Thanks for informing me. I wasn’t aware.

The material conditions are totally different. I know he is a chud but Peter Zephan was on the money. Geopolitics can be reduced to purely physical and material concerns. Those made the Ukraine war inevitable. They also make an invasion of Taiwan highly unlikely unless the west manages to leverage a fulcrum that it is completely unacceptable.

Poland is hungry. I know several polish nationalists and they are A) wanting revenge against Banderites B) wanting to do some revanchism and take land back.

If Poland gets involved in a weapons hot manner I won’t be surprised if they act as a wild card pursuing their own interests.

Do we actually think that the Ukrainian People (with a capital P) have a say? Like, I understand the military aspect of making the populace feel the cost of war (in a democratic country [or at least a nominal one]). But does this actually affect strategic stuff or is it just making the average person suffer more?

Eh, we don’t k ow what was said and I doubt we are going to. As was, and ever shall be, I trust Xi.

Sorry if this is too much of a shit post, but it’s genuinely a happy feel generator…thought I’d share.

So I just listened to it. I can’t describe it either, BUT ITS FUCKING AWESOME. Hell yeah my dude you just introduced someone to a band they like. And that’s like one of the best things you can do because music brings joy.

Seriously, thank you.

Your answer and others have convinced me I need to check it out. So don’t be down on yourself. If group wisdom is a thing (spoiler alert: it is) you’re in good company. You’ve added onto the answers others had and more thoroughly convinced me to check it out. Thank you for taking the time to answer

Good luck with those assignments! I doubt I can be any help, but post here and I’m sure a lot of us are gonna try to be helpful. Wreck that school shit comrade!

You sound like a person with good taste in general (and very polite) do you have any recs that might not be triggering?

In order to be fair: I have a rec in case you haven’t checked it out already. From another world is a show that treats homosexuality as normal because it is actually mandated in the young people. I know that’s kinda weird, but it pulls it off.

Cheers

Hell yeah my dude, I appreciate the attempt. I’m at the level of drunk where music is sex rn so I’ll edit this into something not useless after I check it out.

That does sound like what I was looking for, but I think I’ll pass because I am having a hard time with homophobia rn tbh. I appreciate the rec and the cw. Please don’t my passing in on it as judgement against your taste

That all sounds dope as hell. Would you rec one over the the other to start with? Madoka was one of my first anime so it kinda spoiled me, but on the plus side I’ll always enjoy a new show by gen.

Everyone mentions that as a big anti-war arc, I’m looking forward to it but so many episodes sad face.

Yoooo my brother in metal! That sounds awesome. I love music but am also musically illiterate. Would you be so kind as to explain/link how it’s a deconstruction? I believe you and love metal myself, but I’m also a dumbass so please don’t take this as calling out the validity of your response.

How do? I’ve seen a decent chunk of it and seems like a well done but normal shonen? I am only up to the battle tower.

My exact feelings on the show, not sure what the fuck lmao

That’s dope and mind expanding because I never considered that. I just assumed the hate boner this place has for anime meant anything that could be considered loli is haram.

I’m a sucker for cringe because I myself am super cringe. Can barely finish some IASIP episodes.

For real though, grand blue is by far the funniest anime I’ve seen. It’s basically college hijinks the show (with beautiful water animation because scuba diving). So many good recruit faces as well.

Fair warning: some of the humor is very bro-ish, bits it’s played in that manner because the characters are mostly college bros doing drunk bro shit. The worst examples do get called out and learn from it.

Edit: it’s overall very wholesome and funny. Relatable to anyone who has done stupid things while young, drunk, and surrounded by friends.
