It was only a matter of time before we got an anime about "a man who falls in love with his maid robot".
Enjoy ..

One thing I like about the 2024 presidential debate is that both candidates got to talk about their time as president. It's a rare thing in the US to have two presidents who have served a term campaigning for a second term. Maybe it would be a good thing if presidents couldn't serve consecutive terms.
@sardonicsmile I mean I have my other assets. I'd rather have a home that I have ownership of that someone would have to boot me out of far away from urban chaos.
I'd say it depends on what you rent though as well. I think if we have hyperinflation the compounding off putting of pain is just going to make it a full on route. House is better for those ends.
@kaiservenom She isn't wrong. But 'wifing women up' usually meant you could actually put them in line too. That has been changed for a long time now.
@sardonicsmile I'd rather own going into hyperinflation
It looks like I am above the cutoff age for a potential draft. Though I suppose that is not a sure bet in a full blown war where they want as many men as possible.
Even if a draft were to go through and every man complies without resistance, it still would not yield good results, as a demoralized population does not make for a great fighting force. Forcing all young men to serve will do little good when the motivation to fight is severely lacking.
@tournel I do think a good part of this only comes down when some significant players collapse. Much of this shit is imbedded with the current system world wide.
I agree that there will be pockets of freedom in many places.
Here's what else we're going to see - people forced by necessity to become deadly serious about values, meaning and purpose.
I predict that through that effort, people will discard fairweather ideologies. Everyone will undergo their own reinvent-the-wheel process.
Some will finally understand why true things persist, other won't. Billions must learn.
Religion is not stupid, slavish or "herd mentality". Historically, atheism is a very young and arrogant worldview that has never held cultural power like this before anywhere and is currently failing hard everywhere.
Religion is 100% necessary for large groups of people to co-exist and thrive across generations.
If you don't understand that then go through history. It is littered with endless cycles of corrupted versions of religion emerging and failing, over and over.
@RodrickSage This is pretty gay. Yeah, the system sucks. Doing the most work for yourself while minimizing the work you need to do to be 'successful' in the system without getting hard fucked by it is the ideal. The system of destroying dignity should pass by the wayside in our life time at least. We'll deal with whatever hand we're dealt though.
@UncleIroh @Zeb @Pain66 @DoubleD @Mommy @Mongoliaboo I would be perfectly contented with it being banned digitally. My mind leans towards physical means and red light districts to contain general degeneracy aside from TWRA obviously.
@Zeb @Pain66 @DoubleD @Mommy @Mongoliaboo
And when I say SOME laws, I don't want a society that allows necrophilia, bestiality and incest.
@Zeb @Pain66 @DoubleD @Mommy @Mongoliaboo
Nuanced take.
I can admit that porn is a social weapon and there are documented cases where nation states have deployed it to break morale and weaken families (Israel to Palestine is the obvious one).
I can also admit that an excess of porn, like all pleasures, can be damaging to men, and boys in particular.
Banning it? I'm undecided.
There should be SOME laws, even though ultimately this battle can only be fought by every individual.
