I just don't think the life experience I need is in a book

It's, well in life

Unfortunately, despite having read a lot of material in the past to try and help myself, it never truly sank in and did

But having those experiences first hand and learning empathy through others did

[long peak]

I'm being facetious

[fair wedge]

Fancy word

Also what did I miss

[dusty fable]

Well, that's often the point. You get theory, then apply it. A good book provides you a better lookout. But I don't insist

[fair wedge]

Wheeze

Damn this chat is a circus

[dusty fable]

So any commentary? I am in a mood to argue a bit

[fair wedge]

Ur a clown tldr

[dusty fable]

Eh, nothing new

[fair wedge]

So are a few other ppl in this discussion

[dusty fable]

Kvit already said that

[next crescent]

Until you forget you ever even read the book because it barely had an impact on you other than a quick "oh, that's interesting" and when the time comes it doesn't spring up into your mind because you have a thousand other things flashing back and forth instead from your personal, real life experiences with similar things

[fair wedge]

I would say takes one to know one but that would incriminate myself, then again we're all clowns in one way or another. Just some more than others

[dusty fable]

You forget, but you don't forget everything. If you read multiple books some facts repeat and that's how we get things into longterm memory, by getting stuff repeated at an interval

[fair wedge]

I think it's put in long term memory based on impact

Which ig repetition could be

Also why did this whole debacle happen in anime channel

[next crescent]

Ye lol

[dusty fable]

Correct. Different reinforcement works towards remembering things longterm

[next crescent]

Or just having it happen and getting the experiences for yourself, I am a kinesthetic learner- I suck at absorbing information through written forms

Most information goes over my head if it's only written

[fair wedge]

Get the nurolink and just download Wikipedia

[next crescent]

Which is why I keep saying, experiences will help better than reading a book lmao

[fair wedge]

[next crescent]

Because caveman said "this must've been a nightmare to draw" and sent a screenshot of a manhwa panel with really well drawn hands

If you want to know the true start to all of this lol

[fair wedge]

@tidal shore

[dusty fable]

Well, I need to finally learn that unsolicited advice is as bad as wrong advise and stop doing that. You didn't need my advice, so I will fuck off

[next crescent]

It's alright to give advice, it was just that I had said a few times that reading a book wouldn't help me and you kept insisting lol

[dusty fable]

Well, yeah, my bad. I tend to be a bit too eager about books

[fair wedge]

Lmao

[next crescent]

I've noticed lol

[dusty fable]

Then, if you noticed, pwease forgib me UwU, since you have a prior knowledge of my shortcomings

[next crescent]

Ew not after the uwu pwease

Nihil come back

Save me

[dusty fable]

What about OwO T-T

[next crescent]

[outer scaffold]

I'm back to this place with a recommendationnnnnnmn

https://mangadex.org/chapter/ea414c37-4504-4388-b888-9aaa4d475c7c

[outer scaffold]

Read this manga without seeing its synopsis and let it take you for a ride...

[dusty fable]

What's the genre

[outer scaffold]

Psychological, i won't tell other genre

[topaz linden]

I only see two chapters. Either its a oneshot or it just started lol

[outer scaffold]

Yeah, it just started

[topaz linden]

I'll pass for now then lol

Nothing I hate more than a great hook then being told to wait several months for there to be enough out for it to go anywhere with it

[ionic schooner]

JakeFromStateFarm

Have u been reading spy x family

I left off on a chapter an I wanna come back to it

[topaz linden]

Nope

Waiting til its done

[ionic schooner]

Your patience is wild

[dusty fable]

Okay, you got me interested. Though she reminds me of a heroine from Mirai Nikki with her posture. Hopefully, I am wrong xD

[outer scaffold]

Oh ho, how could you never be more far wrong than you are rn.

[topaz linden]

I mean, I just read completed series. Cant be impatient about something I dont start

[ionic schooner]

Trye

True

[topaz linden]

I read 3-5ish chapters, decide if it seems decent, then slap it in my "Incomplete, Check Later" tab of Tachiyomi. Refresh that every now and then, and whenever I see a [End] chapter pop up, I move it over to "completed" to read

[dusty fable]

We will see. But I also had a feeling it might be something akin Kuzu no Honkai, because the cover looks like some romantic manga, and you said psychological genre

[dusty fable]

|| The teacher looks like he was made to be manipulated into self unalive || I wonder if that's gonna happen by the end of the first chapter

[dusty fable]

I might not be too wrong. || It seems the girl manipulates people into letting her do what she does, by which she satisfies her own perverse desire||

[outer scaffold]

||You could be wrong, i would say, the girl doesn't have any manipulation ability and that the teacher has a "really short term memory problem"||

[dusty fable]

I mean... || She excels at manipulation. During basketball, she intentionally fell to hit her nose, so that it would bleed and that would provoke the other girl to try to hit her with an elbow in the vulnerability heroine created - the bleeding nose, which she expected because she planned something like that, which gave her an opportunity to scare that girl shitless, likely also with some purpose in mind||

But it does continue rather unexpectedly for a reader. Could be interesting to follow

||And it gives me Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment vibes a bit. There is some semblance between Male MCs of the manga and the book|| I wonder if the author was inspired by the book

[shadow knot]

holy mid x family

[ionic schooner]

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT CHAPTER I LEFT OFF ON

[shadow knot]

when will you have good taste in anime

[ionic schooner]

ITS THE ONE WHERE ||THE WHITE HAIR LADY HAS ALL HER BONES BROKEN AND SHES IN A HOSPITAL||

[shadow knot]

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-luigi-luigi-reading-gif-22148197

[shadow knot]

my reaction to seasonals

[ionic schooner]

oh wtf

THATS WHY I QUIT

I REMEMBER NOW

ITS CAUSE THE TIME BETWEEN EACH CHAPTER WAS SO LONG

😭

[tidal shore]

whar

[high storm]

Wei war in Kingdom was pretty damn epic

Done with 75th chapter due to just being stuck on train having fuck all to do

Liking the characters so far, don't find anybody annoying or unnecessary

[tidal shore]

huh

i guess shounen enjoyers have a stronger constitution

from there on it only gets better
also, the manga made me hate war even more which is kinda funny

[high storm]

I like Ouki the most so far, looking forward to whatever shit he does

[tidal shore]

interesting

[high storm]

I just like a mf who can do his thing without being stopped

He just be chilling scheming whatever

Also having a pocket yes-man is kinda funny

[tidal shore]

true

I honestly couldn't read him until the first or second major arc finished

[high storm]

He is literally just standing on business, also Shin called him "A huge queer" which I find very funny

And funny lips, + cool weapon

[tidal shore]

wtf I don't remember that

[high storm]

Just very well rounded mf

[high storm]

During their first meeting

I am most certain that translation I am reading is 15-20 years old

[tidal shore]

honestly he's right

Ouki is so out there, like most of the generals you'll see in the story

[high storm]

I mean I just kinda fw him tbh

Unbothered king

[tidal shore]

also I think you will love Kanki, but he appears like 300 chaps in or something

[high storm]

Also I am very looking forward to what ||Heki|| will be

I have high hopes

[tidal shore]

oh that guy

I honestly see him more as a gag character

because of how incompetent he is

[high storm]

I wanna see him grow even a lil bit

Surely

[tidal shore]

yea same

[high storm]

(Clueless)

[tidal shore]

that's like the biggest pull to this character

[high storm]

Lol

[tidal shore]

everyone cheering him on

[high storm]

Oh also ||Ten (the chicken costume kid) was so obviously a girl, knew it from first few times she appeared, HUGE Dororo vibes gave her away||

[tidal shore]

Ikr, and get this, ||Shin doesn't realise until someone tells him about it, and that is even after she grows badoonkers||

oh yea btw this is a historical manga, so if you know Chinese history you will be familiar with the major events

[high storm]

Lol

[high storm]

Yeah the moment I heard "Qin" and "Unite China" I figured

Also manga starts with stating of historical records about time

Although I thought it was maybe just "what if" during said period

[tidal shore]

it's more of a colorised interpretation of that period in history

putting supernatural powers aside

well, Idc anyway cuz Idk any of that

I'm only familiar with the Three Kingdoms period which is like 13 centuries later

thanks to a Total War game

[high storm]

I mean, I would expect there were no 5 meter tall furless man eating gorillaz

[tidal shore]

TRUE

[high storm]

Also mountain people are pretty cool, hope to see more of them later

I approve of cannibalism, I am huge fan of Rimworld after all

[tidal shore]

XD

oh yea, if you get far enough there will be a moment where

I'm curious what u think about it

[high storm]

I would not spoil myself to what happens later

[tidal shore]

they'll be talking about the law

is how you'll recognise it

[high storm]

There are several hundreds of chapters, they won't go anywhere while I am not reading

[tidal shore]

yea

[high storm]

Ok?

[tidal shore]

well I don't wanna spoil

[craggy mango]

I understand they want to milking it, but Hidden Inventory arc??
https://fxtwitter.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1827668554197467337?t=vngMR3uVHNxSD2phKK0Nlw&s=19

[high storm]

Hidden inventory is the best arc in terms of actual story (imo)

But yeah "compilation movie" is lamest shit ever, clearly a cash grab

[craggy mango]

Shibuya arc had a lot of unfinished animation, i thought they would fix it

[high storm]

Common consumer probably would not even notice such mistakes, besides didn't we have blu-ray release which did fix some?

[craggy mango]

They didnt

It was very chaotic back when it was airing

[high storm]

They did A LOT of anime only stuff so as manga reader I was happy as shit I still don't see the problem with supposedly unfinished animations

It looks dope as shit and that's enough for me at least

[next crescent]

The animations were unfinished but they tried their best to make it still look good and honestly, in my opinion, it does

Some of it actually felt artsy because of it and gave an interesting feel you wouldn't normally see in other action anime

Almost like opm's first season

[high storm]

I think animation was phenomenal personally

And if "That's not even my final form!" For animators I am incredibly impressed

[next crescent]

Especially with how it seemed like they were all treated in general

Picking up the slack for your colleagues who just couldn't take it anymore

[high storm]

Basically

[tidal shore]

thx tl/n

[rancid ledge]

sup anime channel, how yall doin?

[next crescent]

i am alive

whether that's good or not is up to your interpretation

[rancid ledge]

its good lol

[next crescent]

cool

[tidal shore]

reading GED atm

It is cute

Miku truly transcends everyone and everywhere

She's like the one universal constant

[high storm]

@tidal shore Ouki is such a cool motherfucker damn

[tidal shore]

wtf chapter 115

fast

[high storm]

I am stuck in my village helping my granny for few days, not enough internet for high quality videos so I read instead

[tidal shore]

fair

[tidal shore]

infinite leveling: murim
it's a battle manhwa, and honestly I enjoy the creativity in some of the fights so far

[dim pier]

i see, thanks!

[high storm]

@tidal shore Shin is absolutely just unbothered king

Bro would see your whole family die mid-battle and say "Cry about it later"

[tidal shore]

oh it's Shousa

he's my favorite side character in this manga

you will see why later

[high storm]

He looks like a stoner

I like him so far

Those types of folks are rarely negative

[tidal shore]

yea

[tidal shore]

yeah some of Shin's dialogue really be like

you know how he ||supports Sei's goal of unifying China through war?||
||the way he rationalises this is also kinda fucked up like "don't kill civilians, only combatants" but then I'm like, civilians get drafted a shit ton into war, ur likely killing people who were peasants a few months ago, Imo he's so hooked on war that he doesn't see better options out there (like diplomacy, or that the ruling class decides this, and scheming would probably avoid a lot of casualties etc||

yap yap

well it's a battle manga so I may as well yap

[high storm]

What a boring pacifist take on 200 years before bce society

You got exactly what you expected, a story about warring states doing what they are supposed to, war

[tidal shore]

yeah no shit

the average person who's a cog in a machine wouldn't even be aware of this

back then

[high storm]

When you pick up a weapon and try to take my shit you deserve death no strings attached

Invading do be just the generals' whim tho lol

[tidal shore]

what is this american mindset

ptfu

disgusting

ah, then it would be self defense

[high storm]

How is that any bad? I value my things more than a robber's life

[tidal shore]

i got confused with other american mindset where "if ur on my property I'll shoot"

/s

[high storm]

I am more about being "left the fuck alone in peace" not much about "Let's go over there and kill this guy you have no idea of"

[tidal shore]

fair

[high storm]

Unless I benefit from it like a shit ton ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

[tidal shore]

if that's the case maybe u'd make for a decent roommate, as long as you don't yap by yourself

[high storm]

Or sentimental value

I, for one, want to kill a one particular person for 6 years now

[high storm]

My roommates always told I am alright, I always clean up my plates, tidy up my part of room and give money for improvements if necessary

Also I don't talk a lot most of the time unless I saw something REALLY funny or spoken to

I just have a telegram channel of 5 of my closest friends were I yap into a virtual wall which they sometimes check out to check how I do

I have comments disabled but whenever I bring up smth "I sent it in my channel" they seem to always know what I mean which is reassuring

[high storm]

Saw this fucking critter the other day and just HAD to tell my roommate come look at my screen 😂

[tidal shore]

what is this

[high storm]

Age of Wonders 4 random event

Look how STUPID this thing looks 😂

[tidal shore]

yea it's a bit derpy

[dusty fable]

doesn't really sound healthy, considering that's almost third of your life

[high storm]

She almost murdered my mother in broad daylight and went unpunished, that person genuinely deserves hell

[dim pier]

any suggestions of anime

im watching overlord but i got bored, im ep 4

[topaz linden]

Any preferences for the type of shows? Worldbuilding heavy? High intensity action? Etc. Etc.

There's a pretty large variety out there. Knowing what you like would help a lot

[high storm]

Watch Gurren Lagann

[dim pier]

No idm how bloody it is

[dim pier]

I want something that gets interesting right away

If u have

[high storm]

Gurren Lagann

[dim pier]

Aight ill check it

Thanks!

🫡

[high storm]

My pleasure

[dusty fable]

1. Dr. Stone 2) Death Note 3) Re: Zero 4) Attack on Titan

[rancid ledge]

dr stone and death note, damn

[high storm]

Why not? Dr. Stone is very good if you don't know the stereotypes they used

[rancid ledge]

I dropped it sadly T^T

[high storm]

And death note has been maybe the most recommended first anime to watch ever

[rancid ledge]

I could feel One Punch Man and Baki luring me in

[rancid ledge]

oh its very good

[high storm]

It's not for everyone but after reading the manga it's 8 at most

[high storm]

Baki is fucking gass

Best comedy on earth

[rancid ledge]

not the gas comment

[high storm]

Baki is the greatest martial bullshittery there is

[rancid ledge]

I should also watch mashle too

[dusty fable]

To specify, I recommended these shows specifically because how fast they become interesting, not really about how good they really are. Though they are good

[long peak]

Link Click, Mashle, One punch man, fire force, Trigun stampede, oshi no ko, summertime rendering, dungeon meshi

[long peak]

Mashle is peak stupid, I love it

[dim pier]

watched all except for rezero, watched s1, overhyped ngl

[rancid ledge]

IS THERE A ANIME THATS NOT STUPID 😭😭

jk jk

[dim pier]

jojo

[rancid ledge]

damn oshi ko no

[long peak]

It gets interesting pretty fast

[dim pier]

yes oshi no ko

the main story is great

[long peak]

I will highly highly recommend link click though

[dim pier]

however the mc spending time with girls and going to be an actor and etc, that's boring for me

[long peak]

Jake will hit you with more under the radar stuff probably

[dim pier]

first time i hear of this anime

[long peak]

Essentially the premise is that two guys that own a photo store can travel back in time to when a photo was taken

[topaz linden]

Nah, was just gonna shill Vivy for the 5000th time

[long peak]

And they solve mysteries

[dim pier]

damn

[long peak]

I still gotta watch vivy

[dim pier]

the story's pretty interesting

[topaz linden]

Ya really do

[long peak]

It's my favorite show of all time

[topaz linden]

[long peak]

It gets serious/interesting right away

[rancid ledge]

I should continue link click

the story is fucking interesting, love the animation

[long peak]

Yes you should

Cheng xiaoshi my husband is in it

https://tenor.com/view/cheng-xiaoshi-link-click-shi-guang-dai-li-rien-time-argent-xiaoshi-gif-4843761378858163173

I love my little goofy guy

[rancid ledge]

NOT THE HUSBAND

but youre so real

alejandro voices this dude

[long peak]

Oh I've never watched the dub

But now he voices two of my husbands wtf

[high storm]

Lmao

[next crescent]

Is that real

[craggy mango]

Rip 😔

Anyway, Nyaa si still alive so we're good

[next crescent]

They gave 3 hour notice to save bookmarks 😭

And what's nyaa

Nevermind they still exist

They rebranded back to 9anime

And aniwave is shut down

For now

[high storm]

That's what I saw when I clicked on my old bookmark but the link at the bottom seemingly works just fine

For now

[high storm]

Also yeah wth is nyaa

[craggy mango]

Nyaa si is like pirate bay for anime

[next crescent]

I assumed it was a site like 9anime

I meant

What is it

Nyaa.to?

Nyaa.tv.to

Or?

[craggy mango]

Its nyaa.si

[next crescent]

Ah

I thought you kept misspelling "is" 😭

Sorry

[craggy mango]

Its fine

[dusty fable]

Well, I have some more stuff. 1) Higurashi (older series) 2) ID:Invaded 3) Summertime rendering

[craggy mango]

Anitaku.pe still available too

Its new site of gogoanime

[high storm]

ID:Invaded recommend is craaazy

[shadow knot]

its psycho pass if it only had one season (good)

[high storm]

Nah Psycho pass imo is MUCH better, just don't watch like past season 2...

What other "It's good (Trust me bro) but it's just one season of thriller action" shows we have? Pet? Babylon? 91 days?

91 days imo being on par with Psycho pass, imo like a 9/10 great show

[dim pier]

I see

I’ll check them also

Thanks

[high storm]

I mean it's just a good show not a crazy amazing one, maybe try Mob Psycho 100 or something that shit a masterpiece

[dim pier]

Done

Mob

I’ll check gurren lagan

[high storm]

Good idea

@tidal shore Houken is one scary-ass motherfucker damn

[tidal shore]

you will like it cuz there's so much more to come regarding him

[high storm]

Wtg

Can't post a page 😭

[high storm]

Looking forward to this fight fr

[high storm]

155 chapters in and twists just keep happening damn this shit fun

[tidal shore]

ooo Riboku

I also like him

[high storm]

He is HIM all caps it seems

Zhao top generals have a very strong aura surrounding them, liking all of them in one way or another so far

I have to say that I am big fan that this manga (so far at least) is composed of both big battles and little duels AND STILL gives some breathing room between all the action to get attached to said characters, I now see why this manga is so hyped up, not many other animanga pieces are as successful in that aspect as Kingdom

[dusty fable]

Yakusoku no Neverland is basically the god of watch only 1st season

[high storm]

Oh god don't remind me 😭

That show went to shit so quick I thought I skipped a season

[dusty fable]

I don't feel like suggesting Psychopass because not many people can appreciate it from my experience. Personally my top1 detective anime and top5 overall

[high storm]

┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌ it just feels you are the biggest fan of ID:invaded there is

[dusty fable]

I do appreciate underappreciated anime more. It's idea is more interesting than Psychopass, but it ran out of steam towards the end, so didn't perform that well overall

[high storm]

I think it's just the ideas in it resonating more in you while psychopass resonates with different people

[dusty fable]

Id invaded doesn't resonate with me much, but what I like is its novel ideas that I haven't seen before, compared to many other cyberpunk movies and books. Tbh, Psychopass reuses a lot of template drivel of cyberpunk genre, which is fine but not really mindblowing. Its overall production quality and narration is magnitudes better ofc

[dusty fable]

Ngl, I expect Heavenly Delusion to join the ranks of "godly 1st season, flop in 2nd season". Just the way it ended ||with everyone escaping the facility|| just never works out in my experience. Maze runner, Neverland, Prison Break, Lost, Matrix to some extent all flopped because of it.

Also MHA to some extent. Shows just don't do well, when the action theater expands from the initial enclosed area

[high storm]

Heavenly Delusion is incredibly interesting show with great animation, characterization and story telling so I expect a lot more of that ngl

[dusty fable]

Well, if it works out for Heavenly Delusion, it would be one of the few outliers in my experience who managed to expand the theater without losing out on narrative. Not unheard of. Some of the stories I know did that well, but there are rather few of them

And, the reason the stories I know did that well, because they killed all the characters except the main cast, so the story didn't spread thin. Could happen in Heavenly Delusion as well

Also, Harry Potter is an interesting example. It suffered a lot from moving away from Hogwarts to a bigger arena in the last book, but still did pretty well. I guess because it was still laser focused on just a few characters

[dusty fable]

Just like Pirate Bay, Nyaa died once for our sins but then was brought back by generous samaritans

Tokyo Toshokan and Nyaa are two pillars of anime scene

[craggy mango]

Its very surprising they dont make mecha version of Bocchi
https://fxtwitter.com/HobbySite/status/1828374726915563903?t=9jdx_HZO8zYUXxdmHHK_2g&s=19

Fyi, 30 Mins is famous for producing gunpla

[tidal shore]

i should watch psycho pass

[shadow knot]

its def better if we talk only one season, but id invaded has some really cool ideas and work around with the characters and plots and I vouch for it to be a good show to consider watching if you're in a mystery rut

babylon had so much potential I still think its not an outright bad show it just could've been a lot better

[high storm]

If you are big detective fan yeah it can be pretty entertaining

[high storm]

During airing the release order was a disaster too

Killed any hype

[shadow knot]

ah you remember too

[high storm]

They took like month+ break between episodes don't remember why

[shadow knot]

after that one big episode it took a hiatus

[high storm]

I just remember being really bummed out

Cus I was really looking forward to continuation after a big moment

Also because I don't remember any other anime having sudden hiatus like that just mid season

[shadow knot]

it had all the right things going for it but last stretch was definitely a rush

86 had its hiatus but the wait was worth it for anime fans

[high storm]

The only anime I would strongly recommend wearing headphones for though ahahhaha

[shadow knot]

https://youtu.be/jo6uGIGwrOw?si=e2B-APKou-HNW2aU

[high storm]

ASMR Queen

Also wtf this video has shitload of views

[shadow knot]

makima if she was good

[high storm]

[long peak]

Woooooah

Hey

Kvitsev

[high storm]

What? Like a big fan of detectives

[long peak]

Was it a mistype

Cause uh

The last part of that word is a slur

I'll give you a chance to change it

[high storm]

I can't believe this has half a million views, I bet most of these people haven't watched the anime lol

[shadow knot]

I'll vouch a chance too I actually could've snitched

[topaz linden]

It is too. Both of them have a very offensive/derogatory slur in them

Unless you're British and just using it to refer to cigarettes, would very highly recommend against using it lol

[shadow knot]

don't forget this one too

[high storm]

It's just a term you use for new members of community of fans? I've seen it everywhere dunno why you suddenly think I am homophobic I am literally gay

[long peak]

We aren't saying that

[topaz linden]

We arent saying you are. The word very much is tho

[long peak]

It's just that it contains a slur that is very much against the guidelines of the server

So the 3 of us are giving you a chance to not use it in here

[high storm]

Honestly? I will take the ban idgaf anymore

I've been here too long anyways

Almost thought of some people as more than pfps

[shadow knot]

up to you

[topaz linden]

The use in anime talk for it comes from 4chan, which should be the first clue it's not going to be appropriate in actual conversations lol

[high storm]

Fine fine y'all

[high storm]

Didn't know this tbh

It's just been appropriated by post-soviet countries ages ago

At least people currently in here are pretty chill, Teruko and Lime are a laughing stock and Caveman should fucking pick himself up from the ground, can't be bothered to remember more of any y'all weebs

I will quit myself before I get notified by that restarted hu tao bot for 100th time

[shadow knot]

lmfao

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

so what are you guys watching nowadays

or reading
I'm still on the burnout arc but I managed 10 episodes of rewatching diamond is unbreakable recently

[topaz linden]

Honestly been busy with a new job, so I've mostly just been making a bit of progress here and there on some longer series I still need to complete 👀

[shadow knot]

thats awesome dude

[topaz linden]

Few episodes of Log Horizon, a bit of Monogatari, etc.

Still ages away from finishing tho lol

[shadow knot]

solid stuff

[topaz linden]

Got through Kizumonogatari... ngl, wasnt much of a fan. Story felt way more abstract/floaty than Bake's

Animation was nice, was fun seeing the bits that pop up in AMVs all the time, but ready to go back into season long stories lol

[shadow knot]

I think Kizu would be the best part for most people as the main consensus

not to say I’ve only seen Bake and Kizu and then dropped afterwards tho lmao

[topaz linden]

Liked Bake much more here lol
Tho I still hold a very strong opiniom that the date episode should have been the finale

[shadow knot]

seen a lot of shows that kinda work the same calibre of pretentiousness as monogatari so personally I couldn’t really give a damn about it to continue

but I get the hype

date episode being the last for the installment kinda valid yeah

[topaz linden]

Having two more episodes after that felt weird lol

[shadow knot]

indeed

[topaz linden]

As far as seasonals go tho, did check out a few episodes of Wistoria and liked that. Nothing spectacular ofc, but a solid anime I'll probably binge when it finishes

Animation for it goes all out tho

[shadow knot]

mmm yeah I'm like way far out of the seasonals nowadays

like this season has what
a million romcoms?

[topaz linden]

Tbf, the romcoms this season look solid af lol

Like, the adaption of the Russian girl one was wayyyy better than I expected tbh

[shadow knot]

I mean you probably know me a bit by now

russian girl one I've seen pop up and it looks stupid lol

has that one sister too that goes "good morning my brother" I think

insanity
but I heard my friends talk about that one show airing from A-1 Pictures and it looks nice enough to consider watching, no clue about the story though

one day I may be back watching, but it'd probably be old classics tbh
and in a long time cuz I'm using up my free time playing music or other games or gacha hell rn haha

this one

[topaz linden]

Fun trivia: the main girl in it (the russian one) is voiced by Ash Ketchum in the English dub (who does surprisingly good Russian)

https://vxtwitter.com/ctlovesanime/status/1816206881234567461

[shadow knot]

ash ketchum russian confirmed

[topaz linden]

Oh yeh, been editing AMVs of gachas here got a ZZZ one and HSR one that are ~1 or two more trailers of footage away from being done

[shadow knot]

not a zzz truther unfortunately, the most I've delved into was the soundtracks for ellen joe because the music is heavily polyphia coded so it grabbed my interest

https://youtu.be/cK1ABiGuiG0?si=hpY3RepB7Yi3DUJY

[topaz linden]

Tbh, only song that's stuck with me from it was that one construction fight song

https://youtu.be/K0Uj7GZ3dW8

[shadow knot]

edm/10

still find it cool that they collab'd with tiesto

[topaz linden]

The animation in that MV was really nice

[shadow knot]

mhm I like it more imo

then again a bit biased cuz I'm fairly fond of his music

[fair wedge]

Someone mention tiesto?

[shadow knot]

https://youtu.be/GkgtQOlJp0Y?si=ekgkIYn2AgZZkKZs

[fair wedge]

Hmmm

It's good

But not top tiesto quality

[shadow knot]

yeah its not classic tiesto stuff but I’m just surprised

[fair wedge]

Same

[dusty fable]

lmao, what was that with Kvit. I do appreciate the tenacity not to change his own words

[dusty fable]

the legend has definitely left behind his best years, but who knows, maybe some such collab will lit up the spark again.

[long peak]

oh kvit left

after being told not to say slurs

[fair wedge]

[long peak]

somehow i am not surprised

[fair wedge]

Nah

He's still goated

Just

This was a side project or sum of his. Not usual music

Prob only did it for ez money xd

[long peak]

tiesto made a horrible mix of a song and thats all i know him for

[fair wedge]

[long peak]

it was a john legend remix

[dusty fable]

send me something recent of his that is really good.

[fair wedge]

Ik golden had some Ls but damn that's a big L take

[long peak]

genuinely was one of the worst remixes ive ever heard

hold on lemme find it

[fair wedge]

The all of me remix?

@long peak

[tidal shore]

someone killed @kvitsev ?

[long peak]

https://youtu.be/gbtLqVoMWdQ?si=jjeSrp_nYoH3IQ8-

yeah this one

[fair wedge]

Ye

[long peak]

its ass ass

[dusty fable]

the guy was one of the first digital musicians if not the first to be feaured in Madame Tussaud museum, so yeah, he is kinda good

[fair wedge]

It's mid ill agree

[long peak]

he left because he was told by 3 of us to not say slurs

we didnt even take any action

[dusty fable]

he self annihilated

[long peak]

we just told him to edit the messages

[fair wedge]

[ionic schooner]

WHAT

[long peak]

hi cocoglock

[ionic schooner]

HE WAS MY SERIOUS BRO

[ionic schooner]

hi golden

[long peak]

i have bad news for you

[long peak]

he left because he saw us as humans

apparently

[ionic schooner]

im literally a dragon

[long peak]

so he was being edgy again

youre a cat

[ionic schooner]

oh yeah

im a cat

greed

[ionic schooner]

can i see the messages or what

🥶

[tidal shore]

I'll agree with Kvit here, typical westerner attitude trying to force your own standards on what is and isn't acceptable to say for the rest of the world

if you guys even glimpsed at r/2balkan4you I bet half of you would explode

[ionic schooner]

yall

i heard aniwave is down

thats what i used for anime

[long peak]

here is where it started

[tidal shore]

there's like 29378382 alternatives good luck

[long peak]

okay but that doesnt matter
its inherently against the guidelines of this server

[fair wedge]

[ionic schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-devastated-watch-watching-movie-gif-14922607200232575847

[long peak]

this isnt a "typical western attitude", its what you follow while youre in this space

[ionic schooner]

[fair wedge]

Like shut down?

[ionic schooner]

yeah

[fair wedge]

Or just site is down

Wtf

[ionic schooner]

like gone

[fair wedge]

Noooooo

[long peak]

aniwave changed back to 9anime cause it got bodied

[ionic schooner]

idk tho i havent watched anime in a year

[ionic schooner]

YAY

I USED 9ANIME BEFORE ANIWAVE

anyways gtg anime chat

im going to the gym

[long peak]

[tidal shore]

pretty sure what I said also applies to the server rules, just more "official" and verbose

[ionic schooner]

[tidal shore]

anyway dropping the topic

[ionic schooner]

coming back once i watch anime again (never)

[fair wedge]

Oh

[fair wedge]

I wromg

Sad

[long peak]

smart idea

[tidal shore]

thx for telling me to pick myself up, I can't be bothered

[ionic schooner]

IT GOT A S3???

[tidal shore]

coco gym

[dusty fable]

it's good. But the music is simple, just pop music. Remove vocal and it's nothing special. Compare to his tracks 10-15 years ago

[topaz linden]

Zoro changed its name and look like 3 or 4 times iirc lol

Looked better with the og setup

[long peak]

didnt zoro change to kaido

[fair wedge]

Well fuck

[topaz linden]

Zoro went to aniwatch, then it became (its current form) hianime

[topaz linden]

It's a game of whack a mole, with half the moles being in countries with no enforcement lol
I wouldnt be concerned

It's just a minor inconvenience looking up the next site to use

[tidal shore]

ironic how they call themselves "alliance of creativity" while stifling creativity by removing ways for foreigners to interact with media, which also limits cultural impact and and and and

ah tbh netflix and other services have anime, but are they available in every country?

[dusty fable]

these sites get shittier with each iteration though, with the amount of ads or midware they push

[topaz linden]

Imagine seeing ads

[tidal shore]

also aren't most anime websites made with the domain of some island country like Tuvalu or something?

[topaz linden]

That or Tonga (.to)

[tidal shore]

anime-kisa was too good for us frfr

[dusty fable]

I don't see ads, because I don't use sites with too many ads

[topaz linden]

I just use an adblocker

[tidal shore]

on mobile you can get browsers with built-in ad blockers

[fair wedge]

No

[tidal shore]

I don't see the reason not to

[fair wedge]

Netflix very regional

There might be a list out there with different VPNs you need to hop into to get X shows/anime cause their blocked in this or that country

But i wouldnt bet on it

[fair wedge]

Yes

They make like 5% of their gdp from it i think or smth

Small but worth

[fair wedge]

1/6th

[next crescent]

Tbf this server wasn't even created by or started with westerners

One of them was Chinese lol

And another is in England but from somewhere east iirc

And the rules were made from a mix of people who both are and aren't American

Various Europeans, east Asians, and some Americans when the official rules were posted that we largely use today

So less westerner attitude and just... General pleasantries? I suppose

Aka just don't be racist or a bigot or an asshat

[fair wedge]

Damn there goes my plans of being an asshat tonight

[dusty fable]

that's an attitude of any powerful group, they will push their standards on you one way or another. Westerners are simply in a position to be more arrogant about it. There is no point in throwing stones at western culture when we still consume it most of the time.

[next crescent]

That and you've made the choice to join this public server with these rules

And if you don't like it then I'm sorry but rules are rules first and foremost

[topaz linden]

I always forget 50k was a thing lol
It feels like so long ago

[next crescent]

It was your choice to join, and if you don't like it then it's your choice to leave because of it lol

[dusty fable]

I doubt he is really against the rules. Feels more like a next stage of finding your own identity. It's like when you quit rebelling against your parents, and then against your school or whatever next authority you choose to defy, afterwards come the stage when you start to deny culture and ideology just to see what is your own place in this system.

Some people just never get past that point, but I doubt he is one of them

[next crescent]

I won't make assumptions for his stance, but I was saying that in general

There are people who will openly bring up how they have issues with the rules and commonly fall back on saying we are too sensitive

But they were the ones who chose to join a server with said rules

Sorry I didn't make that more clear

I know I tend to say things to a second person when I actually mean anyone in that situation

[dusty fable]

He mentioned "typical westerners" multiple times not only today. It is saying something

[next crescent]

But if kvits left because he wasn't allowed to break the rules, then that was his right to do so

[next crescent]

Ah

Hey caveman am I a typical westerner

[topaz linden]

You are a typical westerner to a fault

Like, extremely so

[next crescent]

Cool (maybe)

[topaz linden]

Like, you know those hypothetical stereotypes people have, that aren't really any one person, but more of a general shared pool of traits? Yeah, that person

[next crescent]

I am the everyone

I am stupid, white, and annoying

[dusty fable]

He is a typical westerner too, whether he denies it or not. Poland is a western country today, but ofc with their own idenity

[next crescent]

Yeah but I asked if I was

At least Jake answered

[dusty fable]

considering that there was no question mark I thought it was more of a rhethorical question. If you watch western movies and entertainment, western news, study from western books, know a western language and talk to western people it is likely a decent part of your thinking is western

[next crescent]

Fair enough

[dusty fable]

Tbh nothing wrong with that. If you watch anime for 10 years you would have a bit of japanese way of thinking too, whether you want it or not. You might communicate with japanese culture better in the future. Mutual understanding is better than misunderstanding

damn, and here we are without the main Gurren Lagann fan to appreciate the post

[mighty cape]

Idk who that is

[dusty fable]

Kvit

[mighty cape]

Ok

[next crescent]

If my interactions with Nora mean anything it means my communication with a Japanese person isn't any better LMAO

You should've been there when I tried speaking and singing to her

[next crescent]

The world was never enough for her

[topaz linden]

Nora is their own culture tbf. They've ascended beyond mortal labels

[next crescent]

Very true

She's somehow become an amalgamation of Japanese and everything else

[dusty fable]

it's likely you disagree more with some of your neighbours though so not really indicative. Now if you survival depended on that cooperation, that would be indicative

[next crescent]

Topped with bald

My neighbors?

Canada?

[dusty fable]

hey, communicating with bears should be pretty tough, aint it?

[next crescent]

LMAO

Which kind

I'd say the human kind are very easy to talk to

did I lose you

[dusty fable]

no

[next crescent]

Oh okay

[dusty fable]

I do watch hockey

[next crescent]

I don't mean the bruins 😭

Or any other bear-related team

[dusty fable]

let's be honest, it's either hockey or felling trees. Don't tell me you can be a software dev with a hand the size of a shovel /j

[next crescent]

I mean big burly gay men

They are very easy to talk to and very friendly lol

From my experience

[dusty fable]

canadians are generally quite friendly, from my experience. At least English-speaking

[next crescent]

They are

[shadow knot]

hmmm

[long peak]

Sorry this is the first thing I come back to

My brain did a triple take

[next crescent]

every bear i've talked to has been incredibly friendly and easy-going

[long peak]

My brain did another double take

Kc stop making my brain look twice

[dusty fable]

and if you played hockey at that time, that would be triple axel

[next crescent]

then just look 3 times

[long peak]

Ohhh

[dusty fable]

now I assume there is a separate meaning for bears? Is it there in Urban Dictionary?

[long peak]

No it's a term in the queer community

[dusty fable]

I suspected so

[next crescent]

even better, it's on wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_(gay_culture)

i mean, i already explained it 😭

i said big burly gay men

[long peak]

Yeah it's the same definition as what kc said

[shadow knot]

first time hearing of this lol

[dusty fable]

I mean... is it not a common use of bear when describing big bulky, possibly hairy people?

[next crescent]

it can be, but in english speaking countries it is a common name for a big, hairy gay man

[long peak]

I feel like it's 50/50 depending on who you're talking too

Usually it'd be like "oh he's kinda like a bear"

For what you're talking about

[next crescent]

ye

[dusty fable]

hmm, will ppl take offence if you call a guy a bear? In my understanding that would generally be a compliment

[next crescent]

not really, unless that person specifically finds it offensive

over here it's become a general term, sort of like calling someone a lesbian because they're a lesbian/into other girls

[dusty fable]

I was pretty sure that "What a bear" similarly to "What an oaf" (but less derogatory) was used way before any queer usage was introduced.

[next crescent]

yes

and gay was also used as a derogatory term

but it's perfectly acceptable now to use the word in reference to someone

language changes over time

and before it was used to mean a queer person, it was used to say someone was happy

[dusty fable]

and before that gay was pretty normal damn humans, decide already, do you want it to be derogatory or not

[next crescent]

"walking gayly" was akin to saying "walking with joy"

[dusty fable]

that's the problem with trying to be cool and pick up commonly used slang on the internet while being non-native speaker. You see it used commonly, you think it's normal then, maybe you use it often yourself, and then you figure out that it's actually migh be not ok to use. Well, that's an ever-existing problem of trying to keep pace with trendy words

[shadow knot]

to this day I still find a lot of terms I didn’t know existed and are bad

[next crescent]

reminds me of a little girl earlier who screamed "WORLD STAR" when she was being carted away in a carriage

i hope she didn't know the alternate meaning

but with kids these days, i have 0 idea if they mean it the way i know it or not lol

[next crescent]

same, and i natively speak this goddamn language

[dusty fable]

wait, what we are talking about here

[next crescent]

i'd say just use urban dictionary

[shadow knot]

lmfao world star like the newslet plug?

been a min since I heard of it

[next crescent]

nah, it's for something else from back in the 00s

not necessarily nsfw but it's borderline because of context

and she looked like she was maybe 10

[mighty cape]

Oh yeah? Then explain this!

[next crescent]

omg

i'm sending that to a friend

[mighty cape]

Look at the cat

[next crescent]

the cat is cute

[long peak]

World star is said when there's a fight going on

[mighty cape]

“We’ve strayed too far”

[long peak]

Originated during the vine days

[dusty fable]

ffs, sometimes I have to scroll a whole page to understand the meaning of UDictionary description

[shadow knot]

will probably figure it myself cuz I was thinking something entirely different

[shadow knot]

this

two ppl fighting you pull out ur phone and scream world star

if ur in canada then you scream 6ixbuzz 😹

[next crescent]

not just your phone and a fight lol

also if someone loses a bra & shirt and you whip out your phone

[topaz linden]

My hometown has an urban dictionary definition and it's brutal af

[next crescent]

there's one about the town that's from my state and it's kinda funny

[next crescent]

i found it when i was looking at names on ud one evening out of pure boredom

[topaz linden]

Mine's:

[next crescent]

gandalf?

[mighty cape]

Nah Alexander the Great/Iskander in Fate

(They made him huge af than he prolly actually was)

[dusty fable]

honestly, this description. I kinda understood it, but still had to read the whole page to be sure I understood it. They do get a kick from writing this, lmao

[undone marten]

Best servant

[dusty fable]

He is too normie for a War of Grail

[next crescent]

found it, just had to double check it didn't have anything bad in it

not as good as i remember it being

[dusty fable]

There is a superb amount of hills, which is not good as it doubles the time for 7 cars to drive by you and serenade you with 99 rap

[next crescent]

yee

[dusty fable]

they call it Dr Dre not because of the rap, but the sound of a car going uphill

[undone marten]

I said best servant not best master

Did you not watch fate zero or

Bruh

[dusty fable]

You need to dirty your hands to win a War of Grail. The way he was in Fate he was bound to die to more underhand tricks

[undone marten]

And he knew that

[dusty fable]

It doesn't make him a good servant in terms of War of Grail. Even Arturia was more devious than him

[undone marten]

Why do you care so much about my opinion anyway

I liked him and waiver as a character so what

[dusty fable]

Tbh, his real-life counterpart was devious enough. You don't get poisoned by a wife by being a nice person

[dusty fable]

Well, to answer this, I spent a lot of time playing mafia-like game in the world of Fate, so it's a bit of a habit to discuss strong and weak sides of Servants, since we had to RP them

The way to win the game was to find a player who is out of character, because that was the main indicator of them being mafia, since they had to have three out of character traits according to the rules

[undone marten]

It was implied he wasn't really smart

So uh there's that

[dusty fable]

Well, I don't say he is a bad person, quite the opposite, he is the most likable servant

[undone marten]

Even with the grail giving them info about the world he still doesn't know how shit works

I liked him and waiver the most

2nd is kiritsugoat

[dusty fable]

The good thing about Fate Zero is that all characters are grey in terms of characterization. Makes them deeper. Kiritsugu was far from a saint. But also likable.

[tidal shore]

who pinged

[tidal shore]

thing is though big groups only care if they deal with advertisers/public image (also can't help singling out westerners considering their massive cultural impact, especially online, where most successful businesses are made and run by them)

examples: when reddit got too big, when discord got too big, when youtube got too big

the censorship on speech is up and up

I don't blame this server or it's moderators, since they gotta deal with a bunch of idiot teens and idiot discord TOS

so it's pretty much expected

but it still bothers me

[tidal shore]

I dunno, and I never tried eastern humour here so Idk what y'all reactions would be

I'm sure it wouldn't go down well though

we are pretty crude in that regard

[tidal shore]

this is literally the first time that I have said that phrase

also, y'all don't get Kvit at all!

he said he would respect the rules, he was fine with it, the reason he left is due to pent up frustration and some other personal reasons that you can't hope to grasp, so stop making him so shallow will ya

[dusty fable]

Censorship is not a bad thing. It lets people moderate themselves. Surely censoring a hundred words out of hundred thousand doesn't make a dent in our ability to express things

I don't like censorship, but it becomes necessary with more ppl involved

[tidal shore]

you can be an ass without using censored words
you can talk about things without using censored words
smaller communities self-regulate so there's no need for rules like that (by smaller communities I mean friend groups, smaller social gatherings etc)
bigger communities take this censorship approach

but that isn't my issue here, it was never about the fact that censorship exists, but about how it is approached

ok I lied, I don't like censorship period.

I don't like how it is approached either

I especially despise the SJW culture that's prevalent in the west

you see more white people reprimanding other white people about what is and isn't allowed to say regardless of context or social setting

here in Europe it's normal to make fun of each other and even use stereotyopes
ever heard of the "A german, a pole, and a russian fly a balloon...." type of jokes? like damn, I can't even say that in the west cuz they will label me racist, xenophobe, asshole, and what else

context doesn't matter, social background doesn't matter, culture doesn't matter

everything online has to conform to western standards

and the biggest influencer of that in the west are the United States

[dusty fable]

Dude, Europe is the west

[tidal shore]

ok let me correct that to east europe then /shrug

[dusty fable]

Eastern Europe is mostly Western too with a gimmick here and there. Our societies are run by Western ideologies. Ppl grow up on Western culture, study by Western standards and work by Western standards.

[dusty fable]

Most of the materials that influence us are produced by Western ppl or influenced by Western ppl. Mostly because power centers were Western for hundreds of years in Europe

[tidal shore]

the degree of influence varies between countries

countries like France or the US try to be more PC, while the eastern europe don't care

ideologies also differ, and so do family structures

Russia is still 16th century Russia

Poland is like the dividing point I would say, which is weird, we have influence from both east and the west

[dusty fable]

It's not weird, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Balkans were a natural geographical demarcation line historically

[tidal shore]

not weird as in circumstances, but weird as in the line between influences gets blurred

and just fyi, while I don't like the things that I talked about here, I still think they're somewhat necessary (the censorship)

so don't bother with preaching to me about rules and following them and whatever

I get it

[dusty fable]

No, you misunderstood. I don't care about the rules, they change every so often. I preach that you are mostly a Westerner and it's counterproductive to think otherwise. In most places outside of Europe you would be considered a Western person. Look for example at Witcher. It has a lot of eastern European cultural influence, but ppl would call it a Western game

[tidal shore]

my bad, I should've specified I wasn't speaking just to you here

that point was a separate issue I have with others here who feel the need to constantly talk about rules to me when that isn't the point I'm making

[meager kernel]

what a weird moment to stumble in the anime channel

[dusty fable]

Honestly, it's not very noticeable to me in the way you describe it. You could say that's because I am a product of this system of beliefs, but so are you.

[dusty fable]

Hey, Geo. Don't stumble, it's a bit rocky down here

[meager kernel]

I love the pun used here

[tidal shore]

Idk, people can reliably tell I look Polish irl
maybe the way I dress and express myself could be influenced by the west, but that's mostly because I spend 90% of my time online (which isn't good, but don't care)
The Witcher is a nice example, it's only the 3rd game that got international attention, and I think the game design and presentation pretty much pulled 90% of the weight here

but The Witcher 3 was, from the start, made with the intention to appeal to international audience

[meager kernel]

do you swear a lot

All the Poles I met usually do and have the whole adidas look going on

[tidal shore]

not really

that gives swear words more punch when I say them though, all about that contrast baby 😎

[meager kernel]

no hate I also have a lot of adidas stuff

[dusty fable]

I am talking about a slightly wider world. I doubt ppl will identify you as polish in Egypt, Emirates, Japan, China, Brazil

[meager kernel]

[tidal shore]

yeah cuz they don't even know Poland exists there

[meager kernel]

ouch

[dusty fable]

Some of them will know about Poland. But when you say doesn't exist in reality means the cultural influence is negligible

[tidal shore]

yeah

[tidal shore]

yea I'm also an adidas guy, but the past few years have changed this

now I can literally buy female clothes if they look good and not be bothered by categorisation

[meager kernel]

if you are Balkan like me you get mixed up pretty much with the whole soup of the region

[tidal shore]

call me gay but holy fuck gay guys know how to dress well

[meager kernel]

and people have no idea where tf our countries usually are

except Turkey I guess

[tidal shore]

that is so true, I'm still confused about balkan countries

[dusty fable]

Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 would also be considered Western, because the fingerprint is mostly western

[tidal shore]

which balkan country are you from?

[dusty fable]

Turkish ppl know where you from because there is money for them in it Not a bad approach tbh

[dusty fable]

Tbh, I would leave the cultural differences alone if they were not the most stupidest reason for ppl to misunderstand each other. I like diversity of thought, but I hate misunderstanding. Ppl still fight wars because of these sorts of misunderstanding (I mostly imply religiously and ideologically driven wars)

[tidal shore]

war is an extension of politics though, the only people who gain from the war are the ones at the top
you don't fight war if you don't get a benefit from it (from the ruling class point of view)

crusades for example were about money and political influence for the Pope

[dusty fable]

That's a fake idea. War existed before any politics. Ppl would wage war on those who are totally unknown to them, and sometimes when they met for the first time

[tidal shore]

for personal gain

a justification is just that, a justification

so I disagree with you here

[dusty fable]

Ppl in power just leverage the inherent differences and frictions. Ofc, when ppl understand that these differences are a powerful tool to gain power they would use it. Divide and conquer

[dusty fable]

It's similar to wealth. You gain wealth by exploiting existing differences: differences in pricing, differences in supply and demand, differences in market sentiment(futures and stocks). These differences are inherent and existed there long before ppl understood them and started making advantage of it to gain wealth. Power is a similar resourse

The same with ideological and cultural differences. It's easier to gain power by exploiting differences between ppl, so it became a tool, but it was there from the beginning. And the only way to remove this tool is to reduce differences, reduce misunderstanding

[tidal shore]

yea I never said they don't

[tidal shore]

hold on, so if the idea of ruling class declaring war to gain power (or whatever else) is fake in your opinion, then why are you saying this?

also, politics have always existed where humans have existed

I'm not sure if we understand the concept in the same way here

[dusty fable]

"war is extension of politics" implies that politics come before wars, which is not always true.

That's why it's a fake idea

[dusty fable]

Ok. Let me ask you this. There is a tribe of ancient humans. They are under threat of being driven away by a pride of saber-toothed tigers. So humans attack and exterminate tigers. Is this a war or not? Are there any politics?

[tidal shore]

that's not what it implies at all though? for there to be an extension of something it first needs to exists, in this case politics came before war (and this is true)

[dusty fable]

Ok, answer the question, it's likely we have a different understanding of what is war and what is politics

[mighty cape]

So how hard do long nails/manicures in female character designs go for you? @next crescent @edgy bone

[tidal shore]

yeah, for example the tribe chief hoped to gain more favor by improving living conditions of his people, or maybe one of the members hopes to obtain merit by leading a hunting team to fight saber tooth tigers
this is also politics

as for war, I don't know

considering Australia had a war against goats 🤔

[dusty fable]

Would it be a war if it were 2 human tribes, not humans and tigers? All the reasons and goals are the same

[tidal shore]

we look at ants who fight with each other and call it ant war or something which is interesting

[tidal shore]

I honestly haven't formed a concrete opinion on what a war is exactly, but I'm leaning more towards group vs group type of thing when it comes to describing it

[dusty fable]

Because it is. War is an act of widespread hostilities for a side of war to gain an advantageous outcome.

[tidal shore]

Ik u didn't ask me, but as a guy I never liked decorated nails, they just hit different Idk 😭

[tidal shore]

then maybe a more accurate statement would be "war is often treated as an extension of politics in human society" which is definitely true from my pov

[dusty fable]

In my terminology wars exist where there is not enough room for sentience, let alone politics

[dusty fable]

I agree with that, but that's quite a different statement.

[tidal shore]

you may think it's different, but I was talking about human society to begin with

so I'm not sure why you're getting hung up on this

[dusty fable]

I don't really like the original statement. The original idea was that conflicts can be resolved by politics before fighting is necessary. That's all good, but it implies that we already have all the necessary tools to do that, which is not true

It comes from the same school of thought that Cannons is the last argument of kings, which is a presumptuous thought imo

And it presumes that when it comes to blows, that all other options were exhausted, which is by no means true.

[tidal shore]

The original idea was that conflicts can be resolved by politics before fighting is necessary.
this is a bit of an oxymoron considering fighting itself is also a tool that can be used to further your own political goals, also I never said this

anyway I don't wanna drag this topic on any longer

[dusty fable]

You never said it, but it was said before you

[mighty cape]

😠

[tidal shore]

sorry 😔

[mighty cape]

/jk

[tidal shore]

😃

thgis is anime-adjacent right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNXPR1qeitc&t=2799s

[frank musk]

Vtuber talk falls under here, so yes

[dusty fable]

Anyway, I was persistent mainly because I am interested in a topic of eradicating wars. It's quite an unsolvable problem, but it should have a solution, because we have examples of wars being eradicated on a local scale for a prolonged periods of time

[next crescent]

I do not like long nails

Both looking at anime/illustrations and real life

It looks wicked uncomfortable and my head just gets flooded with how much harder it is to do normal day-to-day stuff with them and it annoys me

Plus the constant clacking sound of hearing them hit one another is annoying

[dusty fable]

Well, manicure is pretty fine though.

It's both a fun thing to do and a fun thing to have

[next crescent]

Oh I don't doubt some people have fun wearing them and it makes them feel pretty

I just personally never liked long nails

And sometimes it can be too distracting to my brain and my focus is just solely on someone's nails and not them/their voice when they're speaking to me if they're big or bright enough

Almost like a gross reaction to them

Idk how else to explain 😭

I have nothing against people who have them though

[dusty fable]

You don't need long nails for a manicure though? You can have just a slightly longer nails, like 1.5 mms and it won't make a difference compared to clipped nails

[next crescent]

Yeah you don't, but around here most people get a manicure to get longer nails

Like their nails are trimmed and then the application of the fake nail goes on and whatever extra stuff they add

Plus the question was about long nails

Not short manicures

[edgy bone]

i dislike long nails

they look very impractical

not worth it

[next crescent]

They are very impractical

I had a coworker who always wore long nails and when she got hired she had to rethink how to use the registers because she couldn't with the nails

For how much we use our hands it seems very annoying to try and keep long ones looking nice, but some people will gladly go through the effort lol

[tidal shore]

wow

I thought I was alone in this

there was one time last year where I literally did not have time to even bite my nails cuz my hands were constantly in motion

quickly found out how annoying it is when they grow even 2 milimeters out

can't imagine long nails like those that women get for themselves

[next crescent]

Yeah lol

[mighty cape]

Imagine going insane using a manicure and smartphone

[next crescent]

This is as long as I let my nails grow

I cut them the day after lol

[next crescent]

I don't wanna, I use my fingertips and not the pads of my fingers 😭

[tidal shore]

and on that note

I can't stand nail clippers

it's just more convenient to bite

sorry to all the ladies who look at my hands

[next crescent]

I also can't imagine biting your nails

Especially until really short

It must hurt

[tidal shore]

ah

I don't bite that much

[next crescent]

Oh

[tidal shore]

I only bite the white stuff off

[tidal shore]

this reminds me of 'i did a thing'

have u seen his hands?

[next crescent]

No

Is his name "I did a thing"?

[long peak]

Yeah

He's a very crazy Australian guy

this is a random thought, but taking into account all that happened I surprisingly feel comfortable expressing my own opinions here (this is very rare), so thx for being cool people

[shadow knot]

ur welcome ig?

as long as people follow the rules here then all is fine
do as the romans type shit

[tidal shore]

I mean more the attitude during discussion

[shadow knot]

all I remember from backreading is the balkans subreddit you mentioned and I have zero clue what that is

my friends in other communities would probably know it tho since I'm usually out of the loop

[tidal shore]

oh it was fire

I never saw it personally (it's now banned anyway)

watched a cool video about balkan culture recently, it talked about the subreddit for a while

shoutout to @edgy bone for exposing me

[edgy bone]

i only know that one yt channel

outside of that im not particularly well documented on the matter

other than my own personal experience ig

[shadow knot]

ye I wouldn't know anything either

[ionic schooner]

Caveman what r some good animes

[tidal shore]

heavenly delusions, land of the lustrous, silent voice, and uhh for a comedy I guess (since this is all heavy stuff) Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Acchi Kocchi to feel cute for a day 🤔

[tidal shore]

https://myanimelist.net/character/41401/Coco hey I didn't know they made an anime about you coco

[shadow knot]

read land of the lustrous manga

anime barely touched the surface

[tidal shore]

I know

I'm just waiting for when it ends

[shadow knot]

it ended months ago lol

[tidal shore]

ohhh ok

you know, I was going to read it but then I saw the memes on reddit and was quickly dissuaded

[shadow knot]

ending was ok I still think the whole 10k years part was the highest pinnacle the manga ever achieved

😔

[tidal shore]

"see you in 10000 years"

yeah that's the meme I saw

also this

the implications @shadow knot

[shadow knot]

so true

[ionic schooner]

No way it's me

aniwave down wtf

[small scroll]

OH YEA I JUST CHECKED

nooo it was a great site :(

[craggy mango]

Oh so this is why jjk worldwide trending

[eternal wyvern]

Honestly kinda unfortunate, cuz I enjoyed the first 3-5 chapters, but the story/characters went out of focus since then and I didn't continue reading afterwards
I hope the mangaka gets another chance in the future to pace themselves cuz they have the potential imo
