Actually, I was curious about this, so did some checking and seems some mammals can smell underwater. Star-nosed moles and water shrews. They accomplish the feat by basically blowing bubbles out their nostrils and sucking it back in right away. It's also now believed baleen whales, which includes humpbacks, may use their sense of smell to help them locate food by detecting the gas dimethyl sulfide that's released by phytoplankton. To do so they have to come to the surface though, unlike the moles and water shrews. Toothed whales, like the orca, it seems however don't have the olfactory organs or brain lobe for smelling, so sad to say after all looks like the theory of them being attracted to the yachts' smell is in fact, pardon the pun, dead in the water.

If that's the case though, then begs the question, why is Goku imagining him in the buff? LOL Yeah, I'm just gonna stick with the ghost idea.

Vegeta's ghost trying to urge him on. Why is he butt naked though? LOL

Jinx!

Bulma's blasting off again!

In and out like a ninja. LOL And it can be used to cover up farts, too. Talk about silent but deadly.

Yeah, pretty sure it's been mentioned before. Although, I think it was also suggested Blackbeard may have found a way to take powers and give them to others who already have them or something.

Corazon really is all heart.

Sounds fairly reasonable. Although, another possible explanation I didn't think about till just now, but maybe it's not that the enemies are so tough so much as maybe Mash is just cranking down his power when directly attacking people so he doesn't go and like accidentally murder someone. Kind of like how Superman has to reign in his power for fear of going too far someday and killing someone.

Yeah, or maybe it's just anime. LOL I mean, he can break through solid walls of thick rock with his fists, if they were being logically consistent he could KO anyone with a single punch. I think it's just they don't want to make it that easy for him to beat everyone, so for whatever reason the more powerful mages seem to have sturdier bodies as well.

Barely even hurt him at all. The heck? Gotta say it makes no sense a society that depends on magic would have so many guys that are able to take even one hit from Mash without being hurt bad.

And he just got creamed again.

A magic reflection mirror? Ha ha. Dot doesn't know still. Boy he's dense.

Awfully nice of the villain to conveniently stop attacking Mash there for a bit so he could monologue. LOL

He got creamed.

Has he got a death wish now. I don't know how else to read this other than him saying it's not illegal anymore for people to take him out. And I don't mean to dinner.

Wait, only a 2.3% chance it'll hit, and even if if does not until 2032? Plus, it's not even a planet killer? Pffft. Great, now I gotta return all the end of the world party supplies I went and rushed out to buy. The way things are going, it's almost certain we'll all have done ourselves in before then anyway.

'Army of Europe' needed to challenge Russia says Zelensky Yep, I was wondering when they were gonna get to this. It's about time someone said this. New arms race here we come. Totally necessary it's sad to say now that the U.S. has switched teams and basically become part of the Legion of Doom now.

I think you mean Tom Homan the border czar that was with him on Faux News. But yeah, he actually said he'd be "up his butt" if he didn't come through for them on helping ICE. It's just insane how they have absolutely no shame or any concern whatsoever that they're completely contradicting and basically incriminating themselves saying something like that when they previously tried to claim this wasn't about the immigration issue but that it's because it was somehow a politically motivated prosecution. LOL They're no longer just saying tbe quiet part out loud, they're on the PA system screaming it at the top of their lungs for goodness sake.

Well that and to continue ramping up and trying to extend the reach of their state media brainwashing machine. That video from that farmer was really impressive. Points out kind of the root of where and how a lot of this all started. That and Citizens United really laid the groundwork for a lot of what we're seeing today. Unfortunately now those roots have grown so deep and twisted themselves through just about every corner of the country, infecting people's minds so deeply, there's no easy way to get rid of the whole tangled mess. At this point just have to hope there comes a point where they've done so many individuals enough harm that enough people snap out of it in time to turn things around somehow. Yeah, they'll try and blame democrats, blame the administrative state (despite the face that they're now in charge of it), hell they'll probably try and blame the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus for being lazy asses and not delivering enough money and presents to people when their policies drive up inflation and send us spiraling into another recession. Hopefully it won't work though and people will be at least smart enough to do what they always do: blame the ones in charge. Let's even say that happens though. Tell me now who really, having seen what we've seen them do in just the past three weeks, believes with any kind of real confidence that they won't try and succeed somehow in finding a way to rig the next election so whatever the public thinks ends up being just totally meaningless from here on out? Cuz it's certainly not me. And therein lies the crux I'm afraid.

I get what you're saying and agree with thinking given the administration's aim to get rid of as many good, law-abiding people as quickly as they can that it'd be better to make that as hard as possible for them. In this case though I think the reason these prosecutors chose to resign rather than wait to be fired, was to make a statement and bring as much attention to this happening as they could. Also, there's the wanting to stand in solidarity with Sassoon part, too, which they're only going to be seen as doing that and sending that message of backing up her decision if they resign along with her. Trump and his stooges have shown pretty clearly they have no concern about going outside the law to fire people without cause, so these prosecutors were probably going to be axed pretty immediately by them anyway.

I remember seeing Billie Eilish on Colbert saying how she thought whales were the scariest animal to her, and I remember thinking like "is she nuts? Whales aren't that scary." Now I'm not so sure, LOL. It's actually physically impossible though for a humpback to totally swallow a human cuz their throats are about the size of a human fist. Only just learned about that upon reading about this story though, and I can't imagine there's many people out there who know that, so easy to see why this guy would think he was about to be the whale's lunch there.

Yep, we're up to a total of six of them resigning now. It's the Saturday Night massacre on a Thursday afternoon. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/top-federal-prosecutor-ny-resigns-told-drop-adams-charges-rcna192030 The day before, Sassoon appealed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and expressed her alarm at being ordered to drop the case, according to a letter obtained by NBC News. Sassoon wrote to Bondi that she had attended a meeting on Jan. 31, 2025, with Bove, Adams’ attorney, Alex Spiro, and members of her office. "Adams’s attorneys repeatedly urged what amounted to a quid pro quo, indicating that Adams would be in a position to assist with Department’s enforcement priorities only if the indictment were dismissed," Sassoon wrote. "Mr. Bove admonished a member of my team who took notes during that meeting and directed the collection of those notes at the meeting’s conclusion." Sassoon also said in the letter that her office was preparing to file additional charges against the mayor “based on evidence that Adams destroyed and instructed others to destroy evidence and provide false information to the FBI.” The best part to me is when Trump was asked about what he knew about the situation earlier in the day, he said he didn't know anything about it but then claimed in like the very next sentence that Sassoon didn't resign but was fired. LMAO

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/top-federal-prosecutor-ny-resigns-told-drop-adams-charges-rcna192030 Sassoon, who took over the office last month, was a well-respected prosecutor with unimpeachable conservative credentials. Best known for successfully prosecuting crypto whiz kid-turned-fraudster Sam Bankman Fried, she was a member of the Federalist Society and had clerked for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who was long the Supreme Court’s most influential conservative. Clearly they seemed to have misjudged this woman's character, cuz they seem to have thought she was just going to go along with this pretty transparent political blackmail plot of theirs. Probably won't stop it from happening sadly, since they'll just get someone else in there eventually who will execute the scheme. Still, at least for a moment highlights just how corrupt what they're trying to do here is if someone with such a deeply conservative background refused to be a part of it.

Gabbard got confirmed as Director of National... well it used to be Intelligence, but I don't know what you would call it now. Incompetence, or maybe idiocy I guess. McConnell was the only republican to vote no along with all the democrats. What kind of shambolic nightmare are we living in? Seriously. Somebody wake me up already.
