If you need to wash your brain out, Torture Princess actually subverts the captured warrior woman trope.

If he purges a bunch of McKinsey contracts and saves money he’s actually doing good shit. He’s already touted moves like this in the past, if the commission basically kills contractors that’s a good thing. Semi cringe naming but could be good

However, the origin of both isekai tendencies is The Divine Comedy, where the social satire/reform and religious ideology exist in harmony. Ironic that it could critique the schism but became a schism itself.

If you can’t fart around a long term partner, what’s the point.

Obviously you gotta get to that point (I can understand holding it in for the first year) but you gotta eventually let one rip and laugh about it together.

Official hexbear party line here, report for reeducation if you cannot support this sentiment.

P.S. I am including “I don’t like Hasan, but” in the sentiment.

Yeah, not gonna lie, phone banking is fairly easy work, so I’m not like I’m giving myself the or anything.

I respect the anti-electoralist currents in our comm, but the irony here is that Hasan is getting smoke for real aid and propaganda work for AES.

We can have critical support for his support of Dems who are half-measures or other blind spots around left politics, but why bring that in here when this is basically the kind of praxis that any good ML should approve of wholeheartedly. We can disagree about some of the things Hasan supports (and I should say, some of his stuff around CA politics in particular is depressing though some of that is also just the left in CA’s fault as well…), but in this case I don’t get why folks are blasting him.

Yeah I’m too busy phone banking org members to post here.

Yeah, it’s “Shinbo Style”, btw, he’s the director at SHAFT who did Zetsubou Sensei, bakemonogatari, Madoka, among others.

Ume-sensei is the artist for the manga, and she also designed Madoka

To be fair Calvin basically is at fault for the turn to material goods by American protestantism

Needy Girl Overdose, Witch Hat, and reading Hyakkano

Comrade, don’t give up on Crime and Punishment. Ulysses is harder (if you haven’t read at least 50% of the Western Canon you won’t follow a lot of it - you need at least Homer, Virgil, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and then a good smattering of what follows to really do it). If you don’t have the Stuart Gilbert companion (https://a.co/d/0c7CeiHe) that can help - it’s what I used as an undergrad.

Still, persist - Raskolkinov’s story is truly one of the sublime ones (and if you dig it, The Brothers Karamozov is even more impressive).

I wish this was still getting updated. A truly cracked manga, alas, seems like eternal hiatus/notranslation is coming.

Zotero. Then just get a markdown editor with compatibility. You can usually @ the source at the top of the notes.

Pretty much the correct read of Solo Slopeling.

It’s got no originality, but doesn’t pretend to it either, so it’s perfectly fine that they’ve all-in’d on animation.

The x files episode “never again” uses Jodi Foster for the psycho voice in a guy’s head. Truly amazing work there.

I have the loop experience, they’re a little pricey but I feel like it’s perfect for concerts.

Yeah it’s like adopting a fucking chimp (not even a true predator that) and being surprised it killed you. Or grizzly man. I think it basically supports the thesis.

Pretty much. It can be coopted because fascists love extrrninationist ideologies, but it’s closer to a world where a Venus flytrap or other predator that uses guile to entrap prey evolved beyond humans. I haven’t seen anything in the lore to suggest otherwise. They aren’t ontologically evil they are literally “evil” like a tiger in the jungle.

Blowback Season 3 helps a lot too
