Nope. But you are just missing out on the good stuff for years.
Most of the best Japanese Animation is released only in Japanese until it is clearly a hit; then the license is sold to another company for international distribution. Unless there the release is widely anticipated (following smash hit manga sales or a huge director) then there is a time lag of years. Some good stuff never even gets an English language release.
A real weeb wants the good stuff as soon as they can get it, and they want the original, funny jokes rather than the shitty translated jokes.
The standards of Japanese voice artists are very high, and a lot of that comes through as comic timing and excellent character voice.
You can watch all the dubs you want. You are waiting for Funimation (or whoever) to tell you what you should watch. You are just not a weeb.
This type of show is made specifically to maximize re-watch potential. You keep getting more from every watching.
It is a high risk play, but it can pay off if they get it right.
Who watches dubs?
Turn in your Weeb card, immediately.
Fie!
Decent church sermons are entertaining, relatable and relevant!
It bears underlining: The American Revolutionary War and the French Revolution were in quick succession.
One of the reasons that France came to revolution is that the French royal court funded the American Revolution beyond sustainability, and then the country was hit with hard winters and terrible harvests.
Perhaps Louis XVI was in favor of the political experiment of the USA, or perhaps he and his wife saw events as a way to blacken the eye of the English, who were the dominant power of the sea. I don't know enough to say.
The French Revaluation may have been an opportunity for reform, but it quickly devolved into a grotesquery of bloodletting driven by philosophy that borders on the insane.
The parallels are uncanny.
Step 1. Eat the Rich Step 2. Smash the State Step 3. ??? Step 4. Utopia
It turns out that Step 3 always seems to be "Centralize power and establish authoritarian rule of terror"; At which point Step 4 never seems to arrive.
But it doesn't stop useful idiots buying this simple 4 step plan and assuming Step 3 will just "work itself out".
Taking a potassium supplement spares the kidneys the effort of reclaiming potassium from urine.
I switched to "Lite Salt" for this reason. it is a mixture of 50/50 KCl and NaCl. You can even get pure KCl. It is sold as "Salt Substitute". Morton makes some.
Not to say that Sodium Chloride is particularly bad, if your kidneys are fine, but there are benefits to adding more potassium to your diet.
A girl baby is born with all the eggs she will ever have.
They ripen in the ovaries one by one. However eggs are produced by the fetus in the womb.
Daily Wire: "I propose that I get to fuck your wife in the ass while you hold a tray of snacks for my consumption."

Daily Wire: "It was just a joke, bro! Unless you say yes; Then I am serious. But It is just a joke!"

Barret after sales support is somewhat legendary. There was one occasion where they gave phone support to a US soldier in a firefight in Iraq or something. Call center guy got the workshop on the phone and the soldier was able to clear his jam and unfuck his springs or whatever. Pew Pew resumed.
Most small government departments don't have the budget or the access to high quality, specialist gunsmiths to service, repair and upgrade their gear. Being able to send it back to the manufacturer's workshop is a significant advantage. Taking that away causes the government department to re-think their service and maintenance procedures or to shelve the weapons until they do.
What is it? 50% of Black Women have Herpes? The gift that keeps on giving.
A big part of the story is that Puss is deeply flawed ... and it turns out that Kitty is just as bad.
Puss is self centered and egotistical ... but mostly because he is really that good and is compensating for a need for external validation.
Kitty is a strong independent woman who absolutely, totally doesn't need Puss, not even a little bit ... but she does, and she can't admit it because she has been deeply hurt in the past and has major trust issues.
Don't worry. Most of them were men.
While you are correct, I suspect that you are deliberately missing the point.
Changes in T were positively correlated with aggression (r = 0.108, 95% CIs [0.041, 0.174])
Or how about:
The researchers found that those with relatively high testosterone and cortisol were more likely to have engaged in impulsive and violent crime.
From Testosterone and cortisol levels are linked to criminal behavior, according to new research
While research does not suggest that testosterone levels are a causal link, they do suggest that changes in testosterone levels, especially when associated with high stress, lead to an increase in impulsive behavior and criminal behavior.
I would not jump to any conclusions, because mass shooters are displaying vanishingly rare (in the scale of the population) aberrant behavior. That said, not for a moment do I think that giving suicidal people huge doses of male hormones is a good idea. Not for men, and not for women either. I am sure that there is a link; Just like high testosterone women (mostly lesbians) are the most violent within relationships.
You really don't think that taking huge doses of testosterone has anything to do with urges to violence or violent acts?
Cute.
Enjoy paying that tax. Women don't pay net tax over their lifetimes.
Did you even read the Wikipedia article? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
The most basic version of the dilemma, known as "Bystander at the Switch" or "Switch", goes:
There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two (and only two) options:
Do nothing, in which case the trolley will kill the five people on the main track. Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person. Which is the more ethical option? Or, more simply: What is the right thing to do?
You will notice right away that in the definition of they hypothetical problem the trolley is a "runaway trolley"; that is there is no conductor or driver on board. Shouting at it won't help, as there is no one there to hear you. You will also notice that the bystander doesn't have a magical "Trolley Breaks Turn On" Switch to pull. Just the one that will divert the trolley.
The point is to construct a series of situations involving morality and personal responsibility and then discuss the ethics of each course of action.
There is a large body of thought that has come from this set of thought experiments.
Did you know that Albert Einstein constructed thought experiments? The Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment is actually making a point about the interaction between quantum scale interactions and Newtonian scale objects, like a cat.
Refusing to interact with the hypothetical thought experiment just means you don't actually understand what it is for, or you don't like what it tells you about yourself.
Yes, there are false dichotomies. Yes, it is a strict logical fallacy to present on in an argument. Yes, people who argue in bad faith do this all the time. No a hypothetical situation as the basis of a thought experiment isn't one of those.
The original hypothetical is from the point of view of a bystander standing next to a switch.
The only control they have over the trolley is to either pull the switch or not pull the switch. We can go on to assume that the trolley is unmanned, so shouting won't help. Perhaps the trolley operator is running along behind after the trolley ran off down the hill.
I spent ten years working in mental health in a non-medical role.
They look exactly like the self cutting scars I have seen. Upper arms and upper thighs were the most common. Usually on the left arm, so they can use the right (dominant) hand to cut.
Scars like that are from cutting through the skin layers to the fat layer underneath, then healing without stitches. That is why they are wider in the middle than at the ends.
Because your school district is either now, or in the very near future, run by university educated, divorced or single white women. University educated, single white women are the shock-troops of the Neo-Marxist movement within educational institutions.
One Neo-Marxist useful idiot will get promoted to principal and from that day forward they will only hire other neo-Marxists. At that point it doesn't matter what your school curriculum says, they will engage is "Praxis"; which is the teaching of Marxist principles.
"Four little black boys are playing in the street. The evil police officer shoots one. How many little black boys are left?"
When you confront your teacher, they will go directly to DARVO. Unless you were actually in the classroom when the lesson took place, you won't have any evidence. The school principal will run cover for them. Now what?
This is more or less what happened to Oakland. It was initially an industrial center with access to a major port. There were shipyards and Chrysler had their biggest west coast factory there.
With improvements to the transportation system the town basically got bypassed. Without jobs, rents went down. The poor underclass moved in and it became a ghetto and a major hub of crime activity with at least two major gangs operating out of Oakland. Notably the Hell's Angels paid a chemical engineer to invent an efficent process to make amphetamines.
eventually had enough introspection to say things like "whites aren't inherently evil."

Gizortnik,
Right here you conflate skills with industry. Then you go on to make astounding proclamations that totally miss the point.
You can buy a buggy whip today. I am sure about seven people in the USA sell them. As for the industry, it has gone the way of the dodo.
As for Watchmakers, the craft, it is today basically recreational. A person that design, machine the parts then assemble them into a working watch is more or less a unicorn. There are a few factories that make watch movements, but they don't do a real lot of design work, as they use mostly tried-and-true standard designs. Unless a company (like Omega) is very high end, they use standard watch movements which they buy by the thousands to assemble into watches.
There was a revolutionary watch movement design in the 1980s. The Swatch movement made use of self lubricating polymer parts. They were developed in response to the "quartz crisis"; which was the availability of inexpensive, reliable quartz crystal movements. The swatch movements required no bi-annual disassembly and maintenance, nor did they need batteries. They were "accurate enough" for daily use, and they were priced to compete with digital watches.
In general the efforts failed. While Swatch made enormous strides as a fashion brand, mechanical watches are more or less an anachronism, and they have gone the way of the pocket watch. Yes they maintain cachet as a luxury item, but they are worn as a status symbol to show that the owner can afford to waste money to own them and keep them in good working order. As an industry watch manufacturing still exists, but the craft of the watchmaker has vanished, replaced by standardized electronic components. The watch movements have been, in general, subsumed by the electronics manufacturing industry.
As for transferable skills between the electric motor industry, which is also being subsumed by the electronics manufacturing industry ... well there are not many skills in common. If you want a blow by blow breakdown as to why, I'd be happy to explain.
The point is that this is a revolutionary change. A mechanical engineer who has a second specialty in mass production and building production lines isn't going to find much work in an electronics factory unless they can retrain to program, understand and service robotic pick-and-place machines.
Just as the vacuum tube and all of the specialist glass manufacture basically vanished at the advent of the transistor, so too is happening to the brushed electric motor.
The modern synchronous brushless motor has more in common with a precision servo drive than it does to the venerable universal motor; and more to the point it is cheaper in the long run.
Yes, people will retrain. Good. Yes skilled professionals will have transferable skills. Great!
A revolutionary change will have repercussions far and wide. It is what the Boston Consulting Group calls a "Shake Out" of the market.
Even the women who are not feminists are benefiting from the changes brought about by those women that are feminists.
Feminism is the dominant political paradigm. Change my mind.
