Keep it the hell up and happy Canada Day!

Went into S1 with no expectations and was really impressed. Great romance anime with believable character development and zero cringe. Excited for the follow up.

S1 was a fairly bog-standard isekai that only served as a vehicle to celebrate Japan’s vending machine culture.

If you’re looking for a great story, you won’t find it here. But if you find the premise amusing, and the Japanese obsession with vending machines interesting, then it’s some good mindless fun.

Exactly. Genocide was wrong then and it’s wrong now. It should not even be a question that we all condemn Hitler and his genocidal Nazi regime - just as it should not be a question that we condemn Israel and its genocidal Nazi regime.

The Holocaust of the Jews was a horrific, unforgivable crime. So too is the Holocaust of the Palestinians. This is non-negotiable for any person of conscience.

Horse hair is very much a thing and used for insulation. I lived in an apartment in Boston built in the 1890s that had horse-hair insulation.

I do think it’s from the mane and tail and not the fine fur of the body. But that would just be an assumption.

As an embarrassed American, I would urge you to boycott any remaining goods until such time as we’re not a Nazi shithole. Might be a while.

And U.S. consumers lose because, if there’s still anyone unclear on this, we pay the goddamn tariff and not a single person in Canada.

Yeah, let’s take a technology already known for filling in gaps with invented nonsense and use that as our new training paradigm.

I won’t be satisfied that this attempt at fascism has collapsed until we no longer have plain-clothes, masked goons kidnapping people off the street.

They’ll still stop serving breakfast at 9 sharp and you’ll be hungry until lunch. 🙁

Israel’s been calling it a “selfie yacht” like people really take an Instagram vacation to a fucking war zone where the entire population is starving and children are slaughtered en masse.

Israel’s approval rate in Europe is 20% and falling. People are finally waking up to who the modern Nazis are.

In their minds, they’ve made up a fake alternate history where it all belongs to them.

You’re right. Imagining that Israel would ever comply with international law or abandon its long-term goal of colonizing the entire region is indeed a crazy thought.

The New York financier??

Third day in a row, but fourth shooting this week. Israel first shot Palestinians at the aid point on 5/27, and then again the past three days.

Is this the fourth time in the past week that Israel has gunned down starving Palestinians?

Edit: Yes, the article confirms that this is indeed the fourth time in the past week that Israel has gunned down starving Palestinians at an aid point. Fucking ghouls. Hard to even keep track.

I saw a video last night of a father holding the severed torso of his maybe six year old daughter. She was cut in half by an Israeli bomb. How even 20% of Europe can still support this slaughter is beyond me.

I don’t hate all uses of AI and use it quite a bit (particularly for translation and coding). But I absolutely do hate the low-effort, garbled memes it generates, and the endless sea of garbage websites with inaccurate AI-generated text that make it hard to find real information anymore.

That’s the slop, and you can easily hate the slop without hating everything about AI.

Silly in this case, though. That looks like a real cat, and doesn’t have any of the hallmarks of slop.

Bastion is a 6/10 beat-em-up with 10/10 art, music, and voice acting. I enjoyed that game a lot (and still listen to the soundtrack on road trips), but boy does the atmosphere carry the weight of an otherwise average game.

Pretty forgivable since it was their first effort. Hades feels nice and crisp while keeping all the other points strong, too.
