@susie Enjoy. I can't remember the last time I earnestly took the time to watch anime.

@Xenophon That implies several things. It's unfortunately that a children's book was written for this situation, but such is the world.

@Heil_Honkler @deprecated_ii I still have no idea what you mean. The illustration could be a commentary on modern life as presented with a female character, and it has nothing to do with females' trajectory through life as such. If you have something to say, please state it plainly as I have no time for obfuscation without benefit.

@Tfmonkey @Shlomo You comment in the MMM about taking impressions with a grain of salt is exactly what I mean.

@Tfmonkey @Shlomo
Russia is doing exactly what they've been doing; they haven't cucked just because they haven't brought the hammer down in 1 week to smash the forces which invaded Kursk.

Don't trust old sources just because they've been reputable in the past. Examine everything fresh each time for validity.

@Tfmonkey, Ukraine is not beating the Russians back. Check some of the maps and live footage that folks like @Shlomo posts.

I was skeptical at first about the situation in Kursk and Ukraine when channels like Kings and Generals and other history or military analysis channels broke for Ukraine, but this is exactly what the regime does. They hit the big channels that people who are potentially interested in strategy and war watch.

@Heil_Honkler @deprecated_ii It's enjoyable illustration, but I don't see what kind of life this is for her other than maybe that of an ethot.

This is a reminder to each of you who may not know: empty your dryer's lint trap every time (or at least check it). It might save you from causing a house fire.

@Paultron @deprecated_ii I've seen females wash soiled cloth diapers in laundromats--no sanitization beforehand--off the bum and into the tub. It really is just an algorithm without abstract though. There is no thought that the soiled clothing has to go through certain processes to remove the foreign objects causing the soiling.
Dirty in => Clean out.

@Justicar If it was merit, why are they showing that image?

@ButtWorldsMan Males can see themselves in the character because of the character traits, not for superficial markers. Adult males, generally, are capable of abstract thought. Males can identify with character traits that they may not have but desire to have and embody.

@Xenophon @ForbiddenDreamer @TimeSpent Part of the reason why people of non-first-world countries don't often like dogs as pets is because they don't keep them as pets. Those dogs which do exist tend to be dirty and feral. I think it's more of a cultural thing than a race-specific thing, otherwise you'd have second generation western immigrants with the same genetic makeup as their grandparents hating dogs.

@deprecated_ii Some of the nicest sweaters I've gotten were from the thrift store.

@Justicar If you (not you personally, Justicar) thought, "Oh, it's not that bad..." when reading those, then it is far too comfortable now for you than it was for the American founding fathers.

@Justicar Correction to my first response: Imagine being legally required to house a squad of soldiers in your garage.

@Justicar Imagine being told that you were no longer allowed to have a mayor or a town council and that a Fed was being appointed to make legislation as he saw fit with one of his first acts being to ban all public gatherings.

Imagine if you sentenced a raping and murdering politician to death only to have them whisked away to another the capitol for another trial with no cause?

@Justicar It is far too comfortable to do anything.

Imagine being legally required to house a squad of soldiers in your home for an indefinite period of time.

Imagine an entire state being told that they would no longer be allowed to make shipments ala Covid lockdown until the actions of a group of hoodlums which cost the government $1.7MM were paid.

Some Lofi lute for you lads and ladies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfzfIo99Toc

@deprecated_ii What kind of a life is this for a female?

@Justicar @UncleIroh I have to use VSCode and Eclipse on Windows machines for work still when I'm working in TS, JS, or Java. ++CLI scripting for most things, of course.
