official holiday and it's right when all the nights start getting really long. December and January are also a little rough but they at least get a bunch of holiday time.
I might get a little more involved this week in school stuff than usual. Some of the people from my Thursday group are doing a study session for a quiz. If I'm not burned out from life I'll try to go.
>>340620 I always tell myself I'll get more involved but I never do.
Anno
I'm totally half going because I hope to find people I can talk to in person who live around here. Though I'm probably a bit too late to be building social circles like that.
Professors are always giving me shit for not being more closely connected to my colleagues. I always explain that I really don't have opportunities to hang out with them because I don't go out on Fridays and I don't think they really do stuff other than then that I could go to. They're all girls, so they go and do stuff that girls do together. And it's not like I, a guy with a girlfriend, can just go hang out with one or two chicks.
And my professors always just say "Find a way to hang out with them" and offer no suggestions lol
>>340629 I'll pass, but I do appreciate the offer.
>>340635 Networking is easy. I have a great and extensive network. The problem is that there's an expectation that I don't have a network here - instead, I need to be friends with everyone in my cohort. I'm supposed to go hang out with them and go drinking with them and shit like that.
But yeah, I'm always going to be an outsider. I don't really have the capacity to make the connections they want me to make and I don't think I need those connections either. I get along great with everyone, but we don't talk enough to talk about everything. A professor was surprised that I didn't know about those orientation sessions that I missed because supposedly I should have been talking to my colleagues about them? I don't really know why I'd do that. I usually just talk about normal small talk shit like how much I don't want to go to class or about an assignment or something.
There isn't really much emphasis, or reason to really, for people in my night classes to socialize. Everyone in the programs come from all sorts of walks of life, takin g the class at different ages in their life, for different reasons. There's all of maybe two or three others that are taking the classes for the same reason I am, and in all likeliness the only reason I've encountered them is because two of the classes this semester are the mandatory classes for the certificate. There just isn't obligation to form social bonds.
Maria
>>340637 >hey everyone come check out this cool website called doushio.com/moe/
I've never been encouraged to socialise at school. But I'm not a graduate
>>340645 Yeah, nobody gave me shit about not socializing when I was in undergrad.
Now that I'm a grad student, everyone's like, you gotta be friends with everyone. I don't really like it. It feels like we're supposed to base our identities on our relationships with our colleagues. These people are my colleagues, sure, but I don't understand why I have to be close to them like that. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
FormerRei@mobile
They want you to put the social in social sciences or something.
>>340647 I haven't had a physical friend for about 3 years I think I can be "content" with online friends like you say, but I wonder if that's just because I've forgotten what it's like having friends in person And like you say though the best part of online friends is that you can interact as much or as little as you like
Anno
Physical socializing is always in a weird place for me. When I'm not meeting up with anyone I always say I'm content and happy just talking with friends online. And honestly, that's not a lie. But when I get to meet up with people I'm friends with in person, like with the Philly road trip or my time in Japan with a bunch of friends, I realize how much fun that can be as well. And for a while after getting back home after something like that, I'm a little lonely.
I figure after a while I'd probably get too overloaded with the obligation of physical socializing though. Having the ability to control how much I interact with other people is one of the draws of online socializing for me I think.
FormerRei@mobile
>>340647 You should ask on the Academia stack exchange if that's a common thing in graduate school.
>>340650 Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm totally happy just hanging out online and stuff.
But, like, if I'm going to hang out with people in person, I can have a ton of fun as long as its with people I like, like you guys.
But in person, you can't really select a group that you really love. And it'd be overwhelming to be with a group everyday.
>>340652 It's pretty normal for programs like mine.
>>340649 My online friends are my best friends. They're fun online and offline. I think only seeing them sometimes makes those times when I do meet them offline so much more fun and exciting, too.
>>340647 Your professor is wrong, anywya. You don't need to be friends with them, toy you just need to network with them!
FormerRei@mobile
>>340654 >But in person, you can't really select a group that you really love. Just don't invite the people who you don't love to the thing you organize. That's what I did for my birthday. Well "love"
FormerRei@mobile
>>340654 By programs like yours I assume you mean psych grad programs.
Anno
>>340654 Yeah, I'm of the same feeling that the rare occasions I get to see my online friends in real life probably makes it all the more enjoyable.
But then I'm watching shows like ImoSae and I see the lot of them around a table, drinking and shooting the breeze, and I get pretty enviable. I wish I could have friends I could just clown around in a room like that with. A lot of these SoL shows that have started aiming at a college/early adult cast of characters have been getting me pining a fair bit.
>>340656 In person, you're limited to a group that exists only through convenience. It's a little different than the way you can manage friends online.
>>340654 meeting someone offline is like an event But I think people can be different when you go offline
FormerRei@mobile
>>340659 Eh, sort of. But what of the guys who came to my birthday thing lives like an hour and a half away from me. So its really not that convenient to hang out with him. Especially since he basically refuses to come visit us.
>>340658 Yeah, they kind of make me wish I had my buddies around and we could just fuck around all the time.
It's nice to have Fish, of course, but it'd be great to have my favorite friend group around, just hanging out and doing whatever.
>>340660 I dunno, everyone from /moe/ that I've met online has basically been the same person in person.

Oh yeah I don't do like "go to bar" or "go clubbing" type shit. So I don't usually have to deal with people going "hey is it okay if I bring like three other people along"stuff.
I have always liked bars but I don't really like clubs. Clubs are very loud and the drinks cost too much. Dancing is fun every once in awhile, of course, but that's really all you can do at the clubs. Clubs are total meat markets too, and full of undesirables.
FormerRei@mobile
The only "clubs" I go to are concert venues with bars in them. I guess Metro is a club though.
clubs are fun! clubs in austin are a little different though the scene is totally different we have the most bars per capita out of any zipcode in the united states in downtown austin, and they all cater to different crowds there's some really lame clubs yeah but there's some really cool ones too >>340676 see>>340677

>>340712 >bang maintains that normies aren't real >bang maintains that hipsters aren't realy

>>340713 That has nothing to do with being a normie or not.
Anno
Hipsters are pretty whatever. It's not like their tastes actually have any effect on their personalities. Some hipsters are entertaining people with pleasant personalities and others are unbearable snobs. Things people engage in as entertainment don't necessarily reflect in how they act.
>>340717 That's true, but at least they're regular normies. And not hipsters. Hipsters are super normies.
Maria
I'm not like those normies I'm special
Anno
That's not really necessarily true. Hipsters have a really varied personality pool, since someone's tastes in entertainment and culture doesn't necessary strongly influence their personality.
>>340724 Yeah, but they're all bad. A normie is a normie! Being around normies and super normies are functionally the same!

I just think it's a stressed muscle. It hurts when I move it a certain way. It doesn't hurt if I relax my leg and use my arm to move it in that way, though.

The only place I've worked that had a back entrance needed a key. But I think it would still be really easy to just walk out the front door with shit. Half the real employees couldn't give less of a shit about theft and the other half are busy trying to make sure nobody fucking dies. Black Friday is retarded. It shouldn't exist.
>>340893 One of the things about Black Friday is that, because there are so many people during holiday time shopping, places like Walmart and Best Buy hire temporary workers to assist. So even as an unknown face, you could just be another month temp, and you can carry that large TV with your friend outside and help them put it in their trunk. Then you go to the bathroom and discard the vest

The author of Rurouni Kenshin got arrested on account of CP. That's kind of depressing for me.
With everything that's been happening regarding sexual assault allegations, I can't even find myself depressed. Maybe it's because I don't really care for Kenshin as a series but still.
Anno
Well that's kind of how it is for me. As absurd as it is I'm not even particularly depressed for the content. But I really enjoyed the Kenshin manga. When I was first getting into Japanese media it was one of the earliest series I got to read straight from discovery to completion And now it's going to be difficult to rationalize the enjoyment of the series with the creative mind behind it.
>>340929 Puhlease, I can totally take that away from me. And that's what happens whenever a person becomes inable to rationalize a piece of fiction with the person behind it.
>>340931 That's the line behind supporting an artist and enjoying the work. You can go ahead and outright reject reading someone's work because you don't support the person behind it. You can also reevaluate the concepts in a work after understanding more of the artist since their work is often informed by their thoughts. But even though it's up to the reader to decide these things, I find it generally unnecessary to have to "rationalize enjoyment" of something you enjoyed in the case of the artist (but not necessarily the work) being a fucked up individual. That's more the kind of response I expect when the fucked-upness of the artist meets that of their work. There's that whole "separate the artist from the art" idea, that I don't really buy much, that gives artists a benefit of the doubt. The work might be fucked up, but the artist is alright. But then you find the artist is actually fucked up and you re-evaluate the work. Like how people are re-evaluating the work of Louis CK in the face of his allegations and own admission. My knowledge of Kenshin is limited but I don't remember anything that's really in the vein of CP so I'm not about to reeval what I liked about his work. I just simply don't have to support it anymore. So I'd be one of those people who refuse to read a sentence but I don't have to reject what I enjoyed, except in examples like above. It creates no justice.
Anno
Orson Scott Card has some confident stances against homosexuality and has been somewhat unpleasant in stating his feelings on the subject. But that doesn't make it impossible for me to enjoy his writing. But there's also legions of people that will refuse to read a single sentence of his fiction for that matter, or rejected their feelings on his writing after discovering his opinions.
Ultimately it is up to the reader to draw the lines where they can no longer feel comfortable enjoying a piece of fiction because of tastes or beliefs of the author.

Actually twitter should just flat out promise to ban Trump if he doesn't kerp net neutrality. He'd probably cave
It seems like we're talking about net neutrality. One of the issues that is making the net neutrality thing difficult is because like most of the issues you deal with in politics, a bunch of stuff is rolled up under the same banner. The fact that netflix is strangling the internet to death is rolled up with people's basic rights to use the internet. Things would probalby be a lot less bad if those issues were separated out.
FormerRei@mobile
>>341003 I'm going to go throw out a [citation needed] on that "fact" about netflix.
The issue is that ISPs and Netflix are pissed at each other. Netflix consumes a huge amount of bandwidth, and it's a bandwidth footprint that is created by Netflix so it's not something that existed before Netflix got huge. Netflix accounts for a large amount of load on ISPs, particularly Comcast. Regardless of how much Netflix pays for it, the companies are both pissed at each other and are engaging in a bitchfit. Part of that bitchfit is that powerful ISPs are trying to kill net neutrality because a) they want to screw over Netflix and b) they want a cut of the money that Netflix is raking in.
I don't really care about Netflix. Netflix is a powerful company and has enough bargaining power to look out for itself. The problem is that this issue is inexorably a part of the larger net neutrality issue, and there's a real danger of normal consumers getting caught in the fallout and screwed over. That I do care about, particularly because I am one of those people. Inviduals do not have a lot of bargaining power and have a lot to lose.
Which is why I think it's a problem that the two issues haven't been separated out from one another.
Maria
Is this netflix strsngling the internet or people just using the internet they paid for to stream videos
>>341010 That depends on whether you believe the ISPs or Netflix. It's an absolute fact that Netflix consumes an ever-increasing amount of bandwidth though.
Netflix's usage doesn't really affect the ISPs that much. The ISPs can easily handle it and more. Netflix is really only an issue in countries with poor internet infrastructure like Australia or Russia.
I think it's something that should be addressed, but repealing net neutrality is bad for every American except those ISP bigwigs.
Maria
>>341011 I don't think it's Netflixes fault but more that people demand to stream tv and movies
I don't really know who is right. Netflix says they're doing nothing wrong, ISPs say Netflix is ripping them off and making money off them.
I think it's kind of irrelevant who is right anyway. The issue is that two big companies are fighting in a way that could mess things up for a lot of normal people. They should do it in a way that doesn't cause problems for the rest of us.
Anno
i dont care about netflix but i hope everyone else doesnt get screwed
FCC already said net neutrality would get killed and it's going to happen in December. So we're all already caught in the blast, and the fallout is still to come, unless a miracle happens.
Either way, this is all happening because evil corporations are fighting in a way that hurts normal people. I have faith in the internet, though. People can get around anything.
>>341023 haha, no. And I'm not going to. I refuse to spend a moment of my spare time on anything tedious or doing something that seems like a chore to do.
Figuring out how to do that seems like a real pain. I'll consider thinking about it when my fatigue is lower. Right now I don't want to spend a single moment of my free time doing something that seems like a pain.

And some of them have probably come to regret and find remorse on the actions. But what are you supposed to do, go out in front of a camera and tell the world "I did a wrong thing and I am now seeking a way to make amends and become a better person?" What value is there in doing that.

remind me just to never engage in conversation in case someone i'm trying to talk to might already know the answers to the questions i'm asking that should would be fucking embarrassing and a waste of everyone's time i forgot that we're so meta that we only make comments about things only that other people already know about so that we can bitch about why nobody responded to them afterward and then if they don't respond to them complain about how no one responds when we try to talk to people
What's annoying is Goku never gets new attacks, he just gets stronger and faster The guy's been rolling Kamehameha and Spirit Bomb since... the Saiyan Saga
i'm going to take your silence as a "no, i just like when other people feel bad about liking something they like so i want to bitch about it and keep quiet about it so that nobody contests the idea"
>>341381 I ended up taking a short nap. I'll probably go back to sleep soon, though.
just bang
>>341381 i can't just will myself into happiness it works when there isn't a deluge of shit streaming into my life constantly but things are fucked right now
She cut Goku's hair, which honestly counts as a win
Anno
that shit dont grow back mayn i like the direction they're going with it, even though it's even more shoneny now than Z was, it's good that they're at least having interesting things happen in the fights even if it's a lot of "so then, i guess i'll have to use THAT"
TN
that reminded me. does saiyans hair grow back if cut?
>>341467 I'm almost sure this is the first time saiyan hair has been cut, at all
TN
>>341468 yeah as gt is non cannon now ut doesn't grow longer but for example, their hair has grown proportional to their body size so would it regen back to the original shape and size if cut
>>341466 I'm just along for the ride, at this point Kefla being like a slight hue change from going SSJG was fucking amazing
Anno
>>341467 p sure it doesnt there's a scene where goku and vegeta have a beard from the time chamber but that was really just as a gag lasted like five seconds for comedic value
but that makes me wonder about nappa and didn't king vegeta have a beard yeah but the hair they're born with is all they get supposedly i legit would not be surprised if nappa was born with the moustache and raditz fuckin i dont know how he didn't suffocate to death on his hair as an infant
TN
>>341471 yeah but beards are established since king v and nappa
TN
>>341471 but their hair does grow in relation to their body size
I'm pretty sure facial hair does grow back for Saiyans Their head hair doesn't change at all from the day they're born though, seemingly
Actually that's canon
Anno
>>341470 it bothers me a bit that they couldn't even go super saiyan like a week ago and suddenly they're on par with goku's 50-ish years of journey now but at the same time i'm happy the power scaling fucked off >>341477 and they're like the good guys of the universe, helping other planets and stuff but califla i guess was like a rogue or something i dont even remember if they mentioned it
TN
i guess we will know soon or maybe a senzu restores the hair?
>>341475 Aren't Universe 6's Saiyans like, a lot stronger than Universe 7's? And also they don't have tails
TN
>>341475 i have a theory why uni6 are stronger but >phone typing short >salad has stronger gravity >saiyan original kingdom never degraded so they never had space-nomad-barbarian phase >tails don~t grow on saiyans that get strong enough
It is straight up fucking dumb that all it took to match Goku SSJB was uh, learning about SSJ and a pair of fucking potaras, though, I can't disagree there
>>341478 they just never biologically evolved to have a tail
i might say that they're stronger because they've not had the biological thing to turn ape which was the staple of the saiyans in uni7 so the uni6 saiyans just had to get strong normally
>>341483 we don't even know how related the potaras are to their host kai either
TN
>>341481 i think the tail is either evolution or deliberate gene manipularion
>>341480 I guess it can be handwaved as "Potaras and SSJBroly, it's fine"
TN
i overall think saoyans are either bioemgineered warriors by distant past human space empire or just biological descemdanta considering zenkai, ss and such bioengi seems more likely
Really I think it was just Kefla having the control of the badass girl and the SSJBroly of the shy girl SSJBroly is mad strong Too strong
Anno
>>341484 hey that's a pretty interesting take it builds the story a lot better too than "let's just retcon tails and no more monkey business in the show" now it's like they've escaped their oppression by shedding their tails
TN
>>341486 i have a whole theory based on tjis inspired by how dbz earth looks like the continents match predicted drift in some 50 mil years in the future
Anno
>>341485 Kale was the shittiest character i've ever seen i wish she had no spoken lines that would have been better fuck
TN
btw do they have perfected ssb in the anime? or how ssb drains stamina like fuck ie. turning ss for too long or successive times can drastically reduce its power
SSJB has 2 stages in the anime it seems There's a regular one where I guess they're just swapping the hue, and then there's IT IS TIME SSJB, which might drain some stamina
TN
>>341490 read the mamga man it has interesting takes on the new forms
Anno
>>341490 i thought it was SSB gives perfect key control fuck ki control so they're not always maxing out when using it, like goku going SSB in the practice fight for krillen -- why? why would he need that power he doesn't just using the control of it so he doesn't accidentally overpower it when SSJ regular
>>341492 that is my take on the anime form too control has always been issue with ss forms they barely had mastered ss2 by the time of beerus with ss3 still being like the uss forms wastefuö boost of energy with too huge drain
having three months of RECRUITING episodes was annoying but it's paying off now they were working on the tournament episodes with the extra time and resources doing lowscale time-buying episodes >>341498 yeah they wanted to use the extra tima to make good animation for the tournament which they're doing
>>341499 yeah, agreed, but i bet they spend more time on damph goku's two minutes of showtime than the rest of the episode and damn it actually does look good
TN
>>341497 well would ypu rathet have 12 episoses of 5 minutes? gotta filler into some spot
How long have these 48 minutes been, anyway? Goku faffed about with the Saiyans for at least like... 48 minutes
TN
>>341501 well consider last time a real fight secpnd was an air time second was somewhere in db world tournament saga 1
Anno
>>341501 not everything we're seeing is timescale like we're getting different vantage points so we can see other fights going on i don't know about those uni6 namekians though they seem really boring i cant bring myself to care about piccolo and his son fighting them
TN
btw sk did you ever write down what planet we deduced to be namek?
>>341503 That's true, yeah The timer seems dumb anyway Would have been more fun if there were \\\ was a timer that like, reset when someone's eliminated So everyone has to keep eliminating eachother, but fights can last a long time
>>341512 Aren't they just wiping universes cause Zen-Oh's bored?
TN
is zenoh even really aware of stuff with the frandpriesr actually running the show
Anno
the grandpriest is the actual zen-oh he's teaching zenchan to take over and how to be inspired and interested enough to run the show >>341517 there's some speculation on it but he's the father of all the angels there, and also presumably zenchan's father, and he made zenchan because he needs to pass the legacy on to someone else zenchan is really dopey because he's still like an AI that is going through machine learning the tournament of power is to get data and assess the universes so he can take over
TN
>>341516 he seems like a future villain if you ask me
>>341516 i think zen is like buu just an element of creation made flesh prolly made the world out of boredom accidentally or maybe he made the dragon god, who then created the world or such
Anno
>>341519 it's a little schemy, and who knows what's gonna happen lots of things start developing and then they just let it slide away sometimes >>341522 no man potara the two zenchans
grand kai is pretty badass too okay, the boss kais though all suck
TN
but are there more lesser kais then 5 thoufh also why dud 7 have 5 skais in the past and how dud that work with beerus? abd do other universes have more kais or just 1? or is it just the supreme grand kai who is present in the tournament?
i hate to say it but tbh bulma is the kind of character that belongs in a better show
anyway, the destruction energy question, it's not really right to look at it as fixed power or power at all that scales the actual energy is so high, like high-frequency short-wavelength such that it penetrates into whatever and obliterates it it's not like a fist punching something and having more weight or momentum behind it
>uni6 had ruined earth >uni6 nameks different, maybe no great disaster >forst wish of dbs rumored to have been "to become king" >uni6 had no dbs so no king >uni 7 got 1st dog king and peace >uni6 no wprld king so destroyed in wars
Anno
dropped >>341557 it's decrypting the actual existence and obliterating it so that it never existed >>341561 what are we talking about here? i thought you meant beerus' destruction like he used on zamasu
Uh, some guys from another universe came along with some they'd gotten from their god to kill Frieza and Goku And I mean, they failed Frieza realized it was destruction energy, and realized it was an assassination attempt by another universe's gods >>341567 It's like when Goku gave the spirit bomb to Krillin Except with death itself
TN
it was a small amount of it not cinstantly chanheled by a dgod
Anno
>>341565 how a nigga just gonna hand someone destruction energy how was that supposed to work
Anno
>>341565 yeah and how'd that work for krillin when he tried using it
>>341569 it's not like he could form the energy himself into the ball though >>341572 that's fuckin goofy haha but anyway my point there is that they're just a poor medium for utilizing the energy the gods' entire existence is to do that i'm sure it wasnt easy to learn how to use it
>>341573 i understand the context of your question about it being at a fixed power now yeah, it's like they just suck at using it >>341577 sure, and they've probably spent their entirety of existence honing their craft too though and those guys they gave it to just sucked was that the rat god that did that? he sucks too he's fuckin stupid report him and mute and hope he gets banned
It's pretty neat how the vegetable naming convention for Saiyans is in both 6 and 7 One of them doesn't have tails, but they both name their kids after food
Sasuga Saiyans
The Briefs family isn't much better though
Anno
oh shit i wonder if there's a uni6 version of the briefs family
you know, there's something that bothers me regarding consistency, though it's not very important before he recruited frieza, goku was like, "oh no, buu can't make it! who else can we get as a 10th?" the idea is still preserved in goku's mind, so why did he never ask about monaka joining the tournament
The whole of SSJ Orange Kefla fight was amazing The ending was cool as hell, too
I'm still a bit miffed Goku has like 2 moves though
Anno
it was great yeah but i never felt more hyped than seeing hit get that freezing effect and beat the everloving shit out of goku and then whip out the kaioken and have that music pick up >>341594 that exact moment yeah i wanna go back and watch those episodes actually it was a two-parter
>>341611 If he's still floating around somewhere, he should be approaching Zen-oh, really Assuming SSJBroly doesn't have a cap that was just too high to understand at the time
>>341614 Yeah My headcanon is that she's weaker as a result, and would be way stronger if she just let loose But she has to be pissed at someone in specific to get rage mode to turn on
Anno
i think she's probably just stupid and doesn't know what she's talking about and thinks "Oh i can do this and control it ex dee" like she doesnt even fight normally how the fuck would she even be able to gauge whether it's effective or not
>>341617 Well, Caulifla has experience, and when they were Potara'd she still used that state Though, I guess Kale was also in there calling half the shots, so
TN
>>341618 still they mastered ss wayyyyy too fast would make sense if they knew kaioken or somethimg similiar
>>341620 i'm assuming that it's not really that special in the first place people just didn't know they could do it til goku did like, before then, all of the very few saiyans alive just relied on their tails and were mostly murdering entire planets without ever needing much no real drive to beat the odds
SSJ is actually just getting mad Like that's what it is
Saiyans are just unable to get mad enough usually Cause they're like, psychopaths
TN
>>341623 it might be like ki sensing and controlling it isn't hard people just didn't spread the knowledge like in friexa army. ginyu and frieza alone could control their ki proper
Anno
>>341626 and frieza didn't even know how to sense energy as strong as he was
The legendary SSJ was actually just one really fucking miffed dude That's like, probably canon
The saiyans have a legend about a dude who just got REALLY mad one time and destroyed half of civilizations And also one time 5 people got together and made a god
Saiyan culture is WILD, dude
TN
how cool wouöd it be that if broly existed in main can, but died with planet but wpuöd be brought back by some villain
Anno
>>341628 there's probably lots of random other shit saiyan genes can do but how do you even find out and legendary super saiyan is probably just "hey just treat this person like shit and make them real timid and shy and i bet they'll get pissed off and flip shit up one day"
SSJB is actually the only SSJ state without any sort of legend Goku is the first SSJB, it has never been done before Goku
TN
>>341628 which kinda relates whyni think saoyans started as bioweapon super soldiers like ssg to be the empires against beerus if he decided to be dick
>>341630 Oh, I meant "The Legendary SSJ" As in the guy from legend, not Broly Broly is his own thing, as is Kale
The legendary one was probably just SSJ
Cause like, there's no way someone gets to adulthood in Saiyan culture without getting made fun of enough to trigger that shit
TN
>>341633 yeah he was fjirst ss ever and that is that
Anno
>>341633 depends on the state of the culture really they had another civilization to thrash remember not like they were going to saiyan school they were livin in caves and took over the other people they probably focused on their own survival and finding enough fuckin food to eat
sk
That's true, but they're a warrior culture, too
Though Broly was born with an INSANE power level, so I guess without Goku being such a focus he might never have discovered his thing either
Anno
>>341636 to reference this >>341630 it's like, that's a celebrated and wonderful thing in saiyan culture and here that's how you get serial killers on earth haha and man do we hate serial killers saiyans really are psychopaths
>>341579 sorry for telling you to fuck off that was mean i dont mean it very seriously i just say that in a smirky way im from the streets i dont have much filter
