It is kind of horrifying that people can pump a lot of BS out there, the BS circulates and ages and then becomes the source for further BS. Eventually the central claim is accepted as true.
I was like damn I've definitely read this before. Naively assumed it was just the same user reposting it.
There is something to be said for high effort and more well thought out comments floating to the top. Obviously groupthink is the big concern, but even something as simple as the displaying of the number of downvotes does a lot for that.
The fact of the matter is retards are going to get swept up into groupthink no matter what, karma just greases the proverbial wheels a bit.
the Switch is going to break the record for highest selling console of all time within 2 years or so
I could believe it. My boss is a Japanese dude with 3 kids from ages 7 to 13. I laughed my ass off when he told me they have 3 switches, one for each kid.
I went to public school in a purple state. The Bible was mentioned precisely zero times in 13 years. These people live in an imaginary world.
Physiognomy wins again.
As a general rule, never trust the whole rape and death threats shtick. Was she doing something wrong or was she not? Regardless of whether the threats were real (and let's face it, the vast majority probably were not real or at the very least not credible), that is the question that matters. Leftists in general love to act like getting death threats absolve them of the often ridiculous and immoral actions that solicited those supposed threats in the first place.
Take Touhou for example, it's nowhere near as relevant as it used to be. ZUN doesn't care, he still churns out 6 new lolis every 2 years or so and let music doujin groups write entire albums around them.
Had the privilege to shake this man's hand at Summer Comiket last year while buying his newest game and it might be sad but it's one of the highlights of last year for me.
Conversely, once you have a good grasp of kanji you are in good shape. If I come across a word I'm not familiar with there is a good chance I can figure it out without looking it up by seeing what characters compose it.
I've dabbled in Chinese and Korean as well and it's insane the boost that knowing Chinese characters gives, whereas with Korean its like I'm left alone in a desert. Many words come from the same Chinese words but they no longer use the characters so deciphering things is difficult for me.
Do it man. Trust me, you won't regret it. Best thing I've ever done.
The more based people that learn and circumvent the gay commie localizers the better. 頑張ってください！
Did they do the whole black national anthem shtick yesterday?
That's a rough one but in the fierce competition for the cringiest comment sucking off Israel, Vivek's "divine nation with a divine purpose" or whatever the hell it was puts that to shame.
Fuck, the sheer prospect of Mike being president makes Newsome seem not so abysmal in comparison. Newsome seems like same old uniparty with a slick new coating applied. Big Mike would be just thoroughly demoralizing on so many levels for obvious reasons.
They do it in South Korea as well.
Imagine the screeching if Valentines Day in the west were like what it is in most of Asia. A day where the women actually have to do something for the men. I bet it would be an issue then.
"ReEeeEeEE it's satire why are you getting so triggered over it reeeeeee!"
The implication by even making something like this is that there are grains of truth to it. That is what is supposed to make it funny. Whatever supposed grains of truth exist to justify this exist purely within the heads of crazy leftists.
As an Ohioan I am a little biased towards Vance but Paul is probably the best pick. Or Smith1980 to help win the black vote.
I dont like either of those two either though. Could do a lot worse but could do way better.
For the longest time that shit was confined to eurocucks and gay people but it has started to seep into American vernacular as well. Some of the most cringe newspeak out there.
Well that's good to hear. Maybe it will happen one day. The series hasn't really faded into obscurity yet despite no pulse on the anime front since the movie. The biggest obstacle to another season is probably the author being slow. They'd definitely want a couple books coming out close to a second season if possible so they could ride the wave for more book sales.
One interesting thing is the Light Novel artwork has both Sora and Shiro as very different than the anime/manga. Those portray them as beautiful.
Sounds like standard anime tactics. Good looks are more of a draw. I was just thinking about this the other day with Kusuriya no Hitorigoto. The novel goes out of its way to describe Maomao as being relatively plain, and I think the LN illustrations do an okay job of portraying that, but the manga goes ahead and makes her breathtakingly gorgeous. On one hand I like faithful portrayals but it's hard to complain about the pretty depictions.
Kurami best girl.
Great taste.
Regarding NGNL, I've always wondered if the source material sucks or flames out or something after the first season's worth of material. I've had the novels for a while but have yet to get around to reading them. Really hard to conceive of why they haven't continued it.
I remember when the movie came out back in like 2017 (how the fuck was that 6.5 years ago....) and momentarily revived the hype around the series. I was sure they'd follow it up with a season 2 within a year or two but no dice.
I'm convinced a good 90% of people who are so immediately and unwaveringly adamant that it was the most safe and secure election ever know full well that it wasn't deep down and just run cover for it because they liked the result.
What a fucking retard. And I don't say that lightly.
She didn't even bother to write a subject for her fake email before sending it to herself?
I think most of the claims about Yasuke are probably bullshit. But to play devil's advocate, he could have very well learned to speak Japanese after Nobunaga died. Not sure why it suddenly becomes restricted to him having to learn it in 3 months. That being said, the whole thing is probably bullshit.
