Wow BBB referenced! Idk if I'd put it on the same level as FMA:B, but it's a really fun modern fantasy setting.

Oh man, I'll give plenty of recommendations, where to start?

I think the best things to come out in the last year are Dungeon Meshi and DanDaDan. Both are at a level of quality and originality that I'd feel comfortable recommending them to anyone who likes anime. Neither are finished, but both come from animation studios with a very high pedigree who I trust to continue doing great work.

I'll also always recommend GOATs like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, and Evangelion* pretty freely. Evangelion comes with the asterisk because I warn everyone how heavy it is, but I'd still push anime fans to go through it once because of how great it is.

Lastly, there's a few I will recommend with many caveats. Stuff like JoJos Bizarre Adventure, One Piece, Panty + Stocking, Gurren Lagan, are all really, really great interesting and unique anime. They also have a lotta gooner bait in them. Sometimes it's because the show is trying to to satirize gooner bait, sometimes it's because the author is both a gooner and a talented mangaka, but I will give heavy warning beforehand and will usually only recommend these shows to people who watch a lotta anime.

It only stops being magical if you let cynicism win.

Neither are guilty of anything more than surviving.

What the fuck are you doing trying to create scenarios where you can blame the workers? This is exactly what the ownership class wants, for people to create bullshit purity tests that further divide the proletariat. There is no ethical job under capitalism, nothing that can be done without a drop of malice, because our system has been designed to maximize cruelty.

This is a pretty negative outlook, and an unhealthy one. If your childhood trauma is impacting your current life, coming to terms with what happened and growing past it is absolutely a valid option. It will take time and personal effort, and you have to want to make the change, but it is possible.

Note that coming to terms doesn't have to mean playing nice with the people who abused you, or even having any communication with them at all. It just means finding closure, forgiving yourself, and moving forward.

yo why is the guy packin?

Still is, people use heuristic thinking every day of their lives. It's not like we'd be better off removing that part of us, the ability to make quick and decisive decisions should be applauded. We just need to remember that the first conclusion we jump to is not always correct.

The problem is really that people think you need to pay $350,000, but you shouldn't seriously pay more than $40,000. Higher education as a concept isn't a scam, but certain schools like the Ivy Leagues and private universities absolutely are. While there certainly are benefits to going to a prestigious school, most public state universities in the United States are excellent and hold good reputation. The quality of education you'll get at a local state college will only be like 10% worse than Harvard or Yale, but will cost 10x less. There's also the argument for technical schools or apprenticeships; while potentially more limiting, these also offer a significantly more affordable path of higher education for Americans.

While you won't necessarily get a bonus or anything for having a degree that aligns with the role you perform at a company, you aren't getting that job without the degree. College degrees serve as a way to move between the American de jure caste system; you can either work in low-wage jobs that won't require a degree, or you pursue higher education to get access to the ones that do.

Sylvanas is a bold example, considering I think most non-gooners would actually prefer her older models.

Good! Hopefully one of those other apps is federated and free from any hostile interests.

Yeah, they should shut down both. Honestly, X should be on the chopping block even faster that Meta, but Zuck seems committed to racing Musk to the bottom.

The requirement isn't that vampires need to hear you say "You can come in," it's that you need to extend them a formal invitation and lower the barrier that protects your home. Theoretically, you could lie to the vampire, but they'd probably notice your barrier and wouldn't get fooled.

...you do have a barrier right? You properly consecrated the ground before moving, drew the sigils, and cleansed all existing evil spirits? 'Cuz otherwise, any old spooky creature will probably skip the pleasantries and just get you.
