They're great actors, so why not?

They're great actors, so why not?

P.S. I know this meme is slightly ironic. Antinous is lambasting Telemachus for wanting Odysseus to come back, even though Odysseus coming back would be what's best. Similarly, those of us who like the actors Nolan repeatedly uses criticize those who want new actors, even though the new actors may be what's best.

In any case, we've got a lot of new actors in important roles (Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Lupita Nyongo, John Leguizamo, Charlize Theron etc) so the concern that Nolan is reusing actors too much isn't entirely valid.

If Sukuna hadn't realized how to beat Mahoraga, how many adaptations would Mahoraga need to beat Sukuna?

During Sukuna and Mahoraga's fight, Sukuna realized that Mahoraga's ability was adaptation and that the only way to kill him was to overwhelm him with the first use of an attack before Mahoraga could adapt to it.

My question is, suppose Sukuna didn't deduce what Mahoraga's ability and the method to beat him were. We also saw that Mahoraga's adaptations led to him getting stronger/bigger/better as the fight went on.

How many more times would Mahoraga have needed to adapt to beat Sukuna? How much longer would the fight have lasted?

Note: I feel like Sukuna would eventually open up his domain and use Fuga to nuke Mahoraga to avoid getting killed, but let's leave that aside for now. I only want to know how much more time+adaptations Mahoraga would need to grow and adapt to beat Sukuna completely by himself.

New holdings in light of worldwide conflicts

I entered these positions believing that these stocks would go up due to the conflict in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine, as well as India's continued infrastructure growth.

I plan to hold them long term. Thoughts?

My take on Geto's domain

We never got to see Suguru Geto’s original Domain Expansion, so this is my take on it — Domain Expansion: Haunted Mansion.

The target is trapped inside a dark haunted mansion filled with Geto’s cursed spirits. The sure-hit effect causes cursed spirits to appear unpredictably from every corner of the mansion, relentlessly haunting, scaring, and attacking the opponent both physically and psychologically. Every room and hallway feels dangerous, making it impossible to know where the next cursed spirit will come from.

I was inspired by the mansion we see at the beginning of Season 2, where Utahime and Mei Mei get stuck. It’s also the first time we see young Geto. I started thinking about how Cursed Spirit Manipulation could be represented through a domain, since Geto has so many cursed spirits and so many different ways to attack his opponent.

That’s when I imagined Geto like a manager of a haunted house attraction, watching the target move through the mansion using “cameras” (the eyes of his cursed spirits, like we see him use to monitor Amanai in Season 2) while releasing different cursed spirits to scare, confuse, and harm them. The cursed spirits would then be Geto's employees (which is what CSM essentially is) and working in the haunted house to hurt the targets.

Hope you guys like this! Let me know what else you think Geto’s domain could have been. (Not talking about Kenjaku right now - I think his domain would be completely different from Geto’s.)

Bought Vergo Transform last year. Regret it.

I bought a Vergo Transform chair last year for around 9k and I regret that decision. It has only increased my back pain despite buying an additional backrest.

Can anyone recommend a good chair? And what's the best place to resell my Vergo Transform chair? For context, I live in Gurgaon. Thanks!

Work product examples for entry-level finance positions

Hi Everyone, I hope you're doing well!

I want to break into entry-level finance positions (IB, Corp Fin, Corp Dev, etc) and needed some advice. I'm based in India and recently completed my undergraduate studies.

I have read online that a good way to secure interviews and improve the requisite knowledge for these roles is by writing cold emails and attaching examples of work product for those positions.

For example, an equity research deck featuring company+industry analyses, valuations etc and spreadsheets with the models is a good "work product" which showcases that you can do the work required in these entry level positions.

Are there any good templates, examples, and tutorials from where I can learn about and produce these types of work product? If you know of any, I'd be grateful if you could share the details. I'd also appreciate any ancillary information associated with getting into these roles.

Thank you so much!

Hi I needed to speak with someone who has cleared L1 using Aswini Bajaj's classes.

I'm facing trouble knowing when to study the Schweser notes, and when to do the questions from Schweser and the institute portal. It's also difficult to keep track of when a chapter gets finished because the order is mixed up.

I'd be grateful if I could speak to someone over dm or a phone call. Please comment if you'd be able to chat, or you can directly dm me.

Thanks!
