Why do many folks play follow the leader even into adulthood?
  • I agree with another commenter that this not something that people consciously think about when they do it. I think the main thing you’re touching on is groupthink. This is the reason that groups of people behave differently than you’d expect individual people to.

    Positions of leadership (and therefore power) as an institution are traits passed down to us from Feudalists who organized society in hierarchies. I would say groupthink allows these kinds of social structure to continue long past the point that people realize there a better ways because they assume other members of the group are okay with them.

    That’s all not to mention the fact that some people are genuinely skilled leaders or that people in positions of leadership are going to have a bigger influence in what is accepted in the group.

  • honestly idk why they’d be pissed. part 3 is way too long and the first half is basically just a monster of the week format. it’s one of the weaker parts as far as pacing is concerned.

    the thing with jjba is that each part gets better than the last.

  • valid, but you’re missing out on some of the greatest fantasy worldbuilding of all time. check out the live action or the manga if you aren’t outright opposed to those.

  • Any tipps for soon-to-be DM with very little experience
  • You’ve definitely got more than enough to get started. Only thing I would recommend here is read through the adventure if you haven’t already. Also don’t be scared to improvise if the situation calls for you. You decide the rules you want at the table, not the books. As long as you stay consistent feel free to make any ruling you like if it works for your table.

  • America’s pearl clutching around all sexual topics is so insane to me. 13 year olds are gonna think about their genitals and who they’re attracted to, so why is it that we have to treat the idea of sexuality as taboo? God forbid adolescents don’t feel shame for completely normal feelings

  • PopSci is tricky because on one hand, it’s great that there’s a lot of interest in learning about science and it should be promoted, but on the other, the vast majority of research is so complex that you literally cannot explain it to the layman without making it wrong in some way.

  • One Piece chapter 1089 spoilers

    Summary by Redon. Repost from Reddit (fuck spez)

    Chapter 1,089: "Barricading incident".

    Reader request in the cover: A cow waiter on 2 legs brings Nami a love letter from Sanji (that is hiding outside loft.

    Chapter starts at Foosha Village, Woop Slap is reading about Garp in the newspaper. Woop Slap trusts that Garp would be fine. Makino's son is laughing at Luffy's photo in the newspaper (it's a normal Luffy photo, not Gear 5). Makino talks with her son.

    Makino: "You've grown to like Luffy-onichan, right?"

    Cut to Mt. Corvo, to Dadan Family's base. We see Dadan's reaction to the news at the newspaper, she's asking in tears what Garp and Luffy are up to.

    Suddenly, a huge earthquake starts. It's taking place 6 days after Lulusia Kingdom destruction. There is a huge hole in the middle of the sea, at the place that was once Lulusia Kingdom (just like the hole beneath Enies Lobby).

    We cut then to people all over the world feeling the earthquake. We can see...

    • Momonosuke in "Wanokuni

    • Uholisia in "Kanokuni".

    • Iceberg in "Water Seven".

    • Hina in "Marine HQ".

    • Imu in "Mary Geoise" (he just says "...").

    • Laboon in "Twin Cape".

    • Some prisoners in "Impel Down".

    • Citizens in "Loguetown".

    • Ivankov in "Kamabakka Queendom".

    We can see another random islands too. The sea around the world rises by 1 meter, sinking many islands.

    Then back to Foosha Village, where villagers are looking at rising tides. Woop Slap is looking too worried.

    Cut to Egghead Island, Marine battleships are surrounding the island. Kizaru destroys 1 of the Vegapunk's "Sea Beast Weapon" with a normal beam. But Kizaru has not started the attack yet since he doesn't want to cause too much damage in the island.

    Kizaru calls Sentoumaru and ask him to surrender but Sentoumaru refuses. We see little flashback panel of young Kizaru demonstrating his beam to young Vegapunk and child Sentoumaru (Kizaru is sitting in the ground while he's shooting beams with his finger to the air).

    Sentoumaru continues talking.

    Sentoumaru: "Uncle Punk managed to develop Pacifista's laser by doing research on your power. I can't believe you are the one coming to kill him!!"

    Kizaru: "Unfortunately I can't cover you from the "researching on Void Century" charges, Sentoumaru-kun. At the end, I have to obey orders..."

    We can see that around Egghead Island there are 100 Marine battleships with 9 Vice Admirals and 30,000 Marine soldiers in total (as well as Saint Saturn and Kizaru). Doberman and Doll are part of the Vice Admirals, but there are new characters too (we saw some of them in chapter 1,078).

    Saint Saturn is having a meal inside his room. Vice Admiral Doberman enters and reports the overall situation. We can see a recap of entire Egghead Island and where are all characters (with chibi-characters). Saturn orders Doberman to sink the researchers' ship that escaped the island earlier as well.

    Cut to Egghead Island. York is calling Mary Geoise, complaining why they try to kill her along with other Vegapunk. The Gorousei replies that they saw her as no different from other Vegapunk. However, after Lulusia's incident, they have a new idea and they might keep York to help them with producing more "Mother Flame" weapons.

    It's revealed that York is the one that sent "Mother Flame" to the Gorousei. The power plant for producing them is on Egghead Island too. York made the Gorousei promises not to hurt her or the research laboratory, and to make her a Tenryuubito. The Gorousei agrees (we see that Saturn and Kizaru are listening the conversation too).

    However, in the final double spread of the chapter, we can see that York is making the call in tears with Zoro's sword at her neck. Usopp is the one setting up the Den Den Mushi. York ends the conversation screaming for help.

    York: "Save me from Luffy!!!"

    The Gorousei, Saturn and Kizaru are shocked, since until then they are under the impression that York managed to defeat everyone using the Seraphim before calling them to Mary Geoise.

    We can see that the rest of Straw Hat crew, Bonney, Lucci, and real Vegapunk (that already packed his bag) are eating and chilling behind York, Zoro, and Usopp.

    Nami: "I get the entire situation now."

    Vegpaunk: "So that's how it is..."

    Bonney: "This is really a barricading incident!!"

    Luffy: "I don't really get it but we just have to use her as a shield to escape, right!?"

    End of chapter.
