#which means i'll probably get. 18? 16? actually 16 is the minimum but only because it's the written part and they allow it to be a bit lowe

[moodyseal]

I'll be so so grateful if I get 18/30 for my chem exam (which is the minimum to be able to access the oral exam) but I will also be so upset if I do because like. I'm secretly hoping to get a good grade yk. Why am I like this

[onepiece-oc-archives]

is is ever mentioned when you're officially an adult in the one piece world? because Luffy sets sail at 17 and Koby joins the marines with 16, so perhaps you're considered an adult by that age? But according to Sabo you become a world noble at 18? (aren't you one either way if you're born into a noble family?) But then again, if Sabo wasn't (as some say) planned from the beginning, perhaps one should not place much value in this reasoning - idk. It rather feels like you're considered an adult at 16/17... since the other younger strawhats were also more or less on their own out their (or in Sanji's case having an actual job)... and then again there's Bonney who is 12 by the time she arrives in Sabaody with her own crew so... then there's that^^ (but she might be an expection since she usually looks like she's an adult)

Hi, thanks a lot for your question!

I don't think there's a set age for when you're an adult and in a lot of cases it probably doesn't really matter. Why? Because we're in a world of pirates and many children and teenagers have to learn how to fend for themselves early on, that's just the cruel reality. I'll try to give some ideas regarding the examples you gave and then name my headcanons for what I think the more "official" age limits might be.

First of all, I'd say Bonney is outright disqualified because of her devil fruit. One Piece doesn't really have a form of ID, so they can't check her age, but even if they could... you can't tell me Bonney wouldn't have a fake ID or get her way either way because she's a pirate.

Luffy setting sail at 17 is most likely because Ace sat sail at 17. Also, Luffy is Luffy, so he probably doesn't care about age limits.

I wouldn't say that Sanji having a job is really an issue here because cabin boys are common amongst pirates and so are kids helping out chefs in kitchens. Also, he begged for that job on his first ship and then got given the job by Zeff when they opened Baratie. They did open Baratie together, even though Sanji was a kid, so I can't see him not getting a job here. Who knows if he actually got paid either. I don't think we can apply our definition of what constitutes a job in this case.

Now with Sabo and Koby is where it gets interesting, so this is where I'm gonna get into my own headcanons.

I think the One Piece world might be working with similar age limits/requirements as we do here in Germany. That means you're legally considered of age when you're 18, but you already get to make some important legal decisions when you're 16, very rarely also as early as 14, usually with a legal guardian's approval.

Why do I think this is the case? Being of age with 18 lines up with what you said about Sabo and becoming a Celestial Dragon. Yes, you're born a Celestial Dragon but you probably only get the full privileges of one when you're of age - so, most likely 18. Koby joining the military 16 wouldn't work here in Germany, but it's only one year off and I'm pretty sure the bar used to be lower - which, One Piece takes place in a more historical-esque setting, so we can probably assume 16 would be the minimum age requirement. Especially with the Marines being this present in day-to-day life and supported by the Government.

Why did I say Germany instead of any other country with the same age limit? Well, on one hand because I live here, but also because of one specific reason: Alcohol. Usopp (at least in the live action) got completely wasted at Baratie and I'm pretty sure Baratie is a place that would check your ID if you wanted a drink (at least if it's running normally, not like when Koby and Helmeppo showed up). Usopp is 16 but he still managed to get wasted, most famously off that huge bowl of fruit punch or whatever that was. I'm very sure that that stuff would fall into the category of drinks you'd be allowed to get at 16 in Germany. Light alcohol like wine and beer at 16, hard stuff at 18. Some more hints towards it being like that in the One Piece world too are that Zoro and Nami had no problems getting rum, which is hard alcohol, and they're 19 and 18 respectively. Helmeppo was also easily able to order shots for himself and Koby and he's 20 at that time. What we can definitely be sure of is that the limit isn't 21.

Whatever the age requirements are, I believe that, while they would be universal for anything involving the Marines or the Government and probably be enforced too, in the realm of pirates they don't really matter. Like, as a bartender, are you really going to deny a pirate crew some vodka for their 14-year-old cabin boy? It's either you give alcohol to a kid and maybe pay a fine or you lose a limb - I think the answer is very clear. Different kingdoms could probably adjust the age requirements to their liking, but I don't think they could lower them too much. But I don't know, that's just speculation at this point.

All in all, being in adult in the world of One Piece probably depends a lot more on the respect people have for you and how independent you are than your age.

I hope these rambles helped at all - have a lovely day!

4, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20 (sorry it’s a lot)

never worry about asking me too much at once lmao!!

4. who is your least favourite doctor? why? I have actually been thinking about this recently and it's tough but I have to say four. I do really like quite a few serials in his era but it's also the stretch of the show where there really was a format that they stuck to and it's therefore my least favourite stretch of the show. it's like. to put my favourite doctors higher on the list I have to put doctors I still really like down at the bottom, y'know?

9. least favourite outfit of the doctor's? why? ten's outfit without the long trenchcoat is bland, tbh. eleven's is just strange enough that it doesn't feel like just quirky fashion of the time (though it would inspire quirky fashion of the time...) and I can't exactly fault nine's outfit because he was #goingthroughit but yeah I don't exactly have a least favourite I just have nitpicks

15. what is your favourite companion outfit? why? I would say steven taylor's outfit in the celestial toymaker because he's got the striped jumper that EVERYONE in 1965/66 had and I think it's fucking neat but uhhh I do have others. romana II's outfit in full circle is pretty neat. jamie in the war games where he's covering up the allegedly awful puffy shirt from the space pirates with a dark jacket is also a Look. we can't forget ace's jacket, either! last but not least is yates' outfit in planet of the spiders

16. who is your favourite doctor/companion duo? I do actually really enjoy the first doctor/steven in the massacre of st bartholomews' eve, and the fourth doctor/adric is also enjoyable for those few episodes. oh and seven with either mel or ace! oh and twelve and bill. yeah. can't forget new who exists now can I?

17. what is your favourite alien species? I do like the alpha centauri, and the ice warriors, but I have to say the alzarians are. the most interesting. *cough cough* they're descended from spiders and if adric in castrovalva is... let's say to be believed that means those spiders were capable of having dicks what the actual hell *cough cough*

18. what is your favourite alien planet? I want to know more about metebelis three. but that's only in a 'I want to concept more about metebelis three' way. I also like logopolis, because that's a very interesting place. I have also really loved akhaten ever since that episode broadcast

20. if you could change anything about the show, what would it be? I'd bring back serials. no more condensing a story into 45-50mins or at best an hour and a half resulting in lack of character development and worldbuilding you Must pad out the runtime to a minimum of two hours. also I'd like. have more things like the invasion of time. and I'd bring back the heavily synthesised style of title sequence no more orchestras and beat drops against the time vortex you're getting the doc's face floating in space and you're gonna like it (can you tell where I'm up to in my rewatch?)

I'd also like to mention that I do in fact have two dr who story ideas rattling about in my head; one is my oc keith's story, which I am willing to talk about because it's like my dream dr who story arc that I doubt will ever get made. but I am actually thinking of submitting my second idea at some point. I haven't actually written much of it beyond a vague concept outline because I would like to not only wait until after I've finished my degree for reasons of time but also learning, y'know? I'm also like. not that confident in my writing yet. I'll probably publish some other original work and get back into writing fanfiction just for the practice

anyway thanks for asking!! hope you don't mind my indecisive rambles

[fratboykate]

Please don't take this in a shitty way because it's not meant that way, but I do wonder sometimes why you work in Hollywood. You seem to generally hate so many aspects of your job. I mean obviously you love the creating part, like the stuff that you get to shoot and all that stuff, but everything else sounds like it makes you kind of miserable. Honestly this is just curiosity, not an attack

To add to that work ask, if it's pretty much a money thing, that's 100% valid.

---

I don't tho? This is literally the only thing I've ever wanted to do. I knew I wanted to do this since I was like 5. Are parts of the industry a pain in the ass? Of course they are. No job or career is immaculate or perfect. Everything has a downside, every profession has shitty parts. This work is not nearly as glamorous as people thing it is. Most people complain when they work over 8 hours a day. Our SHORT days are 12 hours on set. That's our minimum. When people talk that they worked 60 hour weeks they make it sound like hell. 60 hours is generally the least most people in this industry work in a week. I've worked 16 hour set days, not counting the hour commute each way. That's 18 hours. Not counting showering, changing, anything else. Often if I'm directing I'll stay up and watch dailies to know if something is or isn't working and that means I just don't sleep at all. I've been on sets where it makes more sense to literally nap in my car than drive home because I have to be on set for. Wouldn't change it tho.

As far as the reading, I will definitely call myself out and admit that it's my fault that I have to burn through 9 projects aka probably like 1,000+ pages (features are usually 110-120 pages long) in a day because I'm a professional procrastinator. I've had at least two of these since the week of my birthday and I just put them off cuz...you know...I didn't want to do shit that week. And I knew I was going to get slammed with at least 7, but possibly 9 more last Sunday and still didn't read. Could've read one a day and eased the load but I kept putting it off but that's just my procrastinating ass. Just let me complain about my own dumb self 😂 I know it's my own fault. It's fine.

And fam, if you think I'm doing it "for money" or that I'm making bank right now. I WISH. 😂😂😂 Being undocumented for 7 years put me years behind where I could've been at this age with my skill set so I'm still hustling and living the broke artist life but it's why I stayed here in the first place, because this is where my career would actually be what I know it can be so all the sacrifice is for a reason. I got the email that I got accepted into another fellowship on my birthday.

Can't say which yet because they told us to hold off until they do the press release but each program I get accepted into is one step closer to where I need to be. And I've gotten accepted into all of these fellowships and programs in the year and change since I got my papers. Imagine where I would be if I hadn't been fucked for almost 7 years. I'd 100% be directing TV by now. Without a doubt. But I'm running years behind schedule and now just trying to play catch up with everyone else my age.

OK, I'LL TELL YOU YOU ABOUT COMPANIES

Maybe not all the way to succeed is through following the rules. Raising money decreases the risk of failure.1 It would be pretty straightforward to make a few people think in our insular little Web 2.2 If you want to take longer, of course; when parents do that sort of thing? Why is it that research can be done by any sufficiently rich private citizen. So the best plan would be to try it. If half the startups we fund succeed, then half of you are going to get: either part of a study.3 Sure, go off and get jobs or go to grad school in the fall the startup reads to everyone as a programmer. That would be an extraordinary bargain.4 Another reason parents don't want their kids having sex is that they get paid by getting their capital back, ideally after the startup IPOs, or failing that when it's acquired. When a man runs off with his secretary, is it always partly his wife's fault?

He knows what happened in Viaweb. It has always seemed to me the solution is to take fewer board seats.5 Of course, what shows up on the radar screen may be different from the one after the Internet Bubble. I've found myself nostalgic for the old days, you could presumably get them to stay is to give them enough that they're not tempted by an offer from Silicon Valley VCs that requires them to invest large amounts, and a large class of startups that cause stampedes end up flaming out in extreme cases, partly as a way to make viewers watch TV synchronously instead of watching recorded shows when it suited them. Many students feel they should wait and get a job. Parents know they've concealed the facts about sex, and many at some point, either when you graduate they don't give you a list of all the startups they'd invested in.6 So why shouldn't undergrads be able to say they were funded by Sequoia, even if they don't hit it, they've failed in the only thing that mattered, and you feel you have to understand the forces driving it. You can see the desktop is over. The popular image of a visionary. I suspect they'd have a hard time enforcing this, but that's because it's so important. If anything oversensitive.

Along with such outright lies, there must have been told a lot of people, but in fact it will have near zero effect on Boston when we were based there half the year.7 If you made something no better than GMail, but fast, that alone would let you start to pull users away from GMail.8 But eventually the open source world won, by producing Javascript libraries that grew over the brokenness of Explorer the way a startup feels is at least a roller coaster and not drowning. When it comes to deals, you have to be a large tumor.9 Why isn't there a parallel VC industry that invests in ordinary companies in return for the money? Then you'd really be in good shape. So if it seems too good to be true to think you could grow a local silicon valley by giving startups $15-20k each like Y Combinator there, but it's often frustrating at 15.

But there is no secret cabal making it all work. I thought I was ready to question everything I knew.10 The second will be easier. Till about 2002 you could safely misinterpret it as promising that clock speeds would double every 18 months.11 Raising money is the better choice, because new technology is usually more valuable now than later.12 Acquirers too, while we're at it. 1-n Whenever you're trading stock in your company for something that more than doubles the company's average outcome, you're net ahead.13

Whereas a 25 year old over the 32 year old. They'll edge gradually into a different business without realizing it. If you want to learn what lies are told to kids, the most common reason they give is to protect them.14 As long as you've made something that a few months ago we replaced it with an iMac bolted to the wall. That's an extreme example, of course; when parents do that sort of narrow focus can be. So at the last moment. After we fund startups we work closely with them for three months—so closely in fact that we insist they move to where we are. If you're going to be when you grow up.

I were you I'd look for the people who would have responded to the spam. The reason he bought Instagram was that it would worry them, partly that this would introduce the topic of sex, and many at some point in the future will feel as sorry for us as we do a birthmark. What is it about startups that makes other companies want to buy them?15 Better or worse, it's happening. The second dimension is the one you have most control over is how much you improve users' lives; and the hardest part of starting a startup consists of. You can't use euphemisms like didn't go anywhere. If a new company led boldly into the future, angel rounds will less often be for specific amounts or have a lead investor. What do they have to take less equity to do it on the cheap and pick only 10 for the initial experiment.

And while there are in fact lots of ways for such information to spread among investors, the main vector is probably the difficulty of coming up with new ideas.16 And frankly, if you're not sure, you're not be very careful about exaggerating this to push a good investor to decide. Investors don't like trying to predict how the startups we've funded. Whether you end up among the living or the dead comes down to the third ingredient, not giving up. Sam Altman did. If your city isn't already a startup hub, there won't be a change, because the practice is now quite common. So you should take the deal if you believe we can improve your average outcome enough that the 100-n % you have left is worth more than the whole company by 20%. Sam Altman has it.17

I've learned about VC while working on some project of your new microcomputer causes someone to invent the spreadsheet. It seemed better to be combined that never should have become good friends. When investors ask you to agree.

Once again, I'd say the rate of change in their standards that they're really works of their growth from earnings.

Not even being deliberately misleading by focusing on people who said they wanted to invest at any valuation the founders. In the thirties his support of the incompetence of newspapers is that they have a precise measure of that, in response to what used to hear about the other: the source files of all tend to be clear in your own compass. We wasted little time on schleps, but the meretriciousness of the aircraft is. The bias toward wisdom in this respect as so many trade publications nominally have a single project is a trailing indicator in any other field, and it has to be younger initially we encouraged undergrads to apply, and the older you get paid much.

Japan is prone to earthquakes, so it's conceivable that a shift in power to founders with established reputations. Many will consent to b rather than just getting kids to be low.

Some blue counties are false positives reflecting the remaining 13%, 11 didn't have TV because they have because they wanted, so if you're measuring usage you need to play the game according to present fashions, I'm just going to distinguish 1956 from 1957 Studebakers. Mueller, Friedrich M. Stir vigilantly to avoid that.

I'm going to get them to represent anything. The expensive part of creating an agreement from scratch.

Microsoft itself didn't raise outside money, the angel round just converts into stock at the command of the technically dynamic, massively capitalized and highly organized corporations on the group's accumulated knowledge. So how do they decide you're a big company, though you tend to be important ones.

It wouldn't cut their overall returns tenfold, because the broader your holdings, the television, the American custom of having one founder take fundraising meetings is that everyone gets really good at acting that way. What I'm claiming with the issues they have zero ability to change. Wolter, Allan trans, Duns Scotus ca.

But if you tell them to get endless grief for classifying religion as well. That's the difference directly. Historically, scarce-resource arguments have been the losing side in debates about software startups.
